Chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker of Swinbroke. Thus the noble Lord Edward, formerly king, patiently accepted the deprivation of the royal crown and his liberty for the love of Jesus Christ, the poor crucified one. He remained with his kinsman, Henry, Earl of Leicester, needing nothing more than what was fitting for a recluse, living almost monastically. In the depths of his misfortune, this servant of God lamented nothing, except that his wife, whom he could not help but love, refused to see him. He had lived bereft of her embrace for more than a year, and she did not allow their son, the new king, nor any of their children, to offer him the comfort of their presence. How many tender laments did he utter in a soft voice, like a second Orpheus, but in vain. How often did he weep, mourning aloud, that one so noble and so endowed by nature with beauty could become embittered with the gall of betrayal. When others listened to him, he did not keep silent under oath, declaring that after first seeing her, he had never been able to love another woman. The love of this suffering man, his patience in all other misfortunes, so moved the earl his keeper and all their household, that they could not keep from informing his wife of the noble knight's lingering affection. But she, not moved by love but stirred by fury, the iron virago, began in secret thought to fear1 that the Church, accustomed to showing mercy to the wretched, might someday compel her to take back her rejected husband to her marriage bed. For she reasoned that even stronger men, indifferent or innocent of pity, might be turned to mercy by the sight of his suffering. And indeed, he had, through the endurance of his trials and the rich fragrance of every virtue, already won the pity of many who once were his enemies, whom she herself had appointed as his keepers.
Itaque generosus dominus Edwardus, quondam rex, regie corone atque libertatis privacionem pro amore Iesu Christi pauperis crucifixi pacienter admittens, cum suo consanguineco comite Leicestrie Henrico mansit, nullo egens quo reclusus et quasi monasticus indigebat. Nullum infortunium in ima depressus deplanxit Dei servus, nisi quod uxor sua, quam non potuit non amare, nolebat ipsum videre, cuius amplexibus plus quam per annum vixit viduatus, et quod nec illa permisit filium suum novum regem aut aliquem suorum liberorum sibi presenciale solacium prebere. Quot amorosa teleumata voce submissa tamquam alter Orfeus concinuit, set incassum Haa quociens deflevit querulus quod tam generosa et tot nature dotibus tam speciosa potuit prodicionis amaricari felle Auscultantibus quandoque non siluit sub iuramento quod, postquam primo vidit illam, nunquam aliam mulicrem potuit amare. Amor languentis, in ceteris adversis paciencia, comitem custodem et omnes illorum familiares ad miseracionem tantam provocarunt, quod generosi militis amorem languidum uxoris sue cordi duriori incude adamantino non dimiserunt nunciare. Unde, non amore mota set furore commota, ferrea virago secreto cogitatu cepit expavescere, ne unquam per ecclesiam, miseris consuetam misereri, foret compulsa viro repudiato iterum impertire torum. Excogitavit enim quod a forciori homines indifferentes et pietatis alumnos in sui miseracionem provocaret, qui suos inimicos, quos ipsa supra ministros ordinavit, per adversitatum tolleranciam et omnium virtutum uberem fragranciam ad pietatem sui inclinavit.
Note 1. One of the charges to which Orleton answered in his apology was that the queen was prevented from returning to her husband through his influence. Scriptores 10.2766-8: "As to the third charge, which is falsely alleged. The said libel claims that, through my false and deceitful preaching and assertions, I instilled such fear in the Lady Queen, the mother of our lord the king, while she was at Wallingford, that she did not dare approach her husband, the aforesaid king; and that, as a result, the good of the marriage, both in terms of the procreation of offspring and of mutual fidelity and the sacrament, was impeded. In reply, I say and assert that when the said Queen Isabella was staying at Wallingford with her son, our present lord the king, and heard certain criticisms concerning the fact that she had not gone to her husband in person, she took counsel with deliberate intent. With the advice of the reverend fathers of blessed memory, Walter, then Archbishop of Canterbury, John, then Bishop of Winchester, now Archbishop-elect of Canterbury, William, Bishop of Norwich; and the noble lords the Earls of Lancaster, Kent, and other nobles of her council, at which I myself, then Bishop of Hereford, was present, it was enjoined upon me to publicly state certain specific reasons by which the queen could justly fear the cruelty of the said king, which she had frequently experienced. I was to defend her against such slanders and accusations. This I did, in accordance with the information given to me, in the presence of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the nobles named above, adding nothing of my own, and omitting nothing that had been instructed. Furthermore, while I was outside the kingdom of England, the said Lady Queen, because of continued criticism, caused a great assembly to be held at Stamford [23–24 April 1327], summoning the same bishops and nobles, along with many other prelates, earls, barons, and nobles of the realm, in great number. There, after careful discussion, it was unanimously agreed and advised to the said Lady Queen that under no circumstances should she be permitted to approach the said king, even though she had offered herself ready and willing to do so, if it could be done in safety. All these things are so public and well known throughout the kingdom of England that there is no room for denial. From this, it is manifestly clear how false and malicious are the inventions and fabrications of those things contained in the third part of the said appeal or scandalous libel. Moreover, the aforesaid Lady Queen, long before the said sermon [of Bishop Orleton], while she was still in France, had a just fear of the cruelty of the king, her husband, as is evident from a letter sent on this matter to the late reverend father Lord W[alter], by the grace of God, Archbishop of Canterbury, of blessed memory, containing the following: 'Reverend father in God, we have carefully read your letter, in which you request that we return to the company of our most dear lord and husband, and you inform us that Sir Hugh le Despenser is not our enemy, but rather wishes us well, as you say. Of this we greatly marvel, for neither you nor anyone of sound understanding ought to believe that we would leave the company of our said lord without very great and reasonable cause. And if it were not to avoid danger to our person, and out of fear of the said Hugh, who had the governance of our said lord and of the whole realm, and who sought to dishonour us to the utmost of his power, as we are certain, and have well proven, though we long dissembled it to avoid danger. Indeed, we desire above all things, after God and the salvation of our soul, to be in the company of our said lord, to live and die in it. Therefore, we beg you as much as we can that you excuse us for not being able to do what you request in this matter, for we cannot in any way return to the company of our said lord without putting ourselves in danger of death, of which we are in such great peril that we cannot even write more fully." Given at Paris, Wednesday after Candlemas [5th February 1326].
It has already been seen, from Dene's account, that Orleton declared in the parliament of the 7th January that the queen would be murdered by her husband, if she returned to him. In the judgement passed upon Mortimer in the parliament of November 1330, one of the charges was [Parliament Rolls, 2.53.]: "The said Roger [de Mortimer], falsely and maliciously, sowed discord between our lord the king's father and the queen his wife, and made her believe that, if she were to come to him, he would kill her with a knife or murder her in some other way. Because of this, and by his other deceits, he caused the said queen never to come to her said lord, to the great dishonour of the king and of the queen his mother, and to the great harm of the entire realm, with consequences that may arise in time to come, God forbid."
A touching passage of the Brute chronicle (Harley MS. 2279) may also here be quoted: "And this Edwarde of Carnarvon was in the castel of Barkelegh, under the kepyng of sir Morice of Berkelee and of sir John of Mautravers; and to hem he made his compleynt of his sorowe and his disease. And ofte tymes he axede of his wardeyns what he had trespassed ayens dame Isabelle his wife and sir Edward his sone, that was newe made kyng, that thei wolde noujte visite him. Tho answerde on of his wardeynes: 'Mi worthi lorde, displese yow noughte that I shalle yow telle the incheson is, for hit is done hem to understonde that if my ladie your wife come eny thing nygh yow that ye wolde hire strangle and quelle; and also that ye wolde done to my lorde youre sone.' Then answerde he with simple chere and seide: 'Alas! alas! Am I nought in prison and alle atte youre owene wille? Now God hit wote, I thoujte hit never; and now I wolde that I were dede, so wolde God that I were, for than were alle my sorowe passede.'"

Chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker of Swinbroke. In this year, after the feast of Saint Martin, there assembled at Calais1 the Bishop of Norwich, the Earl of Lancaster, the Earl of Suffolk, and Lord Walter Mauny on the part of the English; and on the part of the French, the Bishop of Lyon, the Duke of Bourbon, the Duke of Dauphiné, the Count of Guînes, the Lord of Tancarville, and Lord Geoffrey de Charny, for the purpose of renewing the truces. But the Earl of Lancaster refused to give his assent until two fortifications at Calais, which were harmful and built contrary to the terms of the previous truces, had been demolished. Once that had been done, the truces were renewed, set to last until the first day of December of the following year.
Isto anno, post festum sancti Martini, convenerunt apud Calesiam episcopus Norwycensis, comes Lancastrie, comes Suthfolchie, et dominus Walterus Magne, ex parte Anglorum; item, episcopus Lugdunensis, dux de Burbone et dux Dactenes et comes de Gynes et dominus de Tankerville et dominus Galfridus de Charny, ex parte Francorum, pro treugis renovandis; quibus noluit comes Lancastrie assentire, quousque duo fortalicia Calesie nociva et contra formam pristinarum treugarum edificata fuerant diruta.

The prolongation of the truce to the 1st September (not December) of the following year was agreed to on the 13th November. Rymer's Fœdera 3.173, 177.
