Now the executors of this heinous act were two brothers german; who, being examined upon what motion they committed this act, were able to answer nothing else save that they were angered with the king and made his enemies for this cause, that he was wont to shew overmuch clemency to his enemies and meekly to let be offences done by them, when presently they entreated him.
