About King Edward II and his deeds

Johannes de Mowbray, Eogerus de Clyfforth, et alii nobiliores cum eo capti, in diversis locis Anglian injuste sunt suspensi. Ipse quidem Edwardus rex in vitio sodomitico nimium delectabat ; dictum Petrum de Gavestona et duos Hugones Dispensatores, qui pranscriptorum malorum fuerant incentores, nimis peramabat. Fortuna ac gratia omni suo tempore carcre videbatur. Inimicos suos in campo attendere vix audebat.

John de Mowbray, Roger de Clifford, and other nobles captured with him were unjustly hanged in various places in England. Indeed, King Edward himself took great delight in the vice of sodomy. He had an excessive affection for the aforementioned Peter de Gaveston and the two Hugh Despensers, who had been the instigators of the aforementioned evils. Fortune and favor seemed to be with him at all times. He hardly dared to confront his enemies in the field.
