NOTE III.
VI. 11–27. In the edition of 1619 this passage is so much altered that it is necessary to give it at full: ‘The second was _William_ of _Hatfield_, Who dyed young. The third was _Lyonell_, Duke of _Clarence_. The fourth was _Iohn of Gaunt_, The Duke of _Lancaster_. The fift was _Edmund of Langley_, Duke of Yorke. The sixt was _William of Windsore_, Who dyed young. The seauenth and last was Sir _Thomas of Woodstocke_, Duke of _Yorke_. Now _Edward_ the blacke Prince dyed before his Father, leauing behinde him two sonnes, _Edward_ borne at _Angolesme_, who died young, and _Richard_ that was after crowned King, by the name of _Richard_ the second, who dyed without an heyre. Lyonell Duke of Clarence dyed, and left him one only daughter, named _Phillip_, who was married to Edmund Mortimer earle of March and Vlster: and so by her I claime the Crowne, as the true heire to Lyonell Duke of Clarence, third sonne to Edward the third.’
