" In this year King Edward was married to Queen Philippa, and came to Leicester. But the Kingdom was yet in the hands of Isabella the Queen Mother, and she ruled over the land in her son's name. Then the Barons rose against the Queen, for that she was herself ruled by her paramour Mortimer. And the Earl of Leicester as the Guardian of the King's person, withstood the power of Mor- timer, but in vain, for the young King remained with his mother. Then the Earl of Leicester joined himself to the K...ing's uncles the Earl of Kent, and the Earl of Norfolk ; but the power of the Queen pre- vailed against them. And in this year the King's uncle, the Earl Ann. Dom. 188. 1330. Ann. Dom. 28 Chronicles of the Castle 1333. 1335. of Kent, became prisoner to the Queen, and he was put to death. And the Earl of Leicester became prisoner also, and to save his life he paid a heavy ransom to Mortimer and the Queen. And the land was ruled by Mortimer and the Queen, even as it had been in the days of Hugh Despenser.
