November 1462. In the same year, in the month of November, King Henry, Queen Margaret, the Duke of Somerset, the Duke of Exeter, and many others who had been expelled and driven out of England, recruited many foreigners—Frenchmen, Scots, and others— to invade English territory against King Edward IV. And the said Queen Margaret seized the castle of Alnwick, and was besieged in Bamburgh Castle [Map]. And when 200 Englishmen had entered a small island in those parts (to use it as a place of refuge if needed), without their knowing, 400 French soldiers arrived to surround and capture them, and suddenly attacked the English. But 200 or more of the French were captured or killed, and the others fled, as it is said.
Eodem anno in mense Novembris Rex Henricus, Regina Margareta, dux de Somershed et dux Excestrie, et plures alii ab Anglia expulsi et fugati, conduxerunt plures alienigenas, Galileos, Scotos et alios, ad ingrediendum partes Anglicanas contra Regem Edwardum iiijtum; et Regina Margareta predicta cepit castrum de Anwyk et obsessa erat in castro de Banburw. Et cum CC Anglici intrassent quandam parvam insulam in illis partibus ad succurrendum se si necesse fuisset, ipsis nescientibus, advenerunt CCCC de Francigenis ad eos includendos et capiendos, et subito in Anglicos irruerunt; sed capti et interfecti erant ex Francigenis CC et plures, et alii fugierunt ut dicitur.
