coroner of the king's household that he had made alliance on both sides of the
sea to assemble a force of men-at-arms to the defeasance of the king's estate
and royal dignity, contrary to his homage, fealty, and allegiance, falsely
pretending that Edward II., at whose interment he was present with other
magnates of the realm, was alive, and the king, when these things were
shewn to him, sent to Edmund earls, barons, and other magnates and nobles
of the realm, before whom he put into writing and acknowledged the said
treason and wickedness, wherefore, by the assent of the said earls, barons,
and other magnates and nobles in the said parliament, the earl was adjudged
to death by their award as a traitor to the king and to the realm: the king
orders the sheriff to cause to be published the earl's death for his treason
and wickedness aforesaid, and if he find anyone saying privily or openly that
