Note (41) — Chapter II
Reading edition
For the Londoners at Lewes let us take the account of an enemy. Thomas Wykes [148] tells us how the Earl set out, “glorians in virtute sua congregata baronum multitudine copiosa, Londoniensium innumerabili agmine circumcinctus, quia legitur stultorum infinitus est numerus.” Presently we read how the “Londoniensium innumera multitudo, bellorum ignara,” were put to flight by the Lord Edward very much after the manner of Prince Rupert.
