Rehudybras Rex fecit Wyntonium & Canterburium & Schefton̄.

After Lleyl regned Rehudybras;
To iustice þe folk, fol wys he was;
He acorded al his barons
Pees to holde, & made hem somons;
He made Wyncestre & Canterbyre,
& þe castel of Chestebury;
A whileon spak þanne, & prophesied,
Bot som men seide þat he lyed.
