Westminster Chronicle. On the feast of the virgin Milburga [23rd February 1382], the council of London, together with the mayor of the same city and some men from every craft, came to the king, who was then staying at the manor of Kennington, concerning the charter of their liberty. Their number was about six hundred. They begged the royal majesty to ratify the liberties and privileges which had previously been granted to them. They further requested that they should have one king only, declaring that they wished to be subject to one alone. For this reason the duke of Lancaster [John of Gaunt], taking fright, fled from the city on the following day, namely on the feast of Saint Matthias the Apostle [24th February 1382], around the ninth hour, with the greatest haste, having first obtained permission from the king. Around this time ambassadors came from Calais, namely Lord John Cobham [aged 61] and the bishop of Hereford [John Gilbert], bringing with them a certain conditional agreement between the English and the French. Having received answers, they returned. At the same time ten ships laden with various provisions, which had been sent towards the castle of Cherbourg by the Normans, were captured, along with two other ships near Calais, laden with wool. The aforesaid ambassadors came and made known the brief answers of the French in a council held at Westminster on the morrow [26th March 1382] of the Annunciation of the Blessed Mary. To this council the abbot of Westminster and other priors of London had been summoned by royal letters.
In festo Milburgæ virginis senatus Londoniensis una cum majore ejusdem civitatis et aliquibus de quocunque artificio pro carta suæ libertatis venerunt ad regem in manerio de Kenyngton tunc moram trahentem. Numerus corum erat quasi sexcenti. Regiam majestatem deprecabantur quatinus libertates et privilegia quæ antea sibi concessa fuerant ipse ratificaret. Postulantes insuper ut unum solum haberent regem, asserentes se sub uno tantum subesse velle. Quare dux Lancastriæ pavescens in crastino, videlicet in die sancti Mathiæ apostoli, circa horam nonam a civitate summa cum festinatione diffugit, primitus a rege obtenta licentia. Circa ista tempora venerunt de Calesia ambassiatores, id est, dominus Johannes Cobham et episcopus Herefordensis quandam conditionalem concordiam secum afferentes inter Anglos et Francos, habitisque responsis redierunt. Eodem tempore captæ fuerunt decem naves diversis victualibus onustæ quæ directæ fuerant versus castrum de Chirebourgh per Normannos et aliæ duæ naves juxta Calesiam lanis onustæ. Venerunt ambassiatores præfati et succincta Gallorum responsa manifestaverunt in ‘concilio celebrato apud Westmonasterium in crastino Annunciationis beatæ Mariæ, ad quod vocati fuerunt per regias literas abbas Westmonasterii et alii priores de London.

Annals of King Richard II. In the year of grace 1398, and the twenty-second year of the reign of King Richard, the same King kept Christmas solemnly at Lichfield. When this was over, he moved to Shrewsbury, where the interrupted Parliament was begun again. Lord Cobham1 was brought forward to answer, and was condemned, but by indulgence his life was granted to him, against his will, because he gladly wished to have died in the cause laid against him, declaring that he would then have been most happy if it had happened that he ended his life by the sword for justice or innocence. For it was objected against him that, after the Parliament held in the eleventh year of the present King, he had undertaken, with others, the charge of governing the King, who at that time, and a little before, had had the worst governors. And because the King had now declared that deed to have been against his will, by his unreasonable little arguments he wished to prove the said lord a traitor. He was condemned to perpetual imprisonment and sent to the island of Guernsey, with a very meagre allowance assigned to him by the King, just as had previously been assigned to the Earl of Warwick. Yet afterwards the King fulfilled his promise to neither of them.
Anno gratiæ millesimo trecentesimo nonagesimo octavo, et regni Regis Ricardi vicesimo secundo, tenuit idem Rex Natale solemniter apud Lichefeld; quo peracto, transtulit se Solopiam, ubi Parliamentum interruptum reincipitur. Dominus Cobham responsis adducitur, et damnatur, sed indulgentia vita sibi donatur; invito, quia libenter voluit in causa sibi objecta fuisse mortuus, affirmans se tunc futurum felicissimum, si pro justitia vel innocentia contigerit eum [gladio] vitam finisse. Objiciebatur nempe sibi, quod post Parliamentum tentum anno Regis nune undecimo, cepisset curam, cum aliis, ad regendum Regem, qui pro tunc, et parum ante, habuerat pessimos gubernatores. Et quia jam declaraverat illud factum contra voluntatem suam, suis irrationabilibus ratiuneulis probare voluit dictum dominum proditorem. Condemnatus est perpetuo carceri, et missus ad insulam de Gerneseye, assignato sibi per Regem victu exilissimo, sicut prius assignatus [fuit] Comiti de Warwico; sed tamen Rex neutri eorum postes satisfecit in promisso.
