William of Worcester's Chronicle of England
William of Worcester, born around 1415, and died around 1482 was secretary to John Fastolf, the renowned soldier of the Hundred Years War, during which time he collected documents, letters, and wrote a record of events. Following their return to England in 1440 William was witness to major events. Twice in his chronicle he uses the first person: 1. when writing about the murder of Thomas, 7th Baron Scales, in 1460, he writes '… and I saw him lying naked in the cemetery near the porch of the church of St. Mary Overie in Southwark …' and 2. describing King Edward IV's entry into London in 1461 he writes '… proclaimed that all the people themselves were to recognize and acknowledge Edward as king. I was present and heard this, and immediately went down with them into the city'. William’s Chronicle is rich in detail. It is the source of much information about the Wars of the Roses, including the term 'Diabolical Marriage' to describe the marriage of Queen Elizabeth Woodville’s brother John’s marriage to Katherine, Dowager Duchess of Norfolk, he aged twenty, she sixty-five or more, and the story about a paper crown being placed in mockery on the severed head of Richard, 3rd Duke of York.

Froissart Book 1: 1307-1340. [27th October 1326] 14. When the queen [aged 31], the barons, and the others were comfortably lodged, they laid siege to the castle as closely as they could. Then the queen had Sir Hugh Despenser the elder [aged 65] and the Earl of Arundel [aged 41] brought before her eldest son and all the barons who were there, and said that she and her son would give them justice and a fair trial, according to their deeds and actions. Then Sir Hugh replied: 'Ah, lady, may God grant us a just judge and a fair judgment; and if we cannot have it in this world, may He give it to us in the next!' Then rose Sir Thomas Wake [aged 29], a good knight, wise and courteous, who was marshal of the army. He recited all their deeds from a written record, and then turned to an old knight who was there, so that he might deliver a judgment, based on the faith owed by men in such matters, and on the nature of such crimes. The knight consulted with the other barons and knights and then delivered his full judgment: that they had well deserved death, based on the many horrible deeds recounted there against them, which were held to be true and clear. And they had, by the diversity of their crimes, deserved to be executed in three ways: first to be drawn, then beheaded, and finally hanged from the gallows. And just as they were judged, so were they immediately executed before the castle of Bristol, in sight of the king and of the said Sir Hugh the younger [aged 40], and of all those inside, who were filled with deep grief and outrage. And it may be understood that they were in great anguish of heart. This execution was carried out in the year of grace 1326, on the feast of Saint Denis, in October.
14. Quant la royne et tout li baron et li aultre furent herbergiet à leur aise, il assegièrent le chastiel, au plus priès qu'il peurent. Et puis fist la royne ramener monsigneur Huon le Despensier le vielle et le conte d'Arondiel devant son ainsnet fil, et devant tous les barons qui là estoient, et leur dist que elle et ses filz leur feroient droit et loy et bon jugement, selonch leurs fais et leurs œuvres. Adonc respondi messires Hues et dist: «Ha! dame, Diex nous voelle donner bon juge et bon jugement; et se nous ne le poons avoir en ce siècle, si le nous doinst en l'autre!» Adonc se leva messires Thumas Wage, bons chevaliers, sages et courtois, qui estoit mareschaus de l'ost, et leur racompta tous leurs fais par escript, et tourna en droit sus un viel chevalier qui là estoit, afin qu'il raportast sus se feauté que à faire avoit de telz personnes, par jugement, et de telz fais. Li chevaliers se consilla as autres barons et chevaliers, et raporta par plainne sieute que il avoient bien mort desservie, par pluiseurs horribles fais qu'il avoient là endroit oys racompter, et les tenoient pour vrais et tous clers. Et avoient desservi, par le diversité de leurs fais, à estre justiciés en trois manières, c'est à savoir, premiers traynés, et puis decolés, apriès pendus à un gibet. Tout en tel manière qu'il furent jugiet, furent il tantost justiciet par devant le chastiel de Bristo, veant le roy, et veant le dit monsigneur Huon le fil, et tous ceulz de laiens qui grant despit en eurent. Et puet çascuns savoir que il estoient à grant meschief de cuer. Ceste justice fu faite l'an de grasce mil trois cens vingt et six, le jour saint Denis, en octembre.

Adam Murimuth Continuation. [17th November 1326]. Lord Hugh Despenser the Younger [aged 40], Robert de Baldock, and Simon of Reading were brought to the Queen, who was at Hereford. However, before their arrival, the Earl of Arundel [aged 41], John Daniel, and Thomas de Micheldever were beheaded in Hereford through the agency of Lord Roger Mortimer [aged 39], who harboured a deep hatred for them and whose advice the Queen followed in all matters.
Dominum vero Hugonem Dispenser filium, Robertum de Baldok, et Simonem de Redynges ad reginam, que fuit Herefordiæ, conduxerunt. Sed ante eorum adventum fuerunt decollati Herefordiæ comes de Arundel, Johannes Daniel, et Thomas de Michedeure, per procurationem domini Rogeri de Mortuo mari, qui perfecto odio oderat illos et cujus consilium regina per omnia sequebatur.
Lanercost Chronicle. [17th November 1326]. After a short interval the Earl of Arundel [aged 41] was captured likewise. He had married the daughter of Sir Hugh the younger1, and had been, with Hugh, one of the king's counsellors. He was condemned to death in secret, as it were, and afterwards beheaded. Meanwhile all who were captives and prisoners in England on account of their adherence to the oft-mentioned Earl of Lancaster were released, and the exiles were recalled, and their lands and heritages, whereof they had been disinherited, were restored to them in full; wherefore they joined the party of the queen and her son eagerly and gladly.
Note. This is a mistake. Edmund Fitzalan 2nd or 9th Earl of Arundel married [his wife] Alice Warenne Countess Arundel daughter of William Warenne. It was Edmund' son Richard [aged 20] who had married Isabel [aged 14], daughter of Hugh "Younger" Despencer 1st Baron Despencer [aged 40].

Chronicle of Henry Knighton. 17th November 1326. Shortly thereafter, Lord Edmund, Earl of Arundel [aged 41], was captured by Lord John de Charlton in Shropshire and brought to Hereford, where the queen had assembled with the nobles of the realm. Because he had given his son in marriage to the daughter of Hugh Despenser, and because he had been secretly part of the king's council and, as was said, had worked harm against the queen during her absence, and had also been involved in procuring the death of the noble Earl Thomas of Lancaster, together with Lord Aymer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke, who had died suddenly while abroad, the said Edmund was sentenced to death. He was drawn and hanged on the 17th of November (fifteen days before the Kalends of December), along with his squire, named John Daniel, who had led him astray with his counsel in many things.
Cito post captus est dominus Edmundus comes de Arundell per dominum Johannem de Charleton in Schropshyre, et ductus est apud Herford ubi regina cum magnatibus regni convenerant. Et quia dederat filium suum hæredem filiæ Hugonis Dispensatoris et secretus erat in consilio et malum procuraverat reginæ ut dicebatur in sua absentia, et etiam procuraverat mortem nobilis comitis Lancastriæ Thomæ, cum domino Omero de Valenciis comite de Penbroc qui subito moriebatur in transmarinis agens. Et sic dictus Edmundus morti adductus est, distractus et suspensus, xv. kalendarum Decembris cum armigero suo nomine Johanne Danyel, qui ipsum consilio suo in multis seduxerat.
Chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker of Swinbroke. The queen, as previously mentioned, was in Hereford with the master of all her malice, the bishop [Bishop Adam Orleton] of that same city, presiding over the army. At the urging of Roger de Mortimer, who hated them with a deep and unrelenting hatred, though not a prophetic one, Edmund, Earl of Arundel,1 John Daniel, and Thomas Micheldever were beheaded.
Regina, ut predictum est, apud Herefordiam, cum magistro tocius sue malicie, episcopo scilicet istius civitatis, exercitui presidente, Edmundus comes Darundel, Iohannes Daniel, et Thomas Miceldevre, ad instanciam Rogeri de Mortuo mari, qui perfecto odio set non prophetico oderat illos, fuerunt decollati.
