Rex vero, profectus Eboracum, tenuit parliamentum, die Lune in secunda ebdomada Quadragesime incoatum; ad quod rex Scocie conquestor, licet invitatus, non accessit, set misit pro ipso excusatores solempnes, scilicet Henricum de Bello monte et Willelmum de Monte acuto comites, et quosdam alios barones et milites, qui nunciarunt regi Edwardum predictum Scocie conquestorem non sine grandi periculo atque resistencia contra Scotos in insulis latitantes ad eius presenciam posse accedere.
