kynge
of
Pulle
and
Calabre
in
Naples
and
Cecile
.
and
whan
she
hath
possession
of
these
/
than
Prouence
shall
obeye
her
/
as
reason
requyreth
.
In
those
matchesse
there
made
warre
for
the
erle
/
Sir
Charles
dela
Pa●●e
/
the
erle
Conuersaunt
/
and
sir
Iohan
of
Luzenbourge
his
sonne
.
And
with
me
quene
at
Auignon
as
chefe
of
her
counsayle
was
sir
Iohan
of
Baylleule
.
IN
the
same
season
there
fell
in
Lombardye
a
marueylous
insydence
/
which
was
moche
spoken
of
/
throughe
out
all
the
worlde
.
and
that
was
of
the
Erle
of
Vertus
/
called
sir
Galeas
/
and
of
his
brother
sir
Barnabo
/
the
grettest
in
all
Lombardy
.
They
had
raygned
longe
and
gouerned
all
Lombardy
lyke
two
bretherne
.
The
one
of
them
ruled
nyne
cyties
and
the
otehr
tenne
.
&
the
cyte
of
Millayne
was
gouerned
one
yet
by
the
one
&
thother
yere
by
the
other
.
Whan
sir
Galeas
dyed
/
he
left
behynde
hym
a
sonne
/
who
was
than
erle
of
Vertus
/
&
named
like
his
father
sir
Galeas
/
but
than
swaged
the
loue
bitwene
him
and
sir
Barnabo
his
vncle
/
for
than
sir
Galeas
doughted
hym
of
sir
Barnabo
his
/
vncle
leest
that
he
wolde
take
away
his
landes
fro
him
/
lyke
as
he
dyde
fro
his
father
.
For
his
vncle
of
olde
tyme
toke
awaye
the
lande
fro
their
brother
sir
Mauffe
/
and
caused
him
to
dye
.
So
thus
th
erle
of
Vertus
douted
hym
greatly
of
his
vncle
.
howe
be
it
he
wrought
subtelly
to
bringe
hym selfe
insuretie
/
I
shall
shewe
you
howe
.
Sir
Barnabo
had
in
vsage
/
that
all
suche
landes
as
he
had
rule
of
/
he
raunsomed
them
so
greuously
and
wolde
taxe
the
men
two
or
thre
tymes
in
a
yere
/
to
paye
the
halfe
or
thirde
parte
of
their
goodes
/
and
none
durst
saye
agaynst
hym
for
feare
.
And
sir
Galeas
erle
of
Vertus
dyde
otherwyse
/
for
the
entent
to
gete
loue
he
toke
none
ayde
of
his
men
/
but
lyued
all
onely
by
his
reuenewes
/
And
that
rule
he
kept
a
fyue
yere
after
the
dethe
of
his
father
/
so
that
he
had
the
loue
of
all
Lombardy
/
and
euery
man
said
/
they
wolde
be
gladde
to
lyue
vnder
hym
.
And
euery
man
spake
yuell
of
ser
Barnabo
priuely
as
they
durst
/
bycause
he
toke
so
excessyuely
of
them
.
So
finally
the
Erle
of
Vertus
thought
to
execute
his
entent
/
as
he
that
doughted
greatly
his
vncle
/
and
as
it
was
sayde
/
he
sawe
some
lykelyhode
.
On
a
day
he
sente
secretely
for
suche
as
he
trusted
best
/
And
to
some
he
shewed
his
entent
/
but
nat
to
all
/
for
feare
that
his
purpose
shulde
be
knowen
.
And
so
it
fortuned
/
that
sir
Barnabo
on
a
daye
rode
forthe
fro
one
Castell
to
another
to
sporte
hym
.
The
erle
of
Vertus
his
nephewe
knewe
therof
and
layde
for
hym
thre
busshemeutes
/
to
the
entent
that
his
vncle
shulde
nat
scape
/
for
he
must
nedes
at
least
passe
by
one
of
them
.
The
erle
commaunded
to
take
hym
but
nat
to
slee
him
/
without
he
made
great
defence
.
So
as
sir
Barnabo
roode
forthe
and
thought
none
yuell
/
nor
was
in
no
feare
of
his
nephewe
/
So
he
fell
in
the
daunger
of
one
of
the
busshmentes
/
the
whiche
opyned
and
approched
hym
with
their
speres
couched
in
the
rest
.
sir
Barnabo
had
with
hym
a
squyer
of
Almaygne
/
who
came
to
hym
and
sayd
.
Sir
/
saue
your selfe
/
for
yonder
company
maketh
but
yuell
countenaunce
agaynst
you
/
they
are
parteyning
to
youre
nephewe
sir
Galeas
/
Sir
Barnabo
aunswered
/
I
knowe
nat
howe
to
saue
my selfe
/
if
they
owe
me
any
yuell
wyll
/
But
I
haue
done
no
trespasse
to
my
nephue
/
wherby
that
I
ought
to
flye
awaye
.
so
alwayes
they
of
the
busshement
drewe
nerer
&
nerer
streight
vpon
hym
.
There
was
a
knight
of
Almaygne
with
sir
Barnabo
/
and
whan
he
sawe
this
company
approche
towarde
his
maister
:
He
had
sir
Barnabos
swerde
in
his
hande
and
drewe
it
oute
of
the
sheth
/
and
tooke
it
his
maister
and
sayd
.
Sir
/
defende
your selfe
/
and
than
the
knight
drewe
out
his
owne
swerde
lyke
a
valyant
man
to
stande
at
his
defence
/
how
be
it
all
aueyled
hym
no
thyng
/
For
incontynent
he
was
enuyroned
/
and
his
mayster
also
with
their
ennemyes
.
and
the
sayd
knight
was
the●
slayne
/
bycause
he
putte
hym selfe
to
defence
/
wherof
sir
Galeas
was
afterwarde
ryght
sore
displeased
.
So
sir
Barnabo
was
there
taken
for
he
made
no
defence
/
nor
none
of
his
men
/
&
so
he
was
brought
to
a
castell
whe●
his
nephue
was
/
who
was
gladde
of
his
comynge
.
The
same
day
ser
Barnabos
wyfe
and
chyldren
were
taken
/
who
were
to
mary
/
and
they
were
kepte
in
Myllayne
in
prison
.
Than
sir
Galeas
toke
all
the
seignories
/
townes
and
castels
/
that
parteyned
to
sir
Barnabo
in
all
Lombardy
to
his
possessyon
:
and
his
vncle
dyed
I
can
nat
saye
howe
.
I
thynke
he
was
lette
blode
in
the
necke
accordynge
to
the
blode
lettyng
in
Lombardy
whan
they
wyll
auaunce
a
mannes
ende
.
Anone
these
tidynges
sprang
abrode
/
some
were
glad
therof
and
some
were
sorte
.
For
this
sir
Barnabo
hadde
done
in
his
tyme
/
many
cruell
and
horryble
dedes
/
and
pytuous
iustyce
withoute
reason
/
so
that
but
fewe
people
complayned
his
trouble
/
but
sayde
/
He
hadde
well
deserued
it
.
thus
ended
sir
Barnabo
/
who
had
in
his
dayes
raygned
puissauntly
in
Lombardy
.
¶
Nowe
lette
vs
retourne

the
duke
of
Burbons
and
the
Erle
of
Marchesse
army
/
&
what
they
dyde

.
THey
depted

And
the

The

Rouergue
/
Xaynton
/
and
Lymosyn
/
And
they
met
togider
at
Nyorte
/
a
.xii.
leages
fro
Poicters
.
In
this
meane
season
sir
Wyllm
of
Lynacke
/
a
right
valyant
knyght
seneschall
of
Xaynton
/
who
was
as
than
gouernoure
of
Myllayne
(
in
those
marchesse
)
and
so
he
came
in
to
Angoulinoys
/
with
a
certayne
nombre
of
men
of
armes
/
a
two
hundred
:
He
rested
before
the
castell
of
the
Egle
/
in
the
whiche
were
Englishemen
.
And
all
the
wynter
and
somer
past
before
had
greatly
domaged
the
countre
.
than
this
sir
Wyllyam
lyghted
a
fote
/
and
so
dyd
all
his
company
/
and
valyantly
assayled
the
castell
.
It
was
a
sore
assaute
and
well
contynued
/
for
they
within
defended
them selfe
for
feare
of
their
lyues
.
Sir
Wylliam
hym selfe
that
day
dyde
right
nobly
/
and
gaue
ensample
howe
his
men
shulde
assayle
withoute
any
sparynge
.
This
assaut
was
so
well
contynued
/
that
the
Castell
was
taken
byforce
:
the
Frenche
men
entred
in
by
ladders
/
&
all
that
were
within
slayne
and
taken
.
Thus
this
sir
Wylliam
of
Lygnac
dyde
the
first
enterprise
in
that
season
/
abydinge
for
the
duke
of
Burbone

wHan
the

was

/
and
his
company
:
There
he
founde
a
great
nombre
of
men
of

/
abydinge
for

.
And
there
was
redy

/
and

/
the

/
and
dyuers
other

And
than

who
had

/
wherfore

Whan

/
they

hundred
speares
besyde
the
Geneuoys
and
other

:
They
were
in
nombre
two
thousande
fightynge
men
.
Thasie
they
toke
aduyse
whyder
they
shulde
go
/
outher
to
Vertuell
or
to
Taylboure
or
to
Mountlewe
.
And
all
thynges
consydered
/
they
determyned
to
go
to
Mountlewe
/
by
cause
it
was
a
castell
/
standyng
on
the
laundes
of

.
They
thought
if
they
might
get
that
castell●
all
other
shulde
be
the
more
easyer
to
wynne
.
And
also
/
than
shulde
no

so

.
The

Surely

and
many
a

/
For
the
frenchmen
dilygently
mounted
vp
on
their
ladders
/
and
fought
with
daggers
hande

on
the
walles
.
So
moche
dyde
the
frenche

that
by
pure
assaute
they
wan

and
they

/
There

And

These

Howe
the

was
wonne
by
the
frenche
men

howe
the
Englysshe
men
fortifyed
themselfe
against
the

And
howe

of

and
his

arryued
at

in

Cap.
secundo
.
THus
the
siege
was
layd
before
Tailbourcke
by
four
bastedes
▪
there
was
in
Tail
bourcke
a
bridge
on
the
ryuer
of
Charent
/
and
the
Englysshe
men
and
Gascoyns
had
well
fortifyed
it
/
so
that
all
the
season
before
they
coude
no
shyppe
passe
to
Rochell
nor
in
to
Xaynton
/
without
daunger
or
by
truage
.
Than
the
frenche
lordes
aduysed
to
wynne
the
bridge
to
haue
the
lesse
to
do
/
and
to
lye
the
more
surer
in
their
bastydes
.
They
caused
to
come
to
Rochellshippes
by
the
ryuer
of
Charent
/
and
in
theym
certayne
Geneuoys
and
crosbowes
/
and
made
them
to
scrymysshe
with
them
of
the
bridge
.
There
was
a
sore
assaute
/
for
the
Englysshe
men
and
gascons
had
ryght
well
fortifyed
the
bridge
/
and
valyantly
dyde
defende
themselve
/
So
they
were
assayled
by
lande
and
by
ryuer
.
¶
Iohan
the
sonne
of
the
erle
of
Harcourt
was
there
made
knight
and
reysed
his
baner
/
the
duke
of
Burbone
his
vncle
made
him
knight
.
This
assault
was
well
continued
/
and
many
a
feate
of
armes
the●
done
the
Geneuoys
and
crosbowes
that
were
in
the
shyppes
shotte
so
rudely
and
so
hole
toguyder
at
them
on
the
bridge
/
that
none
of
them
durste
scantely
shewe
any
defence
.
What
shulde
I
make
longe
tale
?
By
force
of
assault
the
bridge
on
the
ryuer
was
wonne
/
and
all
that
were
founde
theron
slayne
and
drowned
/
none
scaped
.
thus
the
french
men
had
the
bridge
of
Taylbourc
/
their
siege
was
the
easyer
.
It
was
but
thre
leages
fro
faynt
Iohnns
Dangle
/
and
two
leages
fro
Xauntes
/
in
the
best
countre
of
the
worlde
.
OF
the
losse
of
Tayllebourke
/
they
within
Dynaudon
&
other
were
sore
dismayed
/
as
they
had
good
cause
/
for
they
had
lost
therby
the
passage
of
the
ryuer
/
howe
be
it
yet
they
wolde
nat
yelde
them
.
They
thought
themselve
in
a
stronge
place
/
and
trusted
on
some
rescue
fro
Burdeaux
/
For
it
was
shewed
in
all
those
fronters
and
englysshe
forteresses
/
that
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
or

two
thousande
men
of

four
thousande

/
shulde

Burdeaux
to
fyght
with
the
frenche
men
/
and
to
reyse
all
their
siege
.
Of
this
they
greatly
trusted
/
but
it
fortuned
otherwyse
/
as
I
shall
shewe
you
.
It
was
ordayned
in
Englande

and
Languedocke

and
to

Frenche

And
after

For

This

of
Fraunce
/
with
a
thousande
speares
of

were

.
Than
they
chaunged
their
purpose
/
and
durst
sende
none
of
their

the
realme
/
for
they
doughted
greatly
the

of

/
ioyned

.
Also

And

The

and
so
a
longe

Scesyde
to
saynt
Valeries
and
to
Crotoy
:
And
the
thirde
by
the
Scottes
so
that
for
dought
of
this
/
they
wolde
suffre
no
knightes
nor
squyers
to
go
out
of
Englande
/
but
made
prouisyon
to
defende
their
hauyns
&
portes
of

The

season
the
Erle
of
Arundell
Richarde

And

¶
Nowe

&
let

howe
the
admyrall
of
Fraunce
toke
lande
in
the
realme
of
Scotlande
/
and
what
chere
they
had
made
to
them
at
their
firste
lodgynge
.
tHe
Frenche
army
that
went
in
to
scotlande
had
wynde
at
wyll
.
It
was
in
the
monethe
of
Maye
/
whan
the
waters

peaseable
and

and
the
ayre
softe

First
they
costed
Flanders
/
Holande

and
at

But

to
a
yonge
knyght
of
Fraunce
a
proper
man
of

called

Dāgyers
.
The
knyght
was
yong
and
of
haute
courage
/
and
to
shewe
his
strength
and
lyghtnesse
of

/
he
lepte

clene
armed
on
the
walle
of
the
shyppe

and
in
the
lightynge
/
his
fete
slypped
/
and
so
fell
ouer
the
borde
in
to
the
see
/
so
that
he
coulde
nat
be
holpen
:
For
incontynent
he
sanke
downe
/
bycause
of
the
weight
of
his
harnes
/
&
also
the
ship
sayled
euer
forthe

Of
this
knightes
aduenture
/
all
the
barownes
and
knyghtes
were
sore
dyspleased
/
but
there
was
no
remedy
.
And
so
longe
they
sayled
that
they
arryued
at
Edenborowe

.
And

Sayeng

And
the

sir
Geffray
acquaynted
them

the
Admyrall

As

lyke
rude
people

All

consydered

It
was
to
great
an
armye
of
so
many
noble
men
to
come
in

Scotlande

knewe
no

a

the

is
this
.
¶
In

They

Sawe

The

The

We

THus
sir
Iohan
of
Vien
admyrall
of
Fraunce
/
apeased
to
his
companyons
/
with
these
wordes
and
suche
other
/
whiche
I
can
nat
all
reherce
They
acquaynted
them
as
mothe
as
they
might
with
the
barownes
of
Scotlande
/
but
they
were
visyted
by
them
but
very
lytell
:
For
as
I
haue
sayde
before
/
there
is
in
them
lytell
honour
/
&
of
all
people
yuell
to
be
aquaynted
withall
.
The
moost
company
that
the
frenche
men
had
was
the
erle
Duglas
and
the
erle
Morette
.
These
two
lordes
dyde
theym
more
solace
/
than
all
the
resydue
of
Scotlande
.
yet
there
was
another
thyng
that
was
right
harde
to
the
frenchmen
/
For
whan
they
were
in
Scotlande
and
wolde
ryde
they
founde
horses
to
dere
for
that
that
was
nat
worthe
tenne
florens
they
coude
nat
bye
vnder
threscore
or
a
hundred
/
and
yet
with
moche
payne
to
gette
any
for
money
/
and
yet
whan
they
had
any
horses
/
than
hadde
they
nother
harnesse
/
sadell
/
nor
bridell
/
without
they
had
brought
it
with
them
out
of
Flaunders
.
In
this
trouble
and
daunger
were
the
frenchemen
:
yea
and
moreouer
/
Whanne
their
varlettes
went
forthe
a
forragynge
/
and
hadde
charged
their
horses
with
suche
as
they
coulde
gette
/
In
their
retouruynge
home
/
the
scottes
them selfe
laye
in
wayte
for
theym
/
and
all
that
they
had
taken
from
them
/
and
they
well
beten
and
some
slayne
:
so
that
there
was
none
that
durste
go
a
forragynge
for
feare
to
be
slayne
.
For
in
a
moneth
the
frenche
men
loste
of
their
varlettes
mo
than
a
hundred
:
For
if
they
went
forthe
thre
or
foure
toguyder
/
they
neuer
returned
agayne
.
Thus
the
frenche
men
were
handeled
:
And
besyde
that
/
the
kynge
of
Scottes
was
desyred
to
comeforthe
/
and
so
were
the
other
lordes
/
knightes
/
and
squyers
of
the
realme
.
But
they
aunswered
and
sayd
:
Howe
they
wolde
make
no
warre
in
to
Englande
/
as
at
that
tyme
.
And
that
they
sayd
/
to
th
entent
that
the
Frenche
men
shulde
paye
well
for
their
comyng
.
For
or
the
kyng
wolde
come
out
of
the
wylde
scottysshe
to
Edenboroughe
/
he
demaunded
to
haue
a
great
somme
of
money
/
for
hym
and
for
his
people
:
And
the
admyrall
of
Fraunce
was
sayne
to
promyse
and
to
seale
/
that
the
kynge
shulde
haue
a
certayne
somme
of
money
or
he
and
his
company
auoyded
the
Realme
:
It
he
had
nat
done
thus
/
he
shulde
haue
hadde
none
ayde
of
the
scottes
:
He
was
fayne
to
make
that
marchaundise
or
elles
a
worse
.
And
yet
whan
he
had
made
the
best
accorde
and
a●oyntment
that
he
coude
make
with
theym
/
he
hadde
by
them
but
lytell
profyte
nor
helpe
/
as
ye
shall
here
further
in
the
hystorie
.
¶
But
nowe
a
lytell
I
wyll
retourne
and
tell
of
the
aduentures
of
Flaunders
and
of
the
maryage
of
the
yonge
frenche
kyng
/
and
howe
Ardenbourcke
hadde
nere
been
taken
by
stelthe
/
where
as
the
Vycont
of
Meaulx
and
sir
Iohn
of
Ieumont
laye
in
garyson
.
AFter
the
disconfyture
that
sir
Ryflarte
of
Flaunders
had
made
in
the
lande
of
the
foure
craftes
with
out
Gaunt
/
than
he
came
to
Ardēbourcke
:
And
thyder
was
sente
in
garyson
sir
Robert
of
Bethune
vycount
of
Meaulx
/
and
there
he
founde
sir
Iohan
of
Iumont
and
his
company
:
And
thyder
was
sente
a
.xl.
speares
knightes
and
squiers
/
suche
as
desyred
to
seke
aduentures
.
Whanne
the
Vycount
was
come
thider
/
he
entended
to
fortify
and
repayre
the
towne
in
all
poyntes
.
Fraunces
Atreman
and
they
of
Gaunte
/
subtelly
ymagyned
night
and
day
/
howe
they
might
anoye
and
do
domage
to
their
enemyes
/
as
they
shewed
rightwell
to
their
neighbours
/
as
And
warp
/
Teremonde
Ardenbourcke
/
Bruges
/
Danne●
and
Scluse
.
They
euer
ymagined
/
howe
to
wynne
any
of
them
by
crafte
:
And
to
say
the
trouth
/
they
had
suche
company
as
were
mete
to
execute
suche
dedes
.
So
it
fortuned
/
about
the
ende
of
Maye
Fraunces
Atreman
and
a
seuyn
thousande
with
hym
departed
fro

:
And
specially
they
desyred

puttyng
out

So
thus
on

The

counsayled

And

This

shewed
many

this

the

of
all

And
howe
that

For

that
he
myght
well
breke
the
purposes

Howe
the

of

of
the
maryage
of
the
yonge
frenche
kynge
with
her
nese
Isabell
of

And
howe
the
duke

the
lady
came
to
Quesnoy

Cap.

WHan
that
duke
Frederyke
of
Bauier
came
first
in
to
France
to
serue
the
frenche
:
kyng
in
his
iourney
that
he
made
in
to
flaunders
/
and
came
to
the
siege
of
Boutbourcke
.
True
it
was
/
he
was
feested
and
receyued
by
the
kynges

bycause
he
was
come
so
farre

as
out
of

countre
of

/
the
whiche
was
more

two
hundred

This

reputed
for

he
was
alwayes
loged

to

in
token
of
good

And
whan
he
departed
out

surly

shulde
be

Frenche

in

Therfore
the

gaue

with

kyng
in

curtesly
demaunded

For
aunciently
the
buyers
were
of

counsayle
of

The
duke
aunswered
and
sayd
:
surely
I

Therfore
sir

whan
ye
do
retourne

speke
to
your

of
the
mater
:
&
bring
your

the

We

loueth
gladly
to

.
and
if
he

/
she

:
So
this
was
the
first
procurement
:
and
as
at
that
tyme
there
was
no
more
done
nor
sayde
.
The
kynge
knewe
no
thynge
of

wordes

And
whanne
this
duke
Federyke
of
Bauyer
was
retourned
home
/
he
shewed
all
this
mater
to
duke
Stephyn
of
Bauyer
his
brother
/
who
studyed
somewhat
at
his
wordes
/
and
at
last
sayd
:
Fayre
brother
/
I
beleue
well
it
is
as
ye
saye
.
My
doughter
shulde
be
happy
if
she
myght
come
to
so
highe
an
honour
/
as
to
be
frenche
quene
:
But
Fraunce
is
very
farre
of
/
and
it
is
a
matter
wisely
to
be
regarded
/
to
make
a
Quene
.
I
shulde
be
ryght
soore
displeased

if
my
doughter
shulde
be
caryed
in

suche
a

than
sente
home

yet
I
had
rather
mary

nerer

This
was
the
aunswere

gaue

with

was

aboute

And
the
kynge
was
nere
agreed
to
the
doughter

She

Therfore
the

hanged

It
was
done

so
wente
with

And
so
the
first
went
with
ladders
in

the
dykes

They
founde
no
withstandyng

passed
the
myre
and
dressed
vp
their
ladders
and
so
entred
in

the

came
to

sownynge

for

as

were
founde
in

at

were
slayne

Thus
the

was
taken

wherein
was
founde
great

the

full
of

AT
an

of

:
that
day
he
reared
vp
his

quytte
hym selfe

But
at
that
assaute
the
Frenche
men
loste
more
than
they
wanne
/
for
Fraunces
Atreman
had
with
hym
certayne
archers
of
Englande
/
who
greatly
greued
the
assaylantes
:
Also
he
had
great
plentie
of
artillary
/
for
whan
the
towne
was
wonne
it
was
well
furnyssed
:
And
also
he
caused
moche
to
be
brought
fro
Gaunt
/
whan
he
knewe
that
he
shulde
haue
siege
layde
to
the
towne
.
In
the
same
season
whyle
the
siege
laye
thus
before
Danne
/
some
of
the
greattest
of
the
towne
of
Sluse
/
suche
as
than
bare
moost
rule
in
the
towne
/
were
so
wrapped
with
treason
/
that
they
wolde
haue
deliuered
the
towne
to
the
kinges
enemyes
/
and
to
haue
murdred
their
capitayne
and
his
company
in
their
beddes
/
and
to
haue
set
fyre
in
the
kynges
nauy
/
that
lay
there
at
ancre
/
laded
with
prouisyon
for
the
kynge
.
Before
he
wente
to
Danne
/
he
was
in
purpose
to
haue
gone
in
to
Scotlande
after
his
admyrall
.
And
also
these
treators
had
thought
to
haue
broken
downe
the
see
bankes
/
therby
to
haue
drowned
the
greattest
parte
of
the
kyngis
hoost
/
Of
all
this
they
had
made
marchaundise
with
them
of
Gaunte
/
and
all
these
treasons
shuld
haue
ben
done
in
one
night
:
but
ther
was
a
good
man
in
the
towne
as
he
was
in
an
hostry
herde
all
this
treason
/
that
they
were
purposed
to
do
/
And
incontynent
he
went
to
the
capitayne
and
shewed
hym
the
mater
/
and
named
to
hym
certayne
of
them
that
had
thus
conspyred
the
treason
.
Whan
the
capitayne
herde
that
he
sore
marueyled
/
and
toke
a
threscore
speares
of
his
company
and
wente
fro
house
to
house
of
the
treatours
/
and
so
toke
and
sette
them
in
dyuers
prisons
in
sure
kepynge
.
Than
he
toke
his
horse
and
rode
to
the
kyng
and
so
came
to
his
tente
/
before
hym
and
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
:
he
shewed
all
the
mater
howe
the
towne
of
Sluse
was
likely
to
haue
ben
lost
/
and
all
the
kynges
host
likely
to
haue
been
in
the
water
to
the
brestes
/
wherof
the
kyng
and
the
lordes
had
great
marueyle
.
And
than
the
capitayne
was
commaunded
that
he
shulde
retourne
to
Sluse
/
and
incontynent
to
stryke
of
all
their
heedes
withoute
any
respyte
/
therby
all
other
to
take
ensample
.
So
the
capitayne
retourned
/
and
incontynent
strake
of
all
their
heedes
/
This
was
the
conclusion
of
that
busynesse
.
Than
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
cast
in
his
aduyse
to
fynde
some
meanes
to
entreat
his
cosyn
sir
William
of
Namure
/
to
haue
of
hym
the
towne
of
Sluse
by
exchaunge
for
other
landes
/
and
to
ioyne
that
towne
to
the
countie
of
Flaunders
.
And
this
was
moche
by
th
aduyse
of
sir
Guy
de
la
Tremoyle
/
who
had
the
sormer
before
soiourned
in
Sluse
with
a
certayne
nombre
of
men
of
warre
.
_wHan̄e
sir
Wylliam
of
Namure
herde
first
spekynge
of
that
matter
/
he
was
marueylously
displeased
:
for
the
towne
of
Sluse
/
with
the
apendauntes
and
profytes
of
the
see
was
a
fayre
and
a
profitable
herytage
/
&
it
was
fallen
to
him
by
his
auncestours
wherfore
he
loued
it
the
better
:
Howe
be
it
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
lay
so
sore
on
hym
therfore
that
there
was
no
remedy
/
but
to
make
the
exchaunge
:
For
the
dukes
entensyon
was
to
make
there
a
stronge
castell
/
to
subdue
all
comes
and
goers
by
the
see
entryng
in
to
the
hauen
of
Sluse
and
to
kepe
it
with
men
of
warre
/
so
that
none
shulde
entre
by
the
see
in
those
marchesse
/
without
their
daunger
/
and
to
make
a
towre
so
highe
to
se
troētie
leages
in
to
the
see
.
So
thus
breuely
this
sir
wylliam
of
Namure
was
so
sore
desyred
by
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
and
his
counsayle
/
that
he
was
contente
to
exchaunge
Sluse
for
the
landes
of
Bethune
/
whiche
is
a
fayre
and
a
great
herytage
in
that
countrey
/
he
to
haue
that
to
hym
and
to
his
heyres
for
euer
:
And
so
than
incontynent
the
duke
of
Burgoyn
sette
worke
men
a
worke
to
make
the
Castell
of
Sluse
.

And

I
wyll

his

euery

went
he
had
sayd
trouthe
.
Whan
he
had
ordayned
euery
thynge
accordynge
to
his
mynde
/
than
he
caused
a
gate
to
be
opyned
/
and
so
he
&
all
his
company
issued
out
/
&
he
was
nat
halfe
a
leage
fro
the
towne
but
it
was
day
light
.
Than
they
of
the
towne
parceyued
well
that
Fraunces
Atremen
and
all
his
company
were
gone
.
Than
they
thought
them selfe
desceyued
/
than
the
thefe
of
the
towne
began
to
entreate
with
the
men
of
the
kynges
/
that
were
there
as
prisoners
/
sayeng
to
theym
/
howe
they
had
slayne
Fraunces
Atreman
the
same
night
.
wHan
dyuers
of
the
towne
of
Dan
vnderstode
howe
Fraunces
Atreman
and
his
company
were
gone
/
and
howe
the
gate
was
opyn
/
they
ran
out
of
the
towne
that
best
might
:
&
whan
this
was
knowen
in
t
hoost
the
bretons
and
burgonyons
desyring
to
wyn
/
mounted
on
their
horses
and
fell
in
the
chase
/
&
pursued
the
gauntoise
tyll
they
came
within
two
leages
of
Gaunte
.
So
in
the
chase
there
were
many
slayne
and
taken
mo
than
fyue
hundred
/
but
of
them
were
but
fewe
gauntoise
/
but
moost
of
Danne
/
that
fledde
out
of
the
towne
.
In
the
meane
season
the
towne
was
assayled
/
where
was
made
no
defence
.
So
the
frenche
men
entred
on
euery
syde
by
ladders
/
and
had
passed
the
dykes
with
moche
payne
.
And
whan
they
were
within
/
they
had
wende
to
haue
won
gret
riches
/
but
they
founde
there
nothyng
but
poore
people
/
men
women
&
chyldren
/
and
great
plentie
of
good
wynes
/
and
so
for
dispyte
and
displeasure
they
sette
fyre
in
the
towne
/
so
that
it
was
nighe
all
brent
/
wherof
the
kynge
and
the
duke
of
Burgone
was
sore
displeased
/
but
they
coude
nat
amende
it
:
Howe
be
it
the
ladyes
&
gentyl
women
with
moche
payne
were
saued
fro
hurt
of
their
bodyes
or
losse
of
their
goods
.
AFter
the
takyng
of
Dan
/
the
kyng
was
counsayled
to
dissodge
and
so
the
king
went
and
lodged
a
two
leages
fro
Gaunte
/
at
a
towne
called
Artulle
/
and
whyles
the
kyng
lay
there
/
his
men
of
armes
rode
in
the
countrey
of
the
four
craftes
&
distroyed
all
the
countre
:
bycause
in
tyme
past
/
the
gauntoysehad
chiefe
confort
euer
fro

.
Therefore
they
brent
downe
towres
/
churches
/
and
houses
/
and
chased
the
men
women
/
and
chyldren
in
to
the
woodes
.
Whan
the
Frenchmen
had
done
that
distruction
/
than
it
was
ordayned
to
go
and
lay
siege
to
the
castell
of

and

of
Valoyes
.
These
tidynges
pleased
greatly
the
kynge
and
his

so
it
was
thought

In

wherof

but
out
of
Englande
there
came
to
them
great
plentie

bothe
by

Than
the

wherin
there
was
a

The

nat
be

yet
the

THe
entent
of

was
to
passe

for

they
knew
well

were

they
thought
to
enclose

bytwene
Englande

to
fight

at

This

The
Englyssh

spared
nother

set

.
And
so
they
of

ran
to

whiche
is
a

It

wylde
scottysshe
/
but
they
dyd
no
hurte
therto
/
howe
be
it
they
of
the
countrey
were
right
sore
afrayed
.
They
of
that
cytie
thought
to
haue
assaute
/
for
they
feared
leest
the
kynge
of
Englande
wolde
haue
come
thyder
/
and
haue
ouer
ron
all
that
countre
.
THus
in
lykewise
as
the
Englysshemen
dyde
in
Scotlande
/
so
dyd
the
frenche
men
and
scottes
in
Englande
/
in
the
marchesse
of
Northumberlande
and
Wales
.
&
they
brent
a
great
countre
as
they
went
out
of
Northumberlande
and
entred
in
to
Wales
/
whiche
was
otherwise
called
Wynslande
/
and
passed
by
the
landes
of
the
lordes
of
Graystocke
and
Clyfforde
/
and
brent
in
their
voyage
dyuers
great
villages
/
for
they
were
no
men
of
warre
in
that
countre
as
than
/
for
they
were
all
with
the
kyng
.
So
they
came
to
the
cyte
of
Catlyle
in
Wales
/
whiche
was
well
closed
with
gatis
/
walles
/
&
dykes
:
It
was
a
place
that
of
auncyent
tyme
kynge
Arthure
loued
rightwell
/
bycause
that
there
were
great
woodes
/
and
many
dedes
of
armes
there
was
done
.
There
laye
in
Carlyle
in
garison
sir
Lewes
Clyfforde
/
brother
to
sir
Wyllm
Neuell
/
and
with
hym
sir
Thomas
Mosgraue
and
Dauy
Holgraue
his
sonne
/
and
sir
Dongorsse
/
and
dyuers
other
of
the
marchesse
and
fronters
of
Wales
/
for
the
cytte
of
Carlyle
was
chiefe
cytie
of
all
that
countre
/
and
it
was
nede
full
for
good
men
of
warre
to
be
the●
:
for
whan
the
admyrall
of
Fraunce
came
thyder
he
assayled
the
cytie
by
great
force
/
the
whiche
assaute
was
cruell
and
fierse
.
So
thus
before
the
cytie
there
were
many
noble
dedes
of

done

THe

Than

For

And

that
I

thynge
otherwyse
than
well
to

or

/
here
is
my
guage
to
the
contrarie
.
So
there
was
none
that
wolde
speke
any
worde
:
And
the
kynge
helde
his
peace
and
spake
to
other
of
his
seruauntes
of
other
maters
/
and
orderyng
hymselfe
to
returne
into
Englande
the
same
way
that
he
came
/
and
the
duke
of
Lancastre
departed
fro
the
kynge
right
sore
troubled
in
his
mynde
/
and
returned
to
his
company
/
and
made
newe
ordynaunce
/
for
in
the
morning
they
had
thought
to
haue
folowed
the
frenchmen
in
to
the
marches
of
Wales
/
but
they
dyde
nat
so
for
they
retourned
the
next
waye
in
to
Englande
.
Lo
/
thus
ye
may
se
howe
th
etle
of
Oxenforde
who
was
great
with
the
kyng
brake
all
this
voyage
/
and
dyuers
of
the
great
lordes
/
sayd
that
the
kyng
was
yuell
counsayled
/
Seynge
/
that
all
the
prouisyon
was
come
/
For
they
sayd
they
might
well
haue
folowed
the
scottes
in
to
Wales
/
For
in
their
so
doyng
/
they
shulde
euer
haue
drawen
in
to
Englande
warde
.
And
some
persons
that
were
wery
of
payne
and
trauell
said
/
howe
that
all
thynges
considred
/
they
were
better
to
retourne
than
to
go
any
further
:
Sayeng
/
howe
a
great
ꝓuision
must
be
had
to
scrue
suche
an
host
/
&
howe
it
was
yuell
to
passe
the
mountayns
that
wynter
season
/
wherby
they
sayd
they
might
rather
lese
than
wynne
.
THus
in
his
season
brake
vp
the
iorney
and
army
of
Englande
:
and
the
kynge
and
his
lordes
retourned
in
to
Englande
/
the
same
way
they
came
/
but
they
hadde
distroyed
the
moost
parte
of
the
realme
of
Scotlande
.
These
tidynges
came
to
the
admyrall
of
Fraunce
and
to
the
scottes
/
than
they
tooke
counsayle
what
was
best
for
them
to
do
/
and
so
concluded
to
retourne
agayne
in
to
Scotlande
/
for
their
vitails
began
to
fayle
and
they
were
in
a
poore
countrey
/
for
they
had
distroyed
the
marches
of
Carlyle
/
and
the
landes
of
the
barone
of
Clyfforde
/
the
lorde
Maubray
/
and
the
bysshoprike
of
Carlyle
/
but
the
cytie
they
coude
nat
wynne
.
And
the
frenche
men
sayd
/
howe
they
had
brent
and
distroyed
in
the
bysshorike
of
Dyrhame
&
Carlyle
/
that
was
better
worthe
than
all
the
townes
in
Scotlande
.
So
the
frenchmen
and
scottes
retourned
in
to
Scotlande
the
same
waye
they
came
:
And
whan
they
came
into
Scotlande
they
founde
the
countrey
distroyed
/
but
the
people
of
the
countre
dyde
sette
but
lytell
therby
and
said
/
howe
with
thre
or
four
poles
/
shortely
they
wolde
make
agayne
their
houses
/
for
they
had
saued
moche
of
their
catayle
in
the
forestes
:
But
all
that
the
frenche
men
tooke
they
were
fayne
to
paye
truely
therfore
/
and
dere
.
The
frenche
men
were
often
in
great
daunger
/
for
the
scottes
and
they
were
at
many
debates
for
vitayle
:
And
the
scotes
sayd
/
howe
the
frenche
men
dyde
them
more
demage
than
the
Englysshe
men
had
done
:
&
when
it
was
demaunded
of
them
why
so
they
answered
and
sayde
:
howe
the
frenche
men
as
they
rode
abrode
they
beate
downe
&
desoyled
their
cornes
/
as
whete
barley
/
and
otes
:
and
wolde
nat
kepe
the
highe
wayes
/
but
rather
ryde
throughe
the
corne
.
Of
whiche
demages
/
they
said
they
wolde
haue
of
them
a
trewe
recompence
or
they
departed
out
of
Scotlande
:
&
sayde
/
Howe
they
shulde
nother
haue
shyppe
nor
maryner
to
passe
than
ouer
the
see
/
without
their
leaue
and
lycence
.
and
dyuers
other
knightes
and
squyers
complayned
/
that
their
woodes
were
cutte
downe
by
the
frenche
men
to
make
their
lodgynges
.
¶
Howe
the
Frenche
lordes
were
in
great
paryll
in
Scotlande
/
and
coulde
nat
fynde
the
meanes
to
passe
ouer
the
see
:
&
howe
they
shewed
th
erles
Duglas
and
Morette
/
the
hardnesse
that
they
founde
in
that
countre
/
and
what
answere
they
made
to
them
.

WHan
the
admyrall
and
his
company
were
returned
in
to
Scotlande
/
and
were
come
to
Edenborowe
/
they
had
endured
great
payne
/
&
as
than
they
coude
fynde
nothing
to

for
their

wynes
they
had
but
lytell

and
but
small
ale
or
bere

and
their
bredde
was
of
barley
or
of

and
their

were

And
whan

they

The
soudyers
shewed
to
their

howe
they
were
delte
with
all
/
and
they
knewe
it
right
well
by
experyence
of
them selfe
:
And
their
men
said
/
howe
they
coude
nat
long
endure
in
that
payne
:
They
said
that
the
realme
of
Scotlande
was
suche
a
countre
nat
to
kepe
an
hoost
in
wynter
/
and
if
they
shulde
abyde
there
tyll
somer
they
shulde
be
deed
for

.
And
if
they
shulde
departe
a

and
serche
for
their
lyueng
abrode
in
the
countre
/
they
douted
that
the
scottes
wolde
slee
them
in
their
beddes
.
The
admyrall
consydred
well
all
these
thynges
:
and
sawe
clerely
how
it
was
likely
to
be
as
they
sayde
/
howe
be
it
he
was
in
purpose
to
abyde
there
all
the
wynter
/
&
to
sende
to
the
frenche
kyng
and
to
the

/
certifyeng
them
what

they
were

to
haue
newe

of

/
and
to
make
a
newe
fresshe
warre
agayne
the
nexte
somer
to

Englande
/
howe
be
it
he
sawe
well
the
yuels
of
the
scottes
/
and
consydred
the
yell
of
his
people
.
Than
he
gaue
leaue
to
departe
/
all
suche
as
wolde
/
but
at
their
departyng
was
the
mischefe
/
for
the
lordes
coude
fynde
no
passage
for
themselve
nor
for
their

.
The
scottes
wolde
that
such
knightes
and
squyers
as
were
but
poore
shulde
departe
/
to
th
entent
that
they
might
rule
the
remnant
at
more
ease
:
and
sayd
to
the
admyrall
.
Sir
/
lette
youre
men
departe
whan
they
wyll
/
but
as
for
youre selfe
/
ye

/
tyll
we
be
full
satisfied
of
all
suche
charges
as
we
haue
borne
all
this
season
for
your
army
.
THese
tidynges
were
right
harde
to
the
admyrall
&
to
the
other
barons
of
Fraunce
/
and
shewed
all
the
mater
to
the
erle
Duglas

to
the

Morette

who
besemynge
were
right
sore
displeased

that

were
so

and
said
:
We
be
right

/
For
this
dealynge
wyll
cause
that
neuer
scottysshe
knight
shall
come
in
to
Fraunce
to
haue
good

.
And
so
these
two
erles
spake
to
the
other
erles
&
barons
of
Scotlande
/
who
said
/
howe
they
had
loste
as
well
as
they
/
wherfore
dissymule
you
with

/
for
we
wyll
be
recompensed
Than
these
two
erles
sayd
to
the
admyrall
and
to
the
other
lordes
of
Fraunce
/
howe
they
coude
nat
rule
the
other
lordes
nor
the

/
Wherfore
it
behoued
them
if
they
purposed
to
go
out
of
the
realme
/
to
satisfy
the
commons
&
to
restore

And
whan
the

sawe
that
it
wolde

non
otherwise
/
he
thought
he
wolde
nat
lese
the
more

.
He
consydred
well
/
howe
he
was
without
conforte
and
closed
in
with
the
see
/
and
sawe
howe
the
scottes
were
of
a
wylde
opynion
/
wherfore
they
were
fayne
to
agre
to
the
scottes
entent
&
caused
a

that
all
maner
of

shulde

&
proue

he
wolde
recompence
them
to
the
value
therof
/
whiche
crye
apeased
the
scottes
▪
and
so
the
admyrall
became
de●tour
to

sayd

howe
he
wolde

Than
the

was
demaunded

He
answered
yea

For
on
a
day
quod
he
/
whan
I
sawe
the
scottes
flye
awaye
for
feare
of
the
Englysshmen
/
I
desyred
them
to
bring
me
where
as
I
might
se
and
aduyse
the
Englysshe
hoost
/
and
so
they
dyde
/
I
was
set
in
a
straite
passage
where
as
they
must
nedes
passe
/
and
to
my
demyng
/
they
were
a
.ix
thousande
men
of
warre
.
And
the
scottes
sayd
that
it
was
all
the
power
of
England
/
and
that
there
were
none
abydinge
behynde

Than
the
kyng
and
his
counsayle
studyed
a
lytell
/

at
laste
sayd
.
It
is
a
great
thyng
of
threscore
thousande
archers
&
of
sixe
or
seuyn
thousande
men
of
armes
.
It
maye
well
be
quod
the
Constable
that
they
may
make
that
nombre
/
but
yet
I
had
rather
fight
with
theym
at
home
in
their
owne
marches
than
with
halfe
the
nombre
here
/
and
so
I
herde
my
maister
saye
often
tymes
whan
I
was
yonge

By

faithe
quod
the

/
if

ben

of
men
of
armes
as
I
supposed
ye
shulde
haue
been
I
thynke
we
hadde
famysshed
all
Scotlande
.
Thus
the
constable
and
admyrall
deuysed
toguyder
/
and
they
sette
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
in
great
desyre
to
make
an
armye
in
to
Englande
.
¶
Nowe
let
vs
leaue
a
lytell
to
speke
of
them
and
retourne
to
the
busynesse
of
Flaunders
.
IT
is
of
trouthe
/
the
duke
of
Burgoyn
had
ymagined
in
his
mynde
to
make
the
nexte
Somer
folowynge
/
whiche
shulde
be
in
the
yere
of
oure
lorde
god
/
a
thousande
thre
hundred
fourscore
and
fyue
/
a
great
army
/
and
to
moue
the
frenche
kyng
as
moche
as
he
might
to
go
into
Englande
.
And
also
the
constable
of
France
/
who
was
an
expert
knight
and
well
beloued
in
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
and
had
ben
brought
vp
in
his
youthe
in
the
realm
of
Englande
:
He
in
lykewise
gaue
counsayle
to
the
same
enterprise
/
and
so
dyde
the
lorde
dela
T●emoyle
.
And
bycause
that
the
duke
of
Berrey
was
in
Poictou
and
Lymosyn
/
and
knewe
nothynge
of
this
counsayle
/
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
who
was
chiefe
about
the
kynge
/
he
had
dyuers
ymaginacions
.
he
thought
well
that
as
long
as
the
warre
contynued
in
Flaunders
/
the
voyage
ouer
the
see
in
to
Englande
/
coude
nat
well
be
done
:
Wherfore
he
was
more
troubled
with
them
of
Gaunte
/
and
enclyned
rather
to
their
desyres
.
for
he
knewe
well
how
they
were
alyed
to
th
englysshe
men
.
And
howe
they
had
in
Gaunte
a
knight
of
Englande
called
sir
Iohan
Bourchier
/
sent
thyder
by
kyng
Richarde
to
gouerne
the
towne
and
to
counsayle
theym
:
Howe
be
it
the
gauntoyse
desyred
to
haue
peace
for
they
were
so
ouerlayd
by
the
warre
/
that
the
moost
ryche
and
notablest
persones
of
the
towne
/
were
nat
maisters
of
their
owne
goodis
for
the
wylde
soudyours
gouerned
them
.
And
the
wyse
men
sawe
well
/
that
at
length
it
coude
nat
endure
/
but
that
they
were
all
in
great
parell
.
And
whan
they
were
toguyder
/
dyuers
of
ten
tymes
marueyled
/
howe
they
had
endured
so
longe
as
they
hadde
done
:
they
sawe
well
it
was
rather
by
force
than
by
loue
/
For
Peter
de
Boyse
alwayes
parceyuered
in
his
yuell
opynions
and
domages
/
So
that
non
durst
speke
before
hym
of
peace
/
for
if
he
knewe
any
persone
though
he
were
neuer
so
sage
that
spake
of
any
treatie
of
peace
/
incontynent
he
was
slayne
and
murthered
without
pytie
or
remedy
.
THis
warre

they
of
Gaunte
hadde
maynteyned
agaynst
their

and
the

a

wherby
ther
was
suche

done
/
that
it
were
great

The

For

and
had
their

whiche
was

Than

IN
this
season
in
the
towne
of
Gaunt
was
sir
Iohan
Bourchyer
ruler
there
vnder
the
kynge
of
Englande
/
and
Peter
de
Boyse
dyd
assyst
hym
and
susteygned
all
their
yuell
opinyons
.
Ther
were
some
wysemen
right
sore
displeased
with
the
dyscencion
bytwene
their
naturall
lorde
and
the
towne
:
how
be
it
they
durst
nat
shewe
forth
the
ententes
of
their
hartes
/
but
one
of
them
to
another
as
they
durst
secretely
.
For
if
Peter
de
Boyse
had
knowen
that
they
had
made
any
●●blant
of
peace
/
they
shulde
haue
ben
slayne
without
mercy
.
In
lyke
maner
as
he
and
Philyppe
Dartuell
had
slayne
sir
Symon
Bec●e
and
sir
Gylbert
Brute
/
and
to
kepe
the
people
of
Gaunt
in
feare
:
He
had
caused
dyuers
to
be
slayne
in
that
season
.
In
that
season
afore
or
Fraunces
Atremau
was
putte
oute

towne
of
Dan
by
the
frenche
kyng
/
and
had
distroyed
the
countrey
of
the
foure
maysters
/
and
that
the
kynge
was
returned
agayne
in
to
Fraunce
(
as
ye
haue
herde
before
)
They
of
Gaunt
began
to
dout
and
the
notable
men
of
the
towne
supposed
/
that
the
nexte
Somer
the
frenche
kynge
wolde
retourne
agayne
and
besiege
the
towne
/
but
Peter
de
Boyse
and
suche
other
of
his
secte
made
but
lyght
therof
:
Sayenge
/
howe
they
wolde
gladly
se
the
kynge
before
their
towne
/
for
they
sayd
/
they
had
suche
alyaunce
with
the
kyng
of
Englande
/
that
they
shulde
soone
be
ayded
and
conforted
.
In
this
season
there
was
in
the
towne
two
valyant
men
of
good
lyfe
and
of
good
conuersacyon
/
of
a
meane
lygnage
/
nat
of
the
best
nor
of
the
worst
.
Whiche
persones
were
sore
displeased
to
se
the
discorde
bytwene
the
towne
and
their
naturall
lorde
/
howe
be
it
they
durste
nat
speke
therof
for
feare
of
Peter
de
Boyse
/
One
of
them
was
a
maryner
&
the
other
a
bocher
/
the
one
called
Roger
de
Creuyn
/
and
the
other
Iaques
Dardenbourke
.
●I
these
two
persones
the
matter
was
first
set
a
warke
/
and
with
them
a
wyse
knight
of
Flaunders
called
sir
Iohan
Delle
/
who
tooke
great
payne
therin
:
But
he
nor
all
the
knyghtes
in
Flaunders
coude
neuer
haue
brought
it
to
passe
/
and
it
had
nat
ben
by
the
meanes
of
these
two
persons
.
This
knight
sir
Iohan
Delle
was
welbeloued
in
the
towne
of
Gaunt
/
and
came
and
wente
at
his
pleasure
without
any
suspection
.
These
two
forsayd
persons
had
great
displeasure
of
this
debate●
and
spake
priuely
togyder
therof
:
And
Roger
said
to
Iaques
.
Wyll
there
be
no
remedy
founde
bytwene
the
towne
of
Gaunte
(
in
the
whiche
we
were
borne
/
and
is
nowe
in
a
harde
case
)
&
the
duke
of
Burgoyn
our
naturall
lorde
?
It
were
a
great
almes
dede
to
make
a
peace●
&
they
that
so
coude
do
/
shulde
haue
thanke
of
god
&
great
prayse
of
the
worlde
:
for
by
that
meanes
the
trouble
shulde
be
ceased
for
euer
,
ye
saye
trouthe
qd
Iaques
:
But
it
is
a
harde
thynge
to
bringe
about
:
for
Peter
de
Boyse
is
a
paryllous
man
/
there
is
none
dare
speke
of
peace
for
feare
of
him
.
Well
qd
Roger
/
yet
it
can
nat
be
alwayes
thus
/
at
last
it
must
nedes
haue
an
ende
.
Shewe
me
quod
Iaques
by
what
meanes
it
myght
be
/
&
I
wyll
gladly
here

.
Than
quod
Roger
/
ye
be
the
chefe
of
all
the
bochery
/
and
moost
beloued
and
dradde
.
ye
might
secretely
shewe
your
corage
and
entent
to
them
that
be
your
frendes
/
and
as
ye
se
howe
they
enclyne
/
ye
maye
speke
further
lytell
and
lytell
.
And
on
the
other
syde
/
I
that
am
a
maryner
and
beloued
with
all
maner
of
men
.
and
I
knowe
some
of
their
coragꝭ
howe
that
the
warre
displeaseth
them
/
for
they
haue
great
domage
therby
.
And
I
shall
shewe
my
mynde
to
some
/
who
shall
drawe
other
to
the
same
purpose
.
And
if
we
maye
gette

two
craftes
of
our
accorde
/
the
other
craftes
&
other
good
people
suche

Well
quod
Iaques
/
and
I
shall
speke
gladly
to
them
of
my
crafte
/
and
speke
you
to
yours
.
And
as
they
deuysed
so
it
was
done
/
ryght
secretely
and
wisely
/
so
that
by
the
grace
of
the
Holygost
/
Iaques
Dardenboure
founde
all

of
the
bochery
well
enclyned

And
Roger
on
his
part
by
meanes
of
his
fayre
language
/
founde
the
maryners
ryght
well
agreed
therto
/
for
their
crafte
was
nere
loste
for
lacke
of
vsage
.
Hus
these
two
wyse
men
shewed
eche
to
other
/
howe
they
founde
their
people
disposed
to
haue
peace
.
Than
they
said
/
howe
they
must

Some

gyueth
writyng
therof

but
yet
the
hatered
remayneth
styll
in

:
As
for
me
I
am
a
man
of
the

and
of

lynage

Thynke

There

Mathewes

/
They

I
swere
to

I
can

I

THan
Peter

Sayeng

And
for

/
In

/
I
aske
none

thynge
/
but
that
I
maye
be

So

and
to

and
shewed

The
kynge
made

so
dyde
the

of
Lancastre
and
his
bretherne

gaue

And
so
rong
I
tode

that
I
came
to
his

in

&
yet
he
neuer
sawe
me
before
/
but
he
had
often
herde
spekyng
of

and
so
he
reteyned
me
in

to
my
great
ease
/
with

the
letters
of
credence
that

Sir
/
the
puyssaunce
of
the
kyng
of
Castell
is
as
nowe
so
great
/
and
that
by
fortune
or
mysad
●enture
that
ye
lese
the

/
ye
lese
than
youre
realme
for
euer
.
Wherfore
it
were
better
ye
suffred
than
to
do
a
thyng
wherby
ye
shulde
haue
domage
and
parell
.
And
whan
t●e
erle
of
Cambridge
sawe
it
wolde
be
none
otherwyse
/
Here
tourned
to
Lusenborne
and
aparelled
his
shyppes
and
toke
leaue
of
the
kyng
of
Portyngale
/
and
so
toke
the
see
with
his
company
/
&
wolde
nat
leaue
Iohan
his
sonne
in
Portingale
with
the
kyng
/
nor
with
the
lady
that
he
shulde
mary
with
all
:
The
chylde
was
but
yonge
/
and
so
thus
the
erle
reteurned
in
to
Englande
.
Thus
was
the
dealyng
as
than
of
the
iourney
in
Portyngale
.
THe
erle
of
Cambridge
retourned
in
to
Englande
on
the
maner
as
ye
haue
herde
before
,
and
shewed
his
brother
the
Duke
of
Lancastre
all
the
dealynge
of
kynge
Ferant
of
Portyngale
.
The
duke
was
sorie
therof
,
for
he
sawe
thereby
that
his
conquest
of
Castell
was
farre
of
/
and
also
kyng
Richarde
of
Englande
had
abouth
h●m
c●unsayle
that
were
nat
after
his
apetyte
/
and
specially
the●le
of
Or●forde
/
who
was
chefe
in
the
kinges
fauour
.
This
erle
dyd
set
as
great
trouble
bytwene
the
kyng
and
his
vncles
as
he
might
/
and
said
oftentymes
to
the
kyng
.
sir
/
●fye
wyll
folowe
the
myndes
of
your

the

of
Lancastre
&
the
crle
of
Cambridge
/
it
shall
well
cost
all
the
treasure
in
Englande
about
their
warre
in
Spayne
/
and
yet
they
shall
cēquere
nothyng
.
It
were
better
for
you
to
kepe
your
owne
people
and
your
money
than
to
spende
it
abrode
where
as
ye
can
gette
no
profyte
/
and
kepe
and
defende
your

he
rytage
/
wherin
ye
haue
war●e
on
all
sydes
/
as
well
by
Fraunce
as
by
Scotlande
/
rather
than
to
enploy
your

in
other
countreis
.
The
yonge
kynge
enclyned
lightely
to
his
wordes
/
for
he
loued
him
with
all
his
hart
bicause
they
had
been
norisshed
vp
toguyder
.
And
this
erle
had
great
alyaunces
/
with
dyuers
lordes
and
knightes
of
Englande
/
for
he
dyde
all
his
maters
by
the
counsayle
of
sir
Symon
Burle
/
sir
Robert
Treuelyen
/
ser
Nicholas
Brambre
/
sir
Iohan
Beauchampe
/
sir
Iohan
Salisbury
/
and
sir
Mychaell
de
la
pole
.
And
also
sir
Thomas
Tryuet
and
sir
Wylliam
Helmon
/
were
named
to
be
of
the
same
parte
/
so
that
by
the
dyffernes
and
discorde
bitwene
the
kynge
and
his
vncles
/
and
the
nobles
and
commons
of
the
realme
/
many
yuels
came
therby
in
Englande
/
as
ye
shall
here
hereafter
in
this
hystorie
.
IT
was
nat
longe
after
that
the
erle
of
Cambridge
departed
out
of
Portyngale
/
but
that
the
kynge
Feraunt
felle
sicke
/
and
so
contynued
a
hole
yere
and
dyed
.
&
than
he
had
no
mo
chyldren
but
the
Quene
of
Spayne
.
Than
kynge
Iohan
of
Castell
was
enformed
of
his
deth
/
and
howe
that
the
realm
of
Portyngale
was
fallen
in
to
his
handes
/
and
howe
that
he
was
ryghtfull
heyre
thervnto
/
by
reason
of
the
dethe
of
the
kynge
.
Sother
was
dyuers
counsayls
kept
on
that
mater
/
and
some
sayd
/
howe
that
the
Portingales
were
so
harde
harted
people
/
that
they
wold
nat
be
had
without
it
were
by
conquest
.
And
in
dede
whan
the
portyngales
sawe
howe
they
were
without
a
kyng
than
they
determyned
by
counsayle
to
sende
to
a
bastarde
brother
of
the
kynges
/
a
sage
and
a
valyant
man
called
Deuyse
/
but
he
was
a
man
of
relygton
/
and
was
mayster
of
the
hospytals
in
all
the
realme
/
They
sayd
they
had
rather
be
vnder
the
rule
of
this
maister
Denyse
than
vnder
the
rule
of
the
kynge
of
Castell
/
for
they
reputed
hym
no
bastarde
/
that
hath
good
corage
to
do
well
.
Whan
this
mayster
Denyse
vnderstode
the
commens
wyll
of
foure
chiefe
cyties
of
Portyngale
(
for
they
hadde
great
affectyon
to
crowne
hym
kyng
)
wherof
he
had
great
ioye
/
and
so
wrote
secretely
to
his
frendes
and
came
to
Lurbone
/
whiche
is
the
kay
of
the
realme
.
The
people
of
the
towne
receyued
hym
with
great
ioye
and
demaunded
of
hym
/
if
they
crowned
him
kyng
:
wheder
he
wolde
be
good
to
them
or
nat
/
and
kepe
the
lande
in
their
fraunchese
.
And
he
aunswered
and
sayd
/
he
wolde
be
to
them
as
they
desyred
/
and
that
they
had
neuer
a
better
kynge
than
he
wolde
be
.
Than
they
of
Luxbone
wrote
to
Connubres
/
to
Pount
de
portugale
/
and
to
them
of
Dourke
:
These
were
the
kayes
of
the
Realme
/
and
so
they
determyned
to
crowne
to
their
kyng
this
mayster
Denyse
/
who
was
a
sage
&
a
valyant
man
and
of
good
gouernaunce
/
and
was
brother
to
kyng
Ferant
for
they
sawe
well
the
realme
coude
nat
be
longe
without
a
kyng
/
as
well
for
feare
of
the
spay
mardes
as
of
the
myscreantes
of
Granado
and
of
Bongie
/
who
marched
on
them
.
So
these
sayde
townes
and
certayne
of
the
lordes
of
the
lande
enclined
to
him
/
but
some
of
the
lordis
sayd
that
it
was
nat
mete
a
bastarde
to
be
crowned
kyng
:
And
the
people
of
the
good
townes
said
that
it
shulde
be
so
:
for
of
necessyte
they
must
so
do
/
sithe
they
had
none
other
/
and
seyng
that
he
was
a
valyant
and
a
sage
man
/
bothe
in
wy●te
and
in
dedes
of
armes
.
And
they
toke
ensample
by
kynge
Henry
/
who
was
crowned
kyng
of
Castell
by
electyon
of
the
countrey
/
and
for
the
common
profyte
/
and
that
was
done
kynge
Peter
beynge
a
lyue
.
So
thus
the
electyon
abode
on
this
maister
Denyse
/
and
solemynely
he
was
crowned
in
the
Cathedrall
churche
of
Connubres
/
by
the
accorde
and
puyssaunce
of
the
commons
of
the
realme
.
And
there
he
sware
to
kepe
iustyce
&
to
do
ryght
to
his
people
/
and
to
kepe
and
maynteyne
their
frauncheses
/
and
to
lyue
and
dye
with
them
/
wherof
they
hadde
great
ioye
.
Whan
these
tidynges
came
to
the
hearyng
of
don
Iohan
kyng
of
Castell
/
he
was
sore
displeased
therwith
/
and
for
two
causes
.
The
one
was
bycause
his
wyfe
was
enheryter
there
/
&
the
other
bycause
the
people
by
election
hadde
crowned
maister
Denyse
kynge
there
.
Wherfore
this
kyng
Iohan
toke
tytell
to
make
warr
and
to
demaunde
of
them
of
Luxbone
the
some
of
two
hundred
thousande
florens
/
whiche
Ferant
promysed
hym
whan
he
toke
his
doughter
to
his
wyfe
.
So
than
he
sende
the
Erle
of
Terme
/
th
erle
of
Ribydea
/
and
the
bysshoppe
of
Burges
in
to
Portyngale
/
as
his
ambassadours
to
them
of
Luxbone
.
&
whan
they
were
at
saynt
prayne
/
the
laste
towne
of
Castell
towarde
Luxbone
:
Than
they
sent
an
haraulde
to
the
kyng
and
to
them
of
Luxbone
/
to
haue
a
saue
conducte
to
go
and
come
and
to
furnysshe
their
voyage
/
whiche
was
graunted
lightly
/
&
so
they
came
to
Luxbone
/
and
so
the
towne
assembled
their
counsayle
toguyder
/
and
the
ambassadours
shewed
why
they
were
come
thyder
/
and
finally
sayde
.
ye

And

It

there

And
also
/
ye

this
without

Wherfore
the
kyng

And
without

To

answered

Sirs

for

And
it

that

Wherfore

And
as

/
take

/
and
of

therof
.
At
this
answere
the
kynge
of
Portyngall
was
nat
present●
howbeit
he
knewe
well
what
shulde
be
sayd
.
And
whan
these
ambassadours
sawe
they
coude
haue
non
other
answere
/
they
toke
their
leaue
and
departed
/
and
retourned
to
Cyuell
/
where
they
lafte
the
kyng
and
his
counsayle
/
to
whom
they
shewed
all
the
said
answere
.
Than
the
kyng
of
Spayne
toke
counsayle
what
was
best
to
do
in
this
mater
.
Than
it
was
determyned
that
the
kyng
of
Portyngale
shulde
be
defied
/
and
howe
that
the
kyng
of
Spayne
had
a
good
quarell
to
moue
the
warre
for
dyuers
reasons
.
So
than
kyng
Denyse
was
defyed
&
all
his
helpers
in
Portyngale
.
Than
the
kyng
of
Spayne
made
a
gret
sommons
of
men
of
war●
to
lay
siege
to
the
cytie
of
Luxbone
/
&
the
kyng
sayd
/
he
wolde
neuer
departe
thens
tyll
he
had
it
/
for
they
had
answered
hym
so
proudely
/
that
they
shuld
derely
repent
it
/
if
he
might
ouercome
them
.
Thus
the
king
of
Castell
with
all
his
puissaunce
came
to
saynt
yrayne
.
At
that
season
there
was
a
knight
chased
●ut
of
his
court
/
who
was
called
sir
Nauret
/
For
if
the
kyng
myght
haue
gette
hym
/
it
shulde
haue
cost
hym
his
h●ed
.
the
knight
had
knowledge
therof
/
for
he
hadde
many
good
frendes
.
So
he
auoyded
the
Realme
of
Castell
and
came
to
Luxbone
to
the
kyng
of
Portyngale
/
who
had
great
ioye
of
his
comynge
/
and
retayned
hym
&
made
hym
a
great
capitayne
/
and
he
dyde
after
moche
hurte
to
the
spayniardes
.
The
kynge
of
Castell
departed
fro
saynt
yrayne
/
and
came
and
layde
siege
before
the
cytie
of
Luxbone
/
and
enclosed
therin
the
kynge
of
Portyngale
.
The
siege
endured
more
than
a
hole
yere
/
and
constable
of
the
host
was
the
erle
of
Longueuyll
/
and
Marshall
of
the
hoost
was
sir
Raynolde
Lymosyn
/
he
was
a
knight
of
Limosyn
/
who
long
before
came
in
to
Spaygne
with
sir
Bertram
of
Clesquy
in
the
firste
warres
that
he
made
in
Spaygne
.
This
sir
Raynolde
was
a
valiant
knight
and
well
proued
/
And
the
kynge
had
well
maryed
hym
to
a
fayre
lady
/
&
to
a
fayre
herytage
:
And
by
her
he
had
two
sonnes
Raynolde
and
Henry
.
And
he
was
greatly
praysed
in
the
realme
of
Castell
for
his
prowes
/
and
with
the
kynge
of
Castell
there
was
Dagheynes
Mandake
/
sir
Dygo
Persement
/
don
Peter
Roseament
/
don
Maryche
de
Versaulx
portugaleys
/
who
were
turned
spaynisshe
/
and
the
great
mayster
of
Calestrane
and
his
brother
/
a
yong
knyght
called
don
Dighemeres
/
Pier
Goussart
of
selme
/
Iohan
Radigo
de
Hoyes
/
&
the
great
mayster
of
saint
Iaques
.
The
kyng
had
well
with
hym
a
thyrtie
thousande
men
.
There
were
dyuers
assautes
and
scrimysshes
/
and
many
feates
of
armes
done
/
on
the
one
parte
and
on
the
other
.
The
spaygnierdes
knewe
well
that
the
kynge
of
Portyngale
shulde
haue
none
ayde
of
the
nobles
of
his
realme
,
for
the
commons
had
made
hym
kyng
agaynst
their
wylles
.
So
the
kyng
of
Castell
had
intensyon
to
conquere
Luxbone
and
all
the
countre
/
or
he
retourned
/
for
he
sawe
well
they
shulde
haue
none
ayde
without
it
were
out
of
Englande
/
wherof
he
had
moost
doute
.
And
yet
whan
he
had
well
ymagined
▪
he
sawe
well
the
Englysshe
men
were
farr
of
/
and
he
had
herde
howe
they
kynge
of
Englande
and
his
vncles
were
nat
all
of
the
best
acorde
.
wherfore
he
thought
hym selfe
the
more
of
sur●tie
at
his
siege
/
whiche
siege
was
right
plentyfull
of
all
thynges
.
There
was
in
no
market
in
Castell
more
plentie
than
was
ther.
And
the
kyng
of
Portyngale
lay
styll
in
the
cytie
of
Luxbone
at
his
case
/
for
they
coude
nat
take
the
See

And
in
the
countie
of
Bygore
lyeth
the
strong
castell
of
Lourde
/
whiche
was
englysshe
euer
sythe
that
the
countie
of
Bigore
was
yelded
to
the
kyng
of
England
and
to
the

/
for
the

/
by

made
at

before
Charters
/
and
after
confyrmed
at
Calais
/
as
it
hath
ben
shewed
before
in
the
other
hystorie
.
Whan
the
prince
of
Wales
was
come
out
of
Englande
/
and
that
the
kyng
his
father
bad
gyuen
hym
in
herytage
/
all
the
lande
and
duchy
of
Acqustayne
/
wherin
there
were

other

&
that

/
&
had
taken
the
possessyons
of
all
these

Than
he
&
the

were
desyred
by
the

Iohan

/
that

/
in

of
Tarbe
to
se
that
countre
whiche
as
than
he
had
nat
sene
before
.
And
the
erle
of
Armynake
thought
that
if
the

/
that
the
Erle
of
Foiz
wolde
come
and
se
them

and
wher

/
to
forgyue
hym
the

So
moche
dyd
the
erle
of
Armynake
that
at
his
instance
/
the
prince
and
princes
came
to
the
cytie
of

.
This
towne
is
fayre

standeth
in

countre
/
amonge

:
And
it
is
a

/
cytie

and
castell
/
closed

/
and
seperated
eche

Fro

of

cometh

fayre
ryuer
of

/
whiche
ronneth
throughe

and
is
as

as

And
a

leages
thens
is
the

of
Morlance
/
parteyninge
to
the
erle
of
Foiz
/
at
the

of
Bierne
/
and
vnder
the
mountayne
/
a
site
leages
fro
Tarbe
is
the
towne
of
Panne
/
whiche
also
perteyneth
to
the
sayd
erle
.
The
same
tyme
that
the
prince
&

was
at
Tarbe
/
th
erle
of

was
at
Panne
.
He

Assone

And
of

was
the

and
made

th
erle
of

all
/
or

of
the

of

that
he
ought

And
the
prince
who
was
wyse
and
sage
/
consyderynge
all
thynges
/
thought
that
be
might
nat
do
so

Sir

By

Whanne
the

Howe

But

But
the

.
And
than

Madame

the

the

Madame

I

Thus

/
at

request
of
the
princes
wan

.
And
anone
after
the
erle
of
Foiz
returned
to
his

countre
.
I
Sir

Froissarde
make
narracion
of
this
busynesse
/
bycause
whan
I
was

And

whiche
was
a

/
And
whan
he
was
there
/
and
had
well
aduysed
the
towne
/
the
castell
/
and
the
countre
/
he
praysed
it
greatly
:
aswell
for
the
strength
of
the
castell
/
as
bycause
it
stode
on
the
fronter
of
dyuers
countreis
/
For

/
might
ronne
well
in

in

and

.
Than

.
There
he
dyde
homage
to
the
prince
/
and
the
prince
put
hym
in
possession
.
It
is
to
be
knowen
/
that
whan
the
warre
began
to
renewe
bytwene
Englande
&
Fraunce
as
it
hath
ben
shewed
before
:
The
erle
Guy
of
saynt
Poule
and
sir
Hugh
of
Chatellon
mayster
of
the
crosbowes
in
Fraunce
/
in
that
tyme
beseged
the
towne
of
Abuyle
/
and
wan
it
/
with
all
the
countre
of
Poitou
.
The
same
tyme
two
great
barons
of
Bigore
/
th
one
called
sir
Marnalte
Barbesan
and
the
lorde
Danchyn
tourned
frenche
/
and
toke
the
towne
/
cytie
/
and
castell
of
Tarbe
/
whiche
was
but
easely
kept
for
the
kynge
of
Englande
:
But
styll
the
castell
of
Lourde
/
was
in
the
handes
of
sir
Pier
Ernalt
of
Bierne
/
who
wolde
in
no
wyse
yelde
vp
the
castell
/
but
made
euer
great
warre
agaynst
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
and
sent
for
great
company
of
aduenturers
in
to
Bierne
and
Gascoyne
/
to
helpe
and
to
ayde
hym
to
make
warre
/
so
that
he
had
togyder
many
good
men
of
armes
.
and
he
had
with
hym
sixe
capitayns
/
&
euery
man
fyftie
speares
vnder
hym
.
The
first
was
his
brother
Iohan
of
Bierne
a
right
expert
squyer
/
and
Pier
Danchyne
of
Bygore
/
brother
germayne
to
the
lorde
Danchyne
/
he
wolde
neuer
tourne
frenche
/
Nandon
of
saynt
Colombe
/
Ermalton
of
mount
Ague
of
saynt
Basyll
/
and
the
Bourge
of
Carnela
.
These
capitayns
made
dyuers
iourneys
in
to
Bygore
/
in
to
Tholousyn
/
in
to
Carcassene
/
&
in
to
Albygoise
:
For
euer
assone
as
they
were
out
of
Lourde
/
they
were
in
the
lande
of
their
enemyes
/
and
somtyme
they
wolde
aduenture
thyrtie
leages
of
fro
their
holde
.
And
in
their
goynge
/
they
wolde
take
nothyng
/
but
in
their
retourne
there
was
nothynge
coulde
scape
them
.
Somtyme
they
brought
home
so
great
plentie
of
beestes
&
prisoners
/
that
they
wyst
nat
howe
to
kepe
them
.
Thus
they
rausomed
all
the
countrey
excepte
the
erle
of
Foiz
landes
/
For
in
his
landes
they
durste
nat
take
a
chekyn
/
withoute
they
payed
truely
therfore
:
For
if
they
had
displeased
the
erle
/
they
coulde
nat
longe
haue
endured
.
These
companyons
of
Lourde
ranne
ouer
all
the
countre
at
their
pleasure
/
&
I
rode
nat
farre
fro
theym
.
Thus
the
cytie
of
Tarbe
was
in
great
doute
/
so
that
they
were
fayne
to
make
couynaunt
with
them
.
And
bytwene
Tarbe
and
Lourde
/
there
was
a
great
vyllage
and
a
good
abbey
called
Gynors
/
who
in
lykewise
were
fayne
to
agre
with
them
.
Also
on
the
other
parte
on
the
ryuer
of
Lysse
/
there
was
a
great
towne
called
Bagueres
/
they
of
that
towne
had
a
harde
season
/
for
they
were
so
haryed
by
the
garyson
of
Maluoysen
standynge
on
a
hylle
/
and
the
ryuer
of
Lysse
rynnyng
vnderneth
/
vnto
a
walled
towne
called
Turney
/
in
to
the
whiche
towne
they
of
Lourde
and
of
Maluoysen
hadde
euer
their
recourse
/
to
the
whiche
towne
they
dyde
no
hurte
/
bycause
they
had
their
resorte
thyder
:
And
they
of
the
towne
had
euer
a
good
market
of
their
pyllage
/
and
so
dissymuled
euer
with
them
/
whiche
they
were
fayne
to
do
/
or
elles
they
coulde
nat
haue
lyued
/
for
they
had
no
ayde
nor
socoure
of
any
persone
:
the
capitayne
of
Maluoysen
was
a
gascoyne
/
&
his
name
was
Remonet
de
Lespe
/
an
experte
man
of
armes
.
He
and
his
company
&
they
of
Lourde
/
rausomed
as
well
the
marchauntes
of
Aragon
and
Catheloyne
as
of
Fraunce
/
without
they
agreed
with
them
.
In
the
season
that
I
enterprised
to
go
se
the
erle
of
Foiz
/
and
to

were
determyned
to

And

&
there
they
slewe

than
they
toke

&
went

opyned

and
let

the
bridge
easely
that
none

Than

Thus
was
Ortayse

/
than
I
demaunded

&
so
her

went

Thus
had
Pier
Danchin

towne

&
the

tyme
that
they
entred
/
he

countie
of
Foiz
or

/
were
clene
delyuered
without

&
this
Pier
Danchyn
kept

:
&
he
&
his

oftymes

the
countre
/
as
well
by
raunsomynge
of

as

ouer
all
the
countrey
.
In
the
meane
season
that
Pier
Danchin
was
in
the
garison
of
Ortaise
/
On
a
night
certayne
of
his

went
out
&
came
to
a
castel
called
Paiel●er
a
good
leage
thens
/
wherof
a
frenche
knight
called
Raymon
du
Pailier
was
owner
they
had
ben

&
fayled
of

but
as

their

was
suche

they
scaled
the
castell
&
toke

&
the

And
let

but
they
kept
styll
the
knight

space
of
foure
monethes
/
&
at
last
he
payed

M.

And
fi●ally
whan
they

of
the
countre
for
.viii.
M.
frankes
/
&
than
they
went
to
Lourde

.
So
thus
in
this
aduenture
knightes
dyd
put

dayly
.
also
the
same
tyme
ther
was
an
expert
man
of

in
the
castell
of
lourde
a
gascone
borne
/
he
was
called
le
Mengeant
of

Basyll
:
On
a
tyme
he
&
.xxx.
with
him
departed
fro
Lourde
&
rode
at
all
aduenturee
in
to
Tho●ousyn
/
&
had
thought
to
haue
gote
the
castell
of
Penne
in
Allugois
/
but
he
myst
of
his
●●●ent
.
and
whan
he
sawe
that
he
fayled
of
his
purpose
/
he
came
to
the
gate
&
made
a
great
scrymisshe
:
and
the
same
proper
hour
the
seneshall
of
Tholous
rode
forthe
&
with
hym
sir
Hughe
de
Froid
wyll
and
a
.lx.
speares
/
&
came
by
aduenture
to
Pan
while
the
sayd
scrimysshe
was
in
doyng
.
Than
incontynent
they
sette
fote
to
the
erthe
&
came
to
the
barryers
:
and
so
than
the
Mengeant
was
ouer
matched
/
but
ther
he
fought
valiantly
hande
to
hande
/
and
wounded
the
other
knight
in
two
or
thre
places
/
howe
be
it
finally
he
was
taken
by
force
/
&
his
men
outher
taken
or
slayne
/
ther
were
but
a
fewe
that
scaped
.
So
this
Mengeant
was
ledde
to
Tholous
/
and
than
the
commons
of
the
towne
wolde
haue
slayne
hym
bitwene
the
handis
of
the
seneshall
/
he
had
moche
payne
to
saue
his
lyfe
/
&
so
brought
hym
in
to
the
castell
/
for
he
was
ryght
yuell
beloued
in
Tholous
.
yet
after
it
happed
so
well
for
hym
/
that
the
duke
of
Berry
came
thider
/
and
this
knyght
had
suche
frendes
that
he
was
delyuered
/
&
the
seneshall
had
a
thousande
frankes
for
his
raunsome
:
and
whan
he
was
delyuered
he
retourned
to
Lourde
/
and
began
agayne
to
make
newe
enterprises
.
And
so
on
a
tyme
he
departed
fro
Lourde
&
fyue
with
hym
without
any
armoure
/
and
he
dyde
on
the
abbyt
of
a

&
lyke
other
thre

with
hym
/
and
they
had
all

so
that

sawe
them
/
wende
surely
that
they
had
ben
monkes
/
the
abbit
and
gesture
be

And
in
this
maner

and
toke
vp

at
the
signe
of
the
Egle
/
and
said

Wherof
the

&
so
we

tyll
we
came
to
Monste
que●
a

perteyning
to
th

whiche
the
Armynagois

in

closed
on
the
ryuer
of
Garon
/
perteyning
to
th
erle
of
Foiz
:
And
whan
we
were
almost
ther
we
had
thought
to
haue
passed
the
bridge
of

/
to
haue
entred
in

but
we
coulde
nat

wherby
another
ryuer
was

ran
so

that
it
reysed
vp

that
it
brake

whiche
was
of

wherfore
we
returned
agayne

Than
the
next
day
the

had
counsayle

let

but
that
ye

for
ye
shal
be
stronge

And
whan
ye
come
there
/
cause
the
men

countre
to
bring
thyder
great
plentie

and
choke

:
and
than
without

for
I
wyll
that

that

I
shall
cause

These
two
knightes
dyd
his
commaundement
and
so
wente
to
Palamuche
/
&
all
men
of
warre
of
Bierne
folowed
them
/
and
so
they
came
before
this
towne
of
Casseres
.
they
that
were
within
sette
lytell
by
them
/
but
they
were
nat
were
howe
they
were
enclosed
within
the
towne
/
so
that
they
coulde
nat
issue
oute
at
any
gate
.
And
the
thirde
day
/
the
erle
of
Foiz
came
thider
with
fyue
hundred
men
of
armes
:
and
as
sone
as
he
came
/
he
caused
barryers
to
be
made
rounde
about
the
towne
/
&
also
barriers
rounde
about
his
host
/
bycause
they
shulde
nat
be
troubled
in
the
night
tyme
.
so
in
this
case
they
laye
longe
without

/
in
so
moche
that
vitayle
began
to

they

they

Nor
they
coulde
nat
flye
awaye
by
the
ryuer
/
for
it
was
as
thanne
to
depe
.
Than
they
thought
it
were
better
to
yelde
them selfe
as
prisoners
/
than
to
dye
so
shamefully
for
famyne
/
&
so
fell
in
treaty
.
Th
erle
of
Foiz
agreed
to
their
treatie
/
so
that
they
shulde
nat
issue
oute
at
no
gate
/
but
to
make
a
hole
in
the
wall
and
go
out
therat
/
to
come
one

without
armoure
/
&
so
to
yelde
them
as

.
It
behoued
them
to
take
this
waye
/
and
so
made
a
hole
in
the
wall
and
issued
oute
one
by
one
.
And
there
was
the
erle
redy
and
all
his
people
in
order
of
batayle
to
receyue
them
as
prisoners
.
and
euer
as
they
came
out
/
the
Erle
sent
them
to
dyuers
castelles
as
prisoners
:
and
his
cosyn
sir
Iohn
of
Armynake
/
sir
Bernarde
Dalbret

and
sir

and
or
they
departed
/
he
had
of
them
two
hundred
thousande
trāke●
:
and
thus
was
this
hole
in
the
wall
made
/
&
than
we
wente
to
our
supper
.
And
the
nexte
day
we
rode
a
longe
by
the
ryuer
of
Garon
and
passed
by
Palamuche
and
than
we
entred
in
to
the
lande
of
the

Comynges
and
Armynake
/
and
on
the
other
syde
was
the

/
and
the

And
as
we

And
as
we
rode
bytwene
these
townes
and
castelles
a
longe
by
the
ryuer
of
Garon
in
a
fayre
medowe

this

I
haue
sene
here
many
fayre
scrimysshes

bytwene
the
foizois
and
armynakes
/
for
as
than
there
was
no
towne
nor
castell
but
that
was
well
furnysshed
with
men
of
warre
/
&
so
they
warred
eche
vpon
other
.
The
armynakes
agaynst
yonder
two
castelles
made
a
bastyde
/
and
kept
it
with
men
of
warre
/
and
dyde
moche
hurt
in
the
erle
of
Foiz
lande
:
But
I
shall
shewe
you
howe
it
fortuned
.
The
erle
of
Foiz
on
a
night
sent
his
brother
Peter
de
Bierne
with
two
hundred
speres
/
and
with
them
a
four
hundred
villayns
of
the
countre

charged
with
fagottꝭ
moche
wode

and
brought
it
to
the
bastide
.
and
than
sette
fyre
theron
and
so
brent
the
bastyde
/
and
all
them
that
were
within
without
mercy
.
and
sithe
it
was
neuer
made
agayne
.
So
in
suche
deuyses
we
rode
all
that
day
a
longe
by
the
ryuer
of
Garon
/
and
what
on
the
one
syde
and
on

/
we
sawe
many

.
All
that
were

hande
parteyned
to
th
erle
of
Foiz
/
and
the
other
syde
parteyned
to
th

of
Armynake
.
And
so
thus
we
passed
by
Montpesac
a
fayre
castell
&
a
stronge
standyng
on
an
highe
rocke
/
&
vnderneth
was
the

and
the

:
and
without
the
towne
a
lytell
/
there
was
a
place
called
ala
gardea
/
and
a
towre
bitwene
the
rocke
and
the
ryuer
/
whiche
towre
had
a
gate
and
a
portcolyse
of
yron
.
sixe
men
might
well
kepe
this
passage
agaynst
all
the
worlde
/
for
there
coulde
no
man
passe
but
two
on
a
front
/
what
for
the
towre
on
the
one
syde
&
the
ryuer
on
the
other
syde
.
than
I
sayd
to
the
knyght
/
sir
/
here
is
a
stronge
passage
and
a
myghtie
countre
/
it
is
true
quod
the
knight
:
and
though
th
entre
be
stronge
/
yet
the
erle
of
Foiz
dyde
conquere
it
ones
/
and
he
&
all
his
passed
the
same
waye
with
the
helpe
of
the
archers
of
Englande
/
that
he
had
as
than
in
his
company
/
and
the
great
desyre
that
they
had
to
passe
in
to
the
countre
.
Come
ryde
nere
me
sir
quod
he
/
&
I
shall
shewe
you
howe
it
was
/
and
so
I
rode
iuste
by
hym
●
and
than
he
sayd
:
Sir
/
on
a
tyme
the
Erle
of
Armynake
and
the
lorde
Dalbret
with
a
fyue
hundred
men
of
warre
/
came
in
to
the
countre
of
Foiz
and
to
the
marches
of
Pauyers
.
And
this
was
in
the
begynnynge
of
August
/
whan
men
dyd
gather
in
their
cornes
and
the
grapes
were
rype
/
at
whiche
tyme
there
was
great
habundaunce
in
the
countre
.
Than
sir
Iohan
of
Armynake
and
his
company
lodged
before
the
towne
Sauredun
/
a
lytell
leage
fro
the
cytie
of
Pauyers
.
And
he
sente
to
them
of
Pauyers
/
that
without
they
wolde
bye
their
cornes
and
wynes
/
and
pay
for
them
:
they
said
els
they
wolde
brinne
and
distroy
all
togyder
.
Than
they
of
Pauiers
were
in
great
feare
/
for
the
Erle
their
lorde
was
farre
of
fro
them
:
for
he
was
as
than
in
Byerne
.
And
so
they
were
fayne
to
bye
their
owne
cornes
/
and
payed
for
them
fyue
thousande
frankes
/
but
they
desyred
fyftene
dayes
of
respyte
/
whiche
was
graunted
them
.
Than
the
erle
of
Foiz
was
enformed
of
all
this
būsynesse
/
and
he
hasted
hym
as
moche
as
he
might
/
and
assembled
toguyder
his
men
and
came
sodaynly
in
to
the
cytie
of
Pauyers
with
.xii.
hundred
speares
.
And
so
had
fought
with
sir
Iohan
of
Armynake
if
he
had
taryed
/
but
he
departed
and
wente
in
to
the
countie
of
Comynges
.
So
he
had
no
money
of
them
of
Pauyers
/
for
they
had
no
leysar
to
tarye
therfore
.
But
than
th
erle
of
Foiz
claymed
the
same
some
/
for
he
sayd
he
was
come
/
and
saued
their
money
and
corne
:
and
had
put
awaye
all
their
ennemyes
.
And
so
he
had
it
to
paye
his
men
of
warre
therewith
/
and
there
he
taryed
tyll
they
had
inned
all
their
corne
and
vyntage
.
And
so
we
passed
than
foreby
a
castell
called
Bretytte
/
and
also
by
another
castell
called
Bacelles
/
all
parteyninge
to
the
erle
of
Comynges
:
and
as
we
rode
a
long
by
the
ryuer
/
I
sawe
a
fayre
castell
and
a
great
towne
/
&
I
demaunded
of
the
knight
what
the
castell
was
called
.
and
he
said
it
was
named
Montesplayne
/
parteyninge
to
a
cosyn
of
the
erle
of
Foiz
/
called
sir
Roger
Despaygne
/
a
great
barone
in
the
countre
/
and
in
Tholousyn
:
and
as
than
was
seneshall
of
Carcassoney
.
Than
I
demaunded
of
this
knight
/
if
he
were

sir
Charles
of
Spayne
/
who
was
constable
of

:
and
he
answered

For

and

And

Than
the
Bastot

and
called

And

&
sawe

sore
displeased

So
all

so

Culyer
/
the
whiche
was
kepte
by
some

So

Th

alway

of

that

&
also
for

of

neighbours
/
the
frenche
kyng
and
the
kynge
of
Englande
/
whom
he
wolde
nat
wyllingly
displease
:
For
he
hath
alwayes
dissymuled
bytwene
them
/
duryng
all
the
wary
season
vnto
this
present
tyme
/
for
he
neuer
armed
hym selfe

/
He

alwayes
been
euer

with

I

:
&
so
ye
shall

/
ye

the

And
there
is
none
so
great
a
lorde
/
nother

frenche
kyng
nor
the
kyng
of
Englande
/
that
wyll
wyllingly
haue
his

wyll
:
as
for
his

neighbours
/
as
the
kyng
of
Arragon
or

/
he
estemeth
them
but
lytell
/
for

wyll
fynde
mo
men
of

(
by
reason
of
suche
frendes
as
he
hath
gote
with
his
giftes
/
and
money
that
he
hath
in
treasure
)
than
bothe
those
kynges
can
do
:
For
I
haue
herde
hym
saye
/
that
whan
the
kyng
of
Cyper
was
in
his
countre
of
Byerne
/
and
moued
him
to
haue
gone
to
the
voiage
of
the
holy
Sepulture
.
He
hadde
thought
the
same
tyme
to
haue
made
suche
a
iourney
/
that
if
the
frenche
kyng
or
the
kyng
of
Englande
had
taken
that
enterprise
/
howe
ther
shulde
haue
ben
no
lorde
shulde
haue
brought
suche
a
company
as
he
wolde
haue
done
/
and
as
yet
he
is
of
the
same
mynde
:
and
in
parte
/
that
is
one
of
the
causes
that
he
gadereth
suche
treasure
.
tHe
prince
of
Wales
/
the
season
that
he
raigned
in
the
countre
of
Acquitayne
beyng
at
Burdeux
on
the
ryuer
of
Geronde
/
thought
to
haue
made
hym
warre
.
The
prince
manassyde
him
for
the
countre
of
Bierne
and
wolde
haue
had
hym
to
haue
holde
his
countre
of
hym
/
and
the
erle
sayd
he
wolde
nat
:
and
sayd
/
howe
his
countre
of
Bierne
was
so
free
a
lande
/
that
it
ought
to
do
homage
to
no
man
of
the
worlde
.
And
the
prince
/
who
at
that
tyme
was
great
and
sore
feared
/
said
howe
he
wolde
compell
hym
perfoce
/
for
th
erle
of
Armynake
&
the
lorde
Dalbret
who
loued
nat
th
erle
of
Foiz
bycause
of
suche
victories
as
he
hadde
won
on
them
before
.
They
tytled
the
prince
euer
in
his
eare
/
and
entysed
hym
to
haue
made
warre
agaynst
the
erle
of
Foiz
/
but
the
voiage
that
the
prince
made
in
to
Spayne
brake
his
purpose
.
Also
sir
Iohn
Chandos
/
who
was
chefe
of
counsayle
with
the
Prince
was
agaynst
it
/
that
the
prince
shulde
make
any
watre
to
the
erle
.
The
erle
of
Foiz
loued
right
well
sir
Iohan
Chandos
and
he
hym
/
but
the
erle
douted
the
prince
/
bycause
he
was
fierse
and
coragious
.
and
therfore
he
gadered
togyder
as
moche
treasure
as
he
coude
gette
/
to
th
entent
therwith
to
defende
hym
if
nede
were
.
And
so
he
set
great
tayles
&
taxes
in
all
his
countre
and
in
euery
towne
/
whiche
as
yet
endureth
/
and
shall
do
as
long
as
he
lyueth
.
He
had
of
euery
fyre
euery
yere
two
frankes
/
and
the
ryche
to
beare
out
the
poore
/
therby
he
gadered
and
yet
dothe
great
riches
/
and
the
people
payeth
it
with
a
marueylous
good
wyll
.
For
by
reason
therof
/
there
is
nother
Englysshe
nor
frenche
/
nor
robbers
nor
reyuers
/
that
dothe
them
any
hurte
/
to
the
value
of
one
penny
.
And
so
his
countre
is
in
sauegarde
and
iustice
truely
kepte
/
for
in
doyng
of
iustyce
he
is
right
cruell
:
he
is
the
moost
rightfull
lorde
that
is
nowe
lyueng
.
And
so
with
these
wordes
we
came
to
the
towne
of
Turney
/
where
as
we
shulde
rest
all
night
.
So
than
the
knight
seased
of
his
talkyng
/
and
I
remembred
well
where
we
lefte
agaynst
the
next
day
/
and
we
were
lodged
at
the
signe
of
the
Starre
and
toke
our
ease
.
And
at
supper
tyme
the
capitayne
of
Maluoysin
/
called
sir
Raymonde
of
Lane
/
came
to
se
vs
&
supped
with
vs
/
and
brought
with
hym
four
flaggons
of
the
best
wyne
that
I
dranke
of
in
all
my
iourney
:
those
two
knightes
talked
long
togider
:
and
whan
it
was
late
the
knight
departed
and
retourned
to
the
castell
of
Maluoysin
.
and
the
next
mornyng
we
mounted
on
out
horses
/
and
departed
fro
Tourney
&
passed
by
a
gyde
the
ryuer
of
Lysse
/
and
rode
towarde
the
cytie
of
Tarbe
/
&
entred
in
to
Bigore
:
And
we
lefte
the
waye
to
Lourde
/
to
Bagueres
/
and
to
the
castell
of
Mountgaylliard
on
the
lyfte
hande
.
And
we
rode
towarde
a
vyllage
called
Teracimytat
/
and
dyd
coost
it
/
and
came
to
a
wode
in
the
lande
of
the
lorde
of
Barbasan
/
and
we
came
nere
to
a
castell
called
Matheras
/
at
the
entre
of
the
countre
of
Layre
.
Than
the
knight
said
to
me
.

/
and
beholde

I
thought
my selfe
but
as
lost
ther
/
if
I
had
nat
ben
in
the
company
with
that
knight
.
Than
I
remembred
the
wordes
that
this

had
shewed

.ii.
or
thre
dayes
before
of
that
countre
of

Than
I
rode

/
and
than
he
sayde
.

in

And

our selfe
in
to
two
busshementes
/
we
are
company
ynough
so
to
do
.
Than
it
was
ordayned
that
Erualton
and
the
Bourge
of
Spayne
/
sir
Raymonde
of
Benache
and
Anguerot
Lane
with
a
hundred
speres
/
shulde
kepe
the
passage
at
Tourney
:
For
they
knewe
well
that
they
of
Lourd
with
their
praye
must
nedes
passe
the
ryuer
of
Lysse
.
and
it
was
ordayned
/
that
the
lorde
of
Barbasone
and
Erualton
Byset
with
a
hundred
speares
/
shulde
ryde
at
aduentures
.
So
this
they
departed
/
and
the
lorde
of
Benache
and
the
Bourge
of
Spaygne
put
them selfe
in
a
busshment
/
bytwene
Maluoysin
and
Turney
/
and
the
other
company
rode
and
toke
the
same
waye
that
we
be
nowe
in
/
which
is
called
the
Layre
/
and
here
they
mette
with
them
of
Lourde
.
And
whan
eche
of
them
sawe
other
/
they
a
lyghted
and
made
them
redy
to
fyght
/
And
so
came
eche
agaynst
other
cryeng
their
cryes
/
saynt
George
Lourd
and
the
other
our
lady
of
Bigore
.
and
so
there
eche
came
to
other
with
hande
strokes
/
foyninge
with
their
speares
eche
at
other
a
great
space
/
and
as
I
herde
reported
of
them
that
were
ther
/
at
the
first
brunt
there
was
none
ouerthrowen
.
And
so
whan
eche
of
them
had
a
great
space
foyned
eche
at
other
/
they
caste
downe
their
speares
and
toke
their
axes
and
gaue
therwith
eche
to
other
great
and
horrible
strokes
/
euery
man
with
his
matche
/
and
in
that
maner
they
fought
toguyder
more
than
two
houres
:
And
whan
any
of
them
had
fought
so
long
that
they
lacked
brethe
/
than
they
wolde
fayre
and
easely
departe
/
and
go
sytte
downe
by
a
dyke
syde
that
was
full
of
water
/
and
put
of
their
bassenettes
and
refresshe
them selfe
.
And
whan
they
were
well
refresshed
/
they
putte
on
their
bassenetes
and
retourned
agayne
to
fight
.
I
beleue
there
was
nat
suche
a
busynesse
nor
a
batayle
so
well
fought
(
sithe
the
batayle
that
was
in
Bretayne
of
.xxx.
agaynst
as
many
)
As
this
was
here
at
Martheras
in
Bigore
.
Thus
they
fought
hande
to
hande
/
and
Erualton
of
saynt
Colombe
was
at
the
poynt
to
haue
ben
disconfyted
by
asquyer
of
the
countre
called
Guyllonet
of
Salynges
.
This
Erualton
of
saint
Colombe
had
a
varlet
/
who
stode
by
and
sawe
the
batayle
and
fought
nat
/
for
ther
was
none
that
sayd
any
thyng
to
hym
.
And
whan
he
sawe
his
maister
almost
at
vttraunce
he
was
sorie
/
and
so
came
to
his
maister
and
tooke
his
axe
out
of
his
handes
and
sayd
.
Erualton
/
go
your
waye
and
rest
you
/
ye
can
no
lengar
fight
.
And
than
he
with
the
axe
wente
to
the
squyer
&
gaue
him
suche
a
stroke
on
the
heed
that
he
was
astonied
and
had
nere
hande
fallen
to
the
erthe
.
Whanne
Guyllonet
felte
hym selfe
stryken
he
was
sore
displeased
/
and
came
agaynst
the
varlet
to
haue
stryken
hym
/
but
the
varlet
stepte
vnder
the
stroke
and
enbrased
the
squyer
/
who
was
sore
traueyled
with
so
long
fightyng
/
&
so
the
varlet
ouerthrewe
hym
wrestlyng
vnder
hym
.
than
the
varlet
sayde
.
I
shall
slee
the
/
without
thou
wylte
yelde
thy selfe
to
my
maister
.
Who
is
thy
mayster
quod
the
squyer
?
Erualton
of
saynt
Colombe
quod
the
varlette
/
with
whome
thou
haste
fought
all
this
season
.
The
squyer
sawe
that
he
had
nat
the
vauntage
/
but
that
he
was
vnder
the
varlette
/
who
had
a
daggar
redy
to
stryke
hym
.
So
he
yelded
hym
to
rendre
his
body
prisoner
at
Lourde
within
fyftene
dayes
after
/
rescues
or
no
rescues
.
This
seruyce
dyd

varlet

his
maister
.
And
sir
Iohn
/
I
assure
you
/
ther
were
many
feates
of
armes
done
and
many
ouerthrowen
and
taken

/
some

They

By

and
ther

and
on

Than
ceased

of
bothe
parties
/
for
they
were
so

that
they
coude
scante

Some

They

beholde

&
with
those
wordes
we
came
to
the
Crosse

and
there
we
sayd
for

a
Pater

.
By

But

They

And

/
they
had
no

/
but
to

.
And
I

trouthe
/
there
was
as
sore
a
fight
and
as

endured
or

/
than
that
at
Martheras

and
there
Erualton
of

/
He

He

Palatyne

the
Bourge

Finally

thre
saued

Thus
became
of

aduenture
:
They

neuer
loste

dyde
than
:
They
were
courtesly

For

Therfore

Ah

It

a
thre
yere
that

as

So
it

/
the
Erle

and
a

And

and
the

and

And
after

and
wente

stayres
of

The

:
And
whan

galarye

than
Erualton

Than

Wherof
the

and
so
hadde
all

strength
/
howe
he
alone
came
vp

Asse

I

And
in

Thanne

But

ANone

And

Berry
had
the
gouernyng
ouer
them
/
they
were
sore
abasshed

and
specially
they

for
they
knewe
well
that
the

was
a
sore
taker
of
golde
and
syluer

and
a
sore
oppressar
of

Also

but
in

that
I

the

was

there
/
he
was

They

And
they

so
that

Than
they

Tholousin
:
and
also
he
was
desyred
of
other
townes
in

they
desyred
hym
bycause
they
knewe

and
also
they

loued
hym

for
he
had
been
euer

Thus
he

so
that
the

howe
they
of
Languedoke
were

and
had
taken

.
And
the

Berry
who
was
souerayne
there
/
toke
therat
great
displeasure
:
and
had
th
erle
of
Foiz

bycause
he
medled

wherby
he
maynteyned
them
of
Tholous
/
styll
in

Than
he
sente
men

but
they
were
fiersly
driuen
backe
agayne
by

that
wheder

no
they
were
fayne
to

backe
/
orels
they
had
loste
more
than
they
shulde
haue
wonne
.
With
this
the
duke
of
Berrey
was
sore
displeased
with
the
erle
of
Foiz
/
&
he
sayd
:
Howe
th
erle
of
Foiz
was
the
most
presumptuous
&
proudest
knight
of
all
the
worlde
:
The
duke
as
than
coude
suffre
no
good
to
be
spoken
of
hym
/
howe
be
it
he
made
hym
no
warre
/
for
the
erle
of
Foiz
had
alwayes
his
townes
and
castelles
so
well
prouyded
for
/
that
none
durste
entre
in
to
his
lande
.
But
whan
the
duke
of
Berry
came
in
to
Languedocke
than
he
left
his
rule
/
for
he
wolde
than
no
lengar
exercyse
agaynste
the
duke
/
but
the
displeasure
rested
styll
after
a
certayne
space
:
But
nowe
shall
I
shewe
you
by
what
meanes
the
peace
was
norisshed
bytwene
them
.
IT
was
a
ten
yere
paste
that
the
lady
Ellyanour
of
Comynges
/
as
nowe
countesse
of
Bouloyne
/
and
nere
cosyn
to
th
erle
of
Foiz
/
and
right
enherytour
to
the
countie
of
Comynges
/
thoughe
that
the
erle
of
Armynake
hadde
it
in
possession
.
She
came
to
Ortaise
to
th
erle
of
Foiz
/
and
brought
with
her
a
yonge
doughter
of
thre
yere
of
age
.
Th
erle
her
cosyn
made
her
good
chere
/
and
he
demaunded
her
of
her
busynesse●and
wheder
she
was
goynge
.
Sir
quod
she
/
I
am
goynge
in
to
Arragon
to
myne
vncle
and
Aunte
/
the
erle
of
Vrgell
/
and
there
I
purpose
to
abyde
:
For
I
haue
great
displeasure
to
abyde
with
my
husbande
sir
Iohan
of
Boloyne
/
for
I
thought
he
wolde
haue
recouered
myne
enherytaunce
of
Comynges
fro
the
erle
of
Armynake
/
who
kepeth
it
fro
me
:
And
he
hath
my
suster
in
prisone
/
and
he
wyll
do
no
thyng
in
the
mater
:
He
is
so
softe
a
knight
that
he
wyll
do
nothynge
/
but
take
his
ease
and
eate
and
drinke
/
and
to
spende
that
he
hath
folysshlye
:
and
I
thynke
whan
he
is
erle
/
he
wyll
take
his
pleasure
more
.
Therfore
I
wyll
no
lengar
abyde
with
hym
/
and
I
haue
brought
with
me
my
doughter
/
whom
I
wyll
delyuer
in
to
your
handes
/
prayenge
you
to
kepe
and
to
norisshe
her
vp
/
for
I
trust
by
reason
of
her
lygnage
/
ye
wyll
nat
fayle
thus
to
do
/
for
I
haue
hoope
in
you
that
ye
wyll
kepe
her
.
I
had
moche
payne
to
gette
her
awaye
out
of
the
countrey
/
and
out
of
the
handes
of
my
husbande
her
father
:
But
bycause
I
take
them
of
Armynake
myne
aduersaries
and
yours●
who
wolde
gladly
steale
my
doughter
awaye
/
bycause
she
is
enherytour
of
Comynges
/
therfore
I
haue
brought
her
vnto
you
.
Wherfore
sir
/
I
requyre
you
fayle
me
nat
at
this
busynesse
:
And
I
am
sure
her
father
my
husbande
whan
he
knoweth
that
I
haue
lefte
her
with
you
/
he
wyll
be
right
ioyfull
▪
For
he
hath
sayd
often
tymes
to
me
/
that
this
his
doughter
shulde
put
hym
to
great
doute
.
And
whan
the
erle
had
well
herde
the
wordes
of
the
lady
Elyanour
his
cosyn
he
was
right
ioyfull
:
And
ymagined
in
him selfe
/
howe
that
childe
after
shuld
do
hym
some
pleasure
/
as
by
the
meanes
of
her
mother
/
to
haue
a
ferme
peace
with
his
enemyes
/
or
els
to
marry
her
in
so
highe
a
place
/
that
his
ennemyes
shulde
doute
hym
therby
:
Than
he
answered
the
lady
and
said
.
Madame
and
cosyn
/
all
that
ye
desyre
I
shall
do
it
with
right
a
good
wyl
/
for
I
am
bounde
therto
by
lynage
:
and
as
for
your
doughter
my
cosyn
I
shall
kepe
her
as
well
/
as
though
she
were
myne
owne
proper
chylde
.
Sir
quod
she
/
I
thanke
you
.
Thus
the
yong
doughter
of
Bouloyne
abode
with
the
erle
of
Foiz
at
Ortaise
/
and
she
neuer
departed
thens
sithe
:
and
the
lady
her
mother
went
to
Arragon
.
She
hath
been
sithe
ones
or
twyse
tose
her
doughter
/
but
she
neuer
desyred
to
haue
her
agayne
/
for
th
erle
kepte
her
as
well
as
if
she
were
his
owne
chylde
.
And
to
the
purpose
as
to
the
meane
of
the
peace
that
I
shewed
you
/
the
erle
ymagined
to
gette
by
her
/
the
loue
agayne
of
the
duke
of
Berrey
:
And
as
nowe
at
this
present
tyme
the
duke
of
Berry
hath
gret
desyre
to
be
marryed
:
and
I
thynke
by
that
I
herde
at
Auygnon
by
the
Pope
/
who
is
cosyn
germayne
to
the
ladyes
father
.
He
shewed
me
howe

of
Berrey

to
haue

.
Ah

Mary

for

if

wyll
sende
me
the
grace
to

to
the

of
Valencennes
/
where
as
I
was
borne
.
But
sir
/
I
am
sore
displeased
of
one
thynge
.
What
is
that
qd
he
?
I
shall
shewe
you
.
By
my
faithe
that
so
hyghe
and
valyant
a
prince
as
the
Erle
of
Foiz
is
/
shulde
be
without
laufull
issue
.
sir
quod
the
knight
/
if
he
had

as

/
he
shulde
be
the
most
ioyouse
prince
of
the
worlde
/
and
so
wolde
be

Why
sir

quod
I

Nay
sir
qd

/
the
Vycount

the
castell
Bone

.
Is
he
a
valyant
man
in

quod
I

Nay
be
my
faythe
sir
quod
he
/
and
therfore
the
Erle
loueth
hym
nat

and
thynketh
to
make
his

sonnes

who
be
right
valyant

&
thynketh

wherby

Sir
quod
I
/
it
maye
well

Howe
be
it
the
thyng
is
nat
reasonable
/
that
bastardes
shulde

made
herytours
of

Wherfore
nat

Se

and

It

Sir
quod
I
/
all
this
might
well
be

ther
is
no

that

but
they

shal
be
euer

and
stryfe

I
pray

I
ensure

a
marueylous
warre

for

Sir
aunciently
about
a

This

for
he
discended
out

:
And

The

whan

he
assembled

&
wrote

There

and
in

he
dyd

He

And
whan

than
he
wolde
sende
it
to
the

/
bruely
all
this
I
consydred

aduised
.
And
or
I
came

I
had
ben
in
many
courtes
of
kynges

dukes
/
princes
/
erles
and

but
I
was

nor
ther
was
none

reioysed
dedes

There
was
sene
in

court
/
knightes
and
squyers
of

goyng
vp

downe

All

all

of
tidyngis
of
euery

and

ther
might
be
herde
for
out
of
euery

there
was
resort
/
for
the
valyantnesse
of
this
erle
.
Ther
I
was
enfourmed
of
the
moost
parte
of
the
dedes
of
armes
that
was
done
in
Spayne
/
in
Portyngale
/
in

in
Nauar
/
in
Englande
/
&
in
Scotlande
and
in
the
fronters
and
lymitacions
of
Langue
docke
:
For
I
sawe
come
thyder
to
th
erle
while
I
was
there
/
knightes
and
squyers
of
all
nacyons
:
And
so
I
was
enformed
by
them
&
by
the
erle
him selfe
of
all
thynges
that
I
demaunded
.
Ther
I
enq̄red
howe
Gascon
th
erles
son
died
for
ser
Espayn
of
Leon
wolde
nat
shewe
me
any
thing
therof
.
&
somoch
I
enq̄red
/
that
an
auncient
squyer
&
a
notable
māshewed
the
mater
to
me
/
&
began
thus
.
True
it
is
quod
he
/
that
the
erle
of
Foiz
and
my
lady
of
Foiz
his
wife
agreeth
nat
well
toguyder
/
nor
haue
nat
done
of
a
long
season
.
And
the
discorde
bytwene
them
first
moued
by
the
kyng
of
Nauar
/
who
was
brother
to
the
lady
:
For
the
kyng
of
Nauar
pledged
him
selfe
for
the
lorde
Dalbret
/
whom
the
erle
of
Foiz
had
in
prisone
/
for
the
some
of
fyftie
thousande
frankes
.
And
the
erle
of
Foiz
/
who
knewe
that
the
kyng
of
Nauarr
was
craftie
&
malycious
/
in
the
beginnyng
wolde
nat
trust
hym
/
wherwith
the
countesse
of
Foiz
had
great
displeasur
and
indignacyon
agaynst
the
erle
her
husbande
/
&
sayd
to
hym
.
Sir
/
ye
repute
but
small
honour
in
the
kyng
of
Nauar
my
brother
/
whan
ye
wyll
nat
trust
hym
for
fyftie
.
M.
frankes
/
thoughe
ye
haue
no
more
of
the
armynakes
nor
of
the
labrisyence
than
ye
haue
/
it
ought
to
suffyce
.
&
also
ser
/
ye
knowe
well
ye
shulde
assigne
out
my
dower
/
whiche
mounteth
to
fyftie
thousande
frankes
/
whiche
ye
shulde
put
in
to
the
handes
of
my
brother
the
kyng
of
Nauarr
:
Wherfore
sir
/
ye
can
nat
be
yuell
payed
.
Dame
quod
he
ye
saye
trouthe
/
but
if
I
thought
that
the
kyng
of
Nauarr
wolde
stoppe
the
payment
for
that
cause
/
the
lorde
Dalbret
shulde
neuer
haue
gone
oute
of
Ortayse
/
and
so
I
shulde
haue
ben
payed
to
the
last
penny
.
And
sithe
ye
desyre
it
I
wyll
do
it
/
nat
for
the
loue
of
you
but
for
the
loue
of
my
sonne
.
So
by
these
wordes
and
by
the
kyng
of
Nauars
oblygacion
/
who
became
dettoure
to
the
erle
of
Foiz
/
the
lorde
Dalbret
was
delyuered
quyte
and
became
frenche
/
&
was
maryed
in
Fraunce
/
to
the
suffer
of
the
duke
of
Burbone
and
payed
at
his
ease
to
the
king
of
Nauar
the
some
of
fyftie
thousande
frankes
for
his
raunsome
:
For
the
whiche
some
the
kyng
was
bounde
to
th
erle
of
Foiz
/
but
he
wolde
nat
sende
it
to
the

.
Than
the
erle
of
Foiz
sayd
to
his
wyfe
Dame
/
ye

to
Nauarre
to
the

the
lady
answered
/
howe
she
was
redy
to
go
at
his
commaundement
.
And
so
she
departed
and
rode
to
Panpylone
to

/
who
receyued
her
with
moche
ioye

Th

This
thynge
touched
the

and

For
on

Than

Than

Than

And

These

THe

And

The

And

The

/
whan
they
came
to

Gascone

And
so

and
went

and
sayd
.
Sir

Of

withoute

And

And

The

And

possession
of
all

and
as

had
nothynge

And
it
was
sayd
to
this
lady
/
who
was
countesse
of
Bisquay
/
after
the
dyssease
of
her

He

that

And
for
this
cause
/
the
lady
Florens
countesse
of
Bisquay
/
departed
out
of
her
countre
with
a
smalle
company
/
as
the
common
vsage
is
:
to
flye
fro

as
nere
as

So
she
went
in
to
the
countrey
of
Bascles
and
passed
throughe

/
and
so
came
hyder
to
Ortayse

The

reteyned

and
so
she
abode
with
the

of
Carase
/
a

The

loued

▪
And
so
this
sir
Peter
had
by
this
lady
a
sonne
and
a
doughter
/
but
they
be
with
their
mother
in
Castell
/
who
be
as

but
yong

therfore
the
lady
wolde
nat

them
with
their
father
.
Ah
saynt
Mary
quod
I
/
howe
dyde
sir
Peter
of
Bierne
take
this
fantasy
?
First
that
he
dare
nat
slepe
alone
in
his
chambre
/
and
that
whan
he
is
a
slepe
/
ryseth
thus
and
maketh
all
that
be
synesse
/
they
are
thynges
to
be
marueyled
at
.
By
my
faithe
quod
the
squyer
/
he
hath
ben
often
demaunded
therof
/
but
he
saythe
he
can
nat
tell
wherof
it
cometh
.
The
first
tyme
that
euer
he
dyde
so
/
was
the
night
after
that
he
had
ben
on
a
day
a
huntynge
in
the
wodes
of
Bisquay
/
and
chased
a
marueylous
great
Beare
:
and
the
beare
had
slayne
four
of
his
houndes
/
and
hurt
dyuers
/
so
that
none
durst
come
nere
him
.
than
this
sir
Peter
toke
a
swerde
of
Burdeanx
and
came
in
great
yre
/
for
bycause
of
his
houndes
/
and
assayles
the
beare
and
fought
longe
with
hym
/
and
was
in
great
parell
/
and
tooke
great
payne
or
he
coulde
ouercome
hym
.
Finally
he
slewe
the
beare
/
and
than
retourned
to
his
lodgyng
to
the
castell
of
Lāguedon
in
Bisquay
/
&
made
the
beare
to
be
brought
with
him
.
Euery
man
had
marueyle
of
the
greatnesse
of
the
beest
and
of
the
hardnesse
of
the
knight
/
howe
he
durst
assayle
the
beare
.
And
whanne
the
countesse
of
Bisquayes
wyfe
sawe
the
beare
/
she
fell
in
a
sowne
and
had
great
dolour
/
and
so
she
was
borne
in
to
her
chambre
/
and
so
all
that
day
/
the
night
after
/
and
the
nexte
day
she
was
sore
disconforted
/
and
wolde
nat
shewe
what
she
ayled
.
On
the
thirde
dayeshe
sayd
to
her
husbande
:
Sir
/
I
shall
nat
be
hoole
/
tyll
I
haue
been
a
pylgrimage
at
saynt
Iames.
Sir
/
I
praye
you
gyue
me
leaue
to
go
thyder
/
and
to
haue
with
me
my
sonne
and
Adrian
my
doughter
:
her
husbande
agreed
therto
.
She
toke
all
her
golde
/
towels
/
and
treasure
with
her
/
for
she
thought
neuer
to
retourne
agayne
/
wher
of
her
husbande
toke
no
hede
.
So
the
lady
dyde
her
pylgrimage
/
and
made
an
errande
to
go
and
se
the
kynge
of
Castell
her
cosyn
/
and
the
quene
.
They
made
her
good
chere
/
and
ther
she
is
yet
/
and
wyll
nat
retourne
agayne
/
nor
sende
her
chyldren
.
And
so
thus
the
next
night
that
this
sir
Peter
had
thus
chased
the
beare
and
slayne
hym
/
while
he
slept
in
his
bedde
/
this

And
it
was
said
/
that
the
countesse

as
she
sawe
the
beare
/
that

And
in

.
Thou
chasest
me
and
I
wolde
the
no
hurte
/
therfore

dethe
.
Of
this
the
lady
had
remembraunce
/
whan
she
sawe
the
beare
/
by
that
she
had
herde
her
father
saye
before
:
and
she
remembred
well
howe
kynge
dan
Peter
strake
of
her
fathers
heed
/
without
any
cause
/
&
in
lykewise
she
feared
her
husbande
.
And
yet
she
say
the
and
maynteyneth
/
that
he
shall
dye
of
an
yuell
dethe
/
and
that
he
dothe

NOwe

for
thus
it
is
/
&
thus

Howe

&
I

on
the
great
marueyle

/
I
beleue

and
in

and
in

And

And

First

They

was
taken

raunsomed
to

Of

Than

came

desyred

We

By

For

Iohn

Than

but
first
I

Than

Than
I

And

the
towne
/
and
hydde
ourselfe
behynde
great
cockes
of

that
were

for

&
whan

/
we

And
so

One

For
as

the
gentylmen
of

/
of

/
of

/
and

were
sore
traueyled

and
ouer
layde
with
the
warre
.
they
were
so
taken
and
raunsomed
that
they
doughted

warre
/
For
there
was
none
of
the
great
lordes
of
Fraunce
that

and
had
no

:
for
the
men
of

were
without
corage
to

.
And
so
it
was

that

So
that

Thus

abydyng
Mighelmas

Than

in

(
as

but
as
than
there
was
truse
bytwene
Fraunce

to

mydsomer

but
the

also

they
desyred
to

of

They
desyred

So
at
this
counsayle
at
London
there
were
many
counsayls
/
as
well
for
the
flemmynges
as
for
Portyngale

who
made

The

drewe
to
that
parte
that
he
might
haue
a
nombre
of
men
of

and
archers

to

Portyngale
.
And
he
shewed
the

howe
they
were
all
bounde
by
faythe
and

to

whan

&
it
apered
by

and
moreouer
/
the

complayned

howe
they
of

dyd
hym

his

wronge

in
that
whan
his

th
erle
of
Cambridge
was

/
that
they
kepte

For
he
sayd
/
it
was
ꝓmysed
to
sende

thider
two
thousande
speares
and
as
many
archers

&
nothyng
was
done
/
Wherby
their
quarell
of
the
right
of
their
enherytaunce
was
greatly
hyndred
.
The
dukes
wordes
were
well
harde
/
as
it
was
reason
/
And
the
moost
notablest
persons
of
that
counsayle
said
/
howe
he
had
right
to
speke
as
he
dyd
howe
be
it
they
sayd
/
that
the
busynesses
of
the

that

/
must
first
be
ꝓferred
.
Some
wolde
that
his

shulde

ben
accomplysshed

and
some

said
/
that
it
shulde
be
a
great
outrage
to
sende
out
of
the

two
thousande
men
of
warre
&
four
thousande
archers
/
to
so
long
a
iourney
as
in

Portugale
/
for
the
fortunes
of
the
see
be
daungerous
and
the
ayre
of
Portyngale
marueylous
hote
/
sayeng
/
that
if
the
realme
of
Englande
shulde
lese
suche
a
company
/
it
shulde
be
a
domage
irrecuparable
:
Howe
be
it
all
thynges
alledged
/
finally
it
was
ordayned
/
that
the
duke
of
Lancastre
shulde
passe
the
See
with
seuyn
hundred
speares
and
four
thousand
archers
/
and
euery
man
payed
for
a
quarter
of
a
yere
.
Howe
be
it
they
reserued
/
that
yf
any
accydent
touchynge
the
realme
of
Englande
by
the
meanes
of
Fraunce
or
Scotlande
/
shulde
happen
to
falle
before
their
departure
in
to
Portingale
/
than
to
tary
.
The
duke
agreed
therto
sythe
he
sawe
it
wolde
be
none
otherwyse
:
And
than
as
ye
haue
herde
before
/
whanne
the

of
Lancastre
was
redy
with
all

at

&
that
the

were
retourned
and
had
brought

Portyngale
/
howe
the
duke
of
Lancastre
was
comyng
with
suche
a
nombre
of
men
of
warre
/
Than
the
portyngalois
had
great
ioye
.
So
it
fortuned
than
that
a
lette
fell
in
Englande
/
whiche
taryed
the
duke
of
Lancastre
for
a
season

Than

Than

These

So

the●
come

sir

rode

ryght

brought

Raynolde
Lymosin
to

well

dyde

Thus
these

rested

the
kyng
laye
styll
at

The

a

thousande

And
surely
if

By
my
faithe
quod
the
kyng
/
ye
speke
well
and
truely
.
In
this
warre
&
other
/
I
shall
vse
fro
hens
forthe
after
your
counsayle
:
for
the
kyng
my
father
&
I
also
/
haue
founde
alwayes
in
youre
countreis
great
trouthe
and
faythfulnesse
.
And
god
haue
mercy
of
sir
Bertram
of
Clesquyes
soule
/
for
he
was
a
true
knyght
/
by
whome
in
his
tyme
we
had
many
recoueraunses
/
and
good
iourneys
.
THe
wordes
and
counsails
that
the
kyng
had
of
them
of
Fraunce
and
of
Bierne
/
were
anone
knowen
among
the
lordes
&
knightes
of
Spaygne
/
wherwith
they
were
sore
displeased
/
for
two
causes
.
One
/
bycause
it
semed
to
them
/
that
their
kyng
had
more
trust
and
confydence
in
straungers
/
than
in
them
who
were
his
liege
men
/
and
had
crowned
hym
kyng
.
the
seconde
was
/
in
that
they
of
Fraunce
counsayled
the
kyng
to
kepe
styll
his
warre
/
and
they
felyng
them selfe
so
wery
of
the
warre
:
&
so
spake
among
them selfe
in
dyuers
maners
/
nat
openlye
but
priuely
.
They
wolde
saye
the
kyng
coude
make
no
warre
but
by
the
frenchmen
/
and
in
lykewise
no
more
coude
his
father
.
so
they
had
great
enuy
at
the
frenche
men
/
whiche
well
appered
:
For
whan
the
frenche
varlettes
went
out
a
forragyng
/
if
the
spaynisshe
forrengers
were
stronger
/
than
they
wolde
take
their
forage
fro
them
and
beate
them
and
mayme
them
/
so
that
complayntes
came
therof
to
the
kynge
/
and
he
blamed
therfore
his
marshall
sir
Raynolde
Lymosyn
/
and
sayde
.
Why
haue
ye
nat
prouyded
for
this
mater
?
The
marshall
excused
hym
and
sayde
:
As
god
might
helpe
hym
/
he
knewe
nothynge
therof
/
and
that
he
wolde
prouyde
a
remedy
fro
thens
forthe
.
Incontynent
he
stablysshed
men
of
armes
to
kepe
the
feldes
/
that
the
frenche
forrengers
rode
at
their
suretie
/
and
also
he
made
a
crye
and
a
commaundement
/
that
euery
man
that
had
any
vitayle
or
prouision
to
sell
that
they
shulde
bringe
it
to
the
felde
before
saint
yrayns
/
and
they
shuld
haue
a
prise
reasonable
for
euery
thyng
.
So
than
the
straungers
had
largely
their
parte
/
for
the
kyng
ordayned
that
they
shulde
be
serued
before
all
other
/
wherof
the
spanyardes
had
great
dispyte
.
So
it
was
the
same
weke
/
that
the
kyng
of
Castell
departed
fro
the
siege
of
Lixbone
:
thre
great
shyppes
of
men
of
warre
and
Englysshe
archers
aryued
at
Lixbone
/
they
were
to
the
nombre
of
fyue
hundred
one
&
other
:
And
the
thirde
parte
of
them
were
of
the
companyons
aduenturers
/
hauyng
no
wages
of
no
man
.
some
were
of
Calys
/
of
Chierburge
/
of
Brest
in
Bretayne
of
Mortaygne
in
Poytou
:
They
had
herde
of
the
warre
bytwene
Castell
and
Portyngale
/
&
they
came
to
Burdeux
and
ther
assembled
and
sayd
.
Let
vs
go
at
aduenture
in
to
Portyngale
we
shall
fynde
them
there
that
wyll
receyue
vs
and
sette
vs
awarke
.
Sir
Iohan
Harpedan
/
who
as
than
was
marshall
of
Burdeux
/
counsayled
them
greatly
therto
/
for
he
wolde
nat
they
shulde
abyde
in
burdeloys
/
for
they
might
ther
haue
done
more
hurte
than
good
/
bycause
they
were
companyons
aduenturers
/
and
had
nothyng
to
lese
.
Of
them
that
arryued
at
Lixbon
I
can
nat
name
all
.
There
were
thre
squyers
englysshe
that
were
their
capitayns
:
One
was
called
Northbery
/
and
another
Morbery
/
and
the
thirde
Huguelyn
of
Harcerell
.
And
there
were
none
of
them
paste
the
age
of
fyftie
yere
/
and
good
men
of
armes
/
&
well
vsed
in
the
feates
of
war●
.
Of
the
comyng
of
these
Englysshe
men
they
of
Lixbone
were
right
gladde
/
and
so
was
the
kyng
of
Portyngale
who
wolde
se
them
and
so
they
went
to
the
palays
where
the
kyng
was
/
who
made
them
great
chere
:
And
demaunded
of
them
/
if
the
duke
of
Lancastre
had
sent
them
thyder
.
Sir
quod
Northbery
/
it
is
a
longe
season
sythe
he
had
any
knowledge
of
vs
or
we
of
hym
.
Sir
/

of

/
sekynge
for

/
here

some

come
to

the
towne
of
Calays
.
By
my
faythe
quod
the
kynge
/
you
and
they
bothe
are
right
hartely
welcome
/
your
comyng
dothe
me
great
good
and
ioye
/
and
shortely
I
shall
sette
you

warke
.
We
haue
ben
here
inclosed
a
gret
season
/
so
that
we
be
wery
therof
/
but
nowe
we
wyll
be
at
large
in
the
felde
/
as
well
as

Sir
quod

we
desyre
nothynge
els
:
and
sir
/
we
desyre
you
that
shortely
we
maye
se
youre
enemyes
.
The
kynge
made
them
a
dyner
in
his
palays
at
Lixbone
/
and
commaunded
that
they
shulde
all
be
lodged
in
the
cytie
at
their
ease
/
and
to
be
payed
for
their
wages
for
thre
monethes
.
Than
the
kyng
set
his
clerkes
awarke
and
made
letters
/
and
sente
them
ouer
all
his
realme
/
commaundynge

/
bycause
they
had
crowned
kynge
/
a
bastarde
/
and
spake
great
wordis
ther
agaynst
priuely
:
And
bycause
of
the
great
trouble
and
dyfference
that
the
kynge
of
Castell
and
his

sawe
in

of

and
that
moche
of

was

malencolyous
:
He

sir
quod
the
kynge
ye
saye
true
/
I
wyll
haue
none
other
counsayle
but
this
/
for
this
is
profytable
for
vs
.
THus
departed
that
counsayle
/
&
than
it
was
ordayned
that
within
thre
dayes
/
euery
man
shulde
drawe
in
to
the
feldis
and
there
to
take
some
grounde
to
abyde
their
enemyes
.
Those
thre
dayes
they
kepte
the
gates
so
close
of
Lixbone
/
that
nother
man
nor
woman
coude
issue
out
/
for
they
wolde
nat
that
their
enemyes
shulde
be
preuy
of
their
entensyon
.
&
whan
the
Englysshmen
that
were
there
vnderstode
that
they
shulde
issue
oute
and
drawe
towardes
saynt
yrayns
to
loke
on
their
enemyes
/
they
were
ioyfull
.
Than
euery
man
made
hym
redy
/
and
the
archers
dressed
redy
their
bowes
and
arowes
and
all
other
/
in
euery
thynge
that
they
neded
.
And
on
a
thursdaye
they
departed
out
of
Lixbone
/
and
that
day
they
lodged
by
a
lytell
riuer
syde
a
two
leages
fro
Lixbone
/
with
their
faces
towarde
saynt
yrayns
.
And
euery
man
sayde
with
good
herte
and
wyll
/
that
they
wolde
neuer
retourne
to
Lixbone
/
tyll
they
had
sene
their
enemyes
:
Saye●g
/
howe
it
was
better
for
them
that
they
shulde
go
and
requyre
batayle
of
their
enemyes
/
rather
than
they
shulde
come
on
them
.
For
they
said
/
they
had
sene
and
herde
dyuers
ensamples
of
requyrers
and
nat
requyrers
:
and
euer
of
fyue
/
foure
hath
optayned
/
and
in
a
maner
all
the
vyctories
that
the
englysshmen
haue
had
in
Fraunce
/
they
were
euer
the
requyrers
.
For
naturally
the
secars
for
batayle
are
more
strongar
and
couragyous
in
assaylinge
/
than
the
defendars
be
.
Of
this
opynyon
they
were
nere
all
and
some
of
the
burgesses
of
Lixbone
sayde
.
We
were
at
Bruges
in
Flaunders
whan
the
gauntoyse
came
before
the
towne
/
and
requyred
batayle
agaynst
the
Erle
of
Flaunders
/
and
all
his
puissaunce
.
And
we
knowe
well
that
Philyppe
Dartuell
/
Petre
de
Boyse
/
Iohan
Clyquetiell
/
Fraunces
Atreman
and
Peter
le
Myttier
/
who
as
than
were
capitayns
of
the
gauntoyse
.
They
brought
oute
of
Gaunte
no
mo
but
seuyn
thousande
men
/
&
yet
they
requyred
batayle
of
their
enemyes
/
&
ouer
came
and
disconfyted
a
.xi.
thousande
.
This
is
true
/
and
this
was
without
any
treason
/
but
by
clene
fortune
of
batayle
.
This
was
done
on
a
saturdaye
a
leage
fro
Bruges
/
as
we
herde
reported
the
nexte
day
whan
they
had
wonne

of

.
So
thus
they
dyde
putte
in
aduenture
/
outher
to
wynne
or
to
lese
:
and
thus
must
we
do
if
we
thynke
to
haue
any
good
spede
.
Thus
these
lixbonoyse
that
thursday
spake
one
to

:

whan
the

enformed
of
their

folowyng
the
ryuer
and
the
playne
countre
/
for

that
folowed
them
/
&
so

that
daye
four

.
That
day

where
he
laye

.
The
kyng
answered
/
I
wyll
it
be
so
.
Than
there
were
two
knightes
ordayned
to
go
and
sertche
euery
company
/
and
to
demaunde
if
any
were
abasshed
to
abyde
the
batayle
.
The
messangers
reported
to
the
kyng
whan
they
retourned
/
that
they
coude
fynde
no
man
but
that
was
redy
to
abyde
the
aduenture
of
batayle
.
It
is
so
moche
the
better
quod
the
kyng
.
Than
the
kyng
caused
all
that
wolde
be
made
knightes
to
come
before
hym
/
&
he
wolde
gyue
them
the
order
of
knighthod
/
in
the
name
of
god
&
of
saynt
George
.
and
as
I
vnderstande
ther
were
made
a
threscore
newe
knightis
/
wherof
the
kyng
had
great
ioye
/
and
dyd
sette
them
in
the
front
of
the
batayle
/
and
sayd
to
them
.
sirs
the
order
of
knighthode
is
as
noble
and
highe
/
as
any
herte
can
thynke
.
and
there
is
no
knight
that
ought
to
be
a
cowarde
nor
shamefull
/
but
ought
to
be
fierse
and
hardy
as
a
lyon
/
whan
his
helme
is
on
his
heed
and
seyth
his
ennemyes
.
&
bycause
I
wolde
ye
shulde
this
day
shewe
prowes
/
wher
it
ought
to
be
shewed
:
therfore
I
ordayne
you

of
the

.
&

do
so

maye
haue
honour

otherwyse
your

&
euery
knight
answered
as
his
tourne
fell
/
as
he
passed
by
the
kynge
.
Sir
/
with
the
pleasure
of
god
we
shall
so
do
/
to
haue
your

and
loue
Thus
the
portyng
alois
ordred
them selfe
/
and
fortifyed
them
besyde
the
churche
of
Iuberoth
in
Portyngale
.
That

there
was
no
Englisshman

be
made
knight
/
yet
they
were
desyred
of
the
kyng

/
but
they
excused
them selfe
for
that
day
.

NOwe

And

Sir

Than
the

of
Fraunce

and
demaunded

They

For

Sayeng

sirs

howe
can
ye

more
sage
in

or
more
vsed

than

Howe
can
ye
deuyse
any
thyng
beyond
them
/
that
shulde
be
of
any
valure
?
for
they
haue
done
nothyng
els
all
their
life
dayes

but
traueyll
fro
realme
to
realme
to
fynde
and
to

Howe
can
you
or
durst
you
deuise
any

agaynst
their

whiche
are
so
noble
and
so
highe
for
to
kepe
the

wherin
ye

For
ye
haue
there
your

and
your

and
they
haue
nothyng
there
but
nowe
al
onely
their
bodyes
/
whiche
they
wyll
firste
and
formast
put
in
aduenture
:
and
so
they
haue
desyred
of
the
kyng
to
haue
the
first
batayle
/
and
the
kyng
hath
graunted
them
.
Than
regarde
their
great
and
noble
courage
/
whan
they
wyll
first
of
all
aduenture
them selfe
for
you
.
It
shulde
seme
that
ye
haue
enuy

&
that
ye
wolde
that
profyte
nor
honoure
shulde
come

whiche
ye
ought
nat
to
do

but
to
be
all
of
one
accorde
and
wyll
.
And
also
/
by
you
and
by
youre
counsayle
/
the
kyng
hath
ben
here
in
the
feldes
longe
at
great
cost
and
charge
/
for
hym
&
for
all
his
/
and
layne
at
siege
before
Lixbone
/
&
coude
neuer
haue
the
aduenture
of
batayle
tyll
nowe
with
hym
that
writeth
hym selfe
kyng
of
Portyngale
/
wherin
he
hath
no
right
/
for
he
is
a
bastarde
and
nat
dyspensed
with
all
:
and
now
he
is
in
the
felde
with
suche
frendes
as
he
hath
/
whiche
is
no
great
nombre
.
And
if
nowe
by
crafte
he
shulde
agayne
withdrawe
hym selfe
and
nat
fought
with
all
/
ye
put
your selfe
than
in
aduenture
/
that
all
the
hole
hoost
shulde
ryse
on
you
&
slee
you
/
or
els
that
the
kyng
shulde
repute
you
for
traytours
/
and
strike
of
your
heedes
and
cōfyske
all
your
landes
.
Therfore
I
se
no
better
way
for
you
than
to
be
styll
/
and
let
them
alone
that
hath
sene
more
than
you
in
suche
busynesses
/
for
ye
neuer
sawe
that
they
haue
done
nor
neuer
shall
.
And
than
the
kynge
loked
vp
and
by
semynge
was
gladde
with
those
wordes
/
&
the
spanyardis
were
abasshed
/
and
feared
they
had
done
gretter
trespace
than
they
dyd
/
for
though
the
marshall
reproued
them
and
spake
agaynst
them
/
yet
they
had
well
spoken
and
truely
counsayled
the
kyng
/
but
what
for
valyantnesse
&
to
please
the
strangers
/
who
desyred
batayle
/
the
marshall
spake
as
he
dyde
.
Than
euery
man
was
styll
/
and
the
kynge
sayd
.
I
wyll
in
the
name
of
god
and
saynt
Iames
/
that
our

fought
with

and
all

/
for
I
wyll
gyue
them
th
ordre
of
knighthode
/
in
the
honour
of
god
and
saynt
George
.
Than
ther
came
forthe
many
squyers
of
France
and
of
Byerne
/
&
there
they
were
made
knightes
of
the
kyngis

There

and
they

them selfe
so
goodly

that
it
was
pleasure
to
beholde
them
/
for
they
were
a
fayre

.
Than
the
lorde
of
Loyngiache
came
before
the
kyng
/
and
all
other
that
were
strangers
/
what
soeuer
nacyon
they
were

/
so
they
were
no
spanyardis
/
they
were
all
named
in

.
Than
they
said
to
the
kynge
.

than

He

:
they

howe

.
Lette
it
be
so
we

content

but

demaunded
of
the
kynge
/
wheder
he
wyll
abyde

or

So
thervpon
they
were
long
in
murmuryng
/
wheder
they
shulde
demaunde

or
els

for

Than

and
enclyned

who

Of

So
thus
the

abode
among
his

/
who
were
well
a
twentie
thousande
horsmen
/
all

Sir

/
where
the
kyng
of
Portugale
and
his
men
were
redy
to
receyue
them
.
Of
these
frenche
knightes
there
were
a
two
thousande
speares
/
as
fresshe
and
as
well
ordred
men
as
coulde
be
deuysed
.
And
as
soone
as
they
sawe
their
enemyes
/
they
ioyned
toguyder
lyke
men
of
warre
/
and
aproched
in
good
order
tyll
they
came
within
a
bowe
shotte
And
at
their
first
comyng
ther
was
a
harde
rencountre
/
for
suche
as
desyred
to
assayle
to
wyn
grace
and
prayse
/
entred
in
to
the
strayte
way
/
where
the
Englysshmen
by
their
policy
had
fortyfied
them
.
And
bycause
th
entre
was
so
narowe
there
was
great
prease
and
great
mischefe
to
the
assaylantes
/
for
suche
englysshe
archers
as
were
there
shot
so
holly
toguyder
/
that
their
arowes
pearsed
men
&
horse
/
and
whan
the
horses
were
full
of
arowes
they
fell
one
vpon
another
.
than
the
Englysshmen
of
armes
/
the
portugaloys
/
&
Lyxbonoyes
/
came
on
them
cryeng
their
cryes
our
lady
of
Portugale
/
with
good
speares
and
sharpe
heedes
/
wherwith
they
strake
and
hurte
many
knightes
and
squyers
.
There
was
the
lorde
of
Lanache
of
Bierne
beaten
downe
/
and
his
baner
won
and
he
taken
prisoner
/
and
many
of
his
men
taken
and
slayne
.
also
sir
Iohan
of
Ree
/
sir
Geffray
Richon
/
sir
Geffray
of
parteney
/
and
all
their
companyes
that
were
entred
within
the
strayte
/
There
horses
were
so
hurte
with
tharchers
/
that
they
fell
on
their
maysters
and
one
vpon
another
.
There
these
frenchmen
were
in
great
danger
/
for
they
coulde
nat
helpe
one
another
/
for
they
had
no
roume
to
enlarge
them selfe
/
nor
to
fight
at
their
wyll
.
And
whan
the
portugaloys
sawe
that
myschefe
fall
on
the
first
assaylers
they
were
gladde
/
and
as
fresshe
and
coragyous
to
fyght
as
any
men
might
be
.
There
was
the
kynge
of
Portugale
with
his
baners
before
hym
/
mounted
on
a
good
horse
/
trapped
with
the
armes
of
Portugale
/
and
he
had
great
ioye
to
se
that
myschefe
fall
on
his
enemyes
:
and
to
conforte
his
people
he
laughed
&
sayd
a
highe
.
On
forthe
good
men
/
defend
you
and
fight
with
good
wyll
/
for
if
ther
be
no
mo
but
these
we
nede
nat
to
feare
/
and
if
I
knewe
euer
any
thynge
in
batayle
/
all
these
be
ours
.
Thus
the
kyng
of
Portugale
reconforted
his
people
who
fought
valiantly
/
and
had
enclosed
in
the
streight
all
the
first
assaylers
/
of
whome
ther
were
many
slayne
.
True
it
was
that
this
first
batayle
whiche
these
knightes
of
Fraunce
and
of
Bierne
ledde
/
had
thought
to
haue
ben
quickelyer
ayded
of
the
spaynerdes
than
they
were
/
For
if
the
kyng
of
Castyle
and
his
company
/
who
were
a
twentie
thousande
men
/
had
come
by
another
parte
and
assayled
the
portugaloys
/
it
had
been
lykely
the
iourney
to
haue
ben
theirs
/
but
they
dyde
nothynge
/
wherfore
they
were
to
blame
and
receyued
domage
.
Also
in
dede
the
frenchmen
sette
on
to
soone
/
but
they
dyde
it
to
th
entent
to
haue
won
honoure
/
and
to
maynteyne
the
wordes
they
had
spoken
before
the
kyng
:
and
also
as
I
was
enformed
/
the
spaynierdes
wolde
nat
sette
on
so
soone
/
for
they
loued
nat
the
frenchmen
/
for
they
had
said
before
:
Lette
them
alone
/
they
shall
finde
right
well
to
whome
to
speke
/
these
frenchmen
ar
great
vantours
and
highe
mynded
/
&
also
our
kyng
hath
no
perfit
trust
but
in
them
/
and
sith
the
kyng
wolde
they
shulde
haue
the
honour
of
the
iourney
/
let
vs
suffre
them
to
take
it
/
or
els
we
shall
haue
all
at
our
ententes
.
Thus
by
thse
meanes
the
spanynierdes
stode
styll
in
a
great
batayle
/
and
wolde
nat
go
forwarde
/
whiche
was
right
displesant
to
the
kyng
/
but
he
coude
nat
amende
it
/
but
the
spaynierdes
sayd
/
bycause
ther
was
none
retourned
fro
the
batayle
.
sir
/
surely
these

of

disconfyted

t

/
God
gyue

vs
ryde
than
somwhat
forwarde
/
that
they
rode
a
crosbowe
shotte
forwarde
and
than
agayne
rested
:
It
was
a
great
beautie
to
se
them
/
they
were
so
well
mounted
&
armed
/
and
in
the
mean
season
the
frenchmen
fought
/
and
suche
as
had
leysar
to
a
light
fought
valiantly
.
dyuers
knightes
and
squyers
of
eyther
partie
dyd
many
feates
of
armes
one
vpon
another
/
&
whan
their
speares
fayled
/
they
toke
axes
and
gaue
many
great
strokes
on
the
helmes
/
sleyng
and
maymynge
eche
other
.
Who
soeuer
were
in
suche
case
of
armes
as
the
frenchmen
and
portugaloys
were
at
Iuberoth
/
must
abyde
the
aduenture
as
they
dyde
/
without
they
wolde
flye
awaye
/
and
in
flyeng
there
is
more
paryll
than
to
abyde
the
batayle
/
for
in
flyeng
lightly
are
moost
slayne
/
&
in
batayle
whan
one
seith
he
is
ouermatched
he
yeldeth
hym selfe
prisoner
:
It
can
nat
be
said
but
that
the
knightes
of
Fraunce
/
of
Bretayne
/
of
Burgoyne
/
and
of
Byerne
/
but
that
right
valiantly
fought
/
but
at
their
first
encountre
they
were
hardely
handled
/
and
all
that
was
by
the
counsayle
of
the
Englysshmen
to
fortyfie
their
place
.
So
at
this
first
batyle
the
portugaloys
were
stronger
than
their
enemyes
/
so
they
were
all
taken
or
slayne
/
but
fewe
that
were
saued
/
so
that
there
were
at
that
firste
brunt
a
thousande
knightes
and
squyers
taken
prisoners
/
wherof
the
portugaloys
were
ioyfull
/
and
thought
as
that
day
to
haue
no
more
batayle
/
&
so
made
good
chere
to
their
prisoners
/
and
euery
man
sayd
to
their
prisoners
.
Sirs
be
nat
abasshed
for
ye
are
won
by
clene
feate
of

/
we
shall
kepe
you
good

and
they
thanked
theym
whan
they
sawe
none

&
so
there
some
were
put
to
their
fynaunce
incontynent

some
wolde

conueyed
to
the

Than
they
drewe
all
togyder
with

/
on
the
same
place
where
as
they
were
first
assayled
/
&
as
than
the
sonne
was
goyng
downe
.
Than
the
kyng
of
Castell
in
a
puyssant
array
with
his
baners
and
penons
dysplayed
and
mounted
on
their
horses
well
couered

came
on

Castell

&
began
to

in
to
the
place
that
was
fortified
/
and
there
they
were
receyued
with
speres
and
axes
/
and
at
the
first
comyng
the
shotte
of
arowes
greued
sore
their
horses
/
so
that
many
therby
were
slayne

ouerthrowen

And
all
that
season
the

knewe

he
beleued
they
had
ben
styll
prisoners

thynkynge
to
recouer
them
agayne
/
as
ye
haue
herde
.
There
was
a
harde
batayle
and
a
fyerse
/
and
many
a
man
caste
to
the
erthe
/
the
portugalois
had
no
suche
aduauntage

and
they
had
nat
fought
valiantly
they
had
ben
loste
and
discomfyted
:
that
saued
them
/
was
their
enemyes
coude
nat
come
on
theym
but
by
one
narowe
waye
.
There
the
kyng
of
Portyngale
lyghted
a
fote
and
toke
an
axe
in
his
hande
and
dyd
marueylous
in
armes
/
and
beate
downe
a
thre
or
four
with
his
owne
handes
/
so
that
he
was
feared
/
that
none
durst
aproche
nere
him
.
I
shall
shew
some
parte
of
the
condycions
of
the
spaniardes
.
TRewe
it
is
/
at
their
first
settyng
on
they
are
fierse
and
coragyous
/
and
of
great
aduauntage
/
and
hyghe
mynded
if
they
haue
auauntage
:
They
fight
well
a
hors
backe
/
but
as
soone
as
they
haue
caste
two
or
thre
dartes
/
and
gyuen
a
stroke
with
their
swerde
/
and
se
that
their
enemyes
be
nat
discomfyted
therwith
/
than
they
feare
and
turne
their
horses
and
flye
awaye
to
saue
them selfe
that
best
maye
.
And
at
this
bataile
of
Iuberoth
they
vsed
the
same
playe
/
for
they
founde
their
enemyes
harde
and
strong
/
and
as
fresshe
in
the
batayle
as
though
they
had
done
nothynge
of
all
the
daye
before
/
wherof
they
had
marueyle
/
and
also
that
they
harde
no
tidynges

where
they
were
become

There
the
spayniardꝭ
that
euenyng
were
in
the
harde
fortune
of
batayle
and
perylous
for
them
/
for
as
many
as
entred
into
their
strength
/
were
by
valyantnesse

feates
of
armes
all
slayne
.
They
toke
no
man
to
raunsom
whatsoeuer
he
were
noble

a

puissaunt
kynge
than

Thus

¶
Nowe

THe

And

Some

Than
the
knight
kneled

and
excused

so
largely
/
that
the
kynge
&
his
counsayle
were
well

.
Than
a

But
I
shall
shewe
you
as

secretelye
/
whan

Than
he
drewe
me
a
parte
into
a
corner
of
the
chapell
at
Ortayse
/
and
than
began
his
tale
and
sayd
.
IT
is
well
a
twentie
yeres
paste
/
that
there
was
in
this
countrey
a
barone
/
called
Raymon
lorde
of
Corasse
/
whiche
is
a
seuyn
leages
fro
this
towne
of
Ortaise
This
lorde
of
Corasse
had
that
same
tyme
a
plee
at
Auygnon
before
the
pope
/
for
the
dysmes
of
his
churche
/
agaynst
a
clerke
curate
there
:
the
whiche
preest
was
of
Cateloygne
.
He
was
a
great
cleke
/
and
claymed
to
haue
ryght
of
the
dysmes
in
the
towne
of
Corasse
/
whiche
was
valued
to
a
hundred
florens
by
the
yere
/
and
the
right
that
he
had
he
shewed
and
proued
it
.
And
by
sentence
diffynityue
/
pope
Vrbane
the
fyfte
in
consistory
generall
/
condempned
the
knight
and
gaue
iugement
with
the
preest
.
and
of
this
last
iugement
he
had
letters
of
the
pope
for
his
possession
/
&
so
rode
tyll
he
came
in
to
Bierne
/
and
there
shewed
his
letters
&
bulles
of
the
popes
for
his
possession
of
his
dismes
.
The
lorde
of
Corase
had
great
indignacion
at
this
preest
and
came
to
hym
&
said
.
mayster
Pe●
or
maister
Marten
/
as
his
name
was
:
Thynkest
thou
that
by
reason
of
thy
letters
/
that
I
wyll
lese
myne
herytage
?
Nat
so
hardy
that
thou
take
any
thynge
that
is
myne
/
if
thou
do
it
shall
coste
the
thy
lyfe
/
Go
thy
waye
in
to
some
other
place
to
get
the
a
benefyce
/
for
of
myne
herytage
thou
gettest
no
parte
/
and
ones
for
alwayes
I
defende
the.
The
clerke
douted
the
knight
for
he
was
a
cruell
man
/
therfore
he
durste
nat
parceyuer
.
Than
he
thought
to
retourne
to
Auygnon
as
he
dyde
/
but
whan
he
departed
he
came
to
the
knight
the
lorde
of
Corasse
and
sayd
.
Sir
/
by
force
and
nat
by
right
/
ye
take
away
fro
me
the
right
of
my

wherin
ye
greatly
hurte
your

.
I
am
nat
so
strong
in
this
countrey
as
ye

But
sir
/
knowe
for
trouthe
/
that
as
soone
as
I
maye
/
I
shall

the
knight
who
douted
nothyng
his
thretnynges
sayd
:
God

with

do
what
thou
mayst
/
I
doute

more
dethe

/
for

wordes
/
I
wyll

.
Thus
the
clerke
departed
fro
the
lorde
of
Corasse
/
and
went
I
can
nat
tell
wheder
/
to
Auygnon
or
into
Cateloygne
/
and
forgate
nat
the
promyse
that
he
had
made

For

bycause

THe

and
euer

howe

And
on

that

shewed

all

and
howe

The

answered

Thus
the
lorde
of
Corasse
was
serued

I

But

for

that
moost
desyred

newes
out
of

.
And
on
a

the

of
Corasse
was

of
Foiz
/
and
the
erle
demaunded
of

she
semed
to
be
so
leane
and
yuell
fauoured
/
that
there
was
nothyng
on
her
but
the
skynne
&
the
bones
/
with
long
eares
and
a
longe
leane
snout
.
The
lorde
of
Corasse
had
marueyle
of
that
leane
Sowe
/
and
was
wery
of
the
sight
of
her
/
and
commaunded
his
men
to
fetche
his
houndes

and
sayd
.
Lette
the
dogges
hunt
her
to
dethe

and
deuoure
her
.
His
seruauntes
opyned
the
kenelles
and
lette
out
his
houndes
/
and
dyde
sette
them
on
this
sowe
.
And
at
the
laste
the
sowe
made
a
great
crye
/
and
loked
vp
to
the
lorde
of
Corasse
as
he
loked
out
at
a
wyndowe
/
and
so
sodaynely
vanysshed
awaye
no
man
wyste
howe
.
Than
the
lorde
of
Corasse
entred
in
to
his
chambre
right
pensyue
:
&
than
he
remembred
hym
of
Orthon
his
messangere
and
sayd
.
I
repent
me
that
I
sette
my
houndes
on
hym
:
It
is
an
aduenture
and
euer
I
here
any
more
of
hym
/
for
he
sayd
to
me
often
tymes
that
if
I
displeased
hym
I
shulde
lese
hym
.
the
lorde
said
trouthe
/
for
neuer
after
he
came
in
to
the
castell
of
Corasse
/
and
also
the
knight
dyed
the
same
yere
next
folowynge
.
Lo
sir
quod
the
squyer
/
thus
I
haue
shewed
you
the
lyfe
of
Orthone
/
and
howe
a
season
he
serued
the
lorde
of
Corasse
with
newe
tidynges
.
It
is
true
sir
qd
I
/
but
nowe
as
to
your
firste
purpose
/
Is
the
erle
of
Foiz
serued
with
suche
a
messangere
?
Surely
quod
the
squier
it
is
the
ymaginacion
of
many
that
he
hath
suche
messangers
/
for
the●
is
nothynge
done
in
any
place
/
but
and
he
sette
his
mynde
therto
he
wyll
knowe
it
/
and
whan
men
thynke
leest
therof
.
And
so
dyde
he
whan
the
good
knightes
and
squyers
of
this
countrey
were
slayne
in
Portugale
at
Iuberothe
.
Some
saythe
the
knowledge
of
suche
thynges
hath
done
hym
moche
profyte
/
for
and
there
be
but
the
value
of
a
Spone
loste
in
his
house
/
a
none
he
wyll
knowe
whe●
it
is
.
So
thus
than
I
toke
leaue
of
the
squyer
and
went
to
other
company
/
but
I
bare
well
awaye
his
tale
.
¶
Nowe
I
wyll
leaue
to
speke
of
the
busynes
of
Portugale

And
the

also
bycause
he
wolde
gladly

On

wherfore
all

consydred
/
the

thought
that
the
castell
of
Breest

the
towne
/
were
nat
mete
to
be
enemy
to
the
realme
of

And
thought
it
nat

for

knyghtes
of
Bretaygne
/
to
suffre
it
as
they
dyde

Therfore
he
ordayned
to
laye
siege
therto
/
with
a
great
nombre
of
knyghtes
and
squyers
of
Bretaygne
:

Morfane

:
These
foure
valyant
men
wente

layde
siege
as
nere
to
Brest
as
they
might
/
and
made
a
bastyde

closed

tooke
fro
Brest
all
their
issues
/
excepte
the
See
/
whiche
was
nat
in
their
power
to
close

them
.
And
often
tymes
there
were
scrimysshes
and
feates
of

done
before
the
barryers
/
for
suche
as
were
without

desyringe
dedes

wolde
come
valyantly
to
the
barryers

and
they
within
receyued
theym
as

/
so
that
often
there
were

There
were

fewe
dayes
but
that
some

coude

nor
go

but
in

without

And
of
all
these
castels
/
the
chiefe
capitayne
was
an
expert
man
of
warre
of
Basque
/
called
Espaigoullet
/
he
dyd
many
marueylous
dedes
in

He
toke
on
a
tyme
by
scalynge
the

of
Armayle
/
whyle
the
lorde
therof
/
sir
Raymonde
was
gone
to
Tholous
/
and
he
kepte
it
more
than
a
yere
.
&
in
the
meane
season
whyle
he
kepte
it
/
he
caused
to
be
made
a
myne
and
a
caue
/
whiche
went
out
of
the
castell
in
to
the
feldes
:
And
whan
the
caue
was
made
/
he
closed
vp
the
entre
with
stones
/
so
that
it
coulde
nat
be
parceyued
that
any
waye
was
there
vnder
the
yerthe
.
And
in
the
same
meane
season
the
lorde
Raymonde
of
Armayle
treated
with
Espayguollet
/
to
haue
agayne
his
castell
for
money
.
Whan
the
caue
was
finysshed
/
he
agreed
with
the
lorde
to
delyuer

the
castell
for
two
thousande

/
and
he
and
all

to
departe
Than
the
lorde
entred
agayne
in
to
his
castell
and
repayred
it
where
it
was
in
defaulte

And
a
fyftene
dayes
after
Espaiguollet
with
his
company
in
a
night
came
to
the
wode
where
the
yssue
of
the
caue
was

and
entred

And
so
at
the
hour
of
mydnight
they
toke

&

lorde
lyenge
in
his
bedde
/
and
raunsomed

/
&
than
let

/
but
Espayguollet
kept

castell
and
a
good
garison
/
whiche
after
sore
traueyled
the
countrey
with
other
of
his
alyaunce
and

.
FOr
these
maner
of
people
that
robbed
&
pylled
thus
in
the
marches
of
Tholous
/
of
Rouergue
/
and
there
about

Therfore

.
And
so
he
came
to
Tholous
/
&
sent
for
the

therabout
/
and
wrote
to
sir

for

and
so
all

Sir

and
a

pauesses
/
and
the
seneschall
of
Rouergue
and
sir
Hugh
Frodeuyll
came

So
whan
they
were
all

/
they
were
a
four

C.

M.
pauesses
.
And
also
there

the
lorde
of
barbason
sir
Benedic
of

/
&
Willm̄
Caudron
breto●
&

so
one

and
there
rested
:
&
there
was
capitayne

Whan
these
lordes
and
their
companyes
were
come
before
Forget
/
they
incontynent
went
to
the
assaut
/
and
the
genowayes
began
sore
to
shote
/
so
that
scant
they
within
durste
apere
at
their
defence
/
but
the
frenchmen
myst
of
their
purpose
at
this
first
assaute
▪
&
so
there
they
lodged
all
night
&
toke
their
ease
/
for
they
had
ynoughe
wherwith
.
In
the
mornyng
betymes
they
armed
them
throughe
the
host
/
and
sowned
their
trumpettes
to
the
assaute
/
and
so
they
came
in
good
ordre
to
the
fote
of
the
dyke
/
he
that
had
sene
than
(
the
men
of
armes
entre
in
to
the
dykes
with
their
targettes
ouer
their
heedes
/
and
tasted
the
dyke
with
their
speares
and
passed
ouer
to
the
fote
of
the
wall
)
wolde
haue
taken
great
pleasur
.
Whan
the
first
were
passed
ouer
the
dyke
/
and
had
shewed
the
way
to
other
:
than
other
folowed
with
great
wyll
/
for
it
had
ben
great
blame
to
them
/
if
they
had
than
taryed
behynde
/
and
their
company
before
.
and
suche
as
folowed
them
had
matockes
and
pykes
in
their
handes
to
pearse
withall
the
walles
/
and
couered
their
heedes
with
targettes
to
receyue
the
stones
that
were
caste
downe
/
whiche
were
no
great
plentie
/
for
the
genowayes
shotte
so
surely
with
their
crosbowes
/
that
non
durste
put
out
their
heedes
to
their
defence
/
for
the
genoways
crosbowes
shotte
so
surely
/
that
lightly
they
myst
nat
of
their
leuell
/
so
that
ther
were
many
within
sore
hurte
with
their
quarelles
/
in
so
moche
that
they
doughted
sore
the
shotte
.
This
saute
was
so
sore
contynued
that
the
mynours
ouerthrewe
a
pane
of
the
walle
:
Than
they
within
were
sore
abasshed
&
wolde
than
haue
yelded
them
their
/
lyues
saued
/
but
their
enemyes
had
no
luste
therto
/
for
they
felle
in
to
so
good
handes
that
they
were
all
slayne
.
for
sir
Galtier
their
capitayne
commaunded
that
it
shulde
so
be
.
so
there
were
none
taken
to
mercye
/
but
all
slayne
/
nat
one
that
scaped
.
Thus
these
lordes
of
Fraunce
at
their
first
comynge
had
the
castell
of
Forget
/
and
sir
Gaultier
delyuered
it
to

had
sore
dystroyed

Than
they
went
to
the
castell
of
Basse

of
whiche
Erualton
of
Batefoyle
was

had
greatly
fortifyed

he
thought
the
frenche

And
whan
the
frenche

they
acquyted

for
they
shot

Erualton
of

Well

The

Sirs

Therfore

They

in
a

they
toke

The

the

they
had
made
an

in

And
whan
all

Passe

to
the

no

Than
anone

parceyued
that

bycause
no

/
than
they
ceassed
their

bicause
they
wolde

Than
they
came
downe
fro
the
ingyn
&
came
to
the
capitayns
who
had
marueyle
what
they
ment

and
than

Sirs

without

Howe

Sir
quod
they
we
knowe
it

for
there
is
none
appereth
at

Than
the●
were
ordayned
ladders
to
sette
vp
agaynst
the
walles
/
and
they
that
mounted
on
them
passed
ouer
the
walles
and
entred
in
to
the
castell
/
&
founde
no
creature
therin
:
And
than
they
wente
to
the
gate
and
there
they
founde
a
great
bundell
of
kayes
/
and
among
other
they
founde
the
kaye
of
the
gate
and
opyned
it
/
and
than
all
the
barryers
one
after
another
/
wherof
the
lordes
had
great
marueyle
/
and
specially
sir
Gaultier
of
Paschac
/
he
wende
they
had
ben
departed
out
of
the
castell
by
enchauntment
/
&
than
demaunded
of
them
that
were
about
hym
howe
it
might
be
The
seneschall
of
Tholous
sayd
to
hym
.
Sir
surely
they
can
nat
be
thus
gone
without
they
haue
some
secrete
waye
vnder
the
erthe
/
which
I
thynke
there
be
.
Thanne
all
the
castell
was
sought
in
euery
corner
/
where
any
suche
waye
shulde
be
.
There
they
founde
in
a
Cellar
the
mouthe
of
the
alley
open
/
and
there
all
the
lordes
dyde
beholde
it
/
and
sir
Galtier
had
great
marueyle
therof
/
and
demaunded
of
the
S●neschall
of
Tholous
if
he
knewe
before
of
any
〈…〉
sir
qd
he
/
I
haue
herde
or
this
therof
/
but
I
thought
nothyng
that
they
wolde
haue
thus
departed
by
that
waye
.
By
my
faythe
quod
sir
Gaultier
/
they
begone
the
same
waye
Haue
the
castelles
of
this
countre
suche
ordynaunce
:
Sir
quod
sir
Hughe
/
there
be
dyuers
suche
castelles
as
of
olde
tyme
perteyned
to
Raynalt
of
Montabon
/
that
hath
suche
conueyaunce
/
for
whan
he
and
his
bretherne
kepte
warre
agaynst
kynge
Charlemayne
of
frannce
they
were
made
all
after
this
maner
by
the
counsayle
and
aduyse
of
Maugis
theyr
cosyn
/
for
when
the
kynge
besyeged
them
by
puyssaunce
and
that
they
sawe
they
coulde
not
resyst
hym
then
they
wolde
departe
without
ony
leue
takynge
by
meanes
of
these
passages
vnder
the
erthe
.
Surely
sayd
syr
Brews
I
lawde
gretly
that
ordynaunce
/
I
can
not
say
yf
euer
I
shall
haue
ony

agaynst
me
or
not

retourned
in

I
shall
cause
suche

made
in
my

of
Pasac
.
So
thus
they
toke
possessyon
of
the
castell
and
set
therin
men
of
warre
to
kepe
there
a
garyson
/
and
so
then
they
wente
further
towardes
the

Conuall
where
Espaygnolet
of
papereaw
basque
was
capytayne
&
with

SO
these

Ca.

THen
syr

whiche
was
taken

raysed
vp
on

as
it
sholde

and
also
they
apparelled
other
instrumentes
for

/
and
when
al

redy
then
syr
Gaultyer
who
gretly
desyred
to
wynne
this
castell
caused
his
Trompettes
to
sowne
to
the
assawte
/
there
was
the

syr

/
then
they
began
the
sawte
and
they
within
to
defende
themselfe
whiche
was
nede
for
they
sawe
themselfe
in
a
harde
parte
/
they
knewe
wel
how
syr
Gaultyer
wolde
take
none
to
mercy
/
therfore
they
thought
to
defende
themselfe
as
longe
as
they
myght
&
to
sell
theyr
lyues
derely
/
there
the
Geneways
crosse
bowes
shot
sore
and
hurte
many
within
so
that
there
were
none
within
but
doubted
gretely
/
and
there
syr
Gaultyer
of
Pasac
dyd
meruayles
in
armes
and
sayd
to
his
company
/
what
syr●
shall
these

all
this

thus
/
yf

good

I
wolde
not
meruayle
/
for
in
them
were
mo
feaces
of

then
in
these
rascalles
that
be
within
.
It
is
myne
entent
to
dyne
within
the

.
Nowe
it
shall
be
sene
yf
ye
wyll
accomplysshe
my

/
with
those
wordes
suche
as
desyred
his

aduaunced
themselfe
forthe
/
they
toke
many

set

vp

where
as
the
engyne
stode
with
the
crosse
bowes
/
who
shot
so
fyersly
that
none
within
durst
shew
themselfe
Thus
by
clene
assawte
the
Frensshe
men
entred
in
to
the
castel
of
Conual
theyr
swordes
in
theyr
handes
chasynge
theyr
enemyes
/
&
there
were
many
slayne
&
the
other
taken
/
then
euery
man
entred
in
at
the
gates
/
then
it
was
demaunded
of
syr
Gaultyer
what
sholde
be
done
with
them
that
were
taken
.
By
saynt
George
sayd
he
/
I
wyll
they
be
all
hanged
/
and
incontynent
his
commaundement
was
done
/
and
Espaygnoy
let
began
fyrst
.
So
the
lordes
dyned
in
the
castel
/
and
the
other
people
in
the
towne
/
&
there
they
taryed
all
that
day●
.
And
syr
Gaultyer
delyuered
agayne
to
the
lorde
of
Conuall
his
towne
&
castell
/
&
then
ordeyned
to
departe
thens
.
THus
after
the
takynge
of
the
castell
of
Conuall
as
ye
haue
herde
/
the
Frenssh
men
wente
to
another
holde
called
Mastull
whiche
had
done
grete
domage
to
the
countrey
with
other
&
there
they
made
assawte
/
&
they
within
defended
themselfe
/
but
that
was
not
longe
for
by
clene
assawte
they
were
wonne
and
the
castell
also
/
and
all
that
was
within
slayne
&
hanged
vp
.
And
when
they
of
Ratchfort
and
of
other
castelles
knewe
howe
syr
Gaultyer
had
wonne
so
many
castelles
/
and
that
he
toke
none
to
mercy
/
but
outher
slayne
or
hanged
/
they
doubted
moche
for
comynge
to
the
same
ende
/
wherfore
they
departed
in
the
nyght
tyme
I
can
not
tell
whether
they
wente
vnder
the
grounde
or
aboue
/
for
bytwene
the
castell
of
Rochefort
and
the
castell
of
Royr
were
caues
vnder
the
erthe
/
for
auncyently
they
perteyned
to
Raynolde
of
Mountalban
.
So
the
Frensshmen
founde
these
castelles
clene
voyde
when
they
came
thyder
/
then
they
newely
repeopled
it
with
men
of
warre
&
prouysyon
.
Then
they
toke
theyr
way
towarde
Tholous
to
go
in
to
Bygore
/
for
on
the
fronter
of
Tarbe
there
were
two
castelles
the
one
called
Thedos
Iulyan
/
and
the
other
Nauaret
whiche
gretely
trauayled
the
countrey
and
the
good
towne
of
Tarbe
and
the
londes
of
the
lorde
Dauchyn
.
WHen
syr
Gaultyer
of
Pasac
and
the
lordes
of
Fraunce
and
of
Languedoc
had
well
refresshed
theym
in
the
Cyte
of

then
they
departed
&
toke
the
waye
in

Bygore
/
and
so
came
before
the
castell
of
ledos
Iuly
Turrian
/
&
there
taryed
&
sayd
they
wolde
goo
no

it
/
thyder
came
to
syr
Gaultyer
of
Pasac
the
Seneshal
of
Nob●san
perteynynge
to
the
Erle
of
Foys
for
syr
Gaultyer
had
sente
for
hym
to

to
dryue
out
of

the
pyllers
and
robbers
who
had
renne
as
well
in
the
countrey
of
Nobessan
as
in
other
places
.
Also
the
Erle
of
Foys
consented
that
he
sholde
so
do
/
or
elles
he
durst
not
haue
done
so
/
they
were
before

that
castell
was
stronge
and
a
good
capytayne
therin
a
squyer
of
Gascoyn
called
Bruer
de

.
¶
Howbeit
they
at

hadde
it
/
not
by
assawte
/
but
by
treaty
/
they
within
departed
theyr

saued

And
also
they
were
falsely
conuayed
to
Lowrde
by
a
squyre
called
Bertram
of
Mountdyghen
.
And
when
these
lordes
of

then
they
toke
aduyse
whether
they
myght
kepe
it
styll
or
rase

downe
to

/
then
it
was
counsayled
to
bete

downe
bycause
of
them
of

who
were
crafty
and
subtyle
/
fearynge
that
when
they

that
they
wolde

/
so
it

thus

WHen

bytwene

were
fayre
chyldren

&
for
this
cause
the

endured
the
longer
/
&
on
a
tyme
at
Paris
where
as
I
was
I
herde
the
lorde
Dalbret
speke
a
worde
/
whiche
I
well
noted
/
but
I
byleue
he
spake
it
but
in
sporte
/
howbeit
he
spake
it
in
grete
sadnes
to
a
knyght
of
Brytayne
who
had
serued
hym
before
/
for
the
knyght
had
demaunded
hym
of
the
busynes
of
his
countrey
/
&
howe
he
was
contente
to
be
frensshe
/
he
answered
and
sayd
/
I
thanke
god
I
do
metely
well
/
howbeit
I
had
more
money
/
&
my
men
also
/
when
we
made
war
for
the
kynge
of
Englonde
then
we
haue
now
for
when
we
rode
forthe
at
aduenture
we
founde
euer
some
ryche
merchaunt
other
of
Tholous
/
Condon
/
or
Bergerath
lyghtely
there
was
no

we
gate

some
good

Then
we
were
fresshe

Ioly

nowe
we
be

then
the

began
to

and
sayd
truely
this
is
a
lyfe
of
Gascoynes
/
lyghtly
they
wolde
euer
haue
other
mennes
domage
Therfore
I
that
harde
these
wordes
say
as
I
thought
that
the
lorde
Dalbret
repented
hym
in
that
he
was
become
frensshe
as
the
lorde
of
Musydent
Gascoyne
who
was
taken
at
the
batayle
of
Anne●
/
&
sware
in
to
the
handes
of
the
duke
of
Aniow
that
he
wolde
come
to
Parys
/
and
become
frensshe
euer
after
/
so
he
came
to
Paris
&
kynge
Charles
made
hym
good
chere
/
but
for
all
that
euer
the

dyd
/
the
lorde
of
Musydent
departed
agayne
fro
Parys
without
ony
leue
&
wente
in

his

became
agayne
Englysshe
/
&
brake
all
the
promyses
that
he
had
made
with
the
duke
of
Aniow
.
In
lykewyse
so
dyde
the
lorde
of
Rousen
/
the
lorde
of
Duras
/
&
the
lorde
of
Languerant
.
Suche
is
the
nacyon
of
Gascoyne
they
be
not
stable
/
for
they
loue
yet
the
Englysshe
men
better
then
the
frensshemen
for
theyr
warre
agaynst
the
Frensshe
men
were
more
profytabe

then
agaynst
the

the
pryncypall

wyll
not

then
he
was
demaunded

Then

suffred
the

&
they

So
longe
they
iourneyed
that
they
came
in
amonge
the
mountaynes
of
Lazaryn
they
founde
no
let
in
the

in

so
the

entred
in

&
the
duke

&
the

ledde

/
&
so
this

passed

enbusshement
/
&
when
the

&
the
Hungeryons
sawe
theyr
tyme
they
set
theyr
worke
men
a
worke
to
cut
downe
trees

to
stoppe
so
the

that
there
coulde
no

nor
they
that

they
were
so
closed
in
that
it
was
not
possyble
for
ony
man
to
go
ony
further
/
so
there
was
thus
enclosed
a
.xxx.
M.
turkes
/
who
we
refyersly
assayled
by
the
Hungaryons
/
and
so
handeled
on
bothe
sydes
of
the
way
that
they
were
there
all
slayne
/
not
one
that
skaped
/
&
the
.ii.
dukes
also
slayne
/
some
thought
to
haue
saued
themselfe
in
the
woodes
/
but
they
were
so
chased
that
they
were
all
slayne
/
then
they
of
the
areregarde
tourned
backe
when
they
saw
they
coulde
not
entre
for
the
trees
that
stopped
the
way
so
they
retourned
to
Lamorabaqum
&
shewed
hym
the
grete
myschef
that
was
fallen
on
his
people
/
wherof
he
was
meruayllous
sory
and
dyspleased
/
then
he
called
his
counsayle
to
know
what
was
best
for
hym
to
do
/
for
he
had
lost
the
floure
of
all
his
chyualry
/
and
so
retourned
&
dyd
no
more
at
that
tyme
.
WHen
the
kynge
of
Armony
had
shewed
all
this
/
&
his
owne
estate
to
the
frenshe
kynge
/
&
to
the
barons
of
France
&
to
his
counsayle
/
they
had
of
hym
grete
pyte
and
bycause
he
was
come
fro
so
ferre
a
countre
as
Grece
to
seke
counsayle
&
ayde
there
/
&
bycause
he
was
a
kynge
&
chased
out
of
his
royalme
/
and
had
as
then
no
thynge
to
lyue
on
to
maynteyne
his
estate
.
¶
The
frensshekynge
as
yonge
as
he
was
sayd
/
we
wyl
that
the
kynge
of
Irmony
who
is
come
hyder
to
se
vs
in
hope
to
haue
some
conforte
/
helpe
&
ayde
of
vs
to
kepe
his
estate
as
it
aperteyneth
to
hym
/
who
is
a
kyng
as
wel
as
we
be
/
&
when
we
may
weshal
ayde
hym
with
men
of
warre
/
&
helpe
to
recouer
his
●herytaūce
wherto
we
haue
good
wyl
/
for
we
are
bounde
to
exalte
the
crysten
faythe
.
The
frensshe
kynges
wordes
were
well
harde
and
vnderstande
/
as
it
was
reason
/
&
there
were
none
that
sayd
the
contrary
/
the
kynges
vncles
&
counsayle
were
desyrous
to
accomplysshe
his
entent
/
so
the
kynge
of
Armony
to
maynteyne
his
estate
there
was
assygned
to
hym
a
certayne
rente
&
reuenues
out
of
the
chambre
of
accomptes
/
&
so
was
well
&
truely
payde
euery
moneth
/
his
assygnement
was
a
.vi.
M.
frankes
by
the
yere
/
&
he
had
delyuered
hym
at
the
fyrst
.v.
M.
frankes
to
prouide
for
his
lodgyng
vessel
&
other
thynges
necessary
/
&
his
lodgynge
apoynted
at
saynt
Andon
besyde
saynt
Denyce
there
to
kepe
his
house
.
Thus
the
kynge
of
Armony
was
reteyned
by
the
Frensshe
kyng
at
his
fyrst
comynge
/
&
dayly
he
encreased
/
&
not
apayred
/
&
was
somtyme
with
the
frensshe
kynge
/
and
specyally
at
hyghe
feestes
.
¶
Howe
pope
Vrban
&
pope
Clement
were
at
grete
dyscorde
togyder
/
and
howe
the
crysten
kynges
were
in
varyaunce
for
theyr
lectyons
/
and
of
the
warres
bytwene
them
.
Ca.
xlii
.
THe
same
season
there
came
to
Au●gnyon
to
se
the
pope
Clement
/
syr
Othes
of
Bresnyl
to
haue
money
for
the
warre
he
had
made
for
hym
agaynst
the
Romayns
&
Bertram
of
A●gles
/
who
wrote
hymselfe
pope
Vrban
the
vi

as
it
is
conteyned
in
his
hystory
here
before
&
there
syr
Othes
shewed
dyuers
thynges
to
the
pope
/
&
to
the
Cardynalles
/
wherin
he
was
wel
byleued

harde

but
as

he
coulde
gete

for

was
so
clene
voyded

golde
&
syluer
/
that
the
Cardynals
coulde
not
haue
the
money
that
perteyned
to

hattes
.
So
this
syr
Othes
of
Bresnyll
departed
fro
them
not
wel
content
.
At
Auyg●yon
there
was
delyuered

wolde
in

Then

dyssymuled

counsayled

wherfore
syr
Othes
forbare
a
longe
season
&
dyssymuled

The

season
the

of

And
there
pope

sore
constrayned

on

I

M.

a

whervpon
syr

but
the

there
coulde
not

for

courte
was
so
poore
that
they
had

and
so
syr
Bernarde
de

retourned
euyll
content
to
the

of
Pruce

and
so
then
they
dyssymuled
the

and
the
Prucyens
in

/
and
also
this
erle
Courant
and
so
pope
Vrban
yssued
out
of

out
of

and
wente
to
Rome
and
abode
there
I
Knowe
ryght
well
that
in

to
come
there
wolde
be
had
moche
of
these
thynges
howe
the
churche
sholde
fall
in
suche

&
endure
so
longe
/
but
it
was
a
plage
sent
fro
god
/
for
the
clargy
to
aduyse
&
to
consydre
well
theyr
grete
estate
&
superfluyte
that
they
were
in
but
many
dyde
sette
lytell
therby
/
for
they
were
so
blynded
with
pryde
that
eche
one
thought
to
be
as
good
as
another
/
wherfore
it
wente
euyll
/
&
yf
our
fayth
had
not
ben
confyrmed
in
the
handes
&
grace
of
the
holy
goost
who
●nlumyned
the
harte
of
them
that
were
gone
out
of
the
ryght

/
&
helde
them
ferme
in
vnyte
elles
our

had
be
gretely
defourmed
/
but
the
grete
lordes
of
the
erthe
at
the
begynnyng
dyd
nothynge
but
laughe
at

/
tyl
I
Cronycled

Ihesu
Cryst
.
M.CCC.lxxx

and
.x.
moche
of

meruayled
howe
the
grete
lordes
as
the
Frensshe
kynge
/
the
kynge
of
Almayne
/
and
other
kynges
and
prynces
of
crystendome
/
dyd
prouyde
no
remedy
in
that
case
.
There
was
one
thynge
reasonable
to
appease
the
comon
people
/
&
to
escuse
the
hyghe
prynces
&
kynges
/
dukes
&
Erles
/
&
other
lordes
.
As
by
ensample
the
yolke
of
the
egge
can
not
be
without
the
whyte
/
nor
the
whyte
with
out
the
yolke
/
no
more
maye
the
Clergy
&
the
lordes
be
one
without
another
/
for
the
lordes
are
gouerned
by
the
Clergy
/
or
they
coulde
not
lyue
but
as
beestes
&
the
Clergy
were
not
/
&
the
Clergy
counsayleth
and
exhorteth
the
lordes
to
do
as
they
do
.
And
I
say
surely
I
haue
ben
in
my
tyme
in
dyuers
partyes
of
the
worlde
/
what
for
to
accomplysshe
my
pleasure
/
and
to
se
noueltyes
in
the
worlde
/
and
to
haue
knowledge
of
the
conquestes
&
aduentures
wryten
in
this
boke
.
And
truely
the
season
that
I
wente
thus
aboute
in
the
worlde
I
coulde
lyghtly
se
no
grete
lorde
/
but
that
he
had
a
marmoset
/
or
of
the
Clergy
/
or
a
boy
of
symple
lygnage
mounted
vp
to
honoure
/
by
reason
of
theyr
Iangelyng
&
raylynge
/
excepte
the
erle
of
Foys
/
for
he
had
neuer
none
suche
/
for
he
was
naturally
sage
/
for
his
wysdome
was
better
/
than
ony
that
coulde
be
gyuen
hym
/
yet
I
say
not
that
suche
lordes
as
are
ruled
by
suche
marmosettes
be
fooles
/
but
rather
more
then
fooles
/
for
they
be
sore
blynded
/
&
yet
they
haue
two
eyen
/
whan
the
knowledge
came
fyrst
to
the
frensshe
kynge
Charles
of
the
dyfference
bytwene
these
two
popes
he
dyd
put
the
matter
on
the
Clergy
whiche
way
he
sholde
take
them
/
they
of
the
clergy
of
Fraunce
determyned
&
toke
pope
Clement
for
the
moost
surest
parte
/
and
to
the
Frensshe
opynyon
acorded
the
kynge
of
Castel
and
the
kynge
of

bycause
all
the
season
that
the
scysme
was
thus
in
the
chyrche
/
Fraunce
/
Castell
&
Scotlande
were
ioyned
togyder
by
alyaunce
/
&
the
kynge
of
Englonde
/
&
the
kynge
of
Portyngale
were
of
the
contrary
oppynyon
agaynst
theyr
enemyes
/
the
erle
of
Flaundres
neuer
inclined
in
his
courage
to
pope
Clement
that
he
sholde
be
ryght
pope
bycause
Vrban
was
fyrst
chosen
at
Rome
/
who
was
archebysshop
of
Bare
.
This
Clement
beynge
Cardynall
of

Flaunders
howe
there
was
a
pope
chosen
by
due
electyon
at
Rome
&
named
Vrban
/
wherfore
he
wolde
not
byleue
after
on
that
Clement
/
&
as
longe
as
he
lyned
he
was
of
that
opynyon
/
so
was
the
kynge
of
Almayne
and
all
the
Empyre
/
and
also
the
kynge
of
Hungry
.
Thus
then
I
put
in
wrytynge
the
state
and
dyfferences
that
I
had
sene
in
my
dayes
in
the
worlde
and
in
the
chyrche
/
it
was
no
meruayle
thoughe
the
lordes
of
the
worlde
suffered
&
dyssymuled
the
matter
.
This
brought
to
my
remembraunce
howe
that
when
I
was
but
yonge
/
and
pope
Innocent
caygned
in
Auygnyon
/
he
helde
in
pryson
a
freer
mynoure
called
freer
Iohn
Roche
Tayllad
/
this
clerke
as
it
was
sayd
/
&
I
haue
herde
it
pryuely
in
dyuers
places
/
he
shewed
&
aledged
dyuers
auctorytes
of
the
incydentes
and
fortunes
that
fell
after
in
his
dayes
in
the
royalme
of
Fraunce
.
And
also
he
spake
of
the
takynge
of
kynge
Iohn
/
and
shewed
certayne
thynges
reasonable
howe
the
chyrche
sholde
suffre
moche
for
the
grete
superfluytes
that
he
sawe
in
them
and
while
he
was
in
prison
it
was
shewed
me
what
he
sayd
to
the
Cardynall
of
Ostie
called
Dearras
/
and
to
the
Cardynall
of
Auxere
who
wente
to
vysyte
hym
and
to
argue
with
hym
/
then
he
layde
to
them
an
ensample
as
hereafter
ye
shall
here
.
LOrdes
sayd
this
freer
/
there
was
ones
a
fowle
appered
in
this
worlde
without
ony
fethers
/
&
when
al
other
fowles
knew
that
he
was
borne
they
came
to
se
hym
bicause
he
was
so
fayre
and
pleasaunt
to
beholde
.
Then
they
ymagyned
amonge
them
what
they
myght
do
for
this
byrde
/
for
without
fethers
they
knewe
well
he
coulde
not
lyue
/
and
they
sayd
they
wolde
he
sholde
lyue
bycause
he
was
so
fayre
/
them
euery
fowle
there
gaue
hym
of
theyr
fethers
/
and
the
fayrer
byrde
the
mo
fethers
he
gaue
hym
/
so
that
then
he
was
a
fayre
byrde
&
a
well
fethered
and
began
to
fle
.
And
the
byrdes
that
had
gyuen
hym
of
theyr
fethers
when
they
sawe
hym
flee
they
toke
grete
pleasure
/
&
when
this
byrde
sawe
hymselfe
so
well
fethered
and
that
all
other
fowles
honoured
hym
/
he
began
to
ware
prowde
and
toke
no
regarde
of
them
that
had
made
hym
/
but
pycked
and
spurred
at
them
and
was
contrary
to
them
.
Then
the
other
byrdes
drewe
togyder
and
demaunded
eche
other
what
was
best
to
be
done
with
this
byrde
that
they
had
made
vp
of
nought
&
now
so
dysdayneth
them
/
then
the
Pecocke
sayd
/
he
is
gretly
beautyed
by
reason
of
my
fethers
/
I
wyl
take
them
agayne
fro
hym
/
in
the
name
of
good
sayd
the
Fawcon
so
wyll
I
haue
myne
/
and
so
sayd
al
the
other
byrdes
.
And
then
they
began
to
take
agayne
fro
hym
al
the
fethers
that
they
had
gyuen
hym
.
And
when
this
byrde
saw
that
/
he
humbled
hymselfe
&
knowledged
of
the
welth
and
honour
that
he
had
/
not
of
hymselfe
but
of
them
/
for
he
knewe
that
he
came
in
to
the
worlde
naked
and
bare
/
and
the
fethers
that
he
had
they
myght
wel
take
fro
hym
agayne
when
they
lyst
/
then
he
cryed
them
mercy
/
and
sayd
that
he
wolde
amende
hymselfe
and
noo
more
be
prowde
/
&
so
then
agayne
these
gentyll
byrdes
had
pyte
on
hym
&
fethered
hym
agayne
/
&
sayd
to
hym
we
wolde
gladly
se
the
f●e
amonge
vs
/
so
thou
wylte
be
humble
as
thou
oughtest
to
be
/
but
knowe
surely
/
If
thou
be
ony
more
prowde
and
dysdaynous
we
wyll
take
from
thou
all
thy
fethers
and
set
the
as
we
founde
thou
fyrst
¶
Thus
sayd
the
freer
Iohn
the
Cardynalles
that
were
in
his
presence
.
Syrs
thus
shall
it
fall

had
it
by

for
he

so
that

when

he
shewed

it

For

Wherfore

I
wolde
not
that

syth
I
knewe
it
to
be
true
and
notable

And
whyle
I
was

Gaston
of
Foys
/
I
was
there
enfourmed
of
dyuers
busynesses
/
suche

and
when
I
was

agayne
in
to
my

in
the
countye
of
Heynalte
/
and
in
the
towne
of
Valencennes
/
and
that
I
had
refresshed
me
there
a

/
then
I
determyned
me
to
folowe

I
wente
to
Bruges
in

yf
I
had
sought

.vii.
yere
I
coulde
not
haue
come
to
a
better
poynte
then
I
dyd
then
/
for
then
it
was
shewed

that
if

I
sholde
fynde

Ca.

HOwe

hystory
that
after
this
mayster

kyng
Iohn
of

had
dyscomfyted
kynge
Iohn
of

at
that
batayle
of
Iuberoth
nere
to
the

called

Cabbase
where
as
so
many
noble
knyghtes
&
squyers
of
Fraunce
/
Gascoyne
/
and
Byerne
were
slayne
/
and
that
the
kynge
of
Portyngale
for
that
fayre
&
vyctoryous
iourney
was
gretely
doubted
and
honoured
of
the
Portyngales
/
&
was
receyued
after
his
vyctory

Lyxbone
with
grete
glory
of
al
the
people
/
&
there
with
grete
tryumphe

as
auncyently
kynges
were
wonte
to

/
after

and
there
in
Lyxbone
was
grete
feest
or
the
departure
of
suche

and
squyers
as
were
there
/
and
the
counsayles
of
the
good
townes
and
cytees
of
that
royalme
.
Then
there
was
a
parlyament
and
a
counsayle
holden
/
howe
they
might
perceyuer
in
theyr
opinyon
on
honourably
/
for
certayne
of
the
sages
of
the
royalme
sayd
howe
it
was
necessary
for
them
to
se
how
they
myght
fortefye
themselfe
agaynst
the
kyng
of
Castel
&
his
puyssaunce
/
so
that
they
myght
honourably
abyde
in
theyr
victory
/
&
multiply
&
exalte
in
this
parlyament
at
Lyxbone
holden
in
the
cathedrall
chyrche
of
saynt
Dominicke
.
There
were
many
deuyses
recyted
whiche
nede
not
to
be
rehersed
/
but
the
rest
and
conclusyon
of
this
parlyament
was
that
they
sholde
sende
in
to
Englonde
to
the
duke
of
Lancastre
who
claymed
of
ryght
the
enherytaunce
of
Castell
/
by
reason
of
that
lady
Constaunce
his
wyfe
eldest
doughter
to
kynge
Don
Peter
of
Castell
/
and
to
wryte
to

that
if

wolde
clayme
ony

of
Castell
/
&
to
set
forwarde
his

/
whiche
longe
hath
hanged
in
balaunce
/
and
in
aduenture
to
be
lost
/
that
wolde
come
in
to
Portyngale
with
a
company
of
men
of
armes
and
archers
/
for
as
then
it
was
tyme
conuenyent
for
hym
so
to
do
Then
the
erle
of
Nauarre
constable
of
Portyngale
in
fayre
language
sayd
.
Syth
we
be
agreed
to
sende
in
to
Englonde
to
the
duke
of
Lancastre
by
whome
we
thynke
to
be
ayded
/
whiche
is
the
moost
profytablest
waye
for
vs
/
to
cause
our
enemyes
to
feare
vs
/
therfore
let
vs
aduyse
in
our
royalme
sage
personages
&
notable
to
do
this
message
/
&
to
enfourme
so
the
duke
of
Lancastre
and
his
counsayle
to
come
in
to
this
countrey
so
stronge
as
to
resyst
our
enemyes
with
suche
ayde
as
he
shall
haue
of
vs
/
for
we
may
well
suppose
that
the
kynge
of
Castell
wyll
gete
grete
ayde
of
the
Frensshe
kynge
.
The
Frensshe
men
of
warre
wote
not
where
better
to
enploy
theyr
season
/
for
they
haue
peas
with
Englonde
vnto
the
feest
of
saynt
Iohn
.
And
also
the
Frensshe
men
haue
ferme
peas
with
that
Flemynges
/
who
hath
occupyed
them
before
dyuers
yeres
.
The
erle
of
Nauerres
wordes
were
well
accepted
/
and
euery
man
sayd
howe
he
spake
well
to
the
poynte
/
and
that
so
they
wolde
do
.
Then
there
were
named
by
sad
delyberacyon
of
counsayle
that
the
grete
mayster
of
saynt
Iaques
in
Portyngale
and
Laurence
Fongasse
a
ryght
sage
and
dyscrete
squyer
who
coulde
ryght
well
speke
the
language
of
Fraunce
/
howe
they
sholde
goo
on
this
message
in
to
Englonde
/
for
they
coulde
sende
none
of
the
counsayle
of
Portyngale
that
better
coulde
doo
that
message
then
they
.
Then
there
were
letters
wryten
in
good
Frensshe
&
in
Latyn
to
the
kynge
of
Englonde
/
to
that
duke
of
Lancastre
/
&
to
his
bretherne

and
Bokyngham
.
And
when
these
letters
were
wryten
and
grosed
vp
in
Frensshe
&
in
Latyn
/
then
they
were
redde
before
that
kyng
&
his

there
/
&
well
lyked
/
&
so
sealed
&
delyuered

of
saynt
Iaques
/
&
to
Laurence
Fongase
/
who
toke
on
them
the
charge
to
bere
them
in

/
so
they
myght
passe
the
daungere
of
the
see
/
&
encounteryng
of
ony
enemyes
&
robbers
of
the
see
/
for
as
wel
there
were
robbers
on

So
they
toke

shyp
called
the
Lyn
whiche
wolde
sayle
with
all
maner
of
wyndes
more
surelyer
then
ony

So
on

THey

and

so
yssued
out
of
theyr
shyppe
/
and
wente
&
refresshed
them
in
that

/
&
there
they
were
examyned
by
the

&
suche

Then

To

answered
wysely
and
truely
/
wherby
the

were
ryght
well

TRewe
it
was
that
before
these

were
comen
into

the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
and
the

of
Cambrydge
his

had
dyuers
counsayles
togyder
for
the

they
claymed
by

The
Erle
of
Cambrydge
as
ye
haue
herde
before
/
was
not
well
contente
with
kynge
Ferant
of
Portyngale
nor
with
the

of

there
/
for
they
had
lodged

dayes
in

before
the
Castellyans
/
and
yet
kynge
Ferant
nor
the
Portyngales
wolde
neuer
fyght
with
them
yet
the
erle
the
same
tyme
shewed
the
kynge
his
defaulte
&
sayd
/
syr
I
haue
here
in
my
company
of
poore
Englysshe
men
a
.
C.
speres
&
a
.
M.
archers
.
And
al
we
are
wyllyng
to
fyght
with
our
enemyes
/
and
to
abyde
the
aduenture
that
god
wyll
sende
vs
/
but
kynge
Ferant
answered
euer
that
he
was
not
counsayled
to
fyght
/
wherfore
when
the
Erle
saw
that
he
departed
thens
/
and
toke
with
hym
agayne
his
sone
out
of
Portyngale
/
and
when
he
was
departed
/
then
the
kynge
of
Portyngale
accorded
with
kynge
Iohn
of
Castell
/
&
maryed
his
doughter
to
hym
to
make
the
peas
/
and
this
treatye
was
made
by
syr
Iohn
Audre
a
knyght
of
portyngale
.
The
kynge
there
had
all
his
trust
in
hym
.
The
kynge
of
Portyngale
demaunded
of
his
doughter
whether
she
had
rather
haue
the
kynge
of
Castel
/
or
the
erle
of
Cambrydge
sone
.
She
answered
and
sayd
howe
she
loued
better
Iohn
of
Englonde
then
Iohn
of
Castel
The
kynge
demaunded
why
she
sayd
soo
/
she
answered
/
bycause
Iohn
of
Englonde
was
a
goodly
personage
and
of
her
age
/
&
that
was
the
cause
she
wolde
not
haue
the
kynge
of
Castell
/
howbeit
her
fader
to
haue
peas
with
the
Spanyardes
made
that
maryage
.
Also
the
erle
had
sayd
to
the
duke
of
Lancastre
his
broder
that
kynge
Ferant
ones
deed
/
he
doubted
that
the

of
the

of
Portyngale
wolde
rebell
agaynst
the

Beautryce
/
for

(
For
al
that
theyr
kynge

.
)
yet
they
helde
not
the
kynges
doughter
to
be
borne
in
lawfull
maryage
but
reputed
her
as
a
bastarde
/
and
mermured
theron
whyle
the
erle
was
there
.
Wherfore
he
was
the
gladder
to
take
away
his

thens
.
The
duke
of
Lancastre
to
whom
the
matter
touched
nerer
then
to
the

bycause
he
had
maryed

and
he
had
a

chylde
by

and
dyd
set

&
he
sawe
clerely
that

coulde
not

howe

Wherby

For

This

.
The

withstode
the
kynges
desyre
as
longe
as

but
at
the

Then

I

haue
none

The

coulde
gete

matter
to
her
husbande

and
when

was
sory
and
maleneolyous

and
regarded
and
studyed
what
were
best

and
sayd
to

/
I
wyll

Henry
who
receyued

and
reteyned

as
longe
as

and
soo
dothe

Thus
the
kynge
of
Portyngale
to
accomplysshe
his
folysshe
pleasure
/
sente
for
the
knyght
and
for
the
lady
but
the
knyght
was
goone

Then
the
kynge
sente
for

of
Connymbres
/
who
was
as
then
chauncelloure
of

how

wolde
wedde
Elyanoure

and
the
bysshop
fered
the
kynge
bycause
he
knewe
hym
of
an
hyghe
and
a
fyerce
condycyon
/
therfore
he
durst
not

contrary

Audere
/
who
was

to

the

.
Syr
ye
may
wed
them
wel
ynoughe
/
ones
the
kynge
shal
make
recompence
for
all
/
so
the
bysshop
wedded
them
/
&
this
lady
was
crowned
quene
/
&
so
reputed
in
al
the
grete
Cytees
in
Portyngale
/
and
had
as
moche
honoure
and
reuerence
as
euer
hadde
ony
other
quene
in
the
royalme
of
Portyngale
/
and
the
kynge
had
by
her
a
doughter
/
who
as
nowe
is
quene
of
Castell
.
True
it
was
that
whyle
kynge
Ferant
lyued
/
he
sente
on
a
day
/
to
Lyxbone
for
all
the
prelates
and
noble
men
of
the
countrey
/
and
for
the
counsayles
of
the
Cytees
/
portes
/
and
townes
of
Portyngale
/
and
this
was
or
your
broder
the
erle
of
Cambrydge
came
in
to
Portyngale
/
and
there
the
kynge
made
euery
man
to
swere
and
to
promyse
that
after
his
dyssease
they
sholde
take
his
doughter
the
lady
Beautryce
/
Who
was
as
then
but
fyue
yeres
of
aege
/
for
herytoure
of
the
royalme
of
Portyngale
euery
man
sware
whether
they
wolde
or
not
.
Howbeit
the
moost
parte
of
them
that
were
there
knewe
ryght
well
that
she
was
but
a
bastarde
/
and
borne
in
aduoutrye
/
for
her
moders
husbande
was
styll
lyuynge
/
called
syr
Iohn
Laurence
of
Coygne
/
who
lyued
in
Castell
with
the
kynge
there
as
longe
as
kynge
Ferant
of
Portyngale
lyued
/
and
lenger
/
how
bert
syr
I
thynke
surely
yf
the
kynges
doughter
had
ben
a
sone
/
that
all
the
comonaltye
of
Portyngale
wolde
soner
haue
agreed
to
hym
them
to
his
doughter
.
For
to
her
they
sayd
they
wolde
neuer
agree
/
but
had
rather
dye
then
to
be
vnder
the
subiectyon
of
the
royalme
of
Castell
.
¶
For
as
yet
the
royalme
of
Portyngale
and
the
royalme
of
Castell
neuer
loued
parfytely
togyder
/
But
hathe
often
tymes
haryed
/
and
made
warre
eche
with
other
/
In
lykewyse
as
the
royalme
of
Scotlande
dothe
with
that
royalme
of
Englonde
.
THen
the
duke
of
Lancastre
demaunded
of
Laurence
Fongase
/
where
kynge
Iohn
that
nowe
is
broder
to
kynge
Ferrant
was
in
kynge
Ferrantes
dayes
.
Syr
sayd
the
squyer
he
was
in
the
royalme
of
Portyngale
in
a
house
of
relygyon
wherin
be
knyghtes
of
an
ordre
in
whyte
habytes
with
a
reed
crosse
and
he
was
souerayne
of
that
house
/
and
was
called
mayster
Deuyce
.
The
kynge
set
lytell
by
his
broder
but
made
hym
ruler
of
that
house
of
Denyce
/
nor
also
kynge
Iohn
that
nowe
is
/
medled
nothynge
with
the
busynes
of
the
royalme
/
nor
thought
nothyng
of
the
crowne
therof
.
For
yf
kynge
Ferrant
of
Portyngale
had
thought
ony
thynge
of
that
is
fallen
syth
he
loued
his
lady
Elyanoure
&
the
lady
Beautryce
her
doughter
/
he
wolde
haue
slayne
his
broder
who
is
nowe
kynge
/
but
bycause
he
sawe
that
he
kepte
his
house
with
the
bretherne
of
his
ordre
so
mekely
and
duely
he
had
no
suspecte
in
hym
/
but
so
let
hym
lyue
in
peas
.
And
syr
as
for
the
dyssencyon
that
is
nowe
bytwe-Portyngale
and
Castell
/
surely
syr
to
saye
the
trouthe
therin
/
the
Spanyardes
are
cause
ther
of
/
Why
so
sayd
the
duke
/
I
shall
shewe
you
sayd
the
squyer
.
The
Castellyans
when
they
sawe
that
kynge
Ferrant
had
maryed
his
doughter
to
theyr
kynge
/
then
they
began
to
be
prowde
/
and
began
to
speke
grete
wordes
/
whiche
sore
greued
the
Portyngales
/
for
the
Spanyardes
wolde
say
.
Oye
Portyngales
rude
people
lyke
beestes
/
The
tyme
nowe
is
come
that
we
shall
haue
a
good
market
of
you
/
for
ye
haue
ben
and
shall
be
ours
/
we
shall
deuyde
and
set
you
in
companyes
as
we
do
the
Iues
who
dwelleth
by
truage
vnder
vs
/
ye
shall
be
our
subiectes
with
other
venymous
wordes
/
often
tymes
they
sayd
thus
when
they
met
the
Portyngales
.
And
whyle
kynge
Ferrant
lyued
/
&
had
maryed
his
doughter
in
to
Castell
/
they
engendred
suche
an
hate
that
they
murmured
and
sayd
/
it
were
better
to
be
deed
than
to
be
vnder
the
daunger
and
subieccyon
of
the
Castellyans
/
and
so
kynge
Ferrant
fell
syke
whiche
endured
a
hole
yere
.
And
when
he
was
deed
and
buryed
in
the
chyrche
of
saynt
Fraunce
a
relygyous
house
of
freers
in
the
cyte
of
Lyxbone
Then
the
cytees
/
good
townes
/
and
castelles
in
Portyngale
closed
theyr
gates
/
&
they
sente
for
the
kynge
that
nowe
is
to
Lyxbone
/
who
knewe
ryght
well
the
ententes
of
the
.iii.
other
cytees
/
as
Connymbres
/
Porte
/
and
Eure
.
Then
they
sayd
.
Mayster
Deuyce
(
so
he
was
called
as
then
)
We
wyll
make
you
kynge
of
this
royalme
thoughe
ye
be
a
bastarde
/
but
we
say
that
your
cosyn
the
lady
Beautryce
quene
of
Castell
is
borne
rather
a
basterde
than
you
for
as
yet
lyueth
her
moders
fyrst
husbande
.
/
And
syth
it
is
so
that
the
crowne
of
Portyngale
is
fallen
in
two
wayes
/
we
wyll
take
for
vs
the
moost
profytable
/
and
also
the
moost
parte
of
the
royalme
enclyneth
to
make
you
our
kynge
/
and
that
the
crowne
of
Portyngale
shall
not
go
to
a
woman
/
nor
we
wyll
not
be
vnder
the
subieccyon
of
the
kynge
of
Castell
/
nor
of
the
Castellyans
/
we
had
rather
ye
sholde
take
all
that
we
haue
/
to
ayde

Thus
as
I
shewed
you
before
kynge
Iohn
of
Castel
ass●bled
his
people
as
soone
as
he
myght
/
and
so
came
with
a
grete
puysaunce
and
strength
towardes
Lyxbone
or
the
kynge
of
Portyngale
that
nowe
is
was
crowned
to
put
the
Portyngales
in
feare
/
and
to
shewe
howe
he
hadde
ryght
to
the
herytage
of
Portyngale
.
And
so
fyrst
he
came
before
saynt
yrayne
whiche
was
the
entre
of
Portyngale
/
&
there
he
rested
two
dayes
/
they
of
the
towne
with
the
gouernours
therof
were
in
grete
feare
with
his
comynge
/
bycause
of
the
grete
nombre
of
men
of
warre
that
were
with
hym
/
and
soo
they
yelded
vp
theyr
towne
to

.
And
after
he
had
taken
theyr
possessyon
/
and
lefte
men
of
armes
to
kepe
the
towne
for
feare
of
rebellyon
.
Then
he
departed
with
all
his
oost
/
and
soo
wente
tyll
he
came
before
the
towne
of
Tuy
whiche
was
ryght
stronge
/
there
he
layde
his
syege
/
and
a
grete
parte
of
them
of
Tuy
helde
with
the
quene
of
Castell
/
For
the
lady
Elyanoure
had
it
lymytted
to
her
for
her
dowry
/
Wherfore
lyghtely
they
yelded
them
to
the
kynge
of
Castell
/
and
became
his
subiectes
/
and
was
vnder
his
obeysaunce
.
And
when
the
kynge
of
Castell
hadde
taken
possessyon
there
/
he
lefte
men
of
armes
to
kepe
it
.
And
when
he
hadde
soo
done
/
he
passed
the
ryuer
and
wente
to
the
towne
of
Valencennes
in
Portyngale
/
and
thereto
layde
his
syege
/
and
he
sente
his
messagere
vnto
them
that
were
whithin
/
that
they
sholde
yelde
them
and
theyr
towne
vnto

.
And
they
of
Valence
answered
and
sayd
/
let
the
kynge
of
Castell
passe
forth
and
go
to
Lixbone
/
and
as

as
they
myght
knowe
that
he
hath
wonne

outher
by

/
feare
/
or

/
that
then
incontynente
they
wolde
delyuer

the
keyes
of
theyr
towne
to
hym
This
answere
pleased
ryght
well
the
kynge
of
Castell
/
and
so
departed
fro
Valence
/
In
lykewise
dyd
they
of
another
cyte
called
Serpe
whiche
was
stronge
and
fayre
/
the
kyng
thought
to

/
for

knewe
yf

cyte
he
sholde
haue
all
the
resydue
of

to

therby
to
the
Portyngales
that
the
ryght
was
his
and
that
by
good

iust
cause
he
wolde
conquere
his
wy●●es
herytage
.
THus
kyng
Iohn
of
Castell
came
with
all
his
oost
before
Lyxbone
/
and
there
layde
a
grete
syege

&
shewed
wel

gretly
thretened
mayster
Denyce
/
who
was

and
sayd
howe

he
myght
gete
hym
/
he
sholde
dye
an
euyll
dethe
/
and
all
the
rebelles
with
hym
.
The
kynge
of
Castelles
oost
was
grete
for
he
had
moche
people
/
for
the
Spanyardes
and
Frensshe
men
that
were
there
closed
so
the
Cyte
aboute
that
none
coulde
yssue
out
nor
entre
with
out

were
taken
or
slayne
/
&
somtyme
it
fell
by
skyrmysshes
and
otherwyse
that
the
Spanyardes
toke
some
Portyngales
/
then
the
Spanyardes
wolde
put
out

of
a
fote
or
an

or
some
other
membre
/
and
so
sente
them
in
agayne
in
to
the
cyte
commaundynge
them
to
saye
that
they
dyd
/
they
dyd

dyspyte
of
the
Lyxbonoys
and
of
theyr
mayster
Denyce
whom
they
wolde
make

kynge
and
also
shewe
them
playnly
that
we
shall
holde

syege
here
so
longe
that
we
shall
haue

or
otherwyse
/
&
then
they
shall
all
dye
an
euyll
dethe
/
and
set
fyre
on
the
cyte
without
mercy
or
pyre
.
And
when
the
Lyxbonoys
toke
ony

them
they
dyd
not
so
/
for
the
kynge
that
nowe
is
of
Portyngale
made
them
to
be
well
kepte
at
theyr
ease
/
&
so
sent
them
agayne
in
to
the
oost
without
ony
hurte
or
domage
of
theyr
persones
/
wherfore
some
sayd
in
the
oost
that
it
was
done
of
a
grete
gentylnes
/
for
he
rendred
good
for
euyll
.
And
syr
whyle
this
syege
endured
whiche
was
an
hole
yere
and
more
/
euery
weke
there
was
one
or
two
skyrmysshes
and
dedes
of
armes
done
/
&
some
hurte
and
slayne
on
the
one
parte
or
on
the
other
.
The
kynge
of
Castell
helde
as
well
his
syege
by
water
as
by
lande
and
had
plente
of
vytaylles
/
for
it
came
to
his
oost
from
all
partyes
out
of
Castell
/
and
on
a
day
it
happened
at
a
skyrmysshe
that
was
made
at
one
of
the
gates
/
syr
Iohn
Laurence
of
coygne
who
was
capytayne
of
the
Cyte
yssued
out
of
the
barryers
with
his
penon
of
the
armes
of
Coygne
before

/
and
with

nombre
of
propre

/
and
at
that
skirmysshe
there
was
done
many
a
propre
feate
of
armes
/
and
many
a
darte
cast
.
By
my
fayth
sayd
the

of
Lancastre
of

/
by
my
fayth
syr
sayd
the
squyer
ye
saye
trouthe
/
for
I
haue
sene
many
a
grete
stroke
gyuen
with
them
/
whiche
at
one
tyme
cost
vs
derely
and
was
to
vs
grete
dyspleasure
/
for
at
the
sayd
skyrmysshe
syr
Iohn
Laurence
of
Coygne
was
stryken
with
a
darte
in
suche
wyse
that
the
heed
perced
all
the
plates
of
his
cote
of
mayle
and
a
iacke
stopped
with
sylke
and
passed
thrughe
his
body
/
so
that
he
fel
downe
deed
/
and
therwith
seased
the
skyrmysshe
bycause
of
the
dethe
of
that
knyght
and
so
was
the
lady
Elyanoure
a
wydowe
in
one
yere
of
bothe
her
husbandes
.
FOr
this
syr
Iohan
Laurence
of
Cygne
was
made
grete
mone
/
for
he
was
a
valyaunt
knyght
&
full
of
good
counsayle
/
&
after
his
dethe
there
was
chosen
to
be
capytayne
of
Lyxbone
a
cosyne
of
his
a
ryght
valyaunt
man
called
pouuasse
of
Coyne
/
he
made
agaynst
the
Spanyardes
thre
or
foure
yssues
/
and
dyd
to
them
grete
domage
.
¶
Thus
contynued
the
syege
at
Lyxbone
/
and
surely
often
tymes
they
within
the
towne
were
sore
abasshed
/
for
they
coulde
se
no
comforte
come
to
them
frome
ony
parte
/
and
when
they
sawe
that
none
came
out
of
Englonde
wheron
lay
all
theyr
trust
.
Then
the
kynge
that
nowe
is
was
counsayled
to
haue
taken
a
shyp
/
and
so
to
haue
come
hyder
in
to
Englonde
/
for
syr
Iohn
Vadigothz
of
passe
syr
Iohn
Cete
Dore
/
and
the
archedeacon
of
Lyxbone
whom
they
had
sent
hyther
in
to
Englonde
to
the
kynge
here
&
to
you
/
&
to
the
erle
of
Cambrydge
your

for
to
haue
some
conforte
&
ayde
/
when
they
retourned
in
to
Lyxbone
they
brought
tydynges
howe
that
ye
wolde
haue
comforted
them
/
in
the
name
of
god
sayd
the
duke
/
all
that
is
of
trouthe
/
&
so
had
I
done
and
was
redy
and
at
the
poynte
to
haue
departed
/
but
as
then
the
warre
of
Flaundres
and
of
Gaunte
dyd
let
me
/
for
the
Gauntoys
came
hyder
for
ayde
and
helpe
/
and
so
all
suche
or
the
moost
parte
of
them
that
sholde
haue
gone
with
me
in
to
Portyngale
wente
in
to
Flaundres
with
the
bysshop
of
Norwyche
syr
Henry
percy
&
so
that
letted
my
iourney
in
to
Portyngale
/
in
the
name
of
god
sayd
the
squyer
/
it
was
thought
amonge
vs
that
there
was
some
grete
let
in
Englonde
so
that
you
coulde
not
come
hyder
/
howbeit
we
dyd
as
well
as
we
myght
/
&
maynteyned
ourselfe
valyauntly
agaynst
the
kyng
of
Castell
and
all
his
puyssaunce
/
whiche
was
no
small
thynge
/
for
he
had
mo

.lx.
M.
men
by
see
and
by
lande
/
and
thretened
to
byrne
/
&
to

.
And
syr
thus
whyle
this
syege
endured
an

&
so

that
in

/
he
entred
saufely
without

and
at

&
brought
them

of
whose
comynge
all
that
were
in
Lyxbone
were
ryght
ioyous
/
for

conforted

By

But

tyll

/
without

of

then

And
truly
al

consydered
the

of
Castel
kepte
wel
his
auowe
/
for
the
puyssaunce
of

I

Therfore
syr

Fyrst
he
demaunded

rode
in

ledynge
away

to

to

and
by

/
therfore
they
sayd
they
ouer

&
take
prayes
and
prysoners
.
Well
syrs
sayd
syr
Iohn
Ferrant
ye
shall
not
lede
them
longe
/
for
we
wyll
rescue
them
/
ye
haue
noo
ryght
to

to

/
ye

who
wyll
kepe
his

in

and
kepe
Iustyce
/
&
punysshe
theues

.
Therfore
we
saye
vnto

/
all
that
ye
haue
taken
in
the
royalme
of
Portyngale
leue
it
behynde
you
and
departe
hens
/
or
elles
in

&
iust
quarell
we
wyll

/
then
the
Spanyardes
answered
/
the
prysoners
that
we
haue
taken
we
wyll
not
delyuer
agayne
/
but
as
for
the
other
praye
we
wyll
take
aduyse
.
Then
the
.vii.
capytaynes
of
Castell
drewe
them
togyder
/
and
shewed
that
for
all
that
they
were
come
to
se
the
garyson
of
Treutouse
/
yet
they
wolde
haue
ben
glad
to
haue
departed
without
batayle
/
and
when
they
had
counsayled
/
then
they
sayd
howe
they
wolde
leue
theyr
pray
behynde
them
/
but
the
prysoners
they
wolde
lede
with
them
/
Nay
not
so
sayd
the
Portyngales
/
for
we
wyll
ye
leue
all
/
or
elles
ye
shall
haue
batayle
/
and
so
wente
togyder
/
and
there
was
a
sore
batayle
for
there
were
on
bothe
partyes
good
men
of
warre
/
and
the
felde
where
as
they
fought
was
fayre
and
playne
they
cast
eche
at
other
dartes
so
sore
that
who
soo
euer
was
stryken
without
he
were
wel
armed
was
slayne
or
sore
hurte
/
there
were
many
propre
feates
of
armes
done
/
and
there
syr
Iohn
Ferrant
Partelere
fought
with
an
axe
ryght
valyauntly
/
and
so
dyd
his
.ii.
companyons
/
on
the
other
partye
the
Spanyardes
fought
ryght
valyauntly
.
Thus
they
fought
the
space
of
.iii.
houres
/
whiche
was
meruayle
that
men
coulde
endure
so
longe
in
theyr
armure
fyghtynge
/
but
the
grete
dysyre
that
eyther
partye
had
to
wynne
honoure
caused
them
to
endure
the
more
payne
/
and
syr
surely
Spanyardes
and
Portyngales
are
harde
men
in
batayle
/
&
specyally
when
they
se
it
is
of
necessyte
/
thus
they
fought
longe
that
no
man
knewe
who
had
the
better
/
theyr
batayle
was
so
egall
.
And
syr
thanked
be
god
there
was
nother
baner
nor
penon
on
our
syde
that
day
ouerthrowen
/
but
fynally
theyr
syde
began
to
open
and
were
beten
downe
on
euery
syde
/
so
that
the
dyscomfyture
fell
on
them
/
then
theyr
pages
fled
awaye
to
saue
themselfe
/
and
of
the
.vii.
capytaynes
that
were
there
present
/
there
scaped
away
but
one
&
that
was
the
meanes
of
his
page
who
brought
hym
his
horse
/
he
dyd
his
mayster
good
seruyce
that
day
/
and
that
was
Adyentall
Cassel
all
the
other
.vi.
were
slayne
/
for
there
was
neuer
a
man
taken
to
raunsome
.
Thus
syr
Iohn
Ferrant
Partelere
&
his
company
obtayned
the
vyctory
of
theyr
enemyes
/
who
were
thre
agaynst

and
this
was
on

dyscomfyture
on

our

mounted
on

and
there
we
delyuered
suche
prysoners
as
the
Castellyans
had
taken
before
/
&
also
gaue
them
suche
pyllage
as

all
those
we
draue
in
to
the
garyson
of
Treutouse
for
vatayllynge
of
the
towne
as
it
was
reason
/
&
there
we
were
receyued
with
grete
ioye
they
wyst
not
what
chere
to
make
vs
bycause
we
had
delyuered
the
countrey
of
theyr
enemyes
/
&
rescued
that
they
had
lost
/
wherby
we
had
grete
prayse
thrughe
all
the

of
Portyngale
/
&
syr
in
the
same
yere
our
men
had
another
fayre
iourney
on
theyr
enemyes
in
the
felde
of
Sybylle
/
but
syr
fyrst
I
shall
shewe
you
the
moost
happyest
iourney
that
the
kynge
of
Portyngale
had
or
ony
kynge
before
hym
in

CC.
yere
before
/
whiche
was
done
within

monethes
before
that
that
kynge
sente
vs
hyther
our
enemyes
were
.iiii.
agaynst
one
of
good
men
of
warre
and
of
hyghe
empryse
/
wherfore
our
iourney
ought
to
be
the
more
praysed
.
But
syr
I
thinke
ye
haue
herde
therof
al
redy
/
wherfore
I
thynke
best
to
speke
not
therof
/
nay
sayd
the

ye
shall
not
leue
so
/
ye
shall
shewe

processe
/
for
I
wolde
gladly
here
you
speke
therof
/
yet
of
trouthe
I
haue
an
heraulte
here
with
me
called
Derby
who
was
there
at
the
batayle
as
he
sayth
/
and
he
shewed
me
that
suche
Englysshe
men
as
were
there
dyd
meruaylles
in
armes
/
and
more
by
his
reporte
than
I
bileue
was
of
trouth
/
for
there
was
no
grete
nombre
of
them
wherby
ony
grete
feate
sholde
be
done
by
them
/
for
my
broder
the

of
Cambrydge
when
he
came
out
of
Portyngale
brought
agayne
with
hym
suche
Englysshmen
as
wente
thyder

But
there
be
many
of
these
Heraultes
be
suche
lyers
that
they
wyll
exalte
suche
as
they
lyst
beyonde
measure
/
But
for
all
that
the
noblenes
of
them
that
be
good
is
not
lost
nor
enpayred
thoughe
it
be
not
shewed
by

Therfore
it
is
good
to
knowe
it
by
the
reporte
of
other
that
knoweth
it

Then

howbeit
all

/
&
some
were
gone
out
of
theyr
owne
countrey
to
the
kynge
of
Castell
bycause
they
sayd
that
the
kynge
of
Castell
had
more
ryght

then
our

had

howbeit
for

that
the

my
souerayne
lorde
wente
to
Connymbres
and
there
made
his

of
suche
men
of

as
he
coulde
gete

and
truely
he
had
with

of
all
Portyngale
and
of
moost
auctoryte
as
of
Erles
/
Barons
/
knyghtes

/
&
also
he
had
a
.xxv.
hundred
speres
of

/
and
a

M.
foote
men
Then
he
ordeyned
a
Constable

The

syr
Alne
Perriere
bothe

then
they

and
rode
fayre
and
easely
to

themselfe
and
theyr

and
that
theyr

prouysyon
myght
folowe

and
they
had
rore
ryders
one
before
to
a●ewe
the

of
the
Castellyans
/
at
this
tyme
syr
Iohn
Ferrant
Pertelere
was
not

the
kynge
/
he
was
at
the
garyson
of
Dorech
a
.v.
legges
fro
Iuberoth
/
&
I
thynke
he
knewe
not
as
then
that
the
kynge
sholde
fyght
with
his
enemyes
.
I
Suppose
the
kynge
of
Castell
was
wel
enfourmed
howe
the
kynge
of
Portyngale
was
comynge
to
hym
warde
with
his
puyssaunce
/
and
when
he
knewe
it
he
had
therof
grete
ioy
/
&
so
had
all
his
men
as
they
shewed
/
&
anone
they
determyned
to
come
on
agaynst
vs
/
and
to
tyght
with
vs
/
&
specyally
the
gascoynes
of
Byerne
that
were
there
sore
desyred
to
fyght
with
vs
/
for
they
desyred
to
haue
the
fyrst
batayle
/
and
so
they
had
/
and
syr
Wyllyam
of
Mounferrant
a
Gascoyne
who
was
there
on
our
partye
sayd
surely
howe
we
sholde
haue
batayle
bycause
they
of
Byerne
were
agaynst
vs
who
euer
desyreth
nothynge
but
batayle
.
¶
Then
the
kynge
of
Castell
with
all
his
batayle
came
the
nexte
daye
and
lodged
at
the
castell
of
Lerre
a
two
legges
fro
Iuberoth
/
and
the
nexte
day
we
came
to
the
Cabase
&
lodged
there
and
that
nyght
the
kynge
of
Castel
lodged
but
a
lytell
legge
fro
Iuberoth
/
for
he
knewe
well
what
way
we
toke
/
and
howe
we
lodged
at
Iuberoth
.
Syr
the
Portyngales
hath
had
alwayes
gre●e
trust
and
confydence
in
god
&
in
the
good
●ortune
of
that
place
of
Iuberoth
&
therfore
they
at
that
tyme
rested
there
/
Why
sayd
the
duke
haue
they
so
good
hope
in
that
place
rather
then
in
another
/
syr
layd
the
squyer
/
auncyently
the
grete
Charlemayne
who
was
kyngge
of
Fraunce
and
of
Almayne
/
&
Emperoure
of
Rome
who
was
in
his
tyme
a
grete
conqueroure
at
this
place
of
Iuberoth
/
he
dyscomfyted
.vii.
kynges
of
the
mysereauntes
/
and
there
were
slayned
of
the
infydelles
a
.
C.M.
This
syr
is
auncyently
founde
in
hystoryes
and
cronycles
and
by
reason
of
that
batayle
he
conquered
Coanymbres
&
all
the
countrey
of
Portyngale
&
brought
it
in
to
crysten
fayth
/
and
bycause
of
the
grete
victore
that
he
had
there
agaynst
goddes
enemyes
he
founded
there
an
abbaye
of
blacke
monkes
/
and
gaue
them
grete
rente
in
Portyngale
&
in
Castell
/
&
also
syr
aboute
a
CC.
yere
past
there
was
at
the
same
place
a
grete
betayle
&
fayre
iourney
acheued
by
a
lorde
that
was
at
that
tyme
broder
to
the
kyng
of
Castell
/
for
before
that
tyme
there
was
neuer
kynge
in
Portyngale
/
it
was
called
the
countye
of
Portyngale
/
and
so
it
was
that
these
.ii.
bretherne
the
kynge
of
Castell
&
the
erle
of
Portyngale
had
mortall
warre
togyder
for
partycyon
of
landes
so
that
there
coulde
be
founde
no
peas
bytwene
them
but
mortall
warre
togyder
.
The
matter
touched
soo
moche
the
erle
of
Portyngale
&
the
Portyngales
that
they
had
rather
to
haue
ben
deed
then
to
haue
ben
vnder
the
subieccyon
of
the
kynge
of
Castel
/
&
so
they
toke
a
day
of
batayle
/
&
there
the
kynge
of
Castell
was
so
puyssaunt
that
he
was
.x.
agaynst
one
so
that
he
set
nothynge
by
the
Portyngales
/
so
at
the
cabase
of
Iuberoth
was
theyr
batayle
ryght
cruell
/
&
fynally
the
Portyngales
obteyned
the
vyctory
/
&
the
Castellyans
dyscomfyted
&
the
kynge
of
Castell
taken
/
by
whose
takynge
the
erle
of
Portyngale
had
peas
as
he
lyst
/
then
the
boundes
were
set
of
the
departyng
of
Castell
and
Portyngale
.
ANd
then
bycause
the
Portyngales
saw
that
god
had
sente
them
the
vyctory
with
so
smal
a
nombre
agaynst
so
grete
a
puyssaunce
/
then
they
thought
to
augment
theyr
lande
&
to
make
it
a
royalme
/
so
the
prelates
&
nobles
of
the
countrey
crowned
theyr
fyrst
kynge
at
Connymbres
&
made
hym
to
ryde
thrughout
his
royalme
with
a
crowne
of
Lawrell
on
his
heed
/
sygnyfyenge
honoure
&
vyctory
as
aunently
kynges
were
wonte
to
do
/
&
so
euer
syth
the
royalme
hath
had
a
kynge
/
for
syr
surely
rather
then
the
Portyngales
wolde
be
vnder
the
subieccyon
of
the
Castellyans
they
wolde
take
one
or
other
that
were
ferre
of
fro
the
blood
of
the
kynge
of
Portyngale
/
&

When

the

hathe
declared
all

I
thynke
we

and
so
they
sayled
coostynge
the

tyll
they
came
open

they

sayles
&
it
was
a
grete
beautye
to
se
the

glyde
on
the

approchynge
the

full
of
men
of
armes

arches
sekynge
for

/
for
it
was
sayd
to
them
that
the
armye
of
Normandy
was
on
the
see

and
truely
so
they
were
tyll
the
Englysshe
flete
appered
before
the
boundes
of
Ouarentyne
/
but
they
knewe
by
theyr
balengers
that
the
armye
of
Englande
was
comynge
/
and
therfore
they
withdrewe
themselfe
in
to
the
hauen
of
Harflewe
.
THere
is
lyghtely
nothynge
but
that
it
is
knowen
/
and
specyally
of
dedes
of
armes
/
for
lordes
/
knyghtes
/
and
squyers
wyl
gladly
talke
togyder
therof
/
When
the
dyscomfyture
was
at
Iuberoth
where
as
the
kynge
of
Castell
toke
suche
losse
as
ye
haue
herde
/
tydynges
therof
came
in
to
Franuce
as
it
was
reason
/
for
there
were
many
there
that
had
lost
at
the
batayle
theyr
frendes
and
kynsmen
/
and
as
then
there
was
no
warre
so
lykely
to
be
as
in
Castell
/
also
they
herde
true
reporte
howe
the
duke
of
Lancastre
claymed
as
his
ryght
enherytaunce
the
herytage
of
Castell
/
and
howe
he
had
raysed
in
Englonde
a
grete
armye
to
the

to
drawe
in

in

so
then
knyghtes

auaunce
theyr
honoure
drewe
&
sente
eche
to

to
determyne
howe
they
myght
best
drawe
in

/
some
counsayled
to
go
thyder
by
lande
to
eschewe
the
perylles
of
the
see
/
&
also
to
scape
fro
the
encountrynge
of
the
Englysshe
nauye
/
&
some
sayd
nay
therto
/
for
they
sayd
the
passage
by
lande
was
ouer
longe
.
And
also
they
thought
that
the
kynge
of
Nauare
was
not
clerely
fauourable
to
the
frensshe
partye
/
for
the
frensshmen
&
he
loued
but
smally
togyder
/
for
it
was
sayd
/
&
true
it
was
the
frensshe
men
had
taken
fro
hym
all
his
enherytaunce
in
Normandy
/
howbeit
I
can
not
tell
yf
his
quarel
were
iust
or
not
/
so
thus
these
companyons
doubted
gretely
the
perylles
that
myyght
fall
by
goynge
by
lande
as
well
for
the
kynge
of
Nauare
as
for
other
/
&
they
thought
they
sholde
neuer
come
there
by
the
way
thrugh
Aragon
/
so
at
last
they
concluded
to
go
to
Rochell
as
they
dyd
/
&
there
to
take
these
/
there
they
rygged
an
.xviii
vesselles

toke
but
fewe
horses
with
them
/
&
when
they
were
all
redy
&
had
wynde
at

wyll
/
they
entred
in
to
theyr
vesselles
&
so
sayled
towarde
Bayon
/
for
that
waye
or
nere
therto
/
they
must
nedes
passe

&
in

&
the

the

marshall
of
the

sowned

to

&
so
they
dyd
&
in
good
ordre
wente
towarde
the
castell
to
the
bastydes
whiche
were
strongely
made
in
maner

aboute
the
bastides
/
there
were
dykes
/
gates

towres
/
&
good

all
made
of

/
then
the

suche
as
desyred
dedes
of

came
to
the
barryers
of

there
began

wyl
to
wyn
the

/
&
the
Bretons
knyghtes
/
&
squyers
that
were
within
the
bastydes
were
redy
to
defende
them
/
and
to
the
entente
to
fyght
more
at
large
hande
to
hande
/
they
dyd
put
away
the
barryers
of
theyr
defences
wherin
they
dyd
grete
foly
/
but
they
trusted
to
moche
in
theyr
owne
chyualry
/
there
was
doone
many
a
goodly
feate
of
armes
/
and
herde
rencountrynges
/
and
sore
foynynge
with
speres
/
and
they
dyd
best
that
had
best
breth
/
howbeit
there
were
many
of
the
Englysshmen
/
&
therfore
they
gaue
the
Bretons
moche
a
do
/
and
so
by
clene
force
of
armes
the
Englysshmen
wanne
the
baylles
so
that
within
the
closure
of
the
towne
there
were
mo
then
.
C.
men
of
armes
so
that
the
Bretons
were
at
the
poynte
to
haue
lost
all
/
&
when
syr
Iohn
of
Malestroyte
&
the
vycount
of
Combor
sawe
the
maner
/
then
he
cryed
his
crye
and
sayd
what
how
syrs
/
shall
we
lose
all
thus
/
on
forwarde
in
fyghtynge
we
sholde
not
faynte
but
outher
dethe
or
honoure
.
Then
the
bretons
closed
togyder
with
grete
courage
/
&
pytched
theyr
speres
and
glayues
in
the
erthe
and
helde
strongly
theyr
place
and
fought
couragyously
/
there
were
many
fayre
dedes
of
armes
done
/
so
that
by
force
the
Englysshe
men
were
fayne
to
recule
backe
/
for
they
were
soo
wel
resysted
that
they
coulde
gete
no
grounde
on
them
/
so
that
they
were
clene
beten
out
of
the
baylles
/
and
so
as
on
that
day
they
coulde
not
wyn
it
agayne
.
And
at
another
corner
of
theyr
bastydes
they
had
a
towre
of
stone
descendynge
downe
from
a
rocke
/
whiche
the
Bretons
helde
to
theyr
aduauntage
for
kepynge
of
theyr
bastydes
.
Therat
was
made
a
grete
assaulte
with
archers
and
other
in
the
meane
season
whyle
the
other
men
of
armes
were
fyghtyng
at
the
barryers
/
and
there
the
Englysshe
men
passed
ouer
a
lytell
dyke
that
was
there
/
and
so
came
to
the
foote
of
the
towre
with
pycke
axes
and
mattockes
in
theyr
handes
/
and
so
began
to
myne
sore
the
towre
/
and
suche
as
were
with
in
defended
themselfe
&
theyr
towre
valyauntly
/
but
the
Englysshe
archers
shotte
soo
hooly
togyder
that
none
durst
appere
at
theyr
defence
without
they
were
sore
pauessed
/
and
the
Englysshe
men
vndermyned
so
sore
the
foundacyon
of
the
towre
that
it
raue
clene
in
sondre
/
&
the
one
parte
fel
downe
/
and
they
that
were
with
in
when
they
sawe
it
wolde
fall
/
they
drewe
them
all
in
to
the
parte
that
stode
.
Then
the
Englysshe
men
made
a
grete
showte
/
and
by
that
tyme
it
was
late
/
then
they
sowned
the
retrayte
for
they
sayd
they
had
done
ynoughe
for
that
daye
.
So
then
the
Englysshe
men
departed
&
sayd
to
the
Bretons
/
syrs
abyde
there
al
nyght
and
make
good
watche
/
for
to
morow
we
wyll
come
/
and
loke
on
you
agayne
/
ye
se
well
ynoughe
what
case
ye
be
in
/
there
is
nothyng
before
you
to
shadowe
you
from
vs
.
THe
entente
of
the
Englysshe
men
was
the
nexte
daye
to
retourne
agayne
to
assayle
the
bastydes
/
and
to
conquere
them
&
all
suche
as
were
within
them
/
whiche
was
ryght
well
in
theyr
puyssaunce
soo
to
haue
done
So
thus
the
Englysshe
men
passed
the
nyght
it
is
often
tymes
sayd
/
moche
thynges
sholde
fall
of
mennes
thoughtes
yf
there
were
no
countre
thoughtes
there
agaynst
/
I
say
it
bycause
thoughe
there
were
in
the
Englysshe
oost
subtyll
and
wyse
men
of
warre
/
yet
the
Bretons
that
were
within
the
bastydes
were
suffycyently
prouyded
with
wysdome
/
and
welconsydered
what
thynge
myght
auayle
them
/
&
what
thynge
was
for
theyr
domage
/
they
sawe
well
they
must
nedes
departe
thens
/
or
elles
to
be
taken
or
slayne
/
then
they
determyned
to
truise
that
they
myght
/
and
to
departe
and
leue
theyr
bastyde
/
as
they
ordeyned
so
they
dyd
/
and
lepte
on
theyr
horses
/
and
lefte
theyr
bastydes
&
toke
the
feldes
/
and
so
toke
the
way
to
Hambont
a
.iiii.
myle
thens
/
they
dyd
wysely
therin
/
for
they
feared
no
pursute
of
the
Englysshe
men
/
bycause
theyr
horses
were
not
a
lande
.
Thus
syr
Iohn
Malestroyte
and
his
company
rode
the
same
nyght
to
Hānybout
/
they
founde
it
open
then
they
feared
but
lytell
the
Englysshe
men
The
nexte
day
the
trompettes
blewe
and
euery
man
in
the
oost
armed
hym
/
and
drewe
towarde
the
assaulte
of
the
bastyde
.
Then
they
herde
tydynges
how
the
Bretons
were
departed
and
had
lefte
the
bastyde
voyde
/
then
the
Englysshmen
repented
them
in
that
they
had
not
layde
a
busshment
for
them
/
wherby
they
sholde
not
haue
lost
so
theyr
pray
.
Then
they
brake
downe
the
bastyde
&
set
fyre
theron
.
Thus
by
the
duke
of
Lancastre
the
bastydes
were
raysed
before
Brest
/
&
the
same
day
the
duke
&
syr
Iohn
Holande
&
certayne
other
lordes
wente
to
se
the
castell
of
Brest
&
the
ladyes
with
them
&
there
they
ete
a
dranke
&
made
chere
&
so
wente
agayne
to
theyr
lodgynges
/
&
the
nexte
day
whiche
was
the
.iii.
day
they
refresshed
theyr
shyppes
with
fresshe
water
&
the
.iiii.
daye
toke
shyppynge
&
so
departed
.
THe
fourthe
day
after
the
duke
and
his
company
and
the
maryners
toke
counsayle
togyder
whiche
waye
they
sholde
drawe
and
whether
they
sholde
take
lande
at
Lyxbone
or
at
the
porte
of
Portyngale
/
or
in
Bysquay
/
or
at
Coulongne
/
and
longe
they
were
in
counsayle
or
they
were
fully
determyned
/
&
Alphons
Vietat
patron
of
the
galeys
of
Portyngale
was
sente
for
to
them
/
and
the
questyon
was
demaunded
of
hym
/
and
he
answered
&
sayd
.
Syrs
for
this
cause
I
was
sente
to

fro

my

&
it
shall
be
ryght
ioyfull
to
hym
for
gretely
he
desyreth
your

and
to

.
So
thus
the
space
of
an
houre
they
were
at
a
poynte
to
haue
landed
at
the
porte
of
Portyngale
a
.xxx.
myle
from
Lyxbone
/
Howbeit
after
they
chaunged
theyr
purpose
/
for
it
was
sayd
amonge
them
that
it
were
ferre
more
honourable
for
them
to

in
the
marches
of
theyr

then
in
the
lande
of
theyr

/
saynge
also
that
yf
theyr
enemyes
knowe
that
they
be
landed
on
them
they
shal
be
the
more
feared
then
they
rested
to
take
lande
at
Coulongne
in
Galyce
/
the
maryners
set
theyr
course
that
way
/
and
had
wynde
and
wether
at
wyll
and
so
after
they
departed
fro
Brest
the
.v.
daye
they
came
to
the
hauen
of
Coulongne
and
taryed
for
the
fludde
/
wherfore
they
sholde
not

Bourser
/
&
anone
after
that
the

was
cryed
&
publysshed
in
all

of
Flaunders
/
then
there
was
made
a
crye
that
none
sholde
bere
ony
armure
or
sworde
after

/
&
Frauncis
Atreman
who
was
styll
in

&
had
kepte
a
grete
estate
the
warre
durynge
/
thought
to
contynue
somwhat

euer
where

he
had
a
.iii.

seruauntes
waytynge
on

armed
&
beryng
swordes
&
other
wepons
on
them
&
when
this
crye
was
made
in
the
dukes
name
he
thought
it
sholde
not
rynne
on
hym
nor
none
of
his
seruauntes
/
he
thought
hymselfe
soo
well
in
fauoure
with
them
of
the
towne
/
but
he
was
deceyued
/
for
within
a
.vii.
or
.viii.
dayes
after
the
cry
was
proclamed
the
dukes
baylyffe
came
personally
to
hym
&
sayd
Frauncis
ye
put
my
lorde
the
dukes
offycers
in
grete
suspecte
/
why
do
you
go
aboute
in
the
towne
in
harneys
&
your
seruauntes
beryng
swordes
&
wepons
of
defence
as
thoughe
it
were
in
the
tyme
of
war
whiche
pleaseth
not
vs
/
Wherfore
we
commaunde
you
in
the
dukes
name
to
lay
them
downe
/
Frauncis
who
thought
none
euyll
in
that
he
dyd
but
to
maynteyne
his
estate
answered
&
sayd
/
syr
baylyffe
I
wyll
obey
as
it
is
reason
/
and
I
thanke
god
I
hate
no
persone
nor
wolde
not
that
ony
sholde
haue
ony
hurte
for
my
sake
/
howbeit
I
had
thought
to
haue
had
that
aduauntage
in
the
towne
of
Gaunt
that
I
myght
haue
had
my
seruauntes
were
theyr
swordes
after
me
.
Nay
sayd
the
baylyffe
not
so
/
for
suche
of
the
towne
as
ye
haue
done
seruyce
vnto
speke
theragaynste
&
haue
meruayle
therof
/
&
demaunde
of
me
why
I
do
suffre
it
/
they
saye
it
semeth
that
I
wolde
renewe
agayne
the
olde
warre
/
whiche
they
wyll
not
suffre
/
Wherfore
Frauncis
I
pray
you
do
so
that
I
here
no
more
therof
/
for
yf
ye
wyll
not
obey
I
must
repute
you
as
an
enemy
to
my
lorde
the
duke
&
to
my
lady
of
borgoyne
&
so
the
baylyffe
departed
fro
hym
/
&
frauncis
wente
to
his
lodgynge
&
caused
his
seruauntes
to
lay
downe
all
theyr
armure
/
&
so
entred
in
to
suche
a
fantasye
that
moost
parte
after
he
wente
in
the
towne
all
alone
or
but
one
with
him
chylde
or
seruaunt
.
So
it
was
on
a
daye
there
was
a
feest
kepte
without
the
towne
of
Gaunt
in
the
abbey
of
saynt
Peters
/
&
Frauncis
Atre
man
wente
thyder
/
and
but
one
seruaunt
with
hym
without
armure
or
wepyn
/
he
was
spyed
&
poursued
with
a
bastarde
sone
of
the
lorde
of
Harzelles
whom
he
had
caused
to
be
slayne
be
fore
/
wherfore
then
his
sone
thought
to
be
reuenged
of
his
faders
deth
/
this
bastarde
was
prouyded
for
the
matter
/
&
poursued
Frauncis
tyl
he
came
out
of
the
towne
&
farre
fro
ony
company
and
cryed
on
hym
and
sayd
.
A
thou
Frauncis
Atreman
thou
shalte
dye
/
thou
caused
my
fader
to
be
slayne
/
and
I
shall
slee

/
&
as
Frauncis
tourned
hym
the
bastarde
strake
hym
on
the
heed
with
his
sworde
so
weyghty
a
stroke
that
he
claue
his
heed
to
the
tethe
/
and
so
fell
downe
deed
to
the
erthe
&
the
bastarde
wente
his
way
fayre
and
easely
no
man
poursued
hym
/
so
this
Frauncis
Atreman
was
wel
worthy
to
dye
in
that
he
wolde
not
byleue
Peter
du
Boys
/
and
when

came
in

that
Peter
du

knew
therof
he
toke

smal
thought
for

NOwe
let

yf
the

grete
in

in

they
were

so
that
many
a

bycause

it

Ca.

SIr
Symon

and
he
herde
often
tymes
newes
out

for
they
kepte
styll
theyr
custome
of

.
Somtyme
before
Boloyne
&
before
the

and
when

fysshers
met
with

they
wolde
tel
eche
other

somtyme
more
then
they
knewe
/
for

what
soo
euer

solde
eche
with

if

sped
better

made
war
one

/
there
durst
none
haue
gone
a
fysshynge
without
conduyte
of
men
of

/
thus
syr
Symon
Burle
vnderstode
by
the
fysshers
that
surely
the
frensshe
kynge
wolde
passe
ouer
in
to
Englande
and
take
landyng
at
Douer
and
at
Sandwytche
/
syr
Symon
byleued
wel
those
wordes
and
thought
it
was
true
and
so
dyd
all
englande
/
so
on
a
daye
he
came
to
Cauntorbury
and
wente
to
the
abbaye
/
and
there
they
demaunded
of
hym
tydynges
/
and
he
shewed
as
moche
as
he
knewe
/
and
by
his
wordes
he
shewed
that
saynt
Thomas
shryne
whiche
is
goodly
and
ryche
was
not
there
in
surety
bycause
the
towne
was
not
stronge
/
and
he
sayd
that
if
the
frensshemen
sholde
come
thyder
whiche
by
all
lykelyhode
they
wolde
do
/
for
Couetyse
of
wynnynge
the
robbers
&
pyllers
wolde
robbe
that
towne
and
abbey
chyrche
and
all
/
&
they
wyll
cary
awaye
with
them
the
shryne
yf
they
fynde
it
here
/
wherfore
I
wolde
counsayle
and
aduyse
you
to
cary
it
to
the
castell

there
it
shal
be

then
the

all
the

toke

/
though
he
ment
well
in

dyspyte

sayenge
syr
Symon
wyll
ye
depose

make

for
thoughe
ye
close

forfere
/
yet
the
frensshmen
shall
not
be
so
hardy
to
come
hyder
to

and
so
Symon
Burle
multyplyed
so
moche
inwardes
in
maynteynynge
his
request
the
the
comons
of
the
countrey
were
sore
displeased
with
hym
and
reputed
hym
not
profytable
for
that
countrey
/
and
ryght
well
they
shewed
after
theyr
dyspleasure
as
ye
shall
here

/
So
syr
Symon
Burley
wente
to

agayne

THe
frensshe

came
to

to
shewe
that

the

and
shewed
not
incontynent
what
laye
in

fyrst
he
thought
he
wolde

Ca.

AS
ye
haue
herde
before
/
there
was
made
a
grete
apparell
in
Fraunce
by
the
kynge
there
/
and
the
lordes
with
grete
cost
and
charge
with
shyppes
and
galayes
to
passe
the
see
in
to
englande
to
make
warre
there
.
And
howe
this
voyage
was
broken
by
wether
/
and
bycause
that
wynter
was
so
nere
hande
.
Then
it
was
ordeyned
by
the
counsayle
that
the
kynge
and
the
lordes
sholde
retourne
euery
man
to
his

/
and
euery
thynge
to

of
Marche
or
Aprell
/
and
then
euery
man
to
be
redy
at
the
kynges
commaundement
.
THen
there
myght
well
haue
ben
seene
lordes
and
knyghtes
soore
dyspleased
And
specyally
suche
as
were
of
farre
countreys
and
had
sore
trauayled
theyr
bodyes
and
spente
theyr
money
in
trust
to
haue
had
a
good
season
/
as
the
erle
of
Sauoy
/
the

/
and
the
erle
Daulphyn
of
Awuergne
and
a
C.
other
grete
lordes
that
departed
in
grete
dyspleasure
bycause
they
had
not
ben
in
Englande
/
in
lykewyse
so
dyd
the
frensshe
kynge
but
as
thenne
he
coulde
not
amende
it
.
¶
So
thus
departed
all
maner
of
people
/
some
mery
and
some
gretely
dyspleased
and
angry
/
and
the
offycers
abode
styll
there
behynde
/
for
too
make
shyfte
to
sell
theyr
prouysyons
for
theyr
maysters
profyte
and
to
take
money
for
them
yf
they
myght
/
but
they
wyst
not
to
whome
nor
where
/
for
it
that
coste
a
hundred
frankes
was
solde
for
.x.
frankes
and
for
lesse
money
.
The
erle
Dalphyn
of
Awuergne
sayd
vnto
me
that
by
his
faythe
he
hadde
there
prouysyons
the
whiche
coste
hym
ten
thousande
frankes
/
and
when
he
retourned
homewarde
agayne
he
lost
all
togyther
/
and
soo
sayd
many
knyghtes
and
squyers
and
other
people
of
Fraunce
.
¶
And
when
these
tydynges
were
knowen
in
the
royme
of
Englande
/
some
were
ryght
ioyfull
and
gladde
therof
as
suche
people
that
doubted
the
Frensshe
mennes
commynge
.
And
some
were
angry
and
dyspleased
therwith
/
whiche
was
suche
people
as
thought
to
haue
some
promocyon
and
profyte
by
them
.
SO
thenne
there
was
made
at
the
cyte
of
London
a
grete
feest
/
and
thyther
came
all
the
lordes
suche
as
hadde
kepte
the
portes
and
passages
of
the
royalme
of
Englande
.
¶
And
then
the
kynge
helde
also
a
noble
feest
at
westmynstre
on
Crystmasse
day
And
there
were
thre
dukes
made
.
¶
Fyrste
the
erle
of
Cambrydge
was
made
the
duke
of
yorke
.
The
erle
of
Buckyngham
his

was
made
duke
of
Glocestre
.
And
the
thyrde
was
the
erle
of
Oxenforde
and
he
was
made
the
d●
of
Irelande
/
This
feest
endured
with
grete
reuelles
and
tryumphes
.
¶
So
thus
the
people
of
the
royalme
of
Englande
(
as
they
thought
themselfe
)
that
they
hadde
escaped
a
grete
peryll
/
and
thenne
dyuers
of
them
sayd
amonge
themselfe
that
they
wolde
neuer
sette
more
by
the
Frensshe
men
/
and
they
thought
that
all
the
assemble
of
the
Frensshe
men
that
was
made
at
Sluse
was
but
to
fere
the
Englysshe
men
/
and
to
haue
caused
the
duke
of
Lancastre
and
his
company
to
retourne
agayne
out
of
Spayne
.
¶

I

SOo

¶
Soo
he
departed

And
also
he
toke
his

¶
Soo

And

Howbeit

¶
And
soo
on

and
so
rode
on

tyll

Iaques
toke

The

wolde
gladly

and
so
layde

and
so
by
force
dyd

and
when
he
had
done

lyst
he
opened

Soo

Thus
the

was
done
to

and
dyscouered

syr
it

good

SO
the

then
retourned
fro

and
helde
the

euery

to

Thus
the
kynge
and
his
vncles
and
the

came
to
Parys
.
Then
the
lystes
were
made
in
a
place
called
saynt
Katheryne
behynde
the

there
was
soo
moche
people

on

the

se

so
they

there
eche

with

the

then
blessyd

soo
entred
in

/
the

sate
styll
in

blacke
chayre
in
her
prayers
to

to
the

Mary
humbly
prayenge

this

was
in

heuynes
●or
she
was
not

for
yf
her

sholde
haue
ben
dyscomfyted
she
was
Iudged
without
remedy
to
be
brente
and
her

hanged
/
I
can
not

whether
she
repented

fynally

Then
these

so
mounted

behaued

nobly

And

And

they
answered
that
he

Then

IN

of

whome
the
duke

had
sente
thyder
in

/
I
shall
shewe
yon
/
the
cause
why
.
¶
The
prynce
of
wales
bycause
he
was
duke
and
lorde
of
the
countrey
of
Acquytayne
and
that
all
his
neyghbours
doubted
hym
/
as
the
Frensshe
kynge
/
the
kynge
of
Aragon
/
the
kynge
of
Spayne
/
and
the
kynge
of
Nauare
yea
.
And
also
kynges
that
were
sarazyns
that
harde
grete
spekynge
of
hym
/
for
the
good
fortune
and
noble
chyualrye
that
he
was
of
/
and
he
hadde
a
certayne
alyaunce
and
confyderacyon
with
kynge
Peter
of
Aragon
/
whiche
leage
was
sworne
and
sealed
bytwene
them
/
and
it
was
confyrmed
by
the
kynge
of
Englande
fader
to
the
prynce
.
ANd
amonge
other
thynges
it
was
comprysed
that
the
kynge
of
Englande
nor
the
duke
and
lorde
of
Acquytayne
sholde
make
ony
warre
nor
consente
to

for
the
whiche
the
kynge
of
Aragon
sware
and
sealed
for
hym
and
for
his

that
euery
yere
he
sholde
serue

elles
to
sende
vnto
hym
as
moche
money
as
sholde
wag●
fyue
hundreth

¶
And
soo
it
was
that
as
then
there
was
.x.
yeres
rynne
in
aterages
that
the
kynge
of
Aragon
had
payde
nothyng
nor
done

and
when
the

wente
out
of

/
he
hadde
with
hym
letters
patentes
sealed
with
the
grete

wherby
he
was
stablysshed
to

sholde
haue
the
profyte
without
ony
excepcyon
/
and
what
soo
euer
he
dyd

to
be
ferme

stable
so
thus
when
the
duke
of
Lancastre
had
ben
a
season
in
the
towne
of
saynt
Iames
in
Galyce
/
he
remembred
hymselfe
of

perceyued
well
by
reason
of
his

howe
the

was
sore

soo
toke

there
they
determyned
that
it

the

ended

then
kynge
Charles
of

who
in
his

doubted
gretly
the
fortunes
of

when
he
sawe
that
the

Mountforde
&
the
Englysshe
men
seased
not
but
styll
wente
forwarde
/
&
wanne
townes

fortresses
in

he
fered
that
yf
the
erle
Mountforde
myght
come
to
his
entente
of
the
duchy
of
Bretayne
/
that
he
wolde
not

for
he
had
promysed
his
alleageaunce
to
the
kynge
of

who
ayded
&
alwaye
hadde
done
to
maynteyne
his

then
he
treted
with
the
erle
Mountforde
&
his
counsayle
as
it
hath
ben
shewed
here
before
/
wherfore
I
wyll
speke
no
more
therof
/
but
the
erle
of
Mountforde
abode
as
duke
of
Bretayne
with
that
he
sholde
do
homage
and
holde
soueraynte
or
the
crowne
of
fraunce
/
and
by
the
same
trety
the
duke
sholde
ayde
&
helpe
to
gete
delyuered
out
of
pryson
in
englande
his
.ii.
cosyns
sones
to
the
lorde
Charles
of
Bloys
/
whiche
artycle
he
neuer
dyd
accomplysshe
/
for
alwayes
he
doubted
that
yf
they
retourned
they
wolde
put
hym
to
some
busynes
for
the
duchy
of
Bretayne
&
fered
lest
they
of
Bretayne
wolde
receyue
them
as
theyr
lordes
/
for
they
more
enclyned
to
them
then
to

tymes
sad
of

And
often
tymes

that

hath
gyuen
hym
his

whiche
thynges
are

ryght
dyspleasaunt

surely
that

But
fyrst
we
wyll
speke
of
the
busynes
of
Castell
and
Portyngale
and
of
an
armye
on
the
see
that
the
englysshmen
made
to
come
to
Sluse
.
HEre
before
ye
haue
herde
how
the
frensshe
kynges
armye
by
the
see
to
haue
gone
in
to
englande
was
broken
vp
in
the
same
season
not
by
the
frensshe
kynges
good
wyll
/
for
alway
he
shewed
good
courage
to
haue
passed
in
to
Englande
/
and
when
he
sawe
howe
the
iourney
brake
he
was
more
dyspleased
then
ony
other
/
and
all
the
fawte
was
layde
vpon
the
duke
of
Berre
/
howbeit
it
was
to
be
thought
that
he
saw
more
depelyer
in
the
matter
then
ony
other
/
&
in
his
counsayllynge
to
leue
the
iourney
was
for
the
honoure
and
profyte
of
the
royalme
of
fraunce
▪
for
who
soo
euer
enterprysed
to
doo
a
thynge
ought
to
regarde
what
ende
may
come
therof
and
the
duke
of
Berre
had
ben
before
so
longe
in
englande
in
hostage
for
the
kyng
his
fader
&
had
ben
so
conuersaunt
among
the
englyssh
men
/
&
had
sene
so
moche
of
the
countrey
that
he
knewe
by
reason
what
effecte
the
goynge
in
to
englande
sholde
haue
come
to
/
&
the
cause
moost
exscusable
not
to
go
was
bycause
wynter
was
so
farre
ronne
.
But
then
it
was
sayd
that
the
constable
of
fraunce
the
nexte
somer
sholde
goo
in
to
englande
with
a
.vi.
M.
men
of
armes
and
as
many
crosse
bowes
/
for
it
was
thought
by
hymselfe
&
sayd
howe
that
nombre
was
sufficy
to
fyght
with
the
englysshe
men
/
by
reason
the
constable
ought
to
haue
knowen
it
/
for
he
had
ben
nourysshed
there
in
his
yonge
dayes
/
when
these
lordes
were
retourned
in
to
Fraunce
/
them
it
was
determyned
to
sende
socours
in
to
Castell
to
ayde
the
kynge
there
agaynst
the
kynge
of
Portyngale
and
the
duke
of

/
for
it
was
thought
that
shortely
there
sholde
be
some
dedes
of
armes
/
for
the
englysshmen
kepte
the
felde
.
And
it
was
consydered
that
they
coulde
sende
noo
men
of
warre
thyder
without
grete
cost
and
charge
/
for
the
iourney
was
ferre
of
/
&
there
was
but
lytell
money
in
the
kynges
treasoury
nor
in
treasourers
handes
/
for
the
some
of
money
that
had
ben
gadered
of
the
people
before
in
the
royalme
was
spente
&
wasted
wherfore
they
studyed
howe
to
gete
more
/
and
soo
a
newe
tayle
and
taxe
was
deuysed
to
ryn
thrughout
all
the
royalme
of
Fraunce
/
to
be
payde
incontynent
without

/
noysynge
howe
it
was
for
the
comfortynge
of
the
kynge
of
Spayne
and
to
dryue
the
englysshmen
out
of
his
royalme
.
This
tayle
was
publysshed
in
euery
place
/
and
the
kynges
commyssyoners
sente
in
to
euery
good
towne
and
Cyte
/
who
sayd
to
the
gouernours
of
the
townes
.
Syrs
thus
moche
your
towne
is
taxed
at
/
the
whiche
ye
must
pay
incontynent
/
then
the
rulers
sayd
/
syrs
we
shall
gather
this
some
and
then
sende
it

nay

not

we
wyl

and
commaunded
in

of
the
best
of
the
towne
to
goo
to
pryson
without
they
payde
the
some
without
ony
longer
delay
/
the
honest
men
fered
the
pryson
and
the
kynges
dyspleasure
/
wherfore
they
drewe
them
togyder
and
payde
the
money
incontynente
/
and
recouered
it
agayne
of
the
poore
men
thus
they
dyd
in
euery
good
towne
/
so
that
there
were
so
many
tayles
and
taxes
one
after
and
ther
/
for
the
fyrst
was
scante
payde
when
another
began
/
thus
in
that
season
the
noble
royal
me
of
fraunce
was
gouerned
and
the
poore
people
ouer
ledde
.
So
that
many
auoyded
out
of
theyr
townes
and
forsoke
theyr
herytages
and
houses
/
for
they
were
fayne
to
sell
all
that
they
had
/
and
some
wente
to
dwell
in
Haynalte
and
in
to
the
bysshopryche
of

where
as
there
ranne

THe

when

cost
had

/
and
shewe
what
became
theron
.
I
Byleue
that
they

thought
to

ben
comforted
by

of
counsayle
by
the
moost
valyaunt
knyghtes
of

then
an

Thus

of
Castell
who

/
and
also
I
am
not

that
I
am

at

I
sholde
haue

Syr

cursed

I

I
neuer
lost
so

as
I
dyd
at

in

I
shewed

/
syr
Gaultyer
I
speke
it
that
when
ye
and
your

come
in
to
Castell
syth
ye
two
be
the
chefe
capytaynes
of

that

be
requyred
by

be

aduysed
that
ye
gyue
not

counsayle
to

to

the

/
the
kynge

the
Englysshe
men
or
the
Portyngales
/
for
all
these
be
famylyer
togyder
and
be
all
as
one
/
&
the
englysshe
men
desyre
to
haue
batayle
by
.ii.
reasons
/
one
is
of
a
grete
season
they
haue
had
noo
profyte
/
they
be
poore
and
haue
wonne
nothynge
of
a
longe
tyme
but
rather
spende
and
haue
lost
.
Wherfore
they
wyll
be
redy
to
auaunce
themselfe
in
hope
to
gete
some
newe
profyte
/
and
suche
people
as
be
aduenturers
desyrynge
other
mennes
goodes
wyll
fyght
with
a
hardy
courage
and
often
tymes
fortune
serueth
them
well
/
the
other
reason
is
/
the
duke
of
Lancastre
knoweth
surely
that
he
can
not
come
parfytely
nor
peasybly
to
the
herytage
of
Castell
whiche
he
demaundeth
to
haue
by
the
ryght
of
his
wyfe
whom
he
calleth
ryghtfull
enherytoure
/
but
all
onely
by
batayle
/
for
he
knoweth
well
yf
he
myght
haue
and
obteyne
one
iourney
agaynst
the
kynge
of
Castell
that
all
the
countrey
then
wolde
yelde
to
hym
and
trymble
before
hym
/
&
for
this
entente
he
is
come
in
to
Galyce
and
hath
gyuen
one
of
his
doughters
in
maryage
to
the
kynge
of
Portyngale
to
the
entente
that
he
sholde
ayde
his
quarell
/
and
syrs
I
saye
this
to
you
/
for
if
the
matter
sholde
fall
otherwyse
then
well
ye
and
your
felowe
shall
bere
more
blame
then
ony
other
.
Syr
sayd
syr
Gaultyer
I
thanke
you
of
your
good
aduertysement
and
syr
my
seruyce
shall
be
redy
to

pleasure
/
for
at
this
day
ye
be
amonge
other
crysten
prynces
reputed
for
one
of
the
moost
sagest
and
happest
in
all
your
aduentures
/
but
syr
my
companyon
and
I
haue
one
aboue
vs
who
is
chefe
souerayne
of
all
our
company
that
is
the
duke
of
Borbon
/
and
tyll
he
be
come
in
to
Castell
we
shall
make
no
hast
to
fyght
with
our
enemyes
what
soeuer
ony

saye
/
so
they
entred
in
to
other
talkynge
tyll
the

of

demaunded
for

.
Then
they
dranke

syr

retourned

then
the
englysshe

spake
no

and
the
ladyes
and
damoyselles
sayd
howe
the
knyghtes

and
the
kynge
of

sayd
the

and
spake
to

sayd
/
syr
Iohn
in

theyr

were
faster
tyed

then
the

regarded
agayne
the
two
knyghtes
to
se
theyr
thyrde
course
.
THus
they
ranne
togyder
the
thyrde
course
and
regarded
eche
other
wysely
to
take
theyr
aduauntage
/
they
myght
well
so
doo
/
for
theyr
horses
serued
them
at
theyr
wysshyng
and
so
they
strake
eche

agayne
on
the
helme
in
suche
wyse
that
theyr
eyen
trimbled
in

and
agayne
syr
Raynoldes
helme
flewe
of

and
so
eche
other
passed
forth
theyr
course
and
demeaned
themselfe
fresshly
/
so
that
euery
man
sayd
howe
they
had
nobly
iusted
/
but
the
englysshmen
blamed
gretely
syr
Raynolde
du
Roy
in
that
his
helme
was
no
faster
set
on
his

/
but
the
duke
of
Lancastre
blamed
hym
nothyng
but
sayd
I
thynke
hym
wyse
that
can
in
feates
of

seke
his

/
it
semeth
well
that
syr

he
knoweth
more
therin
then
syr

thoughe

So
thus
after
theyr
courses
with
theyr
speres
they
toke
theyr

dyd
theyr
armes
with
them
and
gaue
eche

Howe
the

determyned

Ca.

AFter
these
dedes
of
armes
done
as
I
haue
recorded
The
kynge
of
Portyngale
&
the
duke
of
Laucastre
toke
counsayle
togyder
and
determyned
to
ryde
and
to
entre
in
to
Castell
within
a
shorte
space
/
and
that
the
kynge
of
Portyngale
with
all
his
power
sholde
ryde
on
the
fronters
and
so
to
entre
in
to
Castell
/
and
the
duke
and
his
rowte
to
entre
on
the
boundes
of
Galyce
and
to
conquere
suche
townes
and
fortresses
as
were
agaynst

and
yf
Iohn
of

dyd
assemble
his
oost
agaynst
them
to
make
batayle
/
them
bothe
theyr
oostes
to
drawe
togyder
/
It
was
thought
moost
necessary
to
haue
theyr
oostes
a
sondre
tyll
nede
were
rather
then
togyder
/
to
exchewe
sykenes
that
myght
fall
&
to
haue
the
more
easyer
lodgynge
and
foragynge
in
exchewyng
of
debates
&
dyscordes
/
for
englysshmen
be
hasty
&
prowde
in
the
felde
/
&
the
Portyngales
hote
&
dysdaynful
&
can
not
sustre
/
but
it
was
thought
that
in
a
grete
iourney
of
batayle
they
sholde
ryght
wel
agree
togyder
/
this
counsayle
was
determyned
&
the
kynge
sayd
to
the
duke
/
syr
as
soone
as
I
haue
knowledge
that
ye
set
forwarde
I
shall
doo
in
lyke
case
for
I
and
my
men
be
redy
/
&
they
desyre
nothynge
elles
but
batayle
/
syr
sayd
the
duke
and
I
shall
not
longe
syr
styll
it
is
shewed
me
howe
as
yet
there
be
certayne
townes
in
Galyce
that
rebell
agaynst
vs
/
I
wyll
goo
and
vysyte
them
/
and
after
that
I
wyll
seke
out
for
our
enemyes
/
whersoeuer
I
can
fynde
them
.
Thus
the
kynge
of
Portyngale
toke
leue
of
the
duke
and
duches
/
and
in
lyke
wyse
so
dyd
the
quene
Phelyp
and
her
yonge
syster
katheryne
for
it
was
ordeyned
that
the
yonge
lady
sholde
abyde
al
the
warre
season
with
her
syster
the
quene
at
the
cyte
of
Porte
in
Portyngale
/
it
was
thought
she
coulde
be
in
ony
better
kepynge
/
and
the
duches
retourned
to
saynt
Iaques
in
Galyce
/
so
thus
euery
body
departed
thyder
as
they
sholde
doo
/
the
kynge
to
the
cyte
of
Porte
/
and
the
duches
to
the
towne
of
saynt
Iaques
well
accompanyed
with
knyghtes
and
squyers
/
and
the
duke
taryed
at
Besances
and
there
aboute
/
and
prepayred
shortly
to
set
forwarde
/
he
was
desyrous
to
departe
bycause
it
was
in
the
ioly
lusty
moneth
of
Aprell
at
whiche
season
in
Galyce
the
grasse
is
full
growen
and
all
theyr
corne
and
herbes
floures
and
fruytes
redy
rype
the
countrey
is
so
hote
that
in
the
begynnynge
of
Iune
haruest
is
past
/
the
duke
thought
the
season
goodly
to
set
forwarde

army
.
¶
Nowe

speke
of

of

for
naturally
he
had

coulde
gyue

take

by

somtyme

M.
persones

The

So
that
day
and
nyght
the
frensshmen
were
at
dyuers
communycacyons
/
and
in

wyse
soo
were
the

Suche
as

wolde
not

for

reasons
one
was
if
he
fought

lost
the

he
lost
his

without

/
the
kynge
hymselfe
thought
it
not
good
to

/
he
fered
sore
the

of
the
warre
/
nor
also
he
knewe
not
euery
mannes
mynde
who
loued
hym
and
who
dyd

Thus
the
matter
rested
tyll
the
nexte
daye
then
euery
man
retourned
to
the
palays
/
and
the
kynge
entred

IN

were
many

where
as
the

dyscomfyted

wherby
he
had
suche

that
yf
suche

he
sholde

for

when
the
kynge
had
demaunded
euery
man
and
herde
all

Then
he
sayd
to
syr

/
syrs
let

These

regarded
eche

syr
Wyllyam
sayd
to

syr
speke

/
nay
I
wyll
not

speke
you
/
ye
haue

Then
syr
Wyllyam
aduysed
hymselfe
and
sayd
/
syr
and
it
lyke
your

me
thynke
ye
ought
gretely
to

who
are
come

syr
it

that

But
they

to

the
whiche
thynge
nowe

your

can
not
be
suffred
for

reasons
/
the
pryncypall
reason
is
/
syr
we
tary
for
the
duke
of
Borbon
who
is
our
souerayne
capytayne
who
wyll
be
here
shortely
and
he
shall
gretely
enforce
vs
with
newe
fresshe
men
/
there
be
many
nowe
here
with
vs
that
were
neuer
in
this

before

it
were
necessary
that
they
lerned
the

of
this

a
two
or
a
thre
monethes
/
for
it
proueth
but
seldome
well
to
hastely
to
fyght
with
oure
enemyes
/
But
lette
vs
make
wyse
warre
by
garysons
a
two
or
a
thre
monethes
/
and
let
the
Englysshemen
and
Portyngales
ryde
abrode
in
Galyce
where
they
lyst
/
yf
they
conquere
certayne
townes
it
is
but
a
small
matter
/
as
soone
as
they
be
departed
out
of
the
countrey
they
wyll
be
soone
wonne
agayne
.
Also
syr
there
is
one
poynte
/
in
armes
lyeth
many
aduentures
/
syr
let
them
ryde
abrode
in
the
countrey
whiche
is
hoote
and
of
a
stronge
ayre
/
they
maye
take
suche
trauayle
and
sykenes
that
they
maye
happen
repente
them
that
they
haue
come
soo
forwarde
/
for
they
shall
not
fynde
the
ayre
soo
attemperate
there
as
it
is
in
Englande
or
in
fraunce
/
nor
the
wynes
so
pleasaunt
/
for
in
Galyce
the
ryuers
be
troublous
and
coolde
bycause
of
the
snowes
that
dyscende
downe
frome
the
mountaynes
wherby
they
&
theyr
horses
after
theyr
trauayle
all
the
daye
in
the
hoote
sone
shall
be
morfoundred
or
they
be
ware
/
they
be
not
made
of
stele
nor
yet
of
yron
/
but
at
lengthe
they
shall
not
endure
the
hote
countrey
of
Castell
/
they
be
men
as
we
be
.
Thus
I
thynke
we
can
not
better
bete
them
/
but
to
let
them
go
where
they
lyst
they
shall
fynde
nothynge
in
the
playne
countreys
nor
no
delectable
places
to
refresshe
them
for
as
I
vnderstande
all
the
open
countrey
is
all
redy
dystroyed
with
our
owne
men
/
and
I
alowe
well
that
aduyse
/
for
yf
it
were
to
doo
I
wolde
counsayle
the
same
/
syrs
yf
there
be
ony

can
speke
better
let
hym
speke
/
we
shall
be
glad
to
here
hym
/
and
this
syr
Gaultyer
and
I
desyre
you
all
thus
to
doo
/
then
they
all
answered
with
one
voyce
/
lette
this
aduyse
be
admytted
/
we
can
consyder
no
better
nor
more
profytable
way
/
for
the
kynge
of
Castel
&
his

.
SO
it
was
there
they
concluded
that
they
sholde
make
no
countenaunce
of
warre
tyll
the
duke
of
Borbon
and
all
theyr
prouysyons
were

How
a
grete
myscheffe
fell
in
Englande
bytwene
the
gentyll
men
and
comons
for
accompte
of
suche
money
as
hadde
ben
reysed
of
the

.
Ca.
lxxxi
.
HEre
before
ye
haue
herde
howe
the
Frensshe
armye
with
shyppes
on
these
that
were
assembled
at
Sluse
to
haue
gone
in
to
Englande
was
dasshed
&
broken
vp
/
yet
to
shewe
courage
and
desyre
to
goo
another
season
in
to
englande
/
and
that
it
sholde
not
be
sayd
that
the
Frensshe
men
were
recreaunt
to
haue
made
that
voyage
.
Therfore
it
was
ordeyned
that
incontynent
at
the
entre
of
May
and
that
the
see
myght
be
fayre
and
pleasaunt
.
The
constable
of
Fraunce
sholde
make
a
iourney
in
to
englande
with
.iiii.
M.
men
of
armes
and
.ii.
M.
crosse
bowes
/
and
they
sholde
all
assemble
togyder
at
a
cyte
agaynst
the
fronter
of
Cornewall
called
Lentrygnyer
and
there
to
be
made
all
theyr
prouysyon
and
it
was
ordeyned
euery
man
to
haue
a
horse
the
more
easely
to
●yde
abrode
in
Englande
/
for
it
was
thought
without
horse
they
coulde
make
noo
warre
that
sholde
auayle
them
/
soo
there
was
assembled
at
this
hauen
of
Lentygnyer
a
goodly
apparell
of
shyppes
/
barkes
/
Bagengers
and
galeys
wel
fournysshed
with
wynes
/
salte
flesshe
and
bysquet
and
other
thynges
so
largely
that
it
was
suffycyent
for
them
to
lyue
by
a
foure
or
fyue
monethes
without
takynge
or
byenge
of
ony
thynge
in
the
countrey
for
the
constable
and
his
company
knewe
well
that
as
soone
as
the
Englysshe
men
knewe
of
suche
a
company
of
men
of
warre
comynge
on
them
/
they
wolde
dystroye
theyr
owne
goodes
abrode
in
the
playne
countrey
rather
then
we
sholde
haue
ony
case
therof
.
Therfore
the
constable
made
his
prouysyon
redy
on
that
syde
the
see
.
Also
there
was
ordeyned
another
flete
of
shyppes
at
the
hauen
of
Harflewe
for
the
lorde
of
Coucy
/
the
lorde
of
saynt
Poule
and
the
admyrall
of
Fraunce
sholde
there
take
shyppynge
with
two
thousande
speres
in
lykewyse
to
goo
in
to
Englande
/
and
as
the
brute
wente
all
this
was
done
to
drawe
backe
agayne
the
duke
of
Lancastre
and
the
duches
out
of
Castell
.
The
same
season
the
duke
of
Borbon
was
at
Parys
and
thought
surely
that
the
duke
of
Lancastre
sholde
retourne
home
agayne
in
to
Englande
/
wherfore
he
thoughe
he
sholde
haue
no
thynge
to
doo
to
go
in
to
castell
nor
to
trauayle
his
body
so
farre
forthe
.
So
it
was
determyned
that
in
the
Constables
armye
sholde
goo
/
Bretons
Augenyms
/
Poyetenyns
Manceaus
and
Xayngrons
/
with
knyghtes
and
squyers
of
the
lowe
marches
/
and
with
the
lorde
of
saynt
Poule
and
with
the
lorde
of
Coucy
sholde
go
frensshmen
/
Normans
/
&
Pycardes
/
and
with
the
duke
of
Borbon
sholde
goo
two
thousande
speres
of
Berrey
/
Auuernake
/
of
Lymosyn
/
Borgoyne
and
of
the
bace
marches
.
Thus
in
that
season
the
matters
were
concluded
in
Fraunce
and
euery
man
knewe
what
he
sholde
do
/
outher
to
go
in
to
Englande
or
in
to
Castell
.
ANd
true
it
was
the
royalme
of
Englande
the
same
tyme
was
in
grete
peryll
&
in
a
gretter
ieoperdye
then
when
the
vyllaynes
of
Essex
and
Kent
rebelled
agaynst
the
kynge
and
the
nobles
of
the
royalme
at
whiche
tyme
they
came
vnto
London
/
I
shall
shewe
you
the
reason
why
/
at
that
season
all
the
noble
men
of
the
royalme
toke
one
parte
togyder
with
the
kynge
agaynst
the
comons
/
but
nowe
it
is
not
soo
/
the
nobles
vary
amonge
themselfe
.
The
kynge
is
agaynst
his
owne
vncles
/
the
duke
of
yorke
and
the
duke
of
Glocestre
and
they
were
agaynst
hym
and
all
this
varyaunce
dyd
ryse
by
the
meanes
of
the
duke
of
Irelande
who
bare
all
the
chefe
rule
aboute
the
kynge
/
and
the
comons
of
Englande
in
dyuers
cytees
knewe
well
of
this
dyscorde
/
they
that
were
sage
men
reputed
it
for
a
grete
euyl
and
fered
that
moche
trouble
sholde
growe
therby
/
but
suche
as
were
lyght
persones
made
noo
rekenynge
therof
/
some
sayenge
that
it
was
for
enuye
that
the
kynges
vncles
hadde
agaynst
the
kynge
theyr
nephewe
/
and
bycause
they
sawe
howe
the
crowne
of
Englande
began
to
growe
farre
of
frome
them
/
and
some
other
sayd
how
the
kynge
was
but
yonge
/
and
byleued
yonge
counsayle
/
and
howe
that
it
were
better
for
hym
to
byleue
hys
vncles
who
mente
noo
thynge
to
hym
but
al
honoure
and
pro●yte
nor
to
the
royalme
of
Englande
/
rather
then
to
be
ruled
by
the
prowde
duke
of
Irelande
who
neuer
sawe
ony
thynge
perteynynge
to
honoure
/
nor
neuer
was
in
ony
batayle
.
Thus
euery
man
dyffered
from
other
in
the
royalme
of
Englande
/
Whiche
trybulacyons
were
well
knowen
in
Fraunce
/
wherfore
they
made
this
grete
prouysyon
to
goo
thyder
with
all
theyr
puyssaunce
thynkynge
to
doo
a
grete
feate
/
on
the
other
syde
/
the
prelates
of
englande
were
in
hatred
one
with
another
as
the
archebysshop
of
Cauntorbury
who
was
of
the
Neuelles
blood
/
with
the
archebysshop
of
yorke
.
And
yet
they
were
countrey
men
borne
/
but
they
hated
mortally
eche
other
bycause
the
lorde
Neuell
hadde
the
rule
and
gouernaunce
of
Northumbrelande
and
soo
to
the
marches
of
Skotlande
aboue
the
erle
of
Northumbrelande
and
his
chyldren
/
the
lorde
Henry
and
the
lorde
Raffe
of
Percy
/
whiche
rule
the
lorde
Neuelles
broder
had
gotten
hym
/
for
he
was
one
of
the
chefe
aboute
the
kynge
with
the
duke
of
Irelande
.

Of

grete
dyscordes
that
were
in
Englande
after
the
brekynge
vp
of
the
Frensshe
armye
/
armye
/
and
how
the
gouernours
about
the
kynge
were
constrayned
by
the
comons
of
the
good
townes
to
make
accomptes
of
suche
money
as
was
come
in

Ca.

AS

that
the
voyage
by
the
see
that
the
frensshmen
sholde
haue
made
beynge
at
Sluse
was
dasshed

Then
in

began
dyuers
murmuracyons
in
sundry
places

and
suche
as
loued
euyll

Where

that
were
in
the
dayes
of
kynge
Edwarde
the

with

we
were

O
What
a
dede
was
that
when
the
noble
kynge
Edwarde
aryued
in
Normandy
/
and
in
Constantyne
and
passed
thrugh
the
royalme
of
Fraunce

and
what
goodly
entrepryse
he
acheued
in

and
after
at
Cressy
he
dyscomfyted
kynge
Phylyp

retourned

But
as
nowe
the
knyghtes

none

¶
Also
the
prynce
of
Wales
sone
to
this
noble
kynge
/
dyd
he
not
take
the
Frensshe
kynge

Iohn
and
dyscomfyted
his
pyssaunce
at
Poycters
with
a
smal
nombre
of
people
agaynste
the
people
that
kynge
Iohn
hadde
/
In
those

Englande
was
fered
and
doubted
/
and
were
spoken
of
thrughe
al
the
worlde
for
the
floure
of
chyualry
/
but
as
nowe
no
man
speketh
of
vs
/
for
nowe
there
is
noo
warre
made
/
but
at
poore
mennes
purses
/
therto
euery
man
is
enclyned
/
in
Fraunce
as
nowe
the
kynge
there
is
but
a
chylde
and
yet
he
hath
done
more
agaynst
vs
then
ony
of
his
predecessours
.
And
also
he
shewed
grete
courage
to
haue
come
in
to
Englande
/
the
lette
therof
was
not
by
hym
/
but
by
his

.
The
tyme
hath
ben
sene
that
yf
suche
an

of
shyppes
had
ben
made
at
Sluse
they
sholde
haue
ben
foughten
withall
in

nowe
the
noble

are
ioyfull
when
they
maye
sytre
at

suffre
them
in

but
yet
for
all
that
they
suffre
not
poore
men
to
be
in

/
but
put
them
to
busynes
to
paye
money
.
The
tyme
hath
ben
that
grete
conquestes
haue
ben
done
in

without

but
suche
ryches
as
hath
ben
gotten
there
it
hath
ben
spred
abrode
in

where
is

the

outher
they

it

it
were
not

for
this

is
not
soo

nor
so
puyssaunt
to
bere
lyke

as
the
royalme

¶
Also
it
appereth
wel
that
we
in
this
royalme
of
englande
are
febled
of
wyttes
and
of
grace
.
We
were
wonte

knowe
euery

that
was
done
in
Fraunce
a
thre

foure
monethes
or
the

wherby
we
myght
conuenyently
make
prouysyon

as
nowe
we

noo

/
But
the
Frensshe
men
knoweth
all
our

/
we
cannot
tell
in
whome
is
the
fawte
/
it
wyll

There

for

THus
dyuersely
men
talked
in
Englande
as

soo
that

And

There

Thus

ANd
when
season
of

was
come
and
the
ioly
moneth
of
Maye
in
the
yere
of
our
lorde
god
.
M.CCC
.
foure
score
and
.vii.
In
the
same
season
that
the
duke
of
Lancastre
was
in
Galyce
/
and
conquered
there
/
and
that
the
kynge
of
Portyngale
with

rode
abrode
in
Castell
without

Thenne
was
it
ordeyned
in

as
ye

before
howe
the

in

sholde
the

make
a

in

with
a

thousande
men
of

and
two
thousande
crosse

/
and

it
was
ordeyned

without

for
the
space
of
thre
monethes
with
other
prouysyon
of
hay
&
ootes
for
theyr
horses
&
a
daye
was
prefyxed
amonge
the
capytaynes
when
they
sholde
departe
/
and
were
determyned
to
lande
in
englande
in
two
hauens
at
Douer
/
and
at
Orwell
/
thus
the
daye
approched
of
theyr
departure
.
At
Lentrygnyer
prouysyon
was
made
and
put
in
to
the
shyppes
for
them
that
sholde
passe
from
thens
/

in
lyke
wyse
was
done
at
Harflewe
/
and
euery
man
of

was
payde

for

.
This
iourney
was
soo
farre
forwarde

that
it
was
thought
it
coulde
not

ben
broken

¶
Nor
also
it
brake
not
by
noo
cause
of
the
capytaynes
that
were
ordeyned
to
goo
in
that
voyage
.
But
it
brake
by
another
incydent
and
by
a
meruayllous
matter
that
fell
in
Bretayne
wherwith
the
Frensshe
kynge
and
his
counsayle
were
soore
dyspleased
/
but
they
coulde
not
amende
it
/
wherfore
it
behoued
them
wysely
to
dyssymule
the
matter
for
it
was
no
tyme
then
to
remedy
it
.
¶
Also
other
tydynges
came
vnto
the
Frensshe
kynge
out
of
the
partyes
of
Almayne
as
I
shall
shewe
you
hereafter
when
tyme
and
place
shall
requyre
it
.
But
fyrst
we
wyll
speke
of
the
matters
of
Bretayne
before
them
of
Almayne
/
for
they
of
Bretayne
fell
fyrste
/
and
were
worste
reputed
/
thoughe
other
cost
more
.
YF
I
sholde
saye
that
suche
matters
fell
in
that
season
and
not
open
clerely
the
mater
whiche
was
grete
/
peryllous
and
horryble
/
it
myght
be
a
cronycle
/
but
n●o
hystory
/
I
myght
let
it
ouerpasse
yf
I
lyst
/
but
I
wyll
not
doo
soo
/
I
shall
declare
the
case
syth
god
hathe
gyuen
me
the
knowledge
therof
/
and
tyme
and
leysure
to
cronycle
the
matter
at
lengthe
.
¶
ye
haue
herde
here
before
in
dyuers
places
in
this
hystory
howe
syr
Iohn
of
Mountforde
named
duke
of
Bretayne
/
and
surely
so
he
was
by
conquest
and
not
by
ryght
lyne
/
howbeit
alwayes
he
maynteyned
the
warre
and
oppynyon
of
the
kynge
of
Englande
and
of
his
chydren
agaynst
the
frensshe
kynge
.
Also
he
had
good
cause
soo
to
doo
on
his
partye
/
for
without
the
ayde
of
englande
he
hadde
not
atteyned
as
he
dyd
nother
before
Alroy
nor
in
other
places
.
Also
ye
haue
herde
here
before
howe
the
duke
of
Bretayne
coulde
not
haue
his
entente
of
all
the
nobles
of
his
countrey
/
nor
of
all
the
good
townes
specyally
of
syr
Bertram
of
Clesquy
as
longe
as
he
lyued
/
nor
of
syr
Olyuer
of
Clysson
constable
of
Fraunce
/
nor
of
the
lordes
de
la
Vale
/
and
of
Beawmanoyre
/
nor
the
lorde
of
Rase
/
of
Dygnant
/
the
vycount
of
Rohan
/
nor
of
the
lorde
of
Rochforde
/
for
whereas
these
lordes
enclyned
nyghe
all
Bretayne
folowed
.
They
were
contente
to
take
parte
with
theyr
lorde
the
duke
agaynst
all
maner
of
men
excepte
agaynst
the
crowne
of
Fraunce
.
And
surely
I
can
not
se
nor
ymagyne
by
what
waye
/
but
that
the
Bretons
pryncypally
regarded
euer
the
honoure
of
Fraunce
/
it
maye
well
appere
by
that
that
is
wrytten
here
before
in
this
hystory
.
I
saye
not
this
by
noo
corrupcyon
nor
fauoure
that
I
haue
to
the
erle
Guy
of
Bloys
who
hath
ben
good
lorde
vnto
me
/
and
I
haue
hadde
moche
profyte
by
hym
who
was
nephewe
and
nexte
to
the
erle
Loys
of
Bloys
broder
germayne
to
saynt
Charles
of
Bloys
/
and
as
longe
as
he
lyued
he
was
duke
of
Bretayne
.
Truely
I
saye
not
this
for
no
cause
but
all
onely
to
declare
the
trouthe
And
also
the
gentyll
prynce
and
erle
that
hathe
caused
me
to
wryte
this
story
wolde
in
no
wyse
that
I
sholde
swarue
from
the
trouth
.
NOwe
to
retourne
to
our
purpose
ye
knowe
well
as
longe
as
duke
Iohan
of
Bretayne
lyued
he
coulde
neuer
attayne
to
haue
all
his
men
in
euery
poynte
to
agree
to
his
oppynyons
.
And
he
sore
fered
them
lest
at
the
last
they
sholde
haue
taken
hym
and
put
hym
in
pryson
in
Fraunce
.
Wherfore
he
departed
out
of
Bretayne
and
wente
in
to
Englande
with
all
his
householde
/
and
the
lady
his
wyfe
Iahan
of
Holande
doughter
somtyme
of
the
good
knyght
syr
Thomas
Holande
/
and
thus
a
season
he
became
seruaunt
to
kynge
Rycharde
of
Englande
/
and
afterwarde
he
wente
in
to
Flaunders
to
the
erle
of
Bloys
who
was
his
cosyn
germayne
&
there
taryed
more
then
a
yere
and
an
halfe
.
¶
Fynally
they
of
his
owne
countrey
sente
for
hym
/
and
soo
by
good
accorde
thyder
he
wente
.
¶
And
when
he
came
in
to
his
countrey
there
were
certayne
townes
closed
styl
agaynst
hym
and
rebelled
/
and
specyally
the
cyte
of
Nauntes
.
But
all
his
lordes
/
knyghtes
and
prelates
were
all
of
his
accorde
excepte
the
lordes
before
rehersed
/
and
to
haue
the
sygnory
of
them
/
and
to
gete
the
fauoure
and
good
wyll
of
the
good
townes
and
Cytyes
/
and
to
put
the
Frensshe
kynge
in
more
fere
bycause
he
wolde
ouerpresse
them
with
taxes
and
subsydyes
as
they
dyd
in
Fraunce
and
in
Pycardye
whiche
they
wolde
not
suffre
in
Bretayne
.
Therfore
he
sente
vnto
the
kynge
of
Englande
for
socoure
and
ayde
of
men
of
warre
and
archers
/
promysynge
that
yf
the
kynge
of
Englande
wolde
come
in
too
Bretayne
/
or
elles
one
of
his
vncles
with
a
grete
puyssaunce
of
men
of
armes
and
of
archers
howe
that
his
countrey
of
Bretayne
sholde
be
opened
redy
to
receyue
hym
and
his
company
.
¶
The
kynge
of
Englande
and
his
counsayle
were
gladde
of
those
tydynges
&
thought
them
good
and
concluded
to
sende
thyder
/
them
prouysyon
was
made
/
and
thyder
was
sente
the
erle
of
Buckyngham
with
.iii.
M.
men
of
armes
and
.viii.
M.
archers
who
aryued
at
Calays
/
and
passed
throughe
the
royalme
of
Fraunce
without
ony
resystence
as
it
hathe
ben
shewed
here
before
demaundynge
noo
thynge
but
batayle
/
and
so
they
came
in
to
Bretayne
trustynge
to
haue
founde
the
countrey
redy
open
for
them
to
receyue
and
to
refresshe
them
/
for
●●rely
they
had
made
a
longe
voyage
.
Howbeit
they
founde
it
contrary
dysposed
/
for
the
duke
of
Bretayne
was
soo
ledde
by
his
men
and
so
wysely
entreated
that
they
made
a
peas
bytwene
hym
and
the
yonge
Charles
kynge
as
then
in
fraunce
/
but
with
kynge
Charles
his
fader
he
coulde
neuer
haue
peas
he
hated
hym
soo
sore
.
The
duke
of
Borgoyne
who
was
one
of
the
chese
gouernours
in
the
royalme
of
Fraunce
ayded
gretely
to
make
this
peas
/
he
was
so
desyred
by
the
lady
his
wyfe
bycause
the
duke
of
Bretayne
was
nere
of
theyr
lygnage
soo
he
was
fayne
to
breke
all
his
promyses
with
the
Englysshmen
for
he
coulde
not
be
suffred
to
accomplysshe
his
couenaunt
/
for
the
Bretons
wolde
not
consent
to
yelde
them
to
the
kynge
of
Englande
to
make
warre
agaynst
Fraunce
/
they
sayd
they
were
neuer
of
that
oppynyon
nor
neuer
wolde
be
/
so
that
it
behoued
the
Englysshmen
to
take
theyr
lodgynges
in
the
marches
of
wannes
where
they
suffered
as
moche
pouerte
as
euer
dyd
men
for
one
tyme
/
and
specyally
theyr
horses
dyed
for
hungre
and
pouerte
/
and
soo
in
the
tyme
of
somer
they
departed
out
of
Bretayne
as
euyl
contente
with
the
duke
of
Bretayne
as
myght
be
/
and
not
without
a
cause
.
And
specyally
the
erle
of
Buckyngham
and
the
barons
of
Englande
that
were
in
his
company
/
and
when
they
were
retourned
in
to
Englande
they
made
grete
complayntes
to
the
kynge
and
to
the
duke
of
Lancastre
and
his
counsayle
.
And
then
it
was
deuysed
and
ordeyned
that
Iohn
of
Bretayne
sholde
be
delyuered
/
and
to
brynge
hym
with
puyssaunce
in
to
Bretayne
to
make
warre
there
agaynst
the
duke
of
Bretayne
/
and
the
Englysshe
men
sayd
howe
syr
Iohn
of
Mountforde
knewe
well
howe
they
had
put
hym
in
possessyon
of
the
sygnory
of
Bretayne
for
without
vs
he
hadde
neuer
come
therto
.
And
nowe
to
play
vs
this
tourne
to
cause
vs
to
trauayle
our
bodyes
and
to
spende
the
kynges
treasoure
/
it
behoueth
vs
to
shewe
hym
his
fawtes
.
And
we
can
not
better
be
reuenged
then
to
delyuer
his
aduersary
and
to
brynge
hym
in
to
Bretayne
/
For
all
the
countrey
wyll
delyuer
hym
townes
Cytees
/
and
fortresses
/
and
put
the
other
duke
clene
that
thus
hathe
mocked
and
dysceyued
vs
.
¶
Thus
the
Englysshe
counsayle
were
all
of
one
accorde
/
and
then
Iohn
of
bretayne
was
brought
in
to
the
kynges
presence
/
and
there
it
was
shewed
hym
howe
they
wolde
make
hym
duke
of
Bretayne
and
recouer
for
hym
all
his
herytage
of
Bretayne
.
And
he
sholde
haue
to
his
wyfe
the
lady
Phylyp
of
Lancastre
/
so
that
he
wolde
holde
the
duchy
of
Bretayne
in
fayth
and
homage
of
the
kynge
of
Englande
/
the
whiche
poynte
he
vtterly
refused
.
But
to
take
the
dukes
doughter
in
maryage
he
was
contente
/
But
to
swere
to
be
agaynst
the
crowne
of
fraunce
in
noo
wyse
he
wolde
consente
/
but
rather
to
abyde
in
pryson
all
his
lyfe
.
WHen
the
kynge
and
his
counsayle
sawe
that
/
they
withdrewe
the
grace
that
they
hadde
thought
to
haue
shewed
to
hym
/
and
thenne
he
was
delyuered
in
to
the
kepynge
of
syr
Iohan
Dambretycourte
as
ye
haue
herde
before
/
I
haue
made
as
nowe
relacyon
of
all
these
matters
bycause
of
the
incydentes
that
folowed
after
and
appered
by
the
duke
of
Bretayne
/
for
the
duke
knewe
well
howe
he
was
gretely
out
of
the
fauoure
of
the
noble
men
of
the
royalme
of
Englande
/
and
also
of
the
comons
there
.
And
he
ymagened
that
the
hatred
that
they
bare
to
hym
was
for
the
voyage
that
the
erle
of
Buckyngham
hadde
made
thrughe
Fraunce
to
come
in
to
Bretayne
/
wenynge
to
haue
founde
the
duke
there
and
countrey
open
agaynst
them
/
as
the
duke
of
Bretayne
hadde
promysed
/
whiche
the
Englysshe
men
founde
contrary
.
¶
Also
he
sawe
well
howe
the
kynge
of
Englande
hadde
not
wryten
vnto
hym
soo
amyably
as
he
hadde
done
often
tymes
before
.
And
specyally
as
he
hadde
done
before
the
erle
of
Buckynghams
voyage
.
¶
And
also
he
doubted
that
the
kynge
of
Englande
sholde
delyuer
Iohan
of
Bretayne
to
the
entente
to
make
hym
warre
.
¶
Thenne
the
duke
cast
his
ymagynacyon
how
he
myght
fynde
remedy
in
this
matter

We

The

¶
And
also
when

and
hadde
dyned
with

and
retourned
agayne
to

/
what

Syr

Then
the

perceyued
well
that

were
harder

Soo

The

byleued
these

so
departed
fro
Parys
and
rode

Soo
the
offyce

was
voyde
for
a
season
as
it
was
sayd
that
syr
Guy
of
Tremoyle
sholde

but
it

he
was
soo

he
wolde
not

¶
Howe
tydynges
came

of
Almayne
the
whiche
were
to
hym
ryght
dyspleasaunt

vnto

Ca.

.
THe
same
weke
that
tydynges
came
to
Parys
of
the
takynge
of
the

there
came
also
tydynges
frome
the
partyes
of
Almayne
/
whiche
were
ryght
dyspleasaunt
to
the
kynge
and
to
his
vncles
/
I
shall
shewe
you
how
and
wherfore
/
the
duke
of
Guerles
sone
to
the
duke
of
Iulyers
was
alyed
with
the
kynge
of
Englande
to
make
warre
agaynst
Fraunce
/
and
hadde
taken
a
pencyon
of
foure
thousande
frankes
by
the
yere
/
whiche
pencyon
the
duke
of
Iulyers
his
fader
hadde
in
tyme
past
out
of
the
kynge
of
Englandes
cofers
/
but
or
he
dyed
he
renounced
it
/
and
then
his
sone
who
was
but
yonge
toke
it
agayne
at
the
kynge
of
Englandes
desyre
so
that
he
wolde
defye
the
frensshe
kynge
and
to
make
warre
agaynst
hym
/
and
he
was
enclyned
to
take
the
englysshe
parte
bycause
he
had
warre
with
the
lady
of
Brabant
/
for
he
sawe
well
that
the
duchy
of
Brabant
was
fauourable
to
the
royalme
of
fraunce
/
for
it
sholde
after
retourne
to
the
duke
of
Borgoyne
and
to
his
chyldren
.
Therfore
the
duke
of
Guerles
wolde
shewe
that
the
matter
touched
hym
so
nere
that
he
wolde
doo
the
domage
that
he
myght
to
the
royalme
of
Fraunce
and
to
all
theyr
alyes
.
So
he
sente
letters
of
defyaunce
to
the
frensshe
kynge
whiche
were
no
thynge
pleasaunt
/
accepted
of
the
kynge
nor
of
his
counsayle
as
I
shall
shewe
you
hereafter
in
the
hystory
when
it
shall
be
conuenyent
to
speke
therof
in
the
shewynge
of
the
warre
of
Bretayne
and
of
Guerles
/
the
frensshe
kynge
made
noo
semblaunt
therof
/
but
made
good
chere
to
the
squyer
of
Guerles
who
hadde
brought
the
defpaunce
howbeit
he
was
afrayde
for
when
he
came
to
the
cyte
of
Tourney
he
wolde
haue
gone
no
f●rther
/
but
he
had
shewed
the
defyaunce
to
the
pro●ost
of
the
towne
/
and
so
wolde
haue
〈…〉
agayne
sayenge
that
it
was
suffycyent
to
declare
his
message
in
soo
noble
a
towne
as
Tourney
but
they
of
the
towne
were
not
so
〈◊〉
/
but
arested
the
squyer
and
put
hym
in
sure
pryson
/
and
then
they
sente
worde
therof
to
the
duke
of
Borgoyne
to
know
his
pleasure
.
Then
the
duke
wrote
to
the
prou●st
of
Tourney
that
he
sholde
sende
to
hym
the
squyer
with
his
defyauces
/
and
so
he
was
brought
to
Parys
/
and
he
fered
lest
he
sholde
dye
/
but
when
he
came
to
Parys
the
kynge
and
his
vncles
and
the
other
lordes
dyd
noo
thynge
to
hym
but
all

And
the
frensshe
kynge
gaue
hym
a
goblet
of
syluer
weynge

marke
and

frankes
within
it
/
and
they
gaue
hym
a
sa●f●onduyte
to
retourne
in
to
his
countrey
/
so
by
reason
of
these
tydynges
the
courte
of
fraunce
was
sore
troubled
/
and
the
frensshe
counsayle
was
sore
troubled
when
the
constable
of
fraunce
came
and
made
his
complaynte
of
the
duke
of
Bretayne
/
for
they
sawe
well
that
trouble
&
expence
began
to
ryse
on
euery
syde
/
and
they
sawe
well
howe
they
must
enploy
all
theyr
wyttes
to
exchewe
suche
inconuenyentes
/
they
thought
that
the
constable
who
had
serued
the
kyng
soo
longe
in
●launders
and
other
places
sholde
haue
some
helpe
in

raunsomed
hym

taken
his

or
good
reason
/
and
specyally
the
lorde
of
Coucy
and
the
admyrall
was
sore
dyspleased
with
it

¶
Nowe
let

Then

ANd
in

the

trompet
began

Then
the

drewe
in

and
all
suche
as

ordeyned
to

to
the

/
they
of

the
Englysshemen
wolde
assayle

and
if

they

take

/
worse
they
can
not

we
haue
ben

places
farre
febler
then
this
is
/
and
yet
we
haue
kepte
it
without
daunger
or
domage
/
soo
by
reason
of
theyr
wordes
the
Galycyens
were
incouraged
/
for
of
themselfe
they
hadde
rather
haue
yelded
them
vp
/
for
accordynge
to
trouthe
the
comons
in
Castell
and
Galyce
are
lytell
worth
in
batayle
/
they
are
but
euyll
armed
and
small
of
courage
.
The
gentyll
men
are
ryght
good
on
horse
backe
.
THus
the
Englysshemen
redy
apparelled
to
the
assaulte
aboute
the
sone
rysynge
came
in
to
the
dykes
iuste
vnto
the
pales
/
and
with
ares
and
other
wepons
bet
downe
the
pales
to
theyr
feete
/
but
yet
for
all
that
they
were
not
on
the
walle
/
for
thenne
they
hadde
another
dyke
to
passe
as
large
as
the
other
was
/
thenne
with
moche
payne
they
passed
that
dyke
and
came
to
the
walles
.
And
when
they
within
sawe
them
come
soo
nere
they
defended
themselfe
valyauntly
.
¶
Thenne
the
Galycyens
cast
out
dartes
in
suche
wyse
that
whome
soo
euer
they
strake
were
soore
hurte
without
he
were
well
pauessed
/
Thenne
they
reysed
vp
ladders
for
to
mounte
vp
too
the
walles
.
There
knyghtes
and
squyers
auaunced
themselfe
to
mounte
with
targyes
ouer
theyr
heedes
/
and
swordes
in
theyr
handes
/
and
so
came
and
fought
hande
to
hande
with
the
Bretous
who
defended
themselfe
ryght
nobly
/
for
I
repute
it
for
a
grete
valyauntues
that
they
wol●e
abyde
the
assaulte
/
for
they
knewe
well
they
sholde
haue
as
thenne
no
socoure
.
For
it
was
determyned
bytwene
the
kynge
of
Castell
and
the
Frensshe
men
to
suffre
the
Englysshmen
at
that
tyme
to
do
what
they
lyft
in
Galyce
or
elles
where
and
to
passe
without
batayle
.
Then
some
of
the
englysshe
men
sayd
yf
other
townes
in
Castell
gyue
vs
as
moche
to
doo
as
this
doth
it
shall
be
longe
or
we
wynne
the
royalme
/
and
thenne
other
sayd
/
there
is
moche
pyllage
within
the
towne
brought
thyder
out
of
all
the
countrey
aboute
.
And
therfore
they
are
lothe
to
yelde
vp
the
towne
.
Thenne
some
demaunded
who
were
capytaynes
within
the
towne
/
and
suche
as
knewe
them
sayd
/
two
basterdes
Bretons
borne
good
men
of
armes
and
experte
in
all
syeges
/
and
the
one
is
called
the
bastarde
of
Pennefort
/
and
the
other
the
basterde
of
Aulroy
/
but
what
soeuer
they
be
they
be
valyaunt
men
of
armes
/
for
they
se
none
apparence
of
socoure
/
and
yet
they
wyll
not
yelde
vp
.
And
suche
as
were
mounted
vp
were
beten
downe
agayne
perforce
.
And
when
the
duke
of
Lancastre
was
vp
and
redy
and
herde
the
bruyre
of
the
assaulte
sayd
he
wolde
goo
and
beholde
them
/
and
soo
lepte
on
a
courser
and
vnarmed
rode
to
the
assaulte
and
his
standerde
before
hym
with
the
hele
armes
of
Englande
and
of
Fraunce
/
and
at
his
comynge
the
assaulte
encreased
.
Thenne
euery
man
auaunced
hymselfe
to
gete
lawde
and
prayse
/
and
in
lyke
wyse
they
within
.
Whenne
they
sawe
that
the
duke
was
there
/
they
enforced
themselfe
to
shewe
theyr
valyauntnes
.
Thus
in
assaylynge
and
defendynge
they
contynued
tyll
it
was
thre
of
the
clocke
.
And
it
was
not
apparent
that
they
sholde
haue
wonne
the
towne
at
that
assaulte
.
Thenne
the
duke
demaunded
who
were
capytaynes
within
the
towne
/
and
it
was
shewed

.
Thenne
he
sayd

I

A

Wherfore

THen
the

The

with

and
soo
his

The

so

therby
the

they
had

purpose
the

dyd

they
supposed
that
the

.
THus
as
I
haue
sayd
before
the
royalme
of
Fraunce
was
brought
in

specyally
the

as
I
shall

And
also
the

were
sore
dyspleased
in
that
the
duke
of
Bretayne
had
broken
theyr

by
the

/
and
he
that
was
chefe

to
the

of
fraunce
/
howbeit
the
kynge
sonne
passed
ouer
all
the
matters
/
for
he
was
but
yo●ge
/
wherfore
he
regarded
it
not
so
sore
as
though
he
had
ben
of
perfyte
age
/
but
suche
as
were
auncyent

wyse
sayd
that
by
suche
lyke
matters
the
royalme
of

hath
had
moche
a

when
the

for

to

also
as

In
lyke

shewed
me
many
thynges

and
more
wolde
haue
done
if

Thus
bytwene
Mounte

and
Premylly
was

grete
leages
and
we
rode
but
softely
/
and
in

/
the
whiche
I
bare
well
in
my
remembraunce
/
and
specyally
of
the
aduentures
of
Bretayne
.
And
thus
as
we
rode
&
that
we
came
nere
to
Premylly
/
we
entred
in
to
a
medowe
there
this

rested
and
sayd
A

ones
a

profytable
for

so
we
mounted
:
than
we
rode
forthe
fayre
and
easely
/
and
as
we
rode
he
sayde
.
In
the
season
that
I
haue
shewed
you
quod
this
knight
/
this
countre
here
was
full
of
Englysshmen
/
robbers
and
pyllers
of
Gascoyne
bretons
and
almayns
/
and
aduenturers
of
all
nacions
:
For
all
the
countre
on
bothe
sydes
of
the
ryuer
of
Loyre
/
were
replenysshed
with
them
:
For
the
warre
bytwene
Fraunce
and
Englande
was
newly
renewed
/
so
that
all
maner
of
theues
and
robbers
entred
in
to
this
countrey
/
for
here
they
assembled
and
fortifyed
them selfe
/
to
conquere
the
castell
of
Beauforde
in
the
valey
/
that
ye
sawe
but
late
/
was
in
their
handes
/
and
all
the
countrey
about
.
Thus
to
come
to
my
purpose
/
the
Englysshmen
&
gascoyns
had
in
their
handes
/
the
towne
and
castell
of
Prinulley
/
and
had
gretly
fortifyed
it
.
And
they
helde
also
other
smalle
forteresses
a
longe
by
the
ryuer
of
Loyre
:
And
whan
so
euer
they
wolde
ryde
/
they
were
to
the
nombre
bytwene
a
thousande
and
eyght
hundred
fightynge
men
:
Than
sir
Bertram
/
sir
Iohan
of
Beull
/
and
the
lorde
of
Mailly
&
other
knyghtes
of
this
countrey
sette
their
ymaginacions
/
howe
they
myght
delyuer
the
countrey
of
these
people
/
and
gathered
toguyder
a
fyue
hundred
speares
/
and
had
spyes
/
and
knewe
whan
the
Englysshe
men
wolde
ryde
/
and
were
in
purpose
to
come
before
Samure
/
For
the
capytayns
of
all
their
fortresses
were
assembled
to
guyder
at
Prinully
/
whiche
is
a
lytell
here
before
vs
.
The
frenchmen
rode
and
passed
the
water
that
ye
se
here
by
vs
/
and
layde
themselve
in
a
busshment
in
a
wode
/
a
lytell
here
besyde
on
our
ryght
hande
.
And
in
the
mornynge
at
the
sonne
risynge
/
the
Englysshe
men
and
other
departed
from
Prinully
/
and
they
were
a
nyne
hundred
men
.
And
whanne
oure
men
sawe
them
/
they
knewe
well
they
must
fyght
/
and
there
they
communed
toguyder
/
what
crye
they
shulde
call
on
that
daye
.
Some
wolde
haue
cryed
the
crye
of
sir
Bertrame
/
but
he
wolde
in
no
wyse
agre
therto
:
And
more
ouer
he
sayd
/
that
he
wolde
displaye
no
baner
that
day
/
but
that
he
wolde
fyght
vnder
the
baner
of
sir
Iohan
de
Beull
.
Than
our
ennemyes
came
in
to
this
medowe
/
where
as
I
lyghted
right
nowe
.
and
as
soone
as
they
were
entred
we
brake
out
of
our
busshement
and
entred
in
to
the
medowe
.
And
as
soone
as
they
sawe
vs
they
a
lyghted
a
fote
/
and
we
in
lykewise
:
and
so
entred
eche
within
other
/
the●
was
sore
foynynge
eche
agaynst
other
/
&
dyuers
of
bothe
parties
ouerthrowen
.
Thus
our
batayle
endured
a
longe
space
/
without
knowyng
who
shulde
haue
the
vyctorie
/
but
to
saye
the
trouth
/
we
were
all
chosen
men
of
armes
/
and
many
of
our
ennemyes
were
but
yuell
armed
/
and
were
but
theues
and
robbers
/
Howbeit
they
founde
vs
worke
ynoughe
/
and
oure
handes
full
.
But
than
sir
Moris
Cresiquede
and
sir
Geffray
Richone
/
sir
Geffray
Caresnell
and
Morsonase
/
folowed
sir
Bertam
at
the
spurres
.
They
came
and
refresshed
vs
with
a
threscore
speares
of
good
men
of
armes
.
&
they
russhed
in
with
their
horses
and
brake
oure
ennemyes
so
a
brode
/
that
they
coude
nat
assemble
toguyder
agayne
.
And
whanne
the
capytayus
of
these
pyllers
sawe
that
the
iourney
wente
agaynst
them
/
they
tooke
their

/
nat
all
/
for
there
abode
in
the
felde
a
thre
hundred
slayne
and
taken
:
and
the
chase
endured
to
saynt
Mors
on
the
ryuer
of
Loyre
/
&
there
they
entred
in
to
a
bastell
.
sir
Robert
Sem
/
Robert
Herne
/
Richarde
Gylle
/
and
Iacomyne
Clerke
.
These
foure
saued
them selfe
and
passed
ouer
the
ryuer
of
Loyre
/
and
so
entred
in
to
foure
fortresses
/
that
their
men
helde
on
that
syde
the
ryuer
/
but
they
taryed
nat
longe
there
/
but
rode
in
to
Auuergne
and
Lymosyn
.
THus
by
this
iourney
/
all
the
countre
here
aboute
was
delyuered
/
for
the
robbers
nor
they
assembled
nomore
toguyder
after
.
Therfore
I
saye
/
that
ser
Bertram
the
constable
was
a
valyaunt
man
/
and
profitable
for
the
realme
of
Fraunce
.
sir
quod
I
it
is
trewe
/
he
was
a
valyaunt
man
/
and
so
is
sir
Olyuer
of
Clesquyn
.
and
whan
I
named
hym
Clesquyn
the
knight
smyled
/
And
I
demaunded
of
hym
where
at
he
smyled
.
sir
quod
he
I
shall
shewe
you
/
bycause
ye
name
hym
Clesquyn
/
for
that
is
nat
his
right
name
nor
neuer
was
/
thoughe
euery
man
call
hym
so
/
yet
all
we
of
Bretayne
call
hym
the
same
.
And
ser
Bertram
while
he
lyued
wolde
gladly
haue
hadde
it
refourmed
/
but
he
coude
nat
amende
it
/
for
the
worde
is
redyer
to
falle
on
a
mannes
tonge
/
than
his
right
name
.
Than
I
desyred
hym
of
his
courtesy
/
to
shewe
me
if
there
were
any
great
difference
bytwene
his
names
.
Nay
sir
quod
he
there
is
no
great
difference
/
but
where
he
is
called
Clesquyn
/
he
shulde
be
named
Glaye
aquyne
.
And
I
shall
shewe
you
as
I
haue
herde
it
reported
/
howe
that
name
came
to
hym
/
and
it
is
of
trouthe
/
For
ye
shall
fynde
it
written
in
the
auncyent
cronycles
of
Bretaygne
.
The
wordes
of
this
knight
greatly
pleased
me
/
and
I
said
to
hym
Sir
/
ye
shall
do
me
great
pleasure
/
to
shewe
me
the
mater
/
and
I
shall
neuer
forgete
it
/
for
sir
Bertram
was
so
valyaunt
a
knyght
/
that
his
dedes
ought
to
be
put
in
remembraunce
.
That
is
true
qd
the
knyght
/
and
I
shall
shewe
you
.
Thus
sir
Wyllyam
of
Aunsiens
began
his
tale
.
In
the
season
whan
Charles
the
great
raigned
in
Fraunce
/
who
conquered
and
augmented
the
faythe
/
and
was
Emperour
of
Rome
and
kyng
of
Fraunce
and
of
Almaygne
/
and
lyeth
at
Ayes
the
chapell
.
This
kynge
Charles
/
as
we
rede
and
fynde
in
the
auncyent
cronycles
/
For
ye
knowe
well
that
all
the
knowlege
in
the
worlde
is
knowen
by
writyng
/
for
we
haue
nothyng
to
sounde
vpon
trouthe
nor
to
aproue
it
but
by
scripture
.
this
kyng
Charles
was
in
Spayne
diuers
tymes
/
and
at
one
tyme
he
was
styll
there
a
.ix.
yere
/
without
retournyng
in
to
Fraunce
/
but
styll
went
forthe
on
his
conquest
.
In
the
same
season
the●
was
a
kyng
sarazyn
called
Aquyn
/
he
was
kyng
of
Bougie
in
Barbary
/
right
ouer
agaynst
spaigne
/
for
Spaygne
is
a
great
countrey
/
begynnyng
at
saynt
Iohnns
Pie
du
porte
/
for
the
realme
of
Arragon
and
Nauer
/
of
Bisquay
/
of
Portugale
/
of
Connymbres
/
of
Lixbone
/
of
Ciuyle
/
of
Tollet
/
of
Cordwayne
/
and
of
Lyon
.
All
these
be
inclosed
within
Spayne
/
&
other
.
And
this
great
kyng
Charlemayne
/
conquerid
all
these
countreis
.
And
in
this
season
that
the
kyng
taryed
there
so
longe
/
this
kyng
Aquyn
of
Bougy
in
Barbary
/
assembled
his
men
and
came
by
see
in
to
Bretaygne
/
and
arryued
at
the
porte
of
Wannes
/
and
he
hadde
there
with
hym
his
wyfe
and
chyldren
/
and
there
he
conquered
and
went
forwarde
.
Kynge
Charles
was
well
enfourmed
of
this
viage
/
and
howe
kynge
Aquyn
prospered
in
Bretayne
/
but
for
all
that
he
wolde
nat
breke
his
vyage
/
&
sayd
.
Lette
hym
alone
in
Bretaygne
/
it
shal
be
but
a
small
mater
to
delyuer
the
countrey
of
hym
and
of
his
.
Whan
we
haue
ones
●ubdued
his
countrey
here
/
and
brought
it
in
to
the
holy
faythe
.
This
kynge
Aquyn
buylded
a
towre
by
the
See
syde
:
nat
farre
of
fro
Wannes
/
a
goodly
and
a
fayre
towre
/
and
it
was
called
Glaye
/
And
there
this
kynge
Aquyn
lay
moche
.
And
whan
kyng
Charles
had
accomplisshed
his
vyage
/
and
acquyted
all
Galyce
and
Spaygne
from
all
the
myscreantes
/
and
the
kynges
Sarazyns
deed
and
slayne
/
and
all
the
lande
tourned
to
the
Christen
faythe
.
than
he
retourned
in
to
Bretaygne
/
and
on
a
daye
hadde
a
great
batayle
agaynst
this
kynge
Aquyne
/
and
nyghe
all
the
myscreantes
slayne
.
And
so
this
kynge
Aquyne
fledde
in
to
the
castell
of
Glaye
/
and
there
he
hadde
redy
at
the
foote
of
the
towre
a
shyppe
/
and
therin
he
entred
/
and
his
wyfe
and
his
chyldren
.
But
he
and
his
wyfe
made
suche
haste
he
was
so
nere
chased
/
that
they
hadde
no
leysar
to
take
with
them
a
yong
sonne
that
laye
and
slepte
in
the
towre
/
of
a
yere
olde
.
Thus
the
kynge
and
his
wyfe
departed
by
the
see
/
and
this
chylde
was
founde
in
the
towre
of
Glaye
/
and
was
brought
to
kynge
Charlemaygne
/
who
was
right
ioyouse
of
hym
and
said
/
howe
the
chylde
shulde
be
baptysed
/
and
so
he
was
:
and
Rouland
&
Olyuer
helde
hym
ouer
the
fonte
/
and
was
named
Olyuer
.
And
the
kyng
gaue
him
all
the
landes
that
his
father
Aquyn
had
conquered
.
This
chylde
whan
he
came
to
the
age
of
a
man
was
a
good
knight
/
and
his
men
called
hym
sir
Olyuer
de
Glaye
aquyn
/
bycause
he
was
founde
in
the
towre
of
Glaye
/
&
some
to
the
kynge
Aquyn
.
Thus
I
haue
shewed
you
the
firste
fouudacyon
of
sir
Bertram
of
Clesquyn
/
who
shulde
be
called
Glaye
aquyne
.
And
sir
Bertram
in
his
dayes
/
after
the
puttynge
out
of
kynge
Dompeter
of
Castyle
/
and
had
crowned
kyng
Henry
/
sayde
howe
he
wolde
go
in
to
Bougy
to
demaunde
his
herytage
/
And
without
fayle
so
he
had
done
/
for
kyng
Henry
had
lent
hym
men
and
shyppes
to
go
in
to
Bougye
with
a
great
armye
/
if
a
great
lette
had
nat
broken
his
voyage
.
And
that
was
whanne
the
prince
of
Wales
made
warre
vpon
the
sayde
kynge
Henry
/
and
dyde
put
hym
downe
/
and
by
puissaunce
dyde
sette
in
to
Castyle
agayne
Dompeter
.
And
than
at
the
batayle
of
Marres
sir
Bertram
was
taken
prisonner
by
sir
Iohan
Chandos
/
and
was
sette
to
raunsome
at
a
hundred
thousande
frankes
.
And
at
another
tyme
he
was
also
taken
at
the
batayle
of
Alroy
/
and
raunsomed
agayne
/
at
a
hundred
thousande
Frankes
.
So
thus
sir
Bertrams
purpose
was
brokenne
/
for
the
warres
bytwene
Englande
and
Fraunce
was
renewed
/
So
that
they
hadde
ynoughe
to
do
.
Thus
he
was
lynially
discended
fro
the
kynge
of
Bougy
named
Aquyne
/
whose
kyngdome
is
in
Barbarye
.
Thus
I
haue
shewed
you
the
ryght
discente
of
sir
Bertram
of
Clesquyn
/
I
thanked
hym
/
and
so
we
came
to
the
towne
of
Prinulley
.

At

they
were

So
the
nexte

they

so
wasshed

went

Firste

These

thought
surely

Than

Sirr

Wherfore
I

nothynge
to

/
wherof
I
shulde
repente
me
/
sauynge
of
one
thynge

and
that
is
/
That
he
hadde
so
good
a
markette
/
as
to
escape
a
lyue
.
And
in
that
I
saued
his
lyfe
/
was
for
the
loue
of
his
offyce
/
and
nat
for
his
persone
/
For
he
hath
done
me
soo
many
displeasures
/
that
I
ought
to
hate
hym
deedly
.
And
sauynge
the
displeasure
of
the
kyng
and
of
his
vncles
/
and
his
counsayle
.
For
all
the
takynge
of
sir
Olyuer
/
I
haue
nat
therby
broken
their
voyage
by
the
see
.
I
wyll
well
excuse
my selfe
therin
/
for
I
thought
non
yuell
the
daye
that
I
toke
hym
/
a
man
ought
to
take
his
ennemy
whersoeuer
he
fynde
hym
And
if
he
were
deed
/
I
wolde
thynke
the
Realme
of
Fraunce
to
be
as
well
ruled
or
better
/
than
it
is
by
his
counsayle
.
And
as
for
his
castelles
that
I
holde
/
the
whiche
he
hath
delyuered
me
/
I
am
in
possessyon
of
them
/
and
so
wyll
be
/
withoute
the
puyssaunce
of
a
kynge
take
them
fro
me
.
And
as
for
rendringe
of
his
money
/
I
aunswere
/
I
haue
had
so
moche
to
do
in
tyme
paste
/
by
the
meanes
of
this
sir
Olyuer
of
Clysquyn
/
that
I
ranne
in
dette
gretlye
therby
:
and
nowe
I
haue
payde
them
that
I
was
bounde
vnto
/
by
reason
of
this
dette
.
This
was
the
answere
that
the
duke
of
Bretaygne
made
to
the
kynges
ambassadours
/
Than
they
layde
forthe
other
reasons
/
to
enduce
the
duke
to
some
reasonable
waye
/
but
all
his
answeres
tourned
euer
to
one
conclusyon
.
And
whan
they
sawe
none
other
waye
/
they
toke
their
leaues
to
departe
/
and
the
duke
gaue
them
leaue
.
Thanne
they
retourned
and
dyd
so
moch
by
their
iourneys
that
they
came

to
the
house
of

besyde
Wynsentes

There
was
the

Bourgoyne
/
hauyng

THe

but
the
kyng

the

Bretaygne
/
that
his
ambassadours
hadde
made
no
better
exployte
:
and
they
sayde
/
howe
the

was
/
to
make
warre
agaynste
the
duke
of
Bretayne
/
and
the

For
he
sawe
and
knewe
well
/
howe
he
had
greatly
displeased
the
kyng
and
his
counsell
/
but
he
hated
so
mortally
the
constable
/
that
it
toke
fro
hym
the
good

of
reason

for
he
repented
hym
sore
/
that
he
had
nat
putte
hym
to
dethe
/
whan
he
hadde
hym
in

Thus

therby

THus

Thus
syr
Symon
Burle
was
in

in
the
towre
of
London
.
THan
the
constable
spake
of
ser
Willyam
Helmon
and
of

Thomas
Tryuet
/
for
they
were
nat
greatly
in
the
fauour
of
some

of
Englande
/
nor
of
the
commontie
of
the
realme
/
for
the
vyage
that
they
made
in

/
For
it
was
sayd
/
that
neuer
Englysshmen
made
so
shamefull
a

.
The
bysshoppe
of

/
howe
they
hadde
taken

for
the

vp
of

and
Grauelyng
/
Some
sayd
/
that
that
dede
was
trayson
.
they
were
sent
for
and
sir
Wylliam
Helmon
came
/
but
sir
Thomas
Tryuer
was
excused
I
shall
shewe
you
howe
.
¶
The
same
weke
that
he
was
sente
for
/
beyng
in
his
owne
house
in
the
Northe
parte
/
he
rode
out
into
the
feldes
vpon
a
yonge
horse
that
he
hadde
and
spurred
hym
so
that
the
horse
ranne
awaye
with
hym
/
ouer
busshes
and
hedges
/
and
at
laste
fell
in
a
dyke
and
brake
his
necke
/
and
so
sir
Thomas
Triuet
dyed
whiche
was
great
dommage
/
and
his
dethe
was
greatlye
complayned
with
many
good
menne
of
the
realme
.
yet
for
all
that
his
heyres
were
fayne
to
paye
a
certayne
somme
of
Floreyns
to
the
Counsayle
to
the
kynges
behoue
/
as
they
sayde
.
But
the
chiefe
encytyng
of
those
maters
came
by
the
kynges
vncles
/
and
by
the
generall
counsayle
of
the
countrey
/
as
it
appered
after
in
Englande
.
For
of
trouthe
/
thoughe
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
was
the
yongest
brother
in
age
/
yet
he
was
moost
auncyent
in
the
busynesse
of
the
realme
/
for
he
drewe
to
that
opinyon
that
moost
of
the
noble
menne
/
and
prelates
and
the
commons
helde
.
Whan
that
sir
Them̄s
Tryuettes
composicion
was
made
after
his
dethe
/
by
the
maner
as
ye
haue
herde
here
before
/
therby
the
penaunce
of
sir
Wylliam
Helmon
was
greatly
asswaged
.
He
entred
with
the
counsayle
/
and
by
the
meanes
of
the
valyantnesse
of
his
body
/
and
the
good
seruyce
that
he
had
done
dyuers
tymes
for
Englande
/
as
well
in
Bourdeloyes
as
in
Guyen
and
in
Picardye
/
where
he
was
alwayes
proued
a
good
knight
.
There
was
nothynge
layde
to
his
reproche
/
but
takynge
of
the
money
/
for
the
delyueraunce
of
Burborcke
and
Grauelynge
.
Than
he
excused
hymselfe
with
fayre
and
swete
wordes
/
and
made
dyuers
reasonable
reasons
/
&
sayd
.
My
lordes
/
who
so
euer
were
in
lyke
case
as
we
were
in
that
tyme
in
the
garyson
of
Bourburke
/
I
thynke
wolde
do
as
we
dyd
.
I
haue
herde
sir
Iohn
Chandos
and
sir
Gaultier
of
Manny
say
dyuers
tymes
/
who
were
right
wyse
and
of
gret
valure
.
Howe
that
a
man
ought
of
two
or
iii.
wayes
chose
the
best
waye
/
and
wherby
most
to
endomage
his
enemyes
.
And
thus
sir
Thomas
Tryuet
and
I
/
beyng
in
the
garysons
of
Bourburke
and
Grauelyng
/
and
sawe
howe
we
were
enclosed
on
all
parties
/
and
no
conforte
aperyng
to
vs
from
any
parte
.
And
parceyued
well
/
howe
we
coulde
nat
endure
many
assautes
/
for
they
that
laye
about
vs
/
were
as
chosen
men
of
armes
/
as
euer
I
sawe
/
or
I
trowe
any
other
Englysshemenne
.
For
as
I
knewe
iustely
by
the
reporte
of
our
harraude
/
they
were
at
leest
/
a
syxtene
thousande
men
of
armes
/
knyghtes
and
squyers
/
and
a
.xl.
thousande
of
other
.
And
we
were
nat
paste
a
thre
hundred
speares
and
as
many
archers
.
And
also
our
garysone
was
of
suche
cyrcuyte
/
that
we
coude
nat
entende
on
euery
place
.
And
that
we
well
perceyued
by
an
assaut
that
was
made
vs
on
a
daye
/
For
whyle
we
were
at
oure
defence
on
the
one
parte
/
they
caste
in
fyre
on
the
other
parte
/
wherby
we
were
gretly
abasshed
and
that
our
ennemyes
right
well
parceyued
.
And
therfore
to
saye
the
trouthe
/
the
Frenche
kyng
and
his
counsaile
wrought
by
great
gentylnesse
/
seyng
the
case
that
we
were
in
/
to
gyue
vs
trewse
.
For
if
they
had
gyuen
vs
another
assaute
the
nexte
daye
/
as
they
were
ordayned
to
do
/
I
thynke
they
hadde
taken
vs
at
their
pleasure
.
yet
for
all
this
/
they
courtesly
treated
with
vs
/
by
the
meanes
of
the
duke
of
Bretayne
/
who
tooke
great
payne
in
that
mater
.
And
where
as
we
shulde
haue
gyuen

money
for
our
raunsommes
/
if
we
hadde
ben
taken

For

THese

For

ye

Than
the
kynge
spake
to
sir
Nicholas
Bramble
and
requyred
hym
to
speke
.
And
at
the
kynges
request
sir
Nycholas
sayd
.
Sir
/
and
it
lyke
your
grace
/
and
all
my
lordis
here
present
/
I
shall
speke
gladly
/
after
the
lytell
knowledge
that
I
haue
.
Fyrst
I
saye
I
can
nat
beleue
but
that
the
moost
parte
of
the
londoners
oweth
loue
and
fauour
to
the
kyng
that
here
is
/
for
perfitely
they
loued
the
prince
his
father
/
and
that
they
well
shewed
/
whan
the
villayns
rebelled
/
for
accordyng
to
the
trouthe
if
they
hadde
taken
parte
with
the
villayns
/
they
had
distroyed
the
kyng
and
the
realme
.
And
moreouer
/
the
kynges
vncles
haue
as
nowe
a
good
tyme
/
for
they
disport
them selfe
among
them
/
and
enforme
the
people
as
they
lyfte
/
for
there
is
none
to
saye
agaynst
them
.
They
haue
put
me
out
and
all
the
kynges
of
fycers
/
and
haue
put
in
them
of
their
affynite
and
haue
sente
the
kynge
hyder
to
one
of
the
borders
of
his
realme
.
There
can
no
good
be
ymagined
of
this
/
nor
it
can
nat
be
knowen
per●●rely
what
they
entende
/
it
is
a
herde
mater
.
but
by
that
they
shewe
they
wolde
putte
the
kyng
out
of
his
realme
/
for
they
go
all
by
puyssaunce
/
and
the
kynge
dothe
all
by
gentylnesse
.
They
haue
put
to
dethe
that
gentyll
knyght
sir
Symon
Burle
/
who
hath
doone
the
kyng
moche
fayre
seruyce
/
in
the
realme
of
Englade
and
in
other
places
.
They
layde
great
falsenesse
in
hym
/
that
he
shulde
haue
delyuered
the
castell
of
Douer
to
the
frenche
men
.
And
they
enformed
the
people
/
that
he
caused
the
frenchmen
to
come
in
to
Flaunders
and
to
Sluse
/
whiche
was
nothyng
so
.
And
also
in
the
dispyte
of
the
kyng
/
they
haue
shamfully
slayne
sir
Robert
Triuylien
/
&
so
they
wyll
do
other
/
if
they
maye
atteygne
to
their
ententes
.
Wherfore
I
saye
/
that
it
were
better
for
the
kyng
to
vse
rygour
and
puyssaunce
than
gentylnesse
.
Euery
man
knoweth
thorough
the
realme
that
he
is
kyng
/
and
howe
that
at
Westmynster
the
noble
kyng
Edwarde
made
euery
man
to
be
sworne
/
bothe
lordes
/
prelates
/
and
all
the
good
Townes
/
that
after
his
dyscease
/
they
shulde
take
the
kynge
here
for
their
soueraygne
lorde
:
and
the
same
othe
made
his
thre
vncles
.
And
it
semeth
to
many
as
men
dare
speke
/
that
they
holde
him
nat
in
the
state
and
fourme
of
a
kynge
/
for
he
may
nat
do
with
his
owne
what
he
lyst
.
they
driue
hym
to
his
pensyon
/
and
the
quene
also
whiche
is
a
herde
thyng
for
a
kyng
&
a
quene
It
shulde
seme
they
wolde
shewe
that
they
had
no
wytte
to
rule
themselfe
/
and
that
their
counsaylours
be
traytours
.
I
saye
these
thynges
are
nat
to
be
suffred
:
As
for
me
I
hadde
rather
dye
/
than
longe
to
lyue
in
this
daunger
or
peryll
/
or
to
se
the
kynge
to
be
ledde
as
his
vncles
wolde
haue
hym
.
The
kynge
thanne
sayd
.
Surely
it
pleaseth
nat
vs
.
and
I
saye
/
ye
haue
counsayled
me
as
honourably
as
maye
be
/
for
the
honour
of
vs
and
our
Realme
.
AT
this
counsayle
at
Bristo
we
it
was
ordayned
/
that
the
duke
of
Irelande
shulde
be
soueraygne

C.
HOwe
shall
I

/
what
became
of
the
duke
of
Irelande
and
of
sir
Peter
Golofer
and
sir
Michaell
de
la
Pole
.
As
I
shewed
before
they
saued
themselve
/
as
it
was
nedefull
for
them
/
for
if
they
hadde

/
they

.
I
can
nat
saye
if
they
went

or
nat
/
if
they
dyde
they
taried
nat
long
/
but
departed
the
realme
of
Englande
assone
as

coude
.
&
as

Wales
/
&

costyng
Friselande
and

of
Theseley
and
the
countre
of
Hollande
/
and
so
came
and
arryued
at
the
towne
of
Dondrest
.
Than
were
they
gladde
and
as
I
was

the

had
long
before
conueyed
by
lombardes
/
moche
golde
&
syluer
to
Brugis
for
feare
of
all
casueltes

for
though

great
with
the
kyng
/
yet
always
he
douted
the
kynges
vncles
/
&
the
commons
of
the
realme
.
Wherfore
he
made
prouisyon
before
hande
of
money
/
to
ayde
hym
whan
nede
were
/
and
as
it
was
shewed

thousande
frankes
that

for
the
redempcyon
of
the
chyldren
of
Bretayne
/
and
specially
for
Iohn
of
Bretayne
for
Guy
was
deed
.
Whiche
money
(
as
it
was
sayde
)
he
founde
redy
there
at
his
commynge
/
and
he
shulde
receyue
more
:
In
thre
yere
other
threscore
thousande
frankes
.
Wherfore
he
was
nat
abasshed
for
he
had
substaunce
suffycient
for
a
longe
space
.
And
whan
duke
Aubert
of
Bauyer
/
who
had
Haynalte
/
Holande

/
vnder

of

the
towne
of
Dordrest
.
He
studyed
and
imagyned
a
lytell
/
and
thought
he
shulde
nat
longe
abyde
there
/
seynge
that
he
was
fledde
out
of
Englande
/
and
had
the
yuell
wyll
of
his
cosyn
germayns
/
to
whome
he
bare
his
loue
and
fauour
.
And
also
he
consydred
/
howe
the
duke
of
Irelande
had
dalte
but
yuell
with
his
cosyn
germayen
/
the
lady
Isabell
of
Englande
/
who
had
been
lady
of
Coucy
.
Wherfore
he
commaunded
the
duke
of
Irelande
/
bycause
he
hadde
displeased
his
cosyns
of
Englande
and
had
broken
his
laufull
mariage
/
and
wolde
mary
another
wyfe
/
That
he
shulde
departe
out
of
that
countrey
/
and
gette

another
lodgynge
/
And
that
he
shulde
nat
be
suffred
to
abyde
in
no
towne
of
that
countrey
.
Whan
the
duke
herde
that
/
he
douted
that
he
shulde
be
taken
/
and
delyuered
in
to
the
handes
of
his
enemyes
.
And
he
humyled
hym selfe
greatly
to
them
that
were
sente
to
hym
/
and
sayde
he
wolde
gladly
obey
the
duke
Aubertes
commaundement
.
And
so
payed
and
trussed
/
and
entred
in
to
a
vessell
and
all
his
/
on
the
ryuer
of
Mornegue
.
And
dyd
so
moche
by
water
and
by
lande
/
that
he
came
to
Berette
/
whiche
towne
pertayned
to
the
bysshoppe
of
Trece
.
There
he
was
well
receyued
/
And
there
he
taryed
tyll
he
harde
other
tydinges
.
Nowe
let
vs
leaue
spekyng
of

AFter

vncles
had
agaynste

The

of
Caunterbury
and
the

taryed
styll

Oxenforde
/
I
can
nat
tell
howe
long
.
And
there
was
beheededde

lytell
Beauchampe
and

After

there
taryed

Thanne

/
howe
they
wolde
make
no
stoore
of
hym
/
but
he
shulde
go
the
same
waye
as
the
other
hadde
done
before
.
he
coude
neuer
excuse
hymselfe
but
that
he
must
dye
.
He
was
beheeded
without
London
/
his
dethe
was
sore
complayned
of
some
men
of
London
/
for
he
hadde
been
mayre
of
London
before
/
and
had
well
gouerned
his
offyce
/
and
dyde
one
day
great
honour
to
the
kyng
/
whan
he
slewe
with
his
owne
handes
Lyster
/
wherby
all
the
rebelles
were
disconfyted
/
and
for
that
good
seruyce
the
kynge
made
hym
knyght
.
But
in
the
maner
(
as
I
haue
shewed
you
)
he
was
beheeded
/
by
reason
of
the
ouermoche
beleuynge
of
the
duke
of
Irelande
.
AFter
the
dethe
of
sir
Nicholas
Bramble
/
the
kynges
vncles
sawe
/
that
all
suche
as
they
hated
/
and
wolde
haue
oute
of
the
kynges
counsayle
were
deed
and
fledde
a
waye
.
Than
they
thought
the
kynge
and
the
realme
shulde
be
brought
in
to
good
order
/
for
thoughe
they
had
slayne
some
of
the
kynges
counsayle
/
and
chased
theym
awaye
/
yet
they
coude
nat
take
awaye
the
signorie
of
the
kyng
/
but
thought
to
rule
the
realme
in
good
forme
/
to
the
honour
of
the
kynge
and
his
realme
.
Than
they
sayd
to
the
bysshop
of
Caunterbury
.
Sir

to
Bristowe
to

He

/
and
for
the

of
his

.
And
saye
also
to
hym
/
that
we

of
London
/
that

&
we

And
we

thoughe
we

of

that
were
about
hym

for
by

his

was
in
great
paryll
of
lesynge
.
The
bysshop
sayd
he
shulde
do
ryght
well

and
so
departed
and
rodde
forthe
lyke
a

/
and
so
came
to

and
the
kynge

For

The

He

of
the

of
Irelande
whome
he
loued
aboue

and
for

Finally
he
was
so
entysed

that
he
consented
that

Whan

And

IT
is
reason
sythe
the
mater
so
requyreth
/
that
I
retourne
agayne
to
the
duke
of
Lancastres
iourney
/
and
howe
he
ꝑceyuered
al
this
season
in
Galyce
/
I
shall
begyn
there
as
I
lefte
/
for
I
haue
great
desyre
to
make
an
ende
of
that
storie
.
Whan
the
duke
of
Lancastre
had
won
and
conquered
the
towne
and
castell
of
Dauranche
in
Galyce
/
and
brought
it
vnder
his
obeysaunce
/
and
refresshed
hym
there
foure
dayes
/
for
there
he
founde
well
wherwith
.
Than
the
fyfthe
day
he
departed
/
and
sayde
he
wolde
go
to
the
castell
of
Noy
/
and
so
he
dyde
/
and
lay
four
dayes
in
a
fayre
medowe
alonge
a
ryuer
syde
.
But
the
grounde
was
dried
vp
by
reason
of
the
heate
of
the
sonne
/
and
the
water
corrupted
/
so
that
their
horses
wolde
nat
drinke
therof
/
and
suche
as
dyde
/
dyed
.
Thanne
it
was
ordayned
to
dislodge
thens
/
and
to
tourne
agayne
to
Auranch
/
for
sir
Richarde
Burle
and
sir
Thomas
Morryaulx
marshalles
of
the
hoost
/
sayd
it
was
nat
possyble
to
get
the
strong
rastell
of
Noy
but
by
longe
siege
/
by
great
wysedome
and
dispence
/
and
moche
artillary
.
And
also
tydinges
came
to
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
that
the
kynge
of
Portugale
approched
with
all
his
hoost
/
to
the
nombre
of
a
thousande
speares
/
and
tenne
thousande
able
men
.
So
that
the
two
hoostes
togyder
were
lykely
to
do
a
great
dede
/
for
the
duke
of
Lancastre
hadde
a
fyftene
hundred
speares
knightes
and
squiers
/
and
a
sixe
thousande
archers
.
These
tydinges
reioysed
greatly
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
and
so
dislodged
fro
Noy
and
wente
agayne
to
Auranche
in
Galyce
/
and
the
duke
sente
for
the
duchesse
his
wyfe
/
and
the
other
ladyes
and
damoselles
:
for
the
duke
sayd
he
wolde
abyde
there
for
the
kynge
of
Portugale
/
and
so
he
dyde
.
yE
shall
knowe
/
that
whan
kyng
Iohan
of
Portugale
and
his
marshalles
had
take
the
towne
of
Feroullꝭ
they
rode
and
aproched
Auranch
to
come
to
the
duke
of
Lancastre
.
And
in
their
way
they
founde
the
towne
of
Padrone
/
whiche
rebelled
against
them
/
but
at
their
first
comyng
they
yelded
them
to
the
kynges
obeysaunce
.
The
kynge
taryed
there
and
in
the
marches
there
about
a
fyftene
dayes
/
and
wasted
greatlye
the
countrey
of
vitayls
/
&
yet
they
had
great
plentie
comyng
dayly
fro
Portugale
.
Thus
these
two
great
hoostes
were
in
Galyce
/
and
greatly
impouerysshed
the
countre
/
and
the
dayes
waxed
so
hote
/
that
no
man
coude
styrre
after
nyne
of
the
clocke
/
without
he
wolde
be
brent
with
the
sonne
.
The
duke
of
Lancastre
and
the
duchesse
were
at
Aurache
/
and
their
men
abrode
in
the
countrey
in
great
pouerie
for
lacke

them selfe
and
for
their
horses

Nothynge
that
was
good
or
swete
coulde
growe
out
of
the
grounde
/
it
was
so
drie
/
and
brent
with
the
sonne
/
and
that
grewe
was
lytell
worthe
/
for
the
season
was
so
hote
that
all
was
brent
.
And
the
Englysshe
men
/
if
they
wolde
haue
any
thynge
for
them selfs
or
▪
for
their
horses
/
it
behoued
them
or
their
seruauntes
to
go
a
forragyng
/
a
.xii.
sixtene
/
or
twentie
myles
of
/
which
was
great
payne
and
daunger
.
And
the
Englysshmen
founde
the
wynes
there
so
stronge
/
hoote
/
and
brynning
that
it
corrupted
their
heedes
and
dried
their
bowelles

and
brente
their
lightes
and
lyuers
/
&
they
had
no
remedy
/
for
they
coude
fynde
but
lytell
good
waters
to
temper
their
wynes
nor
to
refresshe
them
/
whiche
was
contrary
to
their
natures
.
For
Englysshe
men
in
their
owne
countreis
are
swetely
norisshed
and
there
they
were
brent
both
within
&
with
out
/
they
endured
great
pouertie
.
The
great
lordes
wanted
of
that
they
were
accustomed
vnto
in
their
owne
countreis
.
wHan
the
knyghtes
and
squyers
and
other
of
Englande
/
sawe
the
daunger
and
myschefe
that
they
were
in
/
and
were
likely
to
be
/
what
for
lacke
of
vytayle
and
heate
of
the
sonne
/
whiche
dayly
encreased
.
Than
they
began
to
murmure
and
to
saye
in
the
host
in
dyuers
places
.
We
feare
our
iourney
wyll
come
to
a
smal
effect
&
ende
We
lye
to
long
in
one
place
.
that
is
true
sayd
other
.
There
is
two
thynges
greatly
contrarye
for
vs
.
We
leade
in
our
company
women
and
wyues
who
desyreth
nothyng
but
rest
/
&
for
one
dayes
iourney
by
their
wylles
/
they
wolde
reste
fyftene
.
This
distroyeth
vs
and
wyll
do
/
for
as
soone
as
we
came
to
Coulongne
/
if
we
had
gone
forwarde
we
had
spedde
well
/
and
brought
the
countre
to
good
obeysaunce
/
for
none
wolde
haue
ben
agaynst
vs
.
But
the
longe
taryeng
hath
enforced
our
ennemyes
/
for
nowe
they
haue
prouyded
them
of
men
of
warre
out
of
Fraunce
/
And
by
them
their
townes
/
cyties
/
and
passages
be
kepte
and
closed
agaynst
vs
.
Thus
they
disconfyted
vs
withoute
batayle
:
They
nede
nat
to
fyght
with
vs
/
for
the
realme
of
Spayne
is
nat
so
pleasaunt
a
lande
to
traueyle
in
/
as
is
Fraunce
or
Englande
/
wherin
are
good
villages
/
fayre
countreis
and
swete
ryuers
/
faire
medowes
and
attemperate
ayre
for
menne
of
warre
/
and
here
is
all
the
contrarye
.
What
ment
oure
lorde
the
duke
of
Lancastre
(
if
he
thought
to
wynne
this
countrey
)
to
leade
in
his
company
women
and
chyldren
?
This
is
a
great
let
and
without
reason
/
for
it
is
knowen
in
all
Spaygne
/
and
els
where
/
that
he
and
his
bretherne
are
the
true
enherytours
of
the
countrey
/
at
leest
their
wyfes
doughters
to
kyng
Don
Peter
.
As
for
doyng
of
any
conquest
or
tournyng
of
any
townes
/
the
women
do
lytell
therin
.
THus
as
I
haue
shewed
you
the
people
langled
in
the
duke
of
Lancasters
hoost
/
one
to
another
.
Than
tidynges
came
to
the
duke
that
the
kyng
of
Portugale
aproched
nere
wherof
he
was
ioyfull
.
And
whan
the
kynge
was
within
two
leages
/
the
duke
with
his
knyghtes
mounted
on
their
horses
and
rode
to
mete
hym
/
and
there
they
mette
amiably
and
all
their
companyes
.
The
kynges
hole
hoost
was
nat
there
but
taryed
behynde
/
in
the
guydyng
of
sixe
great
lordes
of
Portugale
/
as
Ponnase
of
Congne
/
Vase
Martyn
de
merlo
/
Posdiche
de

Salnase
de

/
sir
Anlne
Perrier
marshall
/
and
Iohan
Radighes
Desar
/
and
dyuers
other
/
and
the
kyng
had
with
him
a
thre
hundred
speares
.
So
at
Auranche
the
kynge
and
the
duke
were
togyder
.
a
fyue
dayes
and
toke
counsayle
toguyder
.
The
fynall
conclusyon
was
/
that
they
shulde
ryde
togyder
and
enter
in
to
the
countrey
of
Campe
and
to
go
to
the
towne
of
Arpent
/
where
sir
Olyuer
of
Clesquyne
constable
of
Spaygne
was
/
but
they
wyst
nat
how
to
passe
the
ryuer
of
Derne
whiche
was
fell
and
orgulous
at
certayne
tymes
/
&
specially
rather
in
somer
than
in
wynter
/
for
whan
the
snowe
and
froste
melteth
on
the
mountayns
by
reason
of
the
sonne
/
than
is
the
ryuer
moost
depest
&
most
dangerous
to
passe
/
for
in
wynter
it
is
frosyn
/
&
than
the
ryuers
are
but
base
and
lowe
.
yet
for
all
that
they
concluded
to
ryde
in
to
the
countre
of
Campe
/
trustyng
at
some
place
to
fynde
some
passage
This
conclusyon
was
publysshed
throughe
all
their
hoostes
/
wherof
euery
man
was
ioyfull
/
for
they
had
lyen
along
space
sore
oppressed
and
in
great
daunger
at
Auranche
&
ther
about
/
and
many
were
sore
diseased
.
Thus
the
kyng
of
Portugale
and
that
duke
of
Lancastre
departed
fro
Auranche
and
rode
toguyder
/
but
their
hostes
were
seperated
in
to
two
partes
/
bycause
none
of
them
vnderstode
other
/
nor
had
no
maner
of
aqueyntance
toguyder
:
And
also
to
eschewe
riottes
or
debates
that
myght
haue
fallen
bytwene
them
/
for
portugales
are
hote
&
hastye
/
and
in
lykewise
Englysshmen
be
dispytefull
and
fierse
.
Thus
they
were
apoynted
by
the
man
hals
of
bothe
hostes
to
lodge
and
to
forrage
in
diuers
partes
/
and
nat
toguyder
.
Thus
they
rode
forthe
and
were
of
chat
.
puyssaunce
able
to
fyght
for
a
iourney
with
kynge
Iohan
of
Castell
/
and
all
his
adhenrentes
.
So
longe
they
iourneyed
that
they
came
to
they
ryuer
of
Derne
/
whiche
was
nat
easy
to
passe
/
for
it
was
depe
and
with
highe
bankes
/
and
full
of
great
broken
stones
/
so
that
but
at
certayne
bridges
whiche
were
broken
/
or
elles
so
well
kepte
/
that
it
was
in
maner
impossyble
to
passe
they
might
nat
gette
ouer
.
So
these
two
hostes
had
great
ymaginacions
how
they
might
passe
.
Than
so
it
fell
that
sir
Iohn
Holande
who
was
constable
of
the
Englysshe
hoost
/
and
the
marshalles
/
sir
Richarde
Butle
and
sir
Thomas
Moreaulx
/
and
their
forragers
as
they
rode
before
/
they
encountred
a
squier
of
Castell
/
called
Donnage
Bangher
.
He
knewe
well
all
the
passages
of
the
countrey
/
and
he
knewe
where
there
was
one
passage
/
that
bothe
horsmen
and
fote
men
might
easelye
passe
the
riuer
/
&
he
came
ouer
at
the
same
passage
/
and
was
taken
and
brought
to
the
sayd
lordes
/
of
whom
they
were
ryght
glad
.
And
there
he
was
so
streitly
examyned
/
&
also
by
the
wordes
of
the
constable
/
who
sayde
to
hym
/
howe
he
wolde
quyte
his
raunsome
and
gyue
hym
a
good
rewarde
if
he
wolde
shewe
them
where
they
myght
passe
surely
the
ryuer
/
for
they
sayde
they
had
herde
howe
there
was
one
sure
passage
ouer
the
ryuer
.
The
squyer
who
toke
but
lyght
aduysement
/
and
was
couetous
of
the
constables
offre
/
&
was
gladde
to
be
delyuered
out
of
their
handes
/
sayd
.
Sirs
/
I
knowe
well
the
passage
/
and
I
shall
shewe
it
you
and
shal
be
your
guyde
where
as
ye
and
all
youre
menne
maye
passe
without
any
daunger
.
Of
this
the
constable
and
marshalles
had
great
ioye
&
so
rode
forthe
toguyder
/
and
sent
worde
of
this
tydinges
to
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
and
so
folowed
the
vowarde
/
and
the
constables
and
marshalles
came
to
the
passage
.
Than
the
spanysshe
squyer
entred
firste
in
to
the
ryuer
/
&
shewed
them
the
way
.
And
whan
they
sawe
the
passage
so
pleasaunt
they
were
ryght
ioyfull
/
and
so
euery
man
passed
ouer
.
And
whan
the
vowarde
was
ouer
/
they
lodged
there
to
gyue
knowledge
to
all
other
that
folowed
after
.
Than
the
constable
kepte
his
promyse
with
the
squyer
that
was
their
gyde
.
And
so
he
departed
fro
them
and
rode
to
Medena
del
campo
/
where
the
kynge
of
Castyle
lay
/
a
good
towne
in
the
countrey
of
Campe
.
Than
the
kynge
of
Portugale
and
the
duke
of
Lancastre
came
to
the
passage
/
which
was
called
Plasce
ferarde
/
bycause
the
grauell
and
sande
there
was
firme
and
stable
/
and
without
parell
.
There
they
and
their
hoostes
passed
ouer
/
and
the
next
day
the
rerewarde
/
and
than
they
all
lay
in
the
countrey
of
Campe
.
Tydinges
came

ryuer
of
Derne
/
and
had
founde
the
passed
/
wherof
euery
man
had
maruayle
and
sayd
.
This
can
nat
be
done
without
trayson

for
they
shulde
neuer
haue
founde
out
the

but
if
some

shewed
it
to
them

The
kynge
of

Thervpon

WHan
the

knewe
howe
the
kyng
of
Portugale
and
the

Lancastre
were
in

I

Our

Wherfore
sirs
/
I
requyre
you

counsayle
what
is
best
to
do
.
These
two
knyghtes
who
knewe
more
of
dedes
of
armes
than
the
kyng
dyd
/
for
they
had
more
vsed
it
/
and
therfore
thyder
they
were
sente
oute
of
Fraunce
/
they
sayde
:
Syr
/
surely
the

of
Borbon
cometh
without

And
whan

we
shall
take
counsayle
what

but
tyll

let

Let
our

go

come
whyder
as
they
lyst
/
lette
them
kepe
the

and
we
shall
kepe
the

that
be

well
prouyded
bothe
with

and
vytayles
.
They
shall
be

sonne
and
in
great
heate
/
and
we
shall
be
in
the
shadowe
&
in
the
fresshe
ayre
.
They
shall
fynde
the

wasted
and
pylled
/
and
the
more
forewarde
that
they
go
/
the
lesse
sustynaunce
shall
they
fynde
.
And
therfore
syr
/
at
the
begynnynge
to
eschewe
all
inconuenyentes
/
all
lytell
hooldes
were
beaten
downe
/
and
maners
&
churches
suche
as
men
of
the
countrey
wold
haue
put
in
their
goodes
/
and
this
was
wysely
done
.
or
els
nowe
your
enemyes
shuld
haue
founde
places
to
haue
rested
in
/
and
as
nowe
they
shall
fynde
nothyng

they
brynge
it
with
theym
/
but
heate
and
the
sonne
on
their

/
the
whiche
shall
burne
and
slee
them
.
And
sir
all
your
townes
/
cyties
/
and
castelles
are
well
garnysshed
and
prouyded
for
with
good
men
of
armes
/
artyllery
/
and
vytayles
.
I
thynke
they
shal
be
skrymysshed
withall
/
for
that
is
the
lyfe
and
norysshynge
of
men
of
warre
and
their
passe
tyme
/
for
they
ryde
aboute
all
the
worlde
to

aduentures
.
Therfore
sir
be
nothynge
abasshed
for
we
truste
in
this
besynes
/
we
shall
haue
no
great
domage
.
The
kynge
by
reason
of
these
knyghtes
wordes
was
greatly
recomforted
/
for
he
perceyued
well
they
shewed
him
the
trouth
and
reason
.
NOwe
let
vs
speke
of
the
duke
of
Lancastre
&
of
the
kyng
of
Portugale
/
who
were
in
the
feldes
in
the
countrey
of
Campe
.
They
wolde
gladly
haue
bene
in
some
towne
to
haue
refresshed
theym
/
For
their
foragers
whe●
so
euer
they
went
/
coude
fynde
no
thing
and
for
feare
of
encountrynges
/
they
rode
nat
but
in
great
companyes
.
And
somtyme
whan
they
sawe
a
village
on
a
hyll
/
or
on
the
playne
/
than
they
reioysed
and
wolde
say
.
Go
we
thyder
/
for
there
we
shal
be
all
ryche
/
and
well
prouyded
/
And
thyder
they
wolde
ryde
in
great
haste
.
And
whan
they
were
there
/
they
founde
no
thynge
but
bare
walles

&
the
howses
broken
downe

and
nother
catte
nor

cocke
nor

/
man
/
woman
/
nor
childe
there
/
it
was
wasted
before
by
the
frenchemen
.
Thus
they
loste
their
tyme
/
and
their
horses
were
leane
and
feble
/
by
reason
of
their
poore
norisshyng
.
They
were
happy
whan
they
founde
any
pasture
/
and
some
were
so
feble
that
they
coulde
go
no
further
/
but
dyed
for
great
heate
and
pouertie
.
ye
and
also
some
of
the
great
men
dyed
and
were
sore
dyspleased
with
hoote
feuers
/
&
had
nat
wherwith
to
refresshe
them
/
and
some
tyme
by
sodeyn
coldee
that
toke

The

rose
in

brute
that
the
englysshe
men
were
come
to
the
barryers
.
Thanne
knyghtes

armed
them
quickely

and
came
to

constables
lodginge

and
their
varlettes
sadled
their

wolde
nat
by

haue
suffered

issued
out
agaynste
the
englysshmen
/
but
he
coulde
nat
let
them
/
their
corages
were
so
fierse
:
And
so
they
issued
out
well
horsed

in
good
ordre
.

issued

And
whan
the
englysshmen
had
made
their
course
before
the

than
they
passed
agayne
the
ryuer
/
where
as
they
had
paste

to gyther
on

sandes
/
and
fayre

easely
with

Than
the
frenche

came
cryeng

euery

And
whan
the
Englysshmen
sawe

sodeynly
they

There
was
a

And
whan
that
course
was

they
lefte
nat

skrymysshed

but
the

that
one

Thus
they
departed

it

Than
some
other
that
were
of

wysdome

imaginacyon
said
.
All
thinges
consydred

we
thinke
it
best

THis

This
haraulde
rode
forthe

came
to
Medena

there
he
founde
the
kynge
of

than
he
kneled
downe

delyuered
his

And
the
kynge
opened
them

redde
them

they
were
written

Whan
he

Go

Than

Of

this

that

He

lept
on

that
by

And
truely
the

of
Castyle
was
gladde
tose
the

of
the
Englysshmen
/
for
than
it
semed
to
hym
that
his

was

and
thought

there
wolde
neuer

so
many
good
men
of

/
in
the
duke
of
Lancasters
tytell
/
to
make
warre
in
Castyle
.
Also
he
knewe
well
howe
there
was
great
trouble
and
dyscorde
within
the
realme
of
Englande
.
Whan
the
tidynges
sprede
abrode
in
Castile

in
the
good
cyties
and
townes
(
where
as
the
Englysshe
men
lay
sicke

were
there
to

)
howe
that
sir
Iohan
Hollande
was
●ome
thyder
to
retourne
agayne
in

.
They
were
ryght
gladde
therof
/
and
so
drewe
to
hym
/
to
the
entent
to
retourne
with
hym
/
As
the
lorde
of
Chameulx
/
sir
Thomas
Percy
/
the
lorde
Lelynton
/
the
lorde
of
Braseton
/
and
dyuers
other
/
to
the
nombre
of
a
thousande
horses
.
suche
as
were
sicke
thought
them selfe
halfe
hole
/
whan
they
knewe
they
shulde
retourne
/
their
voyage
paste
was
so
paynfull
to
them
.
WHan
sir
Iohan
Hollande
toke
leaue
of
the
kyng
of
Castyle
/
the
kyng
gaue
to
hym
and
to
his
company
great
giftes
/
with
mules
and
mulettes
of
Spaygne
/
and
payde
for
all
their
costes
.
And
than
they
rode
to
saynt
Phagons
and
there
refresshed
them
thre
dayes
/
and
in
euery
place
they
were
welcome
and
well
receyued
/
For
there
were
knyghtes
of
the
kynges
that
dyde
conducte
theym
/
and
payde
alwayes
for
their
costes
.
So
longe
/
they
code
that
they
passed
Spaygne
and
came
to
Naueret
/
where
as
the
batayle
had
ben
before
/
and
so
to
Pauyers
and
to
Groyne
/
and
there
rested
.
for
as
than
they
were
nat
in
certayne
if
the
kynge
of
Nauerre
wolde
suffre
them
to
passe
throughe
his
realme
or
nat
.
Than
they
sent
to
hym
.ii.
knightes
/
sir
Peter
Bysset
and
sir
Wylliam
Norwiche
.
They
founde
the
kynge
at
Tudela
in
Nauer
/
and
there
spake
with
hym
/
&
spedde
so
well
/
that
they
had
graunt
to
passe
through
Nauer
/
payeng
for
that
they
shulde
take
by
the
way
:
and
as
soone
as
these
knyghtis
were
retourned
/
they
departed
fro
Groyne
and
so
came
to
Pampylona
&
passed
the
mountains
of
Roūceaux
/
and
lefte
the
way
in
to
Bierne
/
and
entred
in
to
Bisquay
so
to
go
to
Bayon
/
at
last
thyder
they
came
/
and
there
sir
Iohan
Holande
taryed
a
long
space
with
his
wyfe
/
and
other
of
the
Englysshmen
rode
to
Burdeaux
.
Thus
this
armye
brake
vp
.
So
it
was
/
in
the
season
whyle
these
warres
endured
in
Castile
/
&
that
that
englisshmen
kepte
the
feldes
.
The
lorde
Bouciqualt
the
elder
of
the
.ii.
bretherne
sent
by
an
herault
to
sir
Iohan
Dambreticourt
/
desyring
to
do
with
hym
dedes
of
armes
:
as
thre
courses
with
a
〈◊〉
/
thre
with
an
axe
/
and
thre
with
a
dagger
all
or
〈…〉
the
knight
was
agreed
therto
.
And
after
that
sir
Iohan
Dambreticourt
sent
dyuers
tymes
to
accomplysshe
their
feate
/
but
Bouciqualt
came
nat
forwarde
/
I
can
not
tell
what
was
the
cause
/
nor
I
wyll
nat
say
but
that
he
was
a
tight
good
knight
/
and
mete
to
haue
done
a
greatter
feate
in
armes
than
that
was
.
And
whan
sir
Iohan
Dambreticourt
was
come
to
Bayone
in
the
company
of
sir
Iohan
Holande
/
he
was
in
dyuers
ymaginacions
on
his
chalenge
/
and
thought
that
honorably
he
might
nat
departe
out
of
those
partes
(
seyng
he
was
chalenged
to
do
dedes
of
armes
/
&
had
graunted
therto
)
without
he
fulfylled
the
same
/
for
if
he
returned
in
to
England
without
doyng
of
any
thyng
/
he
thought
that
the
frenchmen
wolde
saye
that
he
departed
for
feare
.
Than
he
toke
counsayle
of
sir
Iohn
Holande
and
of
other
/
what
were
best
for
him
to
do
.
He
was
counsayled
to
take
the
waye
through
Fraunce
/
with
the
safeconducte
that
the
duke
of
Burbon
had
gotte
hym
/
&
so
to
go
to
Parys
/
and
there
to
demaunde
for
sir
Bouciqualt
or
els
by
the
way
/
therby
at
lest
his
honour
shulde
be
excused
.
This
counsayle
the
knight
beleued
&
folowed
the
same
/
and
so
departed
fro
Bayon
and
entred
in
to
Biern
/
&
so
came
to
Artoys
&
there
founde
th
erle
of
Foiz
who
made
hym
good
chere
/
&
at
his
departyng
the
erle
gaue
hym
.ii.
C.
Florens
and
a
good
horse
.
Than
he
rode
forthe
through
Byern
&
entred
in
to
the
countre
of
Bigore
and
so
in
to
Tholousin
&
in
to
Carcassynois
/
and
in
his
company
was
Wylliam
of
Souuayne
&
other
squiers
of
Heynault
/
retournyng
in
to
their
countreis
.
So
longe
he
rode
that
he
came
to
Parys
/
&
at
that
tyme
the
kyng
was
in
Normandy
/
and
sir
Boucikalt
as
it
was
shewed
hym
was
in
Aragon
.
Than
sir
Iohn
Dambreticourt
to
acquyte
his
enterprice
/
presented
hym selfe
before
certayne
of
the
great
barons
of
Fraunce
beyng
at

/
and
shewed
them
howe

was

And
whan
he
hadde
taryed
there
.viii.
dayes
he
departed
&
came
to
Calais
and
they
of
Heynault
in
to
their
owne
countreis
.
Thus
lytell
and
litell
the
army
that
went
into
Spayne
and
into
Portugale
brake
vp
.
¶
Howe
the
duke

Cap.
C.vii.
IT
ought
to
be
supposed

that
the

Loys
of

(
who
was
at
the
begynnyng
of
this
enterprise

/
in

ordaynedde
to

was
well
enformed
howe
the
maters
went

If
he
had
knowen
that
it
shuld
haue
ben
so
/
he
wolde
haue
made
the
more
haste
/
for
it
was
long
or
he
entred

/
for
he
toke
a

by

to
se
hym
that
wrote
hymself
pope
Clement
/
and
there
taryed
a
long
space
/
&
whan
he
departed
he
rode
to
Mountpelyer
&
there
taryed
a
fyue
dayes
/
and
also
at
Besyers
&
Carcassone
/
Narbone
and
Parpinyon
/
and
than
entred

the
realme
of

/
tose
the
yonge
kynge
there
and
his
cosyn
the
quene

and
so
rode
to

and
there
founde
the

/
and
a

nombre
of
the
lordes
of
the
countrey
that
were
come
thyder
to
sest
hym
/
and
so
they
dyde
.
and
whan
he
had
ben
there
a
sixe
dayes
he
went
to
Valencensia
the
great
and
there
he
herde
sure
tidynges
howe
the
Englysshe
armye
was
withdrawen
and
passed
homewarde
/
and
howe
that
sir
Iohan
Hollande
was
in
Nauer
goyng
hōwarde
/
with
a
great
parte
of
his

And

sicke
in
Compostella
in
Galyce
:
and
in
dyuers
places
it
was
sayde
/
howe
he
was
deed
.
Howe
be
it
though
there
were
as
thanne
but
lytell
to
do
in
Spaygne
/
yet
he
thought
to
passe
further
and
sende
worde
of
his
comyng
to
the
kyng
of
Castile
who
was
ryght
gladde
therof
and
to
mete

/
came
to

Thus

all
the

entred
in
to

and
came
to

seyng
the

The
kyng
of
Portugale
/
by
reason
of
suche
alyaunce
as
was
bytwene
them
he
consented
/
and
departed
fro
Lirbone
and
came
to
Conymbres
/
and
there
made
his
sommons
through
out
his

euery

And
than
he
came
to

to

and
to
his

Howe beit
he
began

Nowe
let
vs
speke
of
the
duke
of
Burbon
/
who
was
with
the
kyng
of
Castyle
/
who
made
hym
as
good
chere
as
he
coude
/
and
all
other
prelates

lordes
of
the

.
And
many
counsayles
there
was
bytwene
them
/
to
determyne
what
they
shulde
do
/
outher
to

The
kyng
of

sawe
clerely

howe
the

shulde
best
be
for

sayd
eche
to

By
reason
of
these
frenchmen
our

are
wasted
and
dystroyed
/
though
they
be
come
to
kepe
it
/
we
haue
taken
by
them
great
domage
?
wherfore
we
thinke
it
shulde
be
good
/
to
thanke
the
duke
of
Borbon
for
the
payne
and
trauayle
that
he
hathe
endured
in

hyder
.
and
lette
vs
desyre
hym
louyngly
to

/
seynge
henedeth
nat
to
tary
here
for
any
warre
that
is
apatente
(
for
as
for
Galice
)
the
recouery
therof
shall
be
but
a
small
mater
for
vs
.
Thus
they
of
the
kynges
counsayle
comuned
eche
with
other
/
and
further
they
said
.
If
we
ones
receyue
these

they
must
be
payed
of
their

/
if
nat
/
they
will
pyll

robbe
all

/
for
the
comon
people
all
redy
begynneth
to

:
&
therfore
we
thynke
it
were
best
to
gyue
them
an
honest
congy
to
departe
.
This
counsayle
was
vpholden
and
the
kynge
well
consented
there
to
/
for
he
sawe
well
it
was
the
most
proftye
for
his
people
and
realme
/
for
they
coulde
take
no
hurte
but
it
shulde
be

So
that
one
daye
in

/
&
before

shewed

declared

And
the
duke

Burbon
and
dyuers
other
knyghtes
of
Fraunce
/
who
had
rather
retourne
than
to
a
byde
there
for
the
countrey
was
nat
mete
for
their
complerions
)
were
well
contente
to
retourne
/
and
prepared
themselfe
thervpon
.
and
bycause
the
duke
of
Burbone
was
laste
that
came
/
he
retourned
first
/
and
toke
his
leaue
of
the
kynge

and
said
howe
he
wolde

There
were
great
gyftes
gyuen
him
or
he
departed
/
and
might
haue
had
more
if
he
wolde
haue
taken
it
/
but
he
refused
euery
thynge
/
except
mules
and
mul●tte●
/
and
dogges
of
Spayne
.
Than
it
was
publisshed
that
all
frenchmen
might
at
their
pleasure
departe
out
of
Spayne
/
and
retourne
in
to

but
there
taryed

of
Spayne
and
the
marshals
/
and
a
thre
hundred
speares
of

/
poicteuyns
and

Thus
the

of
Burbone
returned
.
Whan
he
had
taken

And
where

he
was

well
receyued
.
for
the
duke
of
Burbone
was
gracyous
/
curteyse
/
honorable

and
well
renomed
.
And
the
kynge
of
Nauer
receyued
him
louyngly
/
and
neuer
shewed
any
maner

in
that
he
had
taken
a
way
fro
him
his

of

/
for
he
sawe
well
the
frenche
kyng
that
was
as
than
nephewe
to
the
duke
of
Burbon
/
was
in
no

for
whan
it
was
done
he
was

But
swetely
he
shewed

The

promysed

Than
the

departed

passed
thorough
the
realme
of
Nauer
peasably

And
on

who

of

there
they
met
amyably

as

And
whan
they
had
comuned
togyther
a
certayne
space
(
as
it
was

)
whan
I
was
at

.
The

drewe

felde
with
all

and
the

abode

Than

And

.
Sir

/
for

/
Therfore
syr
he
dothe
gyue

/
eyght

and
two

and

.
Syrs
quod
the

/
I
thanke

/
But
as
for

floreyns
I
wyll
take
none
/
as
for
the
other
presente
I
wyll
receyue
them
with
a
good
wyll
.
thus
the
florens
were
refused
/
and
the
Mules
and
horses
receyued
.
Than
the
erle
of
Foyz
came
to
the
duke
/
and
brought
hym
in
to
the
towne
of
Ortays
/
and
lodged
him
in
his
owne
place
/
&
all
other
were
lodged
in
the
towne
.
the
duke
was
thre
dayes
in
Ortays
/
and
had
great

with
dyners
and
suppers
.
And
there
the
Erle
of
Foize
shewed
the
duke
a
great
parte
of
his
estate
.
On
the
fourthe
daye
the
duke
departed
/
and
the
erle
gaue
to
the
knightes
and
squiers
great
gyftes
.
As
it
was
shewed
me
/
the
comynge
thyder
of
the
duke
of
Burbon
coste
the
erle
of
Foize
ten
thousande
frankes
.
Thus
the
duke
departed
and
went
in
to
Fraunce
/
and
rode
by
Mountpelyer
&
by
the
cytie
of
Puy
/
and
by
the
countye
of
Forestes
wherof
he
was
lorde
by
the
lady
his
wyfe
.
FOr
all
the
departyng
of
the
duke
of
Burben
(
as
ye
haue
herde
)
out
of
Spayne
/
sir
Willyam
Lignac
and
sir
Gaultier
of
Passac
departed
nat
so
soone
/
nor
the
companyes
to
the
nombre
of
a
thre
thousande
speares
and
syre
thousande
of
other
men
of
warre
/
and
lytell
and
lytell
euer
they
departed
.
They
were
many
out
of
wages
and
wery
of
the
warres
/
and
so
retourned
yuell
horsed
and
yuell
aparelled
/
all
to
torne
and
ragged
.
The
metynge
with
suche
people
was
nothynge
profytable
/
for
they
vnhorsed
whome
soeuer
they
met
/
and
made
warre
to
all
marchauntes
and
to
men
of
the
churche
/
and
to
poore
people
of
the
countre
where
any
thinge
was
to
gette
.
These
rutters
sayde
howe
the
warre
had
vndone
them
/
and
howe
the
kynge
of
Castyle
hadde
yuell
payed
theym
their
wages
/
wherfore
they
sayde
they
wolde
pay
themselfe
.
And
surely
suche
cyties
/
castels
/
and
good
townes
as
were
nat
stronge
in
Castyle
/
douted
them
greatly
.
and
agaynst
them
townes
and
cyties
closed
their
gates
for
feare
of
parels
/
for
all
was
hauocke
with
them
without
it
were
well
defended
.
Suche
knightes
and
squyers
as
came
by
the
erle
of
Foyze
to
se
hym
were
well
receyued
/
and
had
gyftes
and
rewardes
gyuen
them
ryght
largely
.
As
it
was
shewed
/
the
comyng
and
retournynge
of
men
of
warre
/
that
passed
by
th
erle
of
Foize
for
the
sayd
iourney
/
coste
hym
the
some
of
.xl.
thousande
frankes
.
THis
season
there
fell
an
incydent
in
the
towne
of
saynt
Phagon
in
Spaygne
after
the
departynge
of
the
duke
of
Burbone
/
the
whiche
coste
fyue
hundred
mennes
lyues
.
So
it
was
that
whan
sir
Gaultier
of
Passar
and
sir
Willyam
of
Lignac
entred
firste
in
to
Spayne
/
their
companyes
spredde
abrode
in
to
dyuerse
places
in
the
countrey
/
and
aboute
the
towne
of
saynte
Phagon
/
whiche
was
a
good
plentuous
countrey
.
There
were
many
of
the
bretons
/
poicteuyns
/
and
augenyns
/
of
rainton
and
men
of
the
lowe
countreys
.
And
whan
they
entred
fyrste
in
to
saynt
Phagon
/
they
entred
by
syxe
/
ten
/
fyftene
and
twenty
/
so
that
at
laste
there
were
mo
than
fyue
hundred
of
one
and
other
/
maysters
and
seruauntes
/
and
euer
as
they
came
they
lodged
them selfe
/
and
pilled
and
robbed
their
hostes
/
and
brake
vp
cofers
&
cupbordes
/
and
wolde
take
what
they
founde
.
And
whan
the
citezyns
sawe
their
demeanoure
/
to
the
entent
that
there
shulde
no
mo
entre
.
whan
these
straungers
were
at
their
reste
they
cryed
alarum
in
the
towne
/
and
the
spanyardes
were
redy
for
the
same
all
the
day
before
.
And
so
they
entred
in
to
the
lodginges
where
the
straungers
were
/
and
as
they
were
founde
they
were
slayne
without
pytie
or
mercye
/
and
happy
were
they
that
were
saued
.
the
same
nyght
there
were
slayne
mo
thanne
fyue
hundred
.
The
nexte
mornyng
these
tydinges
came
to
the
capytayns
that
were
comynge
to
the
same
towne
warde
.
than
they
drewe
them
togyder
to
take
counsayle
/
And
the
capitayns
determyned
that
it
was
no
tyme
than
to
be
reuenged
.
for
if
they
dyde
/
they
shulde
fynde
all
other
townes
and
cyties
against
them
/
wherof
their
enemyes
wold
/
be
right
ioyous
/
but
they
sayde
that
whan
their
voyage
shulde
haue
an
ende
/
that
in
their
retourning
they
wolde
thanke
them
accordynge
to
their
desertes
.
So
they
passed
forwarde
and
spake
nothynge
therof
/
but
they
thought
the
more
.
NOwe
than
so
it
happend
that
whan
euery
man
returned
/
except
suche
as
were
styll
abydinge
with
the
constable
sir
Olyuer
of
Clysson
/
and
specially
those
of
the
lowe
countreys
/
whan
they
came
togyder
they
sayd
eche
to
other
.
Nowe
lette
vs
paye
for
our
welcome
that
we
had
at
saynt
Phagon
?
Lette
vs
quyte
them
at
our
departyng
.
To
this
they
were
all
agreed
/
and
so
gathered
togyder
to
the
some
of
a
thousande
fightynge
men
/
and
they
aproched
saynt
Phagon
/
&
entred
in
to
the
towne
(
without
any
mystruste
that
they
of
the
cytie
had
to
them
/
for
they
trusted
all
thynges
had
ben
forgoten
)
The
straungers
cryed
alarum
in
a
hundred
places
/
and
cryed
slee
the
villayns
of
the
towne
/
and
take
all
that
they
haue
/
for
they
haue
well
deserued
it
.
Thanne
these
bretons
and
other
entred
in
to
the
howses
where
they
thought
to
wyn
moste
/
and
brake
vp
cofers
/
and
slewe
the
men
downe
in
euery
place
.
They
slewe
the
same
day
mo
than
foure
hundred
/
and
the
towne
robbed
and
spoyled
/
and
more
than
halfe
brente
/
whiche
was
great
domage
.
Thus
these
rutters
were
reuenged
for
the
dethe
of
their

Howe
the
kyng
of
Castell
and
his

were
yuell
contente
with
sir
Willyam
of
Lignac
and
syr
Gaultier
of
Passackes
company
/
and
howe
the
duke
of
Lancastre
departed
fro
saynt
Iaques
to
Bayon
.
Cap.
C.ix.
TIdynges
came
to
the
king
of
Castyle
howe
these
companyons
had
robbed
and
pylled
the
good
towne
of
saynt
Phagon
/
&
slayne
the
cytezyns
to
the
nobre
of
a
four
hundred
/
and
nigh
brent
the
towne
.
And
it
was
sayd
that
if
the
englysshe
men
had
wonne
it
with
assaute
/
they
wolde
nat
haue
daulte
so
cruelly
as
they
dyd
.
The
same
tyme
the
two
knyghtes
were
present
with
the
kynge
/
and
they
were
greatly
reproued
by
the
kyng
and
his
counsayle
.
They
excused
them
and
sayd
:
as
god
might
be
their
helpes
they
knewe
nothynge
therof
.
but
they
sayd
/
they
had
herde
howe
they
were
nat
contente
with
them
of
that
towne
/
bycause
whan
they
entred
firste
in
to
the
realme
and
came
to
saynte
Phagon
/
there
were
certayne
of
their
company
slayne
/
which
grudge
by
lyklyhode
they
haue
borne
euer
sythe
in
their
hertes
.
It
behoued
the
kyng
of
Castyle
to
let
this
mater
passe
/
for
it
wolde
haue
coste
hym
ouer
moche
to
haue
hadde
it
amended
.
But
he
bare
nat
so
good
wyll
to
the
capytayns
after
/
as
he
dyd
before
/
and
that
was
well
sene
.
for
whan
they
departed
and
toke
leaue
of
the
kyng
to
retourne
in
to
Fraunce
/
if
he
had
ben
pleased
with
them
/
it
ought
to
be
supposed
they
shulde
haue
been
better
payed
of
their
wages
than
they
were
.
For
the
duke
of
Burbone
that
came
laste
and
was
firste
that
departed
/
he
and
his
company
had
all
the
chere
/
and
well
rewarded
.
Thus
these
people
issued
out
of
Castyle
by
dyuerse
wayes
/
some
by
Bisquay
&
some
by
Aragon
.
Suche
as
were
noble
and
honeste
knyghtes
and
squyers
/
and
lyued
well
and
kepte
good
rule
/
they
departed
pore
and
yuell
horsed
.
and
suche
as
were
hardy
and
aduentured
to
robbe
and
pylle
/
they
were
well
horsed
and
well
furnisshed
with
gold
and
syluer
/
and
their
males
full
of
baggage
.
Thus
it
falleth
in
suche
aduentures
/
some
wyn
and
some
lese
.
The
kyng
of
Castyle
was
ioyfull
whan
he
sawe
he
was
clene
delyuered
of
suche

NOwe

Iames
/
and
the

and
his

Katheryn
.
It
is
to
be
thought
that
the

day
and
nyght
was
nat
without
anoyaunce
/
for
he
sawe
his

in
a
harde

suche
as

with

Nor
there
was
none
that
wolde
treate
for
any
composicyon
to
be
had
bytwene
hym
and
the
kynge
of
Castyle

nor
that
he
wolde
take
the
duches
his
wyfe
for
enheritour
of
Castell
/
nor
gyue
her
any

there
of
.
But
he
herde
his
men
saye
/
that
they
were
enfourmed
by
pylgrymes
that
came
to
saynt
Iaques
/
oute

Flaunders
/
Brabant
/
Heynaulte
/
and
other

as
they
came
throughe
the
realme
of
Spaygne
:
They
herde
the
men
of
warre
saye
to
them
.
Sirs
ye
shall
go
to
saynt
Iaques
and
there
ye
shall
fynde
the

kepeth

he

The
Englisshmen
were
wont
to
say
that
we
coude
better
daunce
than
make
warre
.
But
nowe
is
the
tyme
come
that
they

kepe

Suche
tales
were
tolde
to
the

he
toke
all
in

he
had
none

And
as
soone
as

myght
ryde
he
departed
/
and
the
duches
and
his

Iaques

For

Howbeit
I
saye

But
whan

Demaunded

Than
he

.
Sir

the

wolde
kepe
them

his

Nor

For
th

who
was
full

/
consydred
that

shulde
nat
be
renforsed
/
with
them
that
ought
to
serue
hym
.
And
one
thynge
that
was
reasonable
the
Erle
of
Foiz
ymagined
.
sir
Espaygne
de
Leon
shewed
it
me
whan
I
was
at
Ortays
/
&
in
lykewise
so
dyde
the
erle
of
Compane
/
capitayne
of
Carlot
in
Auuergne
:
and
also
so
dyde
the
Bourge
of
Englande
.
They
sayd
howe
the
erle
of
Foiz
regarded
howe
he
had
had
open
warre
with
them
of
Armynake
/
thoughe
it
were
peace
bytwene
them
(
as
than
)
whiche
was
but
a
truese
/
the
whiche
was
dyuers
tymes
renewed
bytwene
theym
.
Therfore
he
thought
●hat
if
the
erle
of
Armynake
had
all
those
companyons
vnder
his
gouernaunce
/
his
warres
shulde
be
the
fayrer
.
So
that
the
armynakes
and
the
labricience
with
their
alyes
/
myght
do
hym
a
great
displeasure
.
This
was
the
cause
that
suche
as
owed
fauour
to
th
erle
of
Foiz
/
wolde
nat
agte
to
the
erle
of
Armynake
.
Howe
be
it
they
made
them
beleue
that
they
wolde
/
but
they
dyd
but
dissemble
/
for
they
brake
all
their
apoyntmentes
.
howe
be
it
they
rode
nat
abrode
so
moche
as
they
dyde
before
/
Wherby
alwayes
the
Erle
of
Armynake
thought
to
haue
come
to
his
purpose
.
They
that
agreed
to
hym
were
Perotte
de
Bernoys
/
who
helde
the
stronge
castell
of
Salucette
/
whiche
is
chefe
and
soueraygne
of
all
Auuergne
and
Lymosyne
/
for
their
patesyng
endured
to
Rochell
.
And
also
Guyllyam
of
saynt
Foye
/
who
helde
the
castell
of
Bonteuyll
/
and
also
Margote
Marcell
/
who
helde
Loysse
before
saynt
Flour
in
Auuergne
/
and
the
Bourge
of
Compaygne
and
the
Englysshe
Bourge
/
who
helde
Carlotte
.
Margote
Marcell
sayde
he
was
contente
/
so
that
he
myght
haue
in
lykewise
Perotte
/
Bernoys
/
and
Geffray
Teate
Noyre
/
who
helde
Vandachore
/
who
was
souerayne
aboue
all
other
.
But
he
dyde
but
mocke
and
dissemble
the
mater
/
for
he
disdayned
to
fall
to
any
treatie
of
the
erle
of
Armynakes
/
or
of
any
other
.
For
he
thought
his
castell
imprignable
and
well
prouyded
for
seuyn
or
eyght
yeres
/
for
he
had
a
passage
or
two
that
coude
nat
be
taken
fro
hym
/
but
that
he
myght
issue
whan
he
lyste
/
to
refresshe
hym selfe
and
his
company
.

I

ALonge
season
it
was
that
they

had
grete
hatered
toguyder
/
and
so
dyd
the
countreis
to
them
adioyninge
/
by
reason
of
certayne
bondes
one
agaynst
another
.
And
the
moost
hatered
that
the
brabanders
had
to
the
duke
of
Guerles
and
to
his
heyres
/
was
for
the
towne
of
Graue
/
whiche
the
dukes
of
Guerles
had
holden
per
force
a
longe
season
agaynst
the
brabansoys
.
For
they
sayd
/
bycause
that
the
towne
of

stode
on

syde
of

of
Muese
towardes

that
the

had
been

poyntmentes
taken

howbeit
alwayes
the

stacke
in

Also
the

hated

thre
fayre

were
on

And
by
reasone
(
as
in

I
shall
begynne
at
the
duke
of
Guerles
)
These
hatereddes
were
often
tymes
renewed
bytwene
them
of
Guerles
and
Brabant
.
And
it
was
supposed
by
dyuers
knightes
and
squyers
that
knewe
of
their
dedes
of
armes
/
that
if
sir
Edwarde
of
Guerles

of
an

that
was
with
the

Vyncelant
of
Boem
duke
of
Lusenbourge

of
Brabante
/
If
he
had
lyued
(
with
that
that
his

had
had
the
vyctorie
)
he
hadde
come
to
his

in

agayne
the
thre
castelles
.
for
he
was
lo
valiant
a
man
and
so
hardy
/
that
he
wolde
haue
conquered
them
agayne
.
¶
Nowe
I
wyll
declare
(
as
I
haue
promysed
)
how
and
in
what
maner
these
foresayd
castelles
came
in
to
the
signorie
of
the
brabansoys
/
and
first
I
wyll
begyn
with
the
dukes
of
Guerles
.
IN
the
tyme
whan
I
wrote
and
ordayned
this
hystorie
/
there
was
an
Erle
of
Guerles
/
called
Raynolde
/
and
bycause
that
Guerles
is
no
riche
countre
/
nor
so
great
as
the
duchy
of
Brabant
.
This
erle
came
to
his
lande
a
yonge
man
/
and
had
a
frewyll
to
dispende
largely
/
and
thought
full
lytell
of
the
ende
that
myght
come
after
.
He
cared
for
nothynge
but
for
to
accomplysshe
his
pleasure
/
and
haunted
iustes
and
tourneys
to
his
gret
cost
/
to
gette
hym
renome
.
And
euery
yere
he
spended
four
tymes
as
moche
as
the
value
of
the
reuenewes
of
his
landes
.
He
borowed
of
the
lombardes
in
dyuers
places
/
he
was
so
lyberall
and
outragious
:
He
ran
so
in
dette
/
that
he
coulde
nat
ayde
hym selfe
with
any
thynge
that
he
had
/
so
that
his
parentes
and
frendes
greatly
blamed
hym
/
and
speciallye
an
vncle
of
his
by
his
mothers
syde
/
He
came
of
the
house
of
Orcle
/
and
was
archebysshop
of
Coleygne
/
who
sayd
to
hym
in
maner
of
gyueng
hym
counsayle
.
My
fayre
nephewe
Raynolde
/
ye
haue
so
demeaned
youre selfe
/
that
nowe
ye
are
become
a
poore
manne
/
and
your
landes
lyeth
in
pledge
in
dyuers
places
.
And
throughe
all
the
worlde
there
is
but
lytell
accompte
made
of
poore
lordes
.
Thynke
you
that
suche
as
haue
hadde
these
great
giftes
of
you
and

wyll
rendre
it
againe

as

ayde
me
no

But
whan
they
se
you
in
this
poore

and
haue
no
more

gyue
them
/
they
wyll
flye
fro
youre

and
mocke
you

youre
foule

ye
shall
fynde

no

though
I

I

myne

Margarett

of
Almayne
Loys
of
Bauyers
/
and
yet
he
hath
thre
other
/
he
wyll
marry
them
all
highly
.
yf
ye
hadde
well
borne
your selfe
/
and
nat
haue
layde
your

/
nor
put
out
of

none

/
ye
might
ryȝtwell
haue
fortuned
to
haue
had
one
of
his
doughters
in

/
but
in
the
case
ye
be

now
/
ye

ye

nother

This

Than
after

assembled
togider

suche
as
loued
hym

to

Whan
these

came

sent

he
made

made

said

And
he

And
desyred

Thynkynge

her
more
highly

(
thought
to
accepte
this
maryage
)
but
or
he
fullye
assented
therto
in

he
had
dyuers
ymaginacions

cast

sayd
to

yf

Those

yea
?
And
moreouer
lyke
to
be
dysenheryted
.
Wherfore
without
this
be
artycled
I
wyll
neuer
consent
therto
.
How
be
it
I
wyll
answere
these
messanges
that
their
commyng
pleaseth
me
greatlye
/
and
that
my
doughter
shulde
be
happy
if
she
myght
come
to
so
great
a
perfection
/
as
to
be
conioyned
in
maryage
to
the
erle
of
Guerles
/
thoughe
it
shulde
cost
me
right
derely
/
so
that
the
maters
were
clere
.
But
as
nowe
/
euery
man
knoweth
well
they
be
nat
clere
/
but
in
sore
trouble
.
And
also
he
hath
forfayted
all
his
herytage
bytwene
the
ryuers
of
Muese
and
Ryne
.
Wherfore
to
be
quyte
of

euery

maye
se
clerely

he
demaundeth
my
doughter
in

and
if
I
gyue
her
to
hym
/
I
wyll
knowe
howe
it
shall
be
.
And
also
/
if
case
that
my
doughter
haue
sonne
or
dough●
by
hym
/
I
wyll
know
if
they
shal
be
heyres
of
Guerles
or
no
/
for
any
other
maryage
that
the
erle
may
happe
to
haue
after
.
And
of
this
alyaunce
I
wyll
haue
good
suretie
of
hym
and
of
them
that
be
next
of
his
blode
/
and
of
suche
as
haue
any
ryght
to
demaunde
any
successyon
in

of

also
promyse
of

Thus
Berthaulte
of
Malygnes
determyned
hym selfe
to
make
answere

commyssyoners
.
THe
next

at
an
hour
assigned

messanges
came

there
he
shewed

Berthault
mette
them

swetely
recyued

than
ledde

He

sore
displeased
and
sent

The

The

And
in

and

desyring

castelles
/
for

money
that
was
payde
for
them
.
The
duke
wolde
make
no
suche
bargayne
/
but
denyed
it
.
With
whiche
answere
sir
Edwarde
of
Guerles
was
nat
content
/
&
dalte
hardely
with
the
wydowe
the
lady
Isabell
of

/
yonger
suster
to
the
duches
/
whiche
lady
had
wedded
the
duke
Raynolde
of
Guerles
.
but
thus
he
troubled
her
for
her
dowrie
.
The
lady
wente
in
to
Brabant
and
complayned
her
to
the
duke
of
Brabant
her
brother
and
to
the
duchesse
/
howe
that
sir
Edwarde
of
Guerles
dyde
her
great
wronge
&
iniury
.
And
bycause
there
was
a
grudge
bytwene
the
Brabansoys
and
the
guerloys
/
for
the
lande
and
towne
of
Grance
/
whiche
was
in
Brabant
on
that
syde
the
ryuer
of
Muese
Therfore
the
duke
and
the
brabansoys
were
more
enclyned
to
ayde
the
lady
.
and
on
a
day
there
were
assembled
togyder
at
the
callyng
of
the
duke
of
Brabant
a
great
nombre
of
men
of
warre
/
a
.xii.
hundred
speares
.
And
sir
Edwarde
of
Guerles
made
his
assemble
on
the
other
parte
/
and
were
in
that
case
that
it
was
likely
to
haue
had
a
batayle
bytwene
them
.
But
the
duke
Aubert
/
the
duke
of
Mours
/
&
the
duke
of
Iullyers
mette
togyder
by
a
treatie
/
and
so
this
assemble
departed
a
sondre
with
out
any
thyng
doyng
.
The
same
yere
the
duke
Wyncelant
of
Brabant
ouerthrewe
the
companyons
in
the
countrey
of
Lusenburge
/
who
had
greatly
wasted
that
lande
/
and
putte
many
to
exyle
:
and
in
the
towre
of
the
castell
of
Lusenburge
dyed
their
souerayne
capitayne
called
the
lytell
Meslyn
.
And
also
in
the
same
yere
sir
Charles
of
Boesme
/
who
as
than
raigned
and
was
kynge
of
Almaygne
and
emperour
of
Rome
/
instytuted
duke
Wyncelant
of
Boesme
and
made
hym
souerayne
regarder
/
by
an
instytucion
and
ordynaunce
called
in
Almayne
/
Le
langue
fride
/
that
is
to
say
/
holding
the
couert
and
sure
wayes
.
So
that
all
maner
of
people
myght
go
and
come
/
and
ryde
fro
towne
to
towne
surely
and
in
sauegarde
.
And
the
Emperour
gaue

of
the
lande
and

of
Dauffay
/
on
bothe
sydes
the

/
to
defende
hym
therin
agaynst
the
lynfars
/
who
were
a
maner

people
ryght
peryllous
/
and
great

without

.
And
also
the
Emperour
gaue
hym
the
souerayntie
of
the
good

riche
cytie
of
Straubourcke
/
and
made
him
Marques
of
the
holy
Empyre
/
to
augment
therby
his
estate
.
And
surely
he
coulde
nat
gyue
hym
to
moche
/
for
this
Duke
Wyncelant
was
lyberall
/
swete
/
courtesse
/
amyable
/
and
noble
in
armes
:
&
was
likely
to
atchyue
many
thynges
if
he
hadde
lyued
long
/
but
he
dyed
in
the
floure
of
his
youthe
.
Wherof
I
that
haue
written
this
hystorie
make
great
complaynt
for
hym
/
that
he
lyued
no
lengar
/
but
tyll
he
was
a
.xxiiii.
yere

age
.
Thescisme
that
was
in
the
churche
greatly
displeased
hym
/
and
that
he
shewed
me
often
tymes
for
I
was
priue
of
his
acquayntaunce
.
in
that
in
my
dayes
I
traueyled
a
great
parte
of
the
worlde
/
two
great
princes
I
knewe
and
non
more
humble
nor
tretable
than
they
were
(
that
was
this
noble
prince
one
/
and
the
other
my
good
mayster
the
lorde
Guy
of
Bloys
/
who
commaunded
me
to
make
this
hystorie
)
These
two
princes
were
in
my
dayes
/
and
wereful
of
humilyte
/
larges
/
and
bountie
:
without
any
malyce
.
They
lyued
lyberally
of
their
owne
/
without
oppressynge
their
people
/
or
reysing
vp
of
any
yuell
customes
in
their
landes
.
¶
Nowe
let
vs
retourne
to
the
pythe
of
the

/
that
I
haue
begone

WHan
the
duke
of

/
who

/
and
with

and
fauour
had
alwayes
ayded
them
in
their

.
Whan
they
sawe
that
the

of
Brabant
hadde
so
hygh
a
signory
/
as
to
be
lorde
and
souerayne

by
the
Emperonr
/
and
was
chiefe
correctour
of
all
mysdoers
and

.
They

And

and

.
And
soo

And
it
were
they
that

of

of
Iuliers
.
It

Great

He

and
to

and
to

in

The

Whan

/
but
outher
they
were
slayne
or
taken
/
The
duke
of
Brabante
was
taken
/
and
syr
Roberte
of
Namure
/
and
syr
Loys
of
Namure
his
brother
/
and
sir
Willyam
of
Namure
sonne
to
the
erle
of
Namure
/
and
many
other
.
Also
on
the
duke
of
Iulyers
parte
there
were
some
slaine
and
hurte
.
but
ye
know
well
it
is
a
generall
rule
/
the
great
losse
euer
resteth
on
them
that
be
disconfyted
.
howe
be
it
for
all
the
domage
the
duke
of
Brabante
had
in
that
iourney
/
yet
they
hadde
one
great
poynte
of
remedy
&
comforte
/
for
sir
Edwarde
of
Guerles
was
wounded
to
dethe
.
And
this
I
saye
bycause
it
was
the
opinyon
of
dyuerse
/
that
if
he
had
lyued
he
wolde
haue
rydden
so
forwarde
/
that
with
puyssaunce
he
wolde
haue
come
to
Bruselles
and
conquered
all
the
countreye
/
for
none
wolde
haue
resysted
hym
.
He
was
hardy
and
fierse
/
and
hated
the
brabansoys
/
bycause
of
the
thre
castels
that
they
helde
agaynst
hym
.
This
iourney
and
victory
had
the
duke
of
Iulyers
in
the

of
our
lorde
god
/
a
thousande
thre
hundred
and
a
leuen
/
on
saynt
Bartylmewes
euyn
/
on
a
fridaye
.
THe
duches
of
Brabant
purchased
her
frendes
/
and
had
counsayle
of
Charles
the
frenche
kyng
/
who
was
nephue
to
the
duke
of
Brabant
an
all
his
bretherne
/
for
they
were
chyldren
of
his
suster
.
she
was
counsayled
by
the
kynge
to
go
to
the
kynge
of
Almayne
emperoure
/
brother
to
the
duke
of
Brabante
/
for
whose
sake
the
duke
her
husbande
had
taken
all
that
domage
.
The
lady
dyd
so
and
came
to
Conualence
on
the
ryuer
of
the
Ryne
/
&
there
founde
the
Emperoure
/
And
there
wysely
she
made
her
complaynte
.
The
emperoure
herde
her
well
/
the
whiche
he
was
bounde
vnto
by
dyuerse
reasons
.
The
one
bycause
the
duke
was
his
brother
/
and
another
bycause
he
had
institude
hym
to
be
his
vycare
/
and
souerayne
regarder
of
the
Languefryde
.
he
comforted
the
lady
and
sayd
/
that
at
the
next
sommer
he
wolde
fynde
some
remedy
.
The
lady
retourned
into
Brabante
well
comforted
.
And
the
emperour
sir
Charles
of
Boesme
slept
nat
his
busynes
/
but
waked
the
mater
/
as
ye
shall
here
.
For
as
soone
as
wynter
was
past
he
aproched
to
the
noble
cytie
of
Coloyne
/
&
there
made
his
prouysion
/
in
suche
wyse
as
though
he
wolde
go
to
conquere
a
realme
of
defence
/
and
wrote
to
his
dukes
&
erles
that
helde
of
hym
/
and
commaunded
them
at
the
thyrde
day
of
Iune
they
shulde
be
with
hym
at
Ayes
/
with
fyfty
horse
a
pece
/
on
payne
of
lesyng
of
their
landes
.
and
specially
he
commaunded
thre
/
as
duke
Auberte
erle
of
Haynalte
/
that
he
shulde
come
to
Ayes
with
fyfty
horse
/
and
so
he
dyd
.
Whanne
these
lordes
were
come
/
there
was
moche
people
.
And
than
syr
Charles
his
sonne
sayde
that
he
wolde
go
and
entre
in
to
the
landes
of
duke
Iulyers
&
destroy
it
/
bycause
of
the
great
outrage
that
he
had
done
/
as
in
enteryng
in
to
the
felde
with
an
army
against
the
emperours
vycaire
his
brother
.
this
sentence
was
gyuen
by
playne
iudgement
in
the
emperours
chambre
.
Than
to
that
mater
regarded
the
archebysshoppe
of
Treues
/
the
archbysshoppe
of
Coloyne
/
the
byssop
of
Marauce
/
the
bysshoppe
of
Liege
/
the
duke
Aubert
of
Bauier
/
the
duke
Oste
his
brother
/
and
diuerse
other
barons
of
Almayne
(
that
thought
)
to
dystroy
the
landes
of
so
valyaunt
a
knyght
as
was
the
duke
of
Iulyers
/
shulde
be
yuell
done
/
and
also
he
was
nere
of
their
kynne
.
They
sayde
it
were
better
fyrste
to
sende
for
hym
/
that
he
myght
come
to
obeysaunce
.
That
apoyntment
was
holden
for
the
best
/
for
the
loue
of
bothe
partyes
.
Than
duke
Auberte
and
his
brother
came
to
Iuliers
/
and
found
there
the
duke
/
who
was
abasshed
/
and
wyste
nat
what
counsayle
to
beleue
/
for
it
had
ben
shewed
him
that
the
assemble
that
the
emperour
had
made
was
to
come
on
hym
/
without
his
frendes
dyd
stoppe
it
.
Whan
these
lordes
were
come
to
the
duke
he
was
gladd
/
specyally
by
the
comynge
of
his
two
cosyns
germayns
/
the
duke
Aubert
of
Bauiers
and
the
duke
Oste
his
brother
/
for
he
knewe
well
that
they
wolde
nat
his
dyshonoure
/
but
rather
to
gyue
hym
good
counsayle
/
as
they
dyd
.
Their
counsayle
was
to
shewe
you
breuely
/
that
he
shulde
sende
some
honorable
persones
for
the
duke
of
Lusenburge
and
of
Brabant
/
whome
he
helde
in
curtoyse
prison
in
his
castell
of
Nideque
/
and
so
he
dyd
.
And
whan
he
was
come
all
those
lordes
dyd
hym
great
honour
/
as
reason
was
.
And
than
they
all
departed
togyder
/
and
came
to
Ayes
and
toke
their
lodgynges
.
Than
the
duke
Auberte
and
his
brother
/
and
the
foresayd
prelates
/
who
were
the
meanes
of
this
treatye
.
they
sore
entreated
the
emperour
and
his
counsayle
/
and
shewed
the
emperoure
howe
the
duke
of
Iuliers
his

/
of
his

free
wyll
was
come

/
and
to
put
hym selfe
poorely
with
out
any
reseruacyon
/
into
his
obeysaunce
and
commaundement
/
and
to
knowledge
hym
for
his
soueraygne
and
liege
lorde
.
These
swete
and
amyable
wordes
molefyed
greatly
the
emperours
ire
that
he
had
before
.
Than
the
emperoure
sayd
.
Lette
the
duke
come
to
me
?
and
so
he
dyde
/
and
kneled
downe
before
the
emperoure
and
sayde
.

To

I
Am
yet
wyllynge
to
treate
of
this
matter
more
at
lengthe
/
to
renforce
this
hystorye
/
and
to
brynge
it
to
the
poynte
that
I
wolde
come
vnto
.
&
to
declare
the
trouthe
/
why
Charles
the
frenche
kyng
came
with
a
great
puyssaunce
in
to
Almayne
.
I
might
haue
shewed
this
before
but
I
haue
prolonged
it
(
for
all
thingꝭ
though
the
date
and
season
be
paste
yet
they
ought
to
be
shewed
in
this
hystory
)
for
whan
I
knowe
that
the
frenche
kynge
and
the
kynge
of
England
began
to
be
besy
/
than
I
began
to
wake
to
procede
this
hystory
/
more
than
I
dyd
before
.
Therfore
I
saye
thus
.
Whan
duke
Wyncelant
was
returned
in
to
the
countrey
/
&
clerely
delyuered
out
of
person
(
as
ye
haue
herde
before
)
Than
he
was
in
wyll
to
vysyte
his
landes
and
castels
/
as
well
in
the
duchy
of
Luzenbourge
/
as
else
where
.
and
toke
his
iourney
to
the
good
cytie
of
Strawesbourge
/
throughe
the
lande
of
Fauquemount
and
behelde
the
thre
castels
whiche
were
the
occasion
of
the
duke
of
Guerles
yuell
wyll
.
He
founde
theym
stronge
and
fayre
/
if
he
loued
them
before
/
he
loued
them
moche
better
than
:
and
caused
them
to
be
newly
fortyfied
/
and
set
workemen
a
worke
/
as
masons
/
carpenters
/
and
dykemakers
/
to
amende
euery
place
.
and
at
his
departynge
he
set
a
valyaunt
knyght
to
be
soueraygne
keper
of
these
thre
casteles
.
This
knyght
was
called
sir
Iohan
Grosset
/
who
at
the
dukes
commaundemente
toke
on
hym
the
charge
/
at
his
parell
.
The
duke
passed
further
and
vysited
his
countrey
/
and
at
his
pleasure
retourned
agayne
in
to
Brabante
/
for
there
was
his
abydynge
.
In
this
season
syr
Iohan
of
Blo●s
had
wedded
the
olde
lady
and
duches
of
Guerles
/
for
the
herytage
by
right
came
to
hym
/
by
the
deth
of
sir
Edwarde
of
Guerles
his
brother
/
who
was
slayne
(
as
ye
haue
herde
/
in
the
batayle
of
Iulyers
)
But
his
suster
the
duches
of
Iulyers
stroue
with
hym
and
made
chalenge
/
and
the
moste
parte
of
the
knightes
and
good
townes
inclyned
most
to
the
ladyes
parte
/
bycause
she
had
a
fayre
sonne
/
who
was
able
than
to
ryde
.
and
that
was
well
sene
/
for
always
he
was
in
the
warres
/
so
that
sir
Iohn
de
Bloyse
nor
his
wyfe
coulde
neuer
haue
peasable
possessyon
.
But
the
chalenge
of
the
ryght
of
his
wyfe
and
the
pursute
therof
/
coste
hym
aboue
a
hundred
thousande
frankes
.
For
the
sonne
of
duke
Wyllyam
of
Iuliers
shewed
well
in
his
youth
that
he
was
noble
and
hardy
/
and
loued
dedes
of
armes
/
for
he
came
of
noble
ertractyon
.
and
so
was
duke
of
Guerles
/
and
had
in
mariage
the
eldest
doughter
of
duke
Auberte
/
who
had
ben
wedded
before
to
sir
Edward
of
Guerles
/
but
he
had
neuer
carnally
coupyled
with
her
/
for
she
was
to
yonge
.
Thus
she
was
maryed
to
the
lorde
Willyam
of
Iulyers
/
and
he
and
she
were
moche
of
one
age
.
And
soo
she
was
styll
duches
/
as
she
was
before
.
This
yonge
duke
increased
in
honour
/
wytte
/
and
prowes
/
and
in
great
wyll
to
haunte
dedes
of
armes
/
and
to
augment
his
herytage
.
And
his
he●e
was
rather
englysshe
than
frenche
/
and
sayd
always
(
as
yong
as
he
was
)
that
he
wolde
ayde
to
insteyne
the
kynge
of
Englandes
quarell
for
he
was
nerer
of
blode
to
hym
than
to
the
Frenche
kyng
.
It
was
shewed
hym
dyuerse
tymes
howe
the
brabansoys
dyd
him
great
wronge
/
to
kepe
fro
hym
the
thre
castels
.
Than
he
aunswered
and
sayd
.
Let
vs
suffre
a
senson
/
euery
thynge
muste
haue
his
turne
?
It
is
no
season
as
yet
for
me
to
awake
/
for
our
cosyn
of
Brabante
hathe
many
great
frendes
/
and
he
is
a
sage
knight
/
but
a
tyme
may
come
that
I
shall
a
wake
.
Thus
the
mater
stode
a
season
/
tyll
god
toke
oute
of
this
lyfe
duke
Wyncelante
/
who
dyed
duke
of
Boesme
/
duke
of
Lusenbourge
/
and
of
Brabante
/
as
it
hath
ben
conteyned
before
in
this
hystory
.
By
the
dethe
of
this
duke
the
duches
of
Brabant
loste
moche
.
Than
the
yonge
duke
of
Guerles
/
who
was
ryght
valyaunt
/
and
lykely
to
dysplease
his
enemyes
/
and
thought
than
to
get
and
recouer
agayne
his
thre
castelles
/
bycause
of
the
debate
that
was
and
had
ben
bytwene
Brabante
and
his
vncle
the
lorde
Edwarde
of
Guerles
.
Than
he
sente
to
treate
with
the
duches
of
Brabant
/
to
delyuer
his
castelles
/
for
the
somme
of
money
that
they
laye
in
pledge
for
/
always
affyrmynge
howe
they
laye
but
in
guage
.
The
lady
answered
the
messangers
how
she
was
in
possessyon
of
them
/
and
helde
them
as
her
owne
ryght
and
enherytaunce
.
But
bycause
she
wolde
the
duke
shulde
be
a
good
neyghbour
to
Brabaunte
/
that
he
shulde
leaue
and
gyue
vp
the
towne
of
Graue
/
the
whiche
he
helde
in
the
duchy
of
Brabant
.
Whan
the
duke
of
Guerles
had
herde
this
aunswere
/
he
was
nothynge
well
contente
:
and
thought
great
dispyte
therof
.
And
thought
and
ymagined
many
thynges
/
and
couertly
he
treated
with
the
knyght
/
called
sir
Iohan
of
Grosselotte
/
chiefe
capitayne
of
the
sayde
castelles
/
to
assaye
if
he
coude
gette

by

/
or

The
knyght
who
was
trewe
and
sage
/
wolde
in
no
wyse
harken
therto
.
And
sente
to
the
duke

desyringe
hym
to
speke
no

:
For
to

there
shuld
neuer
faut
be
founde
in
hym
nor
that
he
wolde
consente
to
do
any
trayson
to
his
naturall
lady
.
And
whan
the
duke
of
Guerles
sawe
that
(
as
I
was
enfourmed
)
he
dyde
so
moche
to
sir
Raynolde
of
Dyscouorte
/
that
he
toke
for
a
small
occasyon
a
displeasure
agaynst
the
knyght
:
So
that
on
a
daye
he
was
mette
with
all
in
the
feldes
/
and
there
slayne
/
wherwith
the
duchesse
of
Brabante
was
sore
displeased
and
so
was
all
the
countre
/
and
the
castelles
were
putte
in
other
kepynge
/
by
the
agrement
of
the
duches
and
of
the
counsayle
of
Brabant
.
THus
the
matters
stode
certayne
yeres
/
and
euer
there
norisshed
couert
hate
/
what
for
the
towne
of
Graue
on
the
one
parte
/
and
for
the
thre
castelles
on
the
other
parte
:
Bytwene
the
duke
of
Guerles
and
the
duches
of
Brabant
/
and
their
countreis
.
and
they
of
the
fronter
of
Guerles
bare
alwayes
yuell
wyll
couerlly
against
them
of
Brabant
suche
as
marched
nere
to
them
:
and
dyd
euer
to
them
as
moche
dyspleasure
as
they
coude
do
/
and
specially
suche
as
were
in
the
towne
of
Graue
.
And
bytwene
the
dukes
woode
and
the
towne
of
Graue
/
there
was
but
four
leages
and
a
playne
countrey
/
and
fayre
feldes
to
ryde
in
.
And
they
of
Guerles
dyde
alwayes
there
as
great
dispyte
to
the
brabansoys
/
as
they
myght
.
And
the
mater
went
so
forwarde
/
that
the
duke
of
Guerles
passed
the
see
/
and
went
in
to
Englande
to
sekyng
Rycharde
his
cosyn
/
and
his
other
cosins
:
as
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
the
duke
of
yorke
/
the
duke
of
Glocestre
/
and
other
great
barons
of
Englande
.
He
had
there
good
chere
for
they
desyred
to
se
hym
/
&
to
haue
his
acquayntaunce
for
the
Englysshe
men
knewe
well
that
this
dukes
herte
/
corage
/
ymaginacion
/
and
affection
/
was
rather
Englysshe
than
Frenche
.
In
this
vyage
he
made
great
alyaunce
with
the
kynge
of
Englande
/
and
bycause
at
that
tyme
he
helde
nothynge
of
the
kynge
of
Englande
/
wherby
he
shulde
beare
hym
faythe
/
homage
/
or
seruyce
.
Therfore
kyng
Richarde
gaue
hym
in
pencyon
out
of
his

/
a
thousande
marke
by
yere
:
And
was
counsayled
to
assaye
to
gette
his

and
was
promysed
to
haue
aide
of
the
Englysshe
men
/
in
suche

that
he
shulde
take

And
by
this
meanes
he
sware
to
be
true
and
faithfull
to
the
kyng
/
and
to
the
realme
of
Englande
.
And
whan
this
alyaunce
was
made
/
he
tooke
his
leaue
of
the
kynge
and
of
his
cosyns
/
and
other

of

And
retourned

Kynge
Charles

laste
discessed
before

that
I
speke

frendes
on

/
for
it
stode

/
&
for
all
that
he
coude
nat
do
so
moche
as
to
make
resystence
against
his

.
Howe
be
it
he
dyde
as
moche
as
he
coude
by
gyftes
and
fayre
promyses
/
to
sytte
in
rest
and
to
haue
ayde
/
so
that
he
gate
hym selfe
many
frendes
/
in

and
other

.
So
that
whan
the
duke
of
Iulyers
was
quyte
delyuered
oute
of
prisone
/
and
was
come
to
the
duke
of
Brabant
.
The
kynge
and
he
were
great
frendes
toguyder
/
and
by
the
ordynaunce
the
Emperour
of
Rome
dyde
sette
.
The
duke
of
Iulyers
wente
to
Parys
to
se
the
kynge
/
and
there
he
was
nobly
receyued
/
and
great
gyftes
gyuen
to
hym
and
to
his

.
And
than
he
made
relefe
to
the

for
the

of
Vyerson

whiche
parteyned
to
the
countie
of
Bloys

And
there
the

sware
that

shulde
neuer

agaynst
the
Crowne

And
so
as
longe
as
the

lyued
he
kept
his
othe
:
For
surely
as
long
as
kyng
Charles
lyued
he
dyde
hym
no
maner
of
domage
/
nor
consented
to
none
to

But
whan

that

By
reason
of
the
warres
of
Flaunders
(

been
shewed

And
after

He
hadde
so

that
he
coude
nat
take

The
duof
Iulyers
than
came
nat

who
toke

as
soueraygne

sayde

Howe
the
relefes
parteyned
to
hym
:
And
so
ceased
the
landes
and
toke
the
profytes
therof
/
and
by
puyssaunce
putte
out
fro
his
ryght
the

and
neuer

bytwene
them

But

Than

called

in

therto
adioynyng

They
had

of

Bycause
the
duke

was
but
a
small
prince
/
to
the
regarde
of
other
/
and
but
of
smalle

Men

therof
in

after

Thanne
the

counsayle
sayde

Madame

ye

And

counsayle

For

herde
howe
the

If

/
as
the

ronneth
that

bycause
the
Englysshemen
and

:
He
can
haue
no
better
entre

the
realme
of
Fraunce
than

Wherfore
it
is
good
that
the

the

be
aduertysed
therof
:
And
that
youre

For

We

that

maye
lightlye
gette
/
as
well
of
Englysshe
men
as
of
almaygnes
/
who
alwayes
are
couetous
/
and
desyreth
to
make

of

on
trust
of
wynnyng
.
Than
the
duchesse
sayd
to
her
counsayle
.
sirs
ye
saye
trouthe
/
it
shal
be
as
ye
haue
deuised
.
Than
suche
as
shulde

As

The

called

Iohan
Grane
/
and
the

Nycholas
de
la
Monoy
.
All
four
were
of
the
preuy
counsayle
with
the
duchesse
of
Brabant
.
They
departed
fro
Bruselles
with
letters
of
credence
and
rode
to
Parys
.
At
that
tyme
nother
the
kynge
nor
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
was

there
/
they
were
at
Rohane
in

.
Than
they

WHan

for

/
they
delyuered

/
and
he
receyued

.
Than
whan
tyme
was
he
brought
them
to
the
kynge
/
who
for
loue
of
their
lady
receyued
them
louyngly
.
Than
the
kyng

&

and

(
as

as

Those
wordes
contented
greatly
these
ambassadours
/
and
so
went
to
their
lodgynges
.
The
kynge
and
his

his
counsayle
/
were
dayly
toguyder
in
counsaile
for
dyuers

The
defyance
of
the
duke
of
Guerles
was
nothyng
pleasaunt
to
them
/
nor
also
they
knewe
nat
what
the
duke
of
Bretayne
was
purposed
to

bycause

Finally

This

answere
contented
greatly
the

of

.
Thus
they
departed
&
returned
to
Parys
and
fro

&

THe

A

The

They

This

IT
is
sayd
:
and
it
is
of
trouthe
/
that
there
is
nothyng
more
certayne
than
dethe
.
I
saye
it
bycause
that
kynge
of
Nauer
whan
he
dyed
/
thought
full
lytell
that
he
had
been
so
nere
to
his

as
he
was
.
If
he
had
knowen
therof
/
paraduenture
he
wolde
haue
taken
better
hede
than
he
dyde
.
He
was
in
the
cytie
of
Pampylona
in
Nauerre
/
He
ymagined
howe
he
wolde
reyse
a
great
taylage
in
his

howe
he
wolde
haue
this
money
reysed
.
His
counsayle
durste
nat
saye
nay
/
for
he
was
a
cruell
prynce
.
Than
the
moste
notable
persones
of
other
cyties
and
townes
in
his
realme
were
sente
for
/
to
come
to
Panpylona

They
came

for
they
durst
nat

.
Whan
they
were
come
all
togyther
in
to
the
kynges
palays
/
the
kynge
hym selfe
declared
forthe
the
mater
why
they
were
sent
for
.
He
was
a
king
ryght
subtyle
/
sage
/
and
well
langaged

and
at
the
conclusion
sayde
/
howe
towardes

CC.M.

the

This
request
abasshed
greatly
the
people
/
for
the
yere
before
there
had
ben
a
batayle
in
Nauer
/
by
reason
wherof
a
tayle
was
raysed
to
the
somme
of
hundred
thousande
floreyns
:
And
besyde
that
he
maryed
his
doughter
the
lady
Iane
to
duke
Iohan
of
Bretaygne
/
and
a
great
parte
of
that
money
as
than
nat
payde
and
vngadered
.
Whan
the
kynge
hadde
made
his
demaunde
/
he
desyred
to
haue
an
answere
:
Than
they
requyred
to
take
counsayle
and
to
speke
toguyder
.
The
king
gaue
them
respite
.xv.
dayes
.
than
the
chefe
of
them
to
make
answere
.
The
brute
of
this
taylage
spredde
abrode
through
Nauerre
/
and
euery
man
was
a
basshed
therof
.
At
the
.xv.
dayes
ende
/
the
moste
notable
persones
of
the
good
cyties
and
townes
returned
to
Panpilona
/
to
the
nombre
of
a
threscore
persones
/
who
had
charge
to
aunswere
for
all
the
hole
realme
.
The
kynge
was
present
at
their
answere
makyng
/
whiche
was
done
in
a
fayre
garden
/
farre
of
fro
any
people
/
and
closed
aboute
with
hygh
walles
.
Than
they
aunswered
all
with
one
accorde
/
and
shewed
the
pouerte
of
the
realme
/
and
alleged
howe
the
former
tayle
was
nat
as
than
all
leuyed
nor
gadred
/
wherfore
they
besought
him
for
goddessake
to
haue
pytie
of
them
/
for
they
sayd
surely
the
realme
was
nat
able
to
beare
it
.
and
whan
the
king
sawe
that
he
coude
nat
easely
attayne
to
his
purpose
/
he
was
sore
dyspleased
/
and
departed
fro
them
and
sayd
.
Sirs
/
ye
are
yuell
counsayled
/
take
counsayle
agayne
/
and
speke
yet
agayne
togyder
.
And
so
he
went
in
to
his
chambre
/
and
his
counsayle
with
hym
.
Than
all
these
good
persones
were
togyder
in
this
garden
faste
closed
in
with
hygh
walles
/
and
the
kynge
commaunded
in
no
wyse
to
suffer
them
to
issue
out
/
&
to
haue
but
lytell
meate
nor
drinke
.
Than
they
were
there
in
great
doute
of
their
lyues
/
and
there
was
none
that
durste
speke
for
them
.
and
so
it
was
supposed
that
by
constreynt
he
had
his
desyre
/
for
he
strake
of
a
thre
of
their
heedes
/
suche
as
were
moste
contrary
to
his
entente
to
●
gyue
feare
and
ensample
to
other
.
Than
there
fell
a
straunge
insydence
by
a
marueylous
sodayne
aduenture
/
the
whiche
god
sent
lyke
a
myracle
.
I
shall
shewe
you
how
/
as
I
was
enfourmed
in
the
countie
of
Foize
at
Ortays
at
the
erles
house
/
by
men
of
Panpylona
/
it
past
nat
a
thre
or
four
dayes
iourney
thence
.
It
was
shewed
me
howe
this
kynge
of
Nauer
in
his
dayes
loued
well
women
/
and
at
the
same
tyme
he
had
a
fayre
damosell
to
his
louer
/
for
he
was
a
wydower
a
longe
season
.
On
a
nyght
he
laye
with
her
a
space
/
and
than
retourned
to
his
chambre
in
a
feuer
/
and
sayd
to
his
seruauntes
.
Dresse
my
bedde
/
for
I
wyll
rest
me
a
season
/
and
so
went
to
his
bed
/
and
trymbled
for
colde
/
and
coulde
take
no
heate
.
He
was
an
aged
man
aboute
a
threscore
yere
of
age
/
and
of
vsage
his
bedde
was
wont
to
be
chased
with
a
bason
with
hote
coles
/
to
make
hym
swete
/
whiche
often
tymes
he
vsed
/
and
dyd
hym
no
hurte
.
At
this
tyme
his
seruauntes
dyd
the
same
/
but
outher
as
god
wolde
or
the
deuyll
/
a
burnynge
flame
toke
in
the
shetes
/
in
suche
maner
that
or
he
coulde
be
reskewed
he
was
brente
to
the
bowels
/
he
was
so
wrapped
bytwene
the
shetes
.
So
that
he
lyued
fyftene
dayes
after
in
great
payne
and
mysery
/
inso
moche
that
physyke
nor
surgery
coulde
helpe
hym
/
but
that
he
dyed
.
This
was
the
ende
of
the
kynge
of
Nauerre
.
And
so
the
poore
men
of
the
countrey
were
quyte
of
their
taylage
/
and
delyuered
fro
payenge
there
of
to
Charles
his
sonne
/
who
was
a
noble
good
knyght
and
a
yonge
/
and
was
kynge
of
Nauerre
/
and
crowned
kynge
the
same
seasone
that
I
wrote
this
hystory
/
anone
after
the
obsequy
done
of
his
father
/
in
the
cytie
of
Paupylona
.
yE
haue
well
herde
here
before
of
the
treatyes
that
hadde
ben
made
in
the
counties
of
Armynake
and
dolphenty
/
in
Auuergne
and
Lymozyn
/
who
were
enemyes
to
all
their
neyghbours
.
Many
of
them
were
well
content
to
departe
/
for
they
thought
they
had
warred
and
trauelled
the
realme
of
Fraunce
longe
ynoughe
/
thynkynge
than
to
goo
and
robbe
and
pyll
in
other
places
.
The
duke
of
Armynake
promysed
theym
to
leade
them
in
to
Lumbardy
/
But
the
erle
of
Foyze
who
wolde
nat
lyghtly
be
dysceyued
thought
the
contrary
.
He
helde
hym selfe
styll
to
se
the
ende
of
that
busynesse
/
and
euer
dylygentely
enquyred
/
howe
the
treatyes
wente
forwarde
in
those
parties
/
and
whan
these
men
of
warre
shulde
departe
/
and
whyder
they
shuld
drawe
.
And
the
men
of
his
countrey
sayde
/
that
the
renome
was
/
howe
they
wolde
go
and
rynne
a
bowfe
a
robbynge
and
pyllynge
.
Thanne
the
Erle
caste
downe
his
heed
and
sayde
.
Alwayes
newes
rynne
amonge
of
warre
.
The
erle
of
Armynake
&
Bernarde
his
brother
are
yonge
/
and
I
knowe
well
they
loue
me
nat
nor
my
countrey
.
These
men
of
warre
may
happe
by
his
meanes
to
rynne
on
me
and
my
countrey
/
howe
be
it
I
wyll
prouyde
there fore
in
suche
wyse
/
that
I
truste
I
shall
take
no
domage
.
It
is
sayd
/
longe
prouysion
before
maketh
sure
possessyon
.
Thus
the
erle
of
Foyze
sayde
to
his
counsayle
/
and
it
was
no
folysshe
imagynacyon
/
as
it
apered
after
/
if
I
maye
atteygne
to
the
tretynge
therof
.
yE
haue
herde
here
before
rehersed
/
how
Geffrey
Tete
noyr
breton
/
who
hadde
longe
kepte
the
garyson
of
the
stronge
castell
of
Vandachor
in
Lymozyn
/
on
the
fronter
of
Auuergne
&
Burbonoys
/
wolde
in
no
wyse
departe
out
of
the
castell
/
for
he
helde
it
as
his
owne
propre
enherytaunce
/
and
had
patysed
all
the
countrey
there
aboute
/
and
vnder
their
patesyng
the
people
labored
in
pease
and
reste
.
Thus
this
Geffrey
kepte
the
estate
of
a
greate
lorde
.
He
was
a
cruell
man
in
his
dyspleasure
/
he
hadde
no
more
pytye
to
slee
a
man
than
a
beest
.
Nowe
to
come
to
purpose
.
whan
the
tydinges
spred
abrode
in
Auuergne
and
Lymozyn
/
of
the
tayle
that
was
gathered
in
the
countreys
/
to
the
entente
to
a
voyde
out
of
the
countrey
these
men
of
warre
.
Than
it
was
brewted
that
the
men
of
warre
in
the
fortresse
of
Vandachor
shulde
departe
/
&
to
gyue
vp
the
fortresse
to
the
duke
of
Berrey
.
By
reason
of
that
tydynges
the
people
were
contente
to
pay
this
tayle
.
But
whan
they
sawe
the
contrary
(
for
the
most
hurte
that
they
had
/
was
by
them
of
the
garyson
of
Vandachor
)
thought
the
money
that
they
had
payed
at
the
first
gatherynge
but
loste
/
and
sayd
howe
they
wolde
paye
no
more
crosse
nor
mayle
/
without
they
of
Vandachor
were
constreyned
to
departe
out
of
the
countrey
.
These
tydynges
came
to
the
he●yng
of
the
duke
of
Berrey
/
who
had
all
the
soueraygne
charge
of
the
countrey
of
Auuerge
/
Lymozyn
/
and
Gelnadan
.
Than
the
duke
and
his
counsayle
sayde
.
Surely
these
poore
men
haue
good
cause
to
saye
so
/
and
to
be
lothe
to
pay
their
money
for
nothinge
/
and
more
ouer
sayde
/
howe
he
hym selfe
and
his
counsayle
were
to
blame
/
that
they
layde
nat
a
siege
aboute
that
fortresse
/
to
kepe
them
of
that
garyson
fro
issuyng
out
.
Thanne
the
duke
of
Berrey
ordeyned
at
the
cost
and
charge
of
the
countrey
foure
hundred
speares
of
good
men
of
armes
/
to
besiege
Vandachor
by
bastydes
.
And
soueraigne
capytaynes
of
that
company
was
syr
Willyam
of
Lygnac
and
syr
Iohan
Boesme
launce
/
a
valyaunt
knyght
of
Burbonoyse
.
These
men
of
armes
and
knyghtes
/
as
nere
as
they
myght
layde
siege
to
Vandochor
/
and
made
ba●tydes
in
foure
places
/
and
by
men
of
the
countrey
they
made
great
trenches
and
defence
vpon
the
straytes
,
to
stoppe
their
issuinge
out
.
But
the
capytayne
Geffrey
set
lytell
therby
/
for
he
knewe
well
his
garison
was
well
furnysshed
with
all
maner
of
thynges
/
thoughe
there
came
no
newe
vytayle
to
them
in
seuen
yere
.
Also
the
castell
stode
in
so
strong
a
place
vpon
a
rocke
/
that
it
coude
take
no
domage
for
any
assawte
.
And
for
all
this
siege
and
bastydes
/
they
within
wold
often
tymes
issue
out
by
a
preuy
posterne
/
whiche
opened
bytwene
two
rockes
/
so
that
they
wolde
issue
out
vnder
couerte
/
and
ryde
abrod
in
the
countrey
/
and
toke
prisoners
.
Other
thynge
they
wolde
bringe
none
to
their
fortresse
/
they
coulde
nat
bycause
of
the
strayte
wayes
/
and
stronge
mountaynes
that
they
must
passe
by
.
And
this
issue
coulde
nat
be
stopped
fro
them
for
the
aley
vnder
couert
endured
fro
their
garyson
a
seuen
or
eight
leages
/
or
they
came
out
in
to
the
feldes
/

as

The
knyghtes
sayde
they
shulde
do
their
beste
/
to
fulfyll
his
commaundemente
.
They
made
them
redy
and
gadred
their
men
/
and
wente
forthe
as
soone
as
they
myght
/
and
drewe
in

Brabante
/
and
sente
worde
of
their
comynge
to
the
duches
of
Brabante
/
and
so
passed
through
the
lande
of
Lusenburge
.
And
than
by
the
ordynaunce
of
the
marshall
of
Brabant
/
they
were
sente
in
to
the
thre
castels
that
the
duke
of
Guerles
chalenged
and
wolde
haue
againe
/
bycause
they
had
ben
layde
but
to
pledge
.
that
is
to
say
/
Buth
/
Gaulyth
/
&
Nulle
.
There
they
helde
them
in
garyson
and
made
good
fronter
warre
/
&
somtyme
rode
abrode
to
encountre
their
enemyes
.
The
duke
of
Guerles
fortefyed
hym selfe
agaynste
them
/
and
furnysshed
his
townes
and
castels
agaynst
them
/
for
he
sawe
well
the
warre
was
as
than
open
.
So
it
fortuned
that
syr
Willyam
of
Tremoyle
/
desyringe
to
auaunce
hym selfe
to
do
some
thynge
that
myght
sownde
to
his
honoure
.
He
set
his
imagyncion
on
a
day
on
a
towne
in
Guerles
/
a
foure
leages
fro
his
fortresse
.
this
towne
was
called
Seaulle
/
and
he
shewed
secretely
his
entensyon
to
syr
Geruays
of
Merande
his
companyon
/
who
lightly
accorded
to
his
mynde
.
So
they
gathered
their
company
togyder
and
departed
aboute
mydnyght
/
and
rode
a
rounde
pase
too
this
towne
/
and
had
guydes
that
brought
them
to
Seaule
/
by
that
tyme
it
was
daylight
.
Than
they
rested
them
&
apoynted
what
they
wolde
do
.
And
as
it
was
shewed
me
/
syr
Geruays
with
.xxx.
speares
/
went
on
before
for
to
wynne
the
gate
/
and
sir
Willyam
of
Tremoyle
to
folowe
after
/
bycause
they
feared
if
they
shulde
haue
rydden
all
togyder
to
haue
been
spyed
.
but
they
thought
how
they
of
the
towne
shulde
thynke
none
other
/
but
that
they
shulde
be
a
certayne
nombre
of
men
of
armes
/
sent
thyder
by
the
duke
of
Guerles
to
refresshe
the
garyson
.
Thus
this
knyght
sir
Geruays
with
.xxx.
speares
rode
before
to
the
towne
of
Seaulle
.
In
the
mornynge
they
founde
men
and
women
goynge
to
the
towne
/
for
it
was
markette
day
/
they
saluted
theym
in
the
langage
of
Almayne
and
rode
forthe
.
The
poore
men
went
surely
they
had
been
men
of
the
countrey
perteynynge
to
the
duke
of
Guerles
that
were
rydynge
to
the
garyson
.
Syr
Geruays
and
his
company
rode
forthe
tyll
they
came
to
the
gate
and
founde
it
open
with
a
small
warde
/
it
was
so
erly
that
the
moste
parte
of
the
people
were
in
their
beddes
.
They
rested
there
and
were
lordes
of
the
gate
.
Than
incontynent
sir
Willyam
of
Tremoyle
and
his
route
came
galopynge
thyder
as
faste
as
they
myght
/
and
entred
into
the
towne
/
&
cryed
their
cryes
.
Thus
the
towne
was
wonne
without
any
defence
/
for
the
men
of
the
towne
thought
full
lytle
that
the
frenchmen
wolde
haue
done
such
an
enterprise
/
and
the
moste
parte
of
them
were
in
their
beddes
.
¶
Howe
the
frenche
men
after
they
had
brente
and
ryfeled
the
towne
of
Seaulle
retourned
to
their
garyson
/
and
of
the
ioy
that
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
and
the
duches
of
Brabante
made
for
that
dede
/
&
howe
sir
Iohn
Boesme
launce
discomfyted
the
englysshmen
.
Cap.

THis
enterprise
was
done
on
the
nyght
of
saynt
Marten
in
wynter
/
and
a
thre
dayes
before
there
came
thyder
a
knyght
of
Englande
with
ten
speares
and
.xxx.
archers
/
sente
by
the
kynge
of
Englande
.
This
knyght
was
called
syr
Guylliam
Fykaole
.
Whan
the
larum
began
he
was
rysinge
out
of
his
bed
.
He
herde
that
the
towne
was
wonne
/
and
demaunded
by
whome
.
he
was
aunswered
that
it
was
done
by
bretons
.
Ah
qd
the
knight
bretons
are
yuell
people
/
they
wyll
burne
and
pyll
the
towne
/
&
than
departe
.
What
crye
do
they
crye
?
syr
qd
they
/
they
crye
on
Tremoyle
.
Than
the
englysshe
knyght
closed
the
castell
/
and
helde
hym selfe
&
his
company
within
/
to
se
if
any
reskewe
came
.
but
euery
man
was
so
abasshed
that
they
fled
hyther
&
thyder
.
The
poore
people
fledde
in
to
the
mynster
/
and
some
auoyded
the
towne
by
another
gate
.
the
frenchmen
sette
fyre
in
the
towne
in
dyuerse
places
/
howe
be
it
there
were
many
howses
of
stone
and
bricke
/
that
the
fyre
coulde
nat
lighty
burne
them
.
The
moste
parte
of
the
towne
was
brent
pylled
/
and
robbed
/
so
that
nothyng
was
lefte
that
was
good
/
&
the
rychest
men
of
the
towne
taken
prisoners
.
The
englysshe
knyght
was
taken
at
laste
/
For
whan
he
sawe
that
all
was
lost
he
opened
the
howse
that
he
was
in
/
for
he
douted
the
fyre
/
whan
he
sawe
the
flames
and
smoke
in
euery
corner
of
the
towne
/
and
so
came
out
with
his
penon
before
hym
and
his
company
archers
and
other
/
and
there
valiauntly
defended
them selfes
a
longe
season
.
But
fynally
he
was
taken
and
yelden
prisoner
to
sir
Guylliam
of
Tremoyle
/
and
all
his
company
taken
/
but
fewe
slayne
.
Whan
the
frenchemen
had
done
their
wylles
with
the
towne
of
Seaulle
in
Guerles
/
and
their
varlettes
driuing
their
pyllage
before
them
they
departed
for
they
thought
it
foly
too
a
byde
there
/
and
went
to
their
garison
fro
whence
as
they
came
.
Thus
the
duke
of
Guerles
had
the
first
buffet
and
domage
/
wherwith
he
was
sore
dyspleased
whan
he
knewe
therof
.
and
so
came
thyder
with
a
great
nombre
of
menne
of
warre
/
and
thought
well
to
haue
founde
there
the
frenche
men
/
but
they
were
gone
.
Than
he
newe
renpayred
the
towne
and
furnished
it
with
newe
men
of
warre
/
who
were
more
dilygent
to
kepe
the
towne
/
thanne
they
that
were
there
before
.
Thus
daily
the
aduentures
of
warre
fell
/
some
loste
one
daye
and
some
another
.
The
duches
of
Brabante
/
and
all
tho
of
her
countrey
were
gretly
reioysed
of
this
aduenture
/
and
sir
Gillyam
of
Tremoyle
/
and
syr
Geruais
of
Merande
atchyued
great
grace
.
Than
they
of
the
countrey
sayde
/
that
in
the
nexte
sommer
folowyng
they
wolde
wynne
it
agayne
.
Whan
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
herde
these
tydinges
/
and
howe
that
his
men
that
were
in
garyson
in
Brabant
dyd
well
and
valyauntly
/
he
was
gladde
therof
/
and
to
incorage
theym
he
wrote
pleasaunt
letters
often
tymes
to
syr
Guylliam
his
knyght
.
Thus
they
taryed
there
all
that
wynter
/
kepinge
well
their
fronters
/
&
defendynge
them selfe
fro
domage
.
And
after
the
castelles
and

of

were
better
taken
hede

they
were
before
.
Nowe

Durante
/
an

And
bycause
the
countrey
was
alwayes
in
doute
of
the
men
of
warre
that
were
on
the
fronters
of
Burbonoys
/
there
was
a

Boesme

Whyle

I
wyll

and
so
departe
fro

as

went

as
his

called
sir

and
also
sir
Loys
Dabton
/
and
the

And
so
toke
the
feldes
without
kepyng
of
any
high
way
/
they
knewe
the
countrey
/
&
came
to
a
passage
where

There
was
a
sore
rencountre

and
certayne
ouer
throwen
on

partyes
.
But
to
say
the
trouth
the
frenchmen
were
better
expert
men
of
armes
than
the
auenturers
/
and
that
semed
well
/
for
there
were
none
of
the

they
were
but
poore
companyons
aduenturers
/
and
he
thought
it
were
better
to
hange
them
/
drowne
them
/
or
raunsome
them
/
rather
thanne
to
suffre
so
many
of
them
to
abyde
styll
in
the
towne
.
And
so
whan
he
departed
thence
he
sayd
to
Geronet
.
Syr
/
ye
shall
abyde
here
with
a
certayne
/
for
all
the
reste
of
your
company
/
and
the
other
shall
departe
and
go
seche
your
raunsome
/
And
that
ye
shall
paye
/
I
shall
apoynte
them
that
shall
receyue
it
/
and
whanne
the

Therfore
remembre

what
I
do
for

lykewyse
.
Syr
quod
Geronet
/
I
am
bounde
so
to
do
/
and
so
we
be
all
.
Thus
Boesme
launce
departed
/
and
retourned
agayne
to
the
syege
of
Vandachor
.
And
a
twelue
of
the
prysoners
taryed
styll
in
Mounteferante
/
and
the
other
departed
and
went
to
Galuset
/
to

to

.xxii.
hundred

.
They
that
taryed
styll
at
Mountferant
lay
and
made
good
there
/
and
no
great
watche
layde
on
them
/
but
they
went
vp
and
downe
in
the
towne
at
their
plesure
/
and
so
were
there
a
fyftene
dayes
/
and
in
that
season
they
lerned
moche
of
the
state
of
the
towne
/
the
whiche
cost
after
a
hundred
thousande
frankes
.
WHan
the
capytayne
of
Galuset
was
infourmed
of
the
aduenture
of
Gere
not
of
Mandurant
/
how
that
he
and
his

he
made

and
said
to

for

.
Syrs
/

quod
he
/
as

I
nother

/
they

haue
nothynge
of
me
.
I
made
them
nat
to
go
for
the
/
they
rode
at
their
owne
aduenture
/
therfore
ye
may
shewe
them
/
let
aduenture
delyuer
them
.
Thynke
you
that
I
wyll
enploye
my
money
after
that
sorte
?
nay
surely
.
I
canne
haue
alwayes
companyons
ynowe
to
ryde
more
sagely
than
they
dyd
.
As
forme
I
wyll
quyte
out
no
man
/
without
he
be
taken
in
my
company
.
This
was
the
fynall
answere
that
they
coulde
gette
for
Geronet
.
Than
they
sayde
amonge
themselfe
/
it
were
best
that
two
or
thre
of
vs
retourne
agayne
to
Geronet
/
and
shewe
him
all
the
case
.
So
thre
of
them
retourned
to
Mountferante
/
and
as
they
rode
they
passed
by
Cleremount
/
and
sawe
well
the
walles
were
nat
of
no
great
heyght
.
Than
they
sayd
one
to
another
.
this
towne
is
prignable
/
if
we
come
hyder

a
nyght
we

there

We

one
tyme
bargayne
and
another
tyme
bye
/
we
can
nat
both
bargayne
and
bye
all

Thus
they
rode
forthe

rode
to
Mountferante
/
and
there
founde
Geronet
and
his
companyons
/
and
there
shewed
him
all

wherof
they
were
a
basshed

for

wyste
nat

Thus
all
a
daye
and
a
nyght
they
were
in
great
dyspleasure
.
the
next
daye
Geronet
sayde
to
them
that

Syrs
/
I

and
shewe

/
serued

and
wyll

And
shewe
hym

Frenche

And
if
I

be

And
shewe

/
that

With
that
message
the
thre
companyons
retourned
agayne
to
Galuset
/
and
shewed
Perot
their
message
.
Thanne
he
studyed

sayd
.
It
maye
well
be

he
sayeth
/
at

and
so
opened
a
cofer
wherin
was
more
than
threscore
thousande
frankes
/
nat
gathered
of
his
rentes
that
he

For

/
he
is
well
able
to

Thus
they
departed
fro
Galuset
&
retourned
to
Mount
ferante
/
it
was
a
.xiiii.

leages
bytwene
/

Syrs

Wherof

Barbe
a

The
companyons
of
seuen

assembled
togyder
at
Ousac
englysshe
men

and
they
were
a
four
hundred
speares
well
mounted
/
and
than
they
had
but
sixe
leages
to
ryde
.
The
first
that
came
to
Ousac
was
Perote
of
Bernoys
/
to
shewe
that
it
was
his
enterprise
/
and
to
take
counsayle
with
the
other
capytayns
/
by
the
aduyse
of
Geronet
and
accordyng
to
the
informacyon
that
he
had
gyuen
hym
.
Than
Geronet
and
a
twelue
other
with
hym
/
arayed
theym
lyke
rude
vyllayne
marchauntes
in
cotes
of

and
ledde
horses
tyed
one
to
another
with
baggage
on
them
/
accordynge
to
the
custome
of
the
countrey
.
And
thus
they
departed
fro
Ousac
in
the
brekynge
of
the
daye
/
and
so
rode
towardes
Mountferant
/
and
lyke
marchauntes
they
entred
into
the
towne
about
noone
.
There
were
none
that
toke
any
hede
what
men
they
were
/
they
thought
full
lytell
they
hadde
ben
men
of

.
They
of
the
towne
demed
surely
they
had
ben
marchauntes
/
come
thyder
to
the
fayre
to
haue
bought
cloth
and
dyaper
/
for
they
said
they
came
fro

to

for
against
the
fayre
there
was
come
thyder
moche
marchaundyse
fro

cyties
and
townes
of

.
Than
Geronet
and
his
company
wente
to
their
lodgynge
/
to
the
syne
of
the
Crowne
/
and
sette
vp
their
horses
and
toke
vp
a
fayre
chambre
for
them
/
and
kepte
theym
styll
therein
without
goynge
aboute
in
the
towne
for
feare
of
spyenge
/
and
so
sate
and
made
mery
/
and
thought
well
they
wolde
pay
nothynge
for
their
expenses
.
AT
nyght
they
were
besy
to
dresse
their
horses
and
said
to
their
host
and
ostes
/
that
their
horses
hadde
sore
trauayled
all
that
day
/
wherfore
they
had
nede
of
rest
.
They
prouyded
them
of
plenty
of
candels
/
and
so
went
in
to
their
chambre
and
dranke
and
made
mery
/
but
they
wolde
nat
go
to
bed
.
So
the
host
and
the
hostes
wente
to
their
beddes
and
lette
them
alone

and
had
no
suspecte
of

Now

By

/
whiche
was
done

whan

and
all
the
same
nyght

/
wherfore
the
capytayne
of

of

issued
nat
out
that
nyght
of
his

/
but
he
sent
his

forthe

was
but
yonge

of

syxtene
yere
of

.
And
as
he
wente
fro

gate

he
founde
four

The
yonge

coueted
the
money
and
toke

/
and
they
departed
fro
their
watche

and
wente

Than
Geronet
and
his

watched
at
their

to

Than

Perot
and

Than

Than
they
without

redy
axes
and
wedges
and
hewed

gate
lyke
carpenters
.
And
as
soone
as
they
coulde
gette
in
a

they
put
in
axes
and
wedges
to
Geronet
/
that
he
and
his

shuld
hewe
a
sonder
the

of

Than
dyuerse
men
herynge
that
noyse
arose
out
of
their
beddes
/
and
had
meruayle
what
it
myght
be
/
for
they
thought
full
lytell
that
the
englysshe
men
shuld
haue
reysed
them
out
of
their
beddes
/
at
that
tyme
of
the

.
Than
the
kepers
of
the
gate
who
had
yuell
kept
their
warde
/
herynge
men
speke
and
horses
braye
and
crye
/
knewe
well
they
were
dysceyued
/
and
rose
and
came
to
the
wyndowes
of
the
gate
/
and
beganne
to
cry
with
an
hygh
voyce
/
trayson
tray●on
.
than
all
the
towne
began
to
ryse
in
great
feare
/
and
many
thought
to
saue
their
goodes
and
them selfe
and
fledde
to
the
castell
/
but
the●
were
but
a
fewe
that
entred
.
For
the
Chatelyn
within
the
castell
whanne
he
vnderstode
that
the
englysshe
men
had
wonne
the
towne
/
for
feare
of
lesynge
of
more
/
he
wolde
nat
lette
downe
his
bridges
.
Some
of
his
frendes
that
came
first
he
lette
them
come
in
by
meanes
of
a
planke
/
And
whanne
he
herde
the
great
brewte
in
the
towne
/
than
he
drewe
in
a
gayne
the
planke
/
and
after
that
he
wolde
no
more
put
it
forthe
/
but
wente
aboute
to
se
what
defence
he
shulde
make
if
the
castell
were
assayled
.
thus
I
haue
shewed
you
howe
the
fyrste
gate
was
opened
/
and
the
second
broken
with
axes
and
wedges
/
and
than
they
entred
fayre
and
easely
.
These
capytayns
and
their
companyons
or
they
entred
in
to
any
house
/
they
rode
all
the
streates
in
the
towne
togyther
/
to
se
if
there
were
any
assemble
to
make
any
defence
.
And
whan
they
had
sertched
euery
place
/
and
founde
no
man
to
make
any
resistence
/
but
a
certayne
suche
as
were
gone
to
haue
entred
into
the
castell
made
a
lytell
defence
/
but
soone
they
were
taken
and
slayne
.
What
shulde
I
make
longe
processe
/
Thus
the
towne
of
Mounte
Ferante
in
Auuergne
was
taken
on
a
thursday
at
nyght
/
the
thyrtenth
day
of
February
/
by
Perot
le
Bernoys
and
his
company
?
And
whan
they
sawe
howe
they
were
lordes
of
the
towne
they
toke
vp
their
lodgynges
at
their
ease
/
without
settynge
of
any
house
a
fyre
/
or
doynge
of
any
other
vyolence
.
For
Perot
le
Bernois
had
charged
on
payne
of
dethe
no
man
to
vyolate
any
maner
of
woman
or
mayden
/
nor
to
sette
any
house
a
fyre
/
nor
to
take
no
good
nor
prisoner
lytell
nor
greate
/
tyll
he
had
fyrste
knowledge
therof
.
And
also
/
that
no
man
shulde
be
so
hardy
to
hurte
any
churche
or
trouble
any
man
of
the
churche
/
nor
to
take
any
thynge
out
therof
.
This
maner
euer
Perot
vsed
whan
so
euer
he
wanne
any
towne
or
fortresse
.
But
Geffary
Tele
noyre
dyd
always
the
contrarye
/
for
he
neuer
cared
for
churche
nor
for
nothynge
els
/
so
that
he
myght
haue
it
and
get
good
/
he
cared
nat
howe
.
THe
same
mornynge
whanne
tydinges
of
this
dede
came
to

what
to

toke
good

Of

YE

well
herde
here

howe

o●
sar

For

it
was
nat
done
in
no
curtesse
maner

but
out
of
the
style
and

of

.
Trouthe

I

my selfe
certayne
writynges

the

But
bycause
I

nor
aproued
as
such

ought

suche

therfore
I

Howe

/
it
semed
well
that
this
defyaunce
was
displeasaunt
to

/
&
wolde
haue

And
that
the

The

for

of

Without

shulde
be
greatly
to

:
And
they
sayd
howe
the

was
yonge

forwarde
/
and
that
was
well

in
his

Flaunders

And
if

mysordred
.
And
to
the
entent
that

nor
the

shulde
beare
no

the
lorde
of
Coucy
toke

:
And

well
howe
the

touchedde

He

better
than

THe

howe

The

who
were

/

wherfore

Howe

For

The

Also

And

IT
hath
been
resyted
here
before
in
this
hystory
/
howe
the
englisshmen
dyd
in
Galyce
/
&
howe
the
duke
and
the
duchesse
/
and
his
doughter
came
to
the
Porte
of
Portyngale
/
and
there
taryed
a
season
with
kynge
Iohan
of
Portugale
/
and
with
the
yonge
quene
/
doughter
to
the
duke
of
Lancastre
(
as
ye
haue
herde
here
before
)
It
anoyed
greatly
the
duke
/
and
nat
without
a
cause
/
in
that
he
had
done
nothynge
for
his
profyte
all
that
season
in
Castyle
/
but
that
he
hadde
done
was
to
his
great
domage
/
his
men
deed
of
sykenes
of
the
best
of
his
company
/
knyghtes
and
squyers
.
And
suche
conquest
as
he
hadde
made
with
great
payne
and
cost
/
he
sawe
well
it
shulde
besoone
recouered
agayne
by
the
kynge
of
castell
.
And
in
dede
so
it
was
.
for
as
sone
as
he
was
departed
and
entred
in
to
Portugale
/
and
that
the
spanyardes
and
knyghtes
of
Fraunce
/
suche
as
were
taryed
there
with
syr
Olyuer
of
Clesquyn
constable
of
Castyle
/
sawe
that
the
duke
of
Lancastre
was
departed
/
and
that
in
maner
all
his
englysshe
men
were
departed
fro
hym
.
Than
they
sette
forwarde
to
reconquere
agayne
all
that
had
ben
loste
of
the
realme
of
Castyle
/
the
whiche
was
sone
done
/
for
they
of
the
townes
/
castels
/
&
cyties
in
Galyce
/
had
rather
to
haue
ben
vnder
the
obeysaunce
of
the
kynge
of
Castyle
/
than
vnder
the
duke
of
Lancaster
/
without
he
had
been
able
to
haue
kepte
the
felde
/
to
haue
defended
the
countrey
.
For
they
of
Castyle
/
Lombardy
/
and
of
Italy
/
of
vsage
euer
they
saye
(
Lyue
he
that

/
and
he

All
that
euer
the
duke
of
Lancastre
had
wonne
fro
the
feast
of
Easter
to
the
begynnynge
of
Iuly
/
all
was
wonne
agayne
and
refresshed
with
newe
frenchmen
and
men
of
Castyle
/
and
the
englysshmen
that
were
left
there
by
the
duke
in
garysons
(
who
thought
to
haue
taryed
there
peasably
all
the
wynter
)
were
sone

by
fayre
meanes

and
some

suche

/
and
some
returned
by
saueconducte
to
passe
by
Portugale
/
&
so
to
Bayon
or
to
Burdeaux
.
And
of
all
this
the
duke
of
Lancastre
was
well
aduertysed
/
he
beynge
in
the
cytie
of
Porte
in
Portugale
/
but
he
coude
nat
remedy
it
/
whiche
was
ryghtsore

It

(
and
bare

)
If

haue
lost

/
by
the
grace
of

a nother

be

the
fortunes
of

Also

The
duke
of
Lancastre
thanked
the
kynge
of
Portugale
of
his
good
comforte
and
offre
.
Howe
be
it
for
all
that
the
kyng
was
the
dukes
sonne
in
lawe
/
and
had
maryed
his
doughter
/
and
that
he
sayde
was
of
a
good
wyll
.
yet
for
all
that
the
duke
discouered
nat
all
his
corage
/
for
he
knewe
well
Englande
was
in
trouble
/
and
great
debate
a
monge
the
lordes
/
and
howe
the
lordes
hadde
maters
yno
we
to
attende
vnto
/
as
well
for
the
kepynge
of
the
fronters
agaynst
Scotlande
/
as
for
to
treate
with
the
duke
of
Bretaygne
.
And
the
kyng
knewe
well
that
whan
the
duke
came
out
of
Englande
/
there
was
a
do
to
sette
forwarde
his
armye
/
wherfore
he
thought
it
shulde
be
harde
to
get
any
newe
ayde
thence
/
seinge
the
realme
at
so
many
great
charges
all
redy
/
and
also
he
thought
well
that
suche
englysshmen
as
were
retourned
wolde
no
more
come
thyder
agayne
/
but
thought
rather
that
they
shulde
dyscorage
other
to
come
.
the
duke
considered
all
these
maters
in
his
mynde
/
and
whan
he
had
ben
a
season
at
the
cytie
of
Porte
with
the
kynge
of
Portugale
/
than
on
a
daye
he
sayd
.
Syr
/
it
shulde
be
for
my
profyte
to
retourne
to
Bayon
/
and
to
the
marches
of
Burdeaulx
for
dyuerse
reasons
.
He
sawe
well
his
beynge
in
Portugale
coulde
do
him
lytell
aduauntage
/
for
there
he
was
nat
on
his
herytage
that
he
desyred
/
but
he
sayde
his
goynge
in
to
the
archebysshoppriche
of
Burdeaux
and
of
Aulose
/
and
so
to
retourne
by
Bygore
/
and
so
by
the
lande
of
the
lombrisience
/
of
the
countie
of
Foyze
/
and
countie
of
Armynake
/
and
so
by
Garonne
/
Dordone
/
and

in

and
Querchyn
/
Rochelloys
/
Xayntone
/
Cristynge
/
Poictou
/
Auuergne
and
Lymosyn
/
wherin
were
many
garysons
and
castels
holden
of
the
englisshe
parte
/
who
wolde
all
make
warre
for
his
sake
.
Wherfore
he
sayd
it
were
better
for
hym
to
be
amonge
theym
to
counsaile
and
encorage
them
/
than
to
be
in
any
other
place
.
And
also
he
sayde
howe
Portugale
was
farre
of
to
here
any
newes
out
of
Englande
/
and
also
he
knewe
well
that
the
englyssh
men
wolde
be
lothe
to
come
thyder
bycause
of
the
long
voyage
by
see
/
and
also
he
knewe
well
that
shyppes
of
Spaygne
/
of
Galyce
/
and
of
Castyle
were
goynge
and
comynge
on
the
see
in
and
out
to
Flaunders
with
their
marchandyses
/
whiche
was
also
great
daunger
for
encountrynge
of
them
.
All
these
thynges
consydred
/
the
duke
of
Lancastre
prepared
for
his
departynge
/
and
had
shyppes
apoynted
hym
by
the
kynge
/
and
a
patrone
called
Alphons
Bretat
.
Whan
these
galyes
were
redy
and
the
wynde
good
/
the
duke
and
the
duches
and
her
doughter
/
toke
leaue
of
the
kynge
of
Portugale
and
of
the
quene
/
and
so
toke
shyppynge
and
entred
on
the
see
/
abydynge
goddes
pleasure
and
wyndes
.
They
had
wynde
and
wether
at
pleasure
/
so
that
they
aryued
at
Bayon
of
whose
comynge
they
of
the
countrey
were
ioyfull
/
desyringe
sore
to
se
them
.
Whan
the
duke
and
the
duches
and
their
doughter
were
aryued
at
Bayon
.
Tydynges
therof
spredde
abrode
/
and
they
of
Burdeloys
were
ryght
ioyfull
therof
.
Than
sir
Iohan
of
Harpdame
senesshall
of
Burdeaux
/
and
the
senesshall
of
the
landes
came
thyder
to
se
the
duke
/
and
so
dyd
other
gentlemen
of
the
countrey
/
as
the
lorde
of
Mucydente
/
the
lorde
of
Duras
/
the
lorde
of
Rosem
/
the
lorde
of
Landuras
/
the
lorde
Lespare
/
the
lorde
of
Newechasteaur
/
and
other
knyghtes
and
squyers
of
the
countrey
.
Thus
they
came
dayly
/
some
at
one
tyme
some
at
another
/
all
they
offred
hym
their
seruyce
/
as
they
ought
to
do
to
their
lord
.
Thus
the
duke
taryed
at
Bayon
/
and
often
tymes
sente
in
to
Englande
to
the
kynge
his
nephewe
/
and
to
his
other
bretherne
.
But
for
all
his
writynge
he
was
nothynge
comforted
/
nother
with
men
of
armes
nor
archers
/
for
as
the
worlde
wente
than
/
the
dukes
busynesse
was
lytell
taken
hede
vnto
/
nor
lorde
/
knyght
/
nor
squyer
to
make
any
hast
to
auaunce
forwarde
to
the
ayde
of
the
duke
of
Lancastre
.
for
suche
as
had
ben
in
Portugale
made
suche
reporte
through
the
realme
of
Englande
/
that
no
man
had
corage
to
auaunce
thyder
/
but
euery
man
said
.
the
voyage
in
to
Castyle
is
to
farre
of
fro
vs
.
It
is
more
profytable
for
vs
to
haue
warre
with
Fraunce
/
for
that
is
a
good
swete
countrey
and
temperate
/
and
good
lodgynges
and
fayre
swete
ryuers
.
And
in
Castyle
there
is
no
thynge
but
harde
rockes
and
Mountaynes
/
whiche
are
nat
good
to
eate
/
and
an
vntemperate
ayre
/
and
troubled
ryuers
/
and
dyuerse
meates
/
and
stronge
wynes
&
hote
/
and
poore
people
/
rude
/
and
yuell
arayed
/
farre
of
fro
our
maner
.
wherfore
it
were
folly
to
go
thyder
/
for
if
we
entre
in
to
any
great
cytie
or
towne
there
wenynge
to
fynde
maruayles
/
we
shall
fynde
nothynge
but
wyne
/
larde
/
and
empty
cofers
.
This
is
contrarye
to
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
for
there
whan
it
is
fortune
to
wyn
any
towne
or
cytie
/
we
fynde
suche
rychesse
that
we
be
a
basshed
therof
/
and
it
is
good
to
make
warre
where
we
may
haue
profyte
.
let
vs
aduenture
there
/
and
leaue
the
vnhappy
warre
of
Castyle
and
Portugale
/
where
is
no
thynge
but
pouuertye
and
domage
.
Thus
the
englysshe
men
sayde
in
Englande
/
suche
as
had
been
in
Castyle
/
so
that
the
lordes
perceyued
well
howe
that
voyage
was
out
of
the
fauoure
of
the
englysshe
men
.
Also
the
realme
was
in
trouble
/
and
the
iustyce
of
Triuylyen
and
outher
but
newly
done
/
and
the
duke
of
Irelande
departed
out
of
the
Realme
/
and
kynge
Rycharde
came
to
the
guydynge
of
newe
counsayle
/
the
whiche
he
hadde
nat
well
lerned
.
So
by
reason
of
suche
insydentes
the
matters
abode
in
harde
case
for
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
beynge
in
the
cytie
of
Bayon
/
where
he
helde
all
that
season
.
ALl
these
busynesses
as
well
in
Castyle
and
Portugale
/
as
in
Englande
(
and
of
the
departyng
of
the
duke
of
Irelande
)
was
well
knowen
with
the
frenche
kynge
and
his
counsayle
.
Than
to
haue
more
parfyte
knowledge
/
it
was
ordayned
by
the
frenche
kynge
and
by
his
vncles
to
sende
to
Trecte
to
the
duke
of
Irelande
/
where
as
he
was
/
and
to
gyue
hym
a
sure
saueconduct
to
come
into
Fraunce
and
to
tarye
there
as
longe
as
bothe
partyes
were
pleased
.
It
was
behouable
to
sende
for
hym
by
specyall
messangers
/
and
sure
wrytyng
fro
the
kyng
/
or
els
the
duke
of
Irelande
wolde
nat
haue
come
there
/
for
he
knewe
well
that
he
was
out
of
the
loue
and
fauoure
of
the
lorde
Coucy
/
who
was
a
great
baron
in
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
and
was
of
a
great
lynage
.
He
had
no
cause
to
loue
hym
(
as
ye
haue
herde
before
)
for
acordynge
to
the
trouthe
the
duke
had
nat
well
acquyted
hymselfe
to
his
wyfe
/
who
was
doughter
to
the
lorde
Coucy
.
And
certaynly
it
was
the
principall
thing
that
toke
awaye
the
good
renome
of
his
honour
/
bothe
in
Fraunce
and
in
other
places
.
And
in
lykewyse
he
was
blamed
/
defamed
/
and
hated
in
Englande
/
as
well
as
in
Fraunce
.
Whan
the
frenche
kynge
had
concluded
to
sende
for
the
duke
of
Irelande
/
the
lorde
of
Coucy
spake
as
moche
agaynst
it
as
he
myght
/
but
there
were
so
many
reasons
layde
to
hym
(
and
also
bycause
the
kyng
wolde
haue
it
)
that
he
was
contente
to
suffre
it
.
The
frenche
kynge
who
was
but
yong
desyred
greatly
to
se
the
duke
of
Irelande
/
bycause
he
was
reputed
to
be
a
good
knyght
/
and
also
bycause
it
was
sayd
howe
he
was
so
well
beloued
with
the
kynge
of
Englande
.
Thanne
he
was
sente
for
by
a
knyght
and
a
clerke
/
a
notary
of
the
kynges
.
Whan
the
Duke
of
Irelande
herde
fyrste
howe
the
frenche
kynge
had
sente
for
hym
/
he
had
maruayle
therof
/
and
hadde
dyuerse
imagynacyons
for
what
entente
he
shulde
be
sente
for
in
to
Fraunce
/
howe
be
it
fynally
he
thought
the
myght
go
surely
in
to
Fraunce
to
se
the
kynge
by
reason
of
his
saueconducte
/
and
to
returne
agayne
at
his
pleasure
.
Than
he
departed
fro
Trecte
/
and
rode
forthe
with
theym
that
the
kynge
had
sent
to
hym
/
and
rode
so
longe
that
they
came
to
Paris
/
for
as
than
the
kyng
was
there
in
his
castell
of
Lowre
.
There
the
duke
was
well
receyued
of
the
kynge
and
of
his
vncles
.
The
frenche
kynge
desyred
him
to
abyde
there
styll
and
apoynted
hym
a
place
to
kepe
his
house
&
astate
in
/
for
the
duke
had
ynough
so
to
do
/
for
he
had
conueyed
out
of
Englande
good
ynough
.
And
also
the
constable
of
Fraunce
ought
hym
certayne
money
for
the
raunsome
of
Iohan
of
Bretayne
/
the
whiche
was
nat
all
payed
as
than
.
Thus
the
duke
wente
whan
it
pleased
hym
to
se
the
kynge
/
and
hadde
good
chere
.
and
at
all
feastes
/
iustes
/
and
triumphes
the
duke
was
alwayes
sente
for
.

howe
the
erle
de
Stampes
was
sent
in
to
Bretayne
by
the
duke
of
Berrey
/
thynkynge
to
haue
brought
the
duke
of
Bretayne
with
fayre
wordes
to
his
mynde
and
entensyon
/
But
he
coulde
nat
brynge
it
aboute
/
but
retourned
agayne
without
atteynynge
any
thynge
of
his
purpose
.
wherof
they
in
Fraunce
were
greatly
abasshed
/
and
specially
suche
as
were
of
the
kinges
counsayle
/
for
they
knewe
well
the
kyng
had
great
desyre
to
go
in
to
Almayne
/
to
se
the
landes
of
his
cosyns
the
duke

/
and
to
be
reuenged
of
the
hygh
wordes
and
cruell
defyaunces
of
the
duke
of
Guerles
.
The
wyse
men
of
the
counsayle
of
Fraunce
suche
as
conceyued
well
the
mater
imagyned
therin
great
parell
to
the
realme
/
for
they
clerely
perceyued
howe
the
duke
of
Bretayne
wolde
in
no
wyse
condyscende
to
reason
/
but
helde
styll
his
purpose
.
They
thought
it
was
greatly
preiudycyall
to
the
honoure
of
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
for
hym
to
take
the
constable
of
Fraunce
/
and
to
sette
hym
at
raunsome
at
a
hundred
thousande
frankes
/
and
to
kepe
thre
of
his
castelles
and
a
good
towne
.
And
also
they
sawe
howe
the
duke
of
Bretayne
was
makynge
of
great
alyaunces
with
the
kynge
of
Englande
/
and
knewe
well
howe
the
duke
fortifyed
greatly
his
townes
and
castels
in
Bretayne
/
and
went
aboute
to
get
hym
frendes
in
dyuers
partyes
/
in
so
moche
that
many
of
the
noble
menne
of
Bretayne
wyste
nat
what
to
do
/
outher
to
go
in
to
Fraunce
or
to
a
byde
there
styll
with
the
duke
and
to
take
his
parte
agaynst
the
kynge
or
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
the
whiche
they
neuer
thought
to
do
/
for
the
moste
parte
of
the
knyghtes
and
Squyers
of
Bretaygne
were
alwayes
good
frenche
/
But
the
counsayle
of
Fraunce
doubted
that
if
the
kynge
wente
out
of
the
realme
with
his
puyssaunce
/
the
whiche
he
muste
nedes
do
if
he
shulde
goo
in
to
Almaygne
/
that
than
the
duke
of
Bretayne
to

For
the
englysshemen
coulde
nat
haue
a
better
entre
in
to
Fraunce
than
by
Bretayne
.
So
that
they
knewe
nat
(
the
kynges
honour
saued
)
howe
to
breke
the
duke
of
Bretayne
fro
his
purpose
.
Some
of
the
kynges
counsayle
sayde
/
it
shall
be
to
the

dyshonour
if
he
breke
nat
the

purpose
/
for
the
duke
is
nat
lorde
peasably
ouer
his

therfore
in

lette
the

his
voyage
/
and
lette
the
constable
and
other
lordes

defende

This
opynyon
was
well
vpholde
with
many
of
the
kynges
counsayle
.
but
than
some
other
sayde
naye
therto
/
and
sayde
howe
the
kyng
coulde
nat
well
go
out
of
his
realme
without
he
had
his
constable
with
hym
/
for
he
is
more
wyser
and
hathe
more
experyence
in
warre
than
a
great
nombre
of

.
Thus
they
argued
.
Than
some
other
sayd
/
lette
two
of
the
kynges
vncles
go

one
of
them
at

layde
it

syre

sayde

it

for
that

Who
is

in

And
if

it
were

for
whan
they

they
wyll
than
assemble
all

kepe
suche
a
countrey
as
they
knowe
/
and
we
nat
/
and
so
they
maye
do
vs
great
domage

for
they
are
couetous
people
aboue
all
other

And
they
haue
no
pytie

if
they
haue
the
vpper

they

Lette
vs

howe

God

If

And
if

the
realme

is
loste
without

Therfore
loke
wysely
if
it
be
good
to
counsayle
the
kyng
to
go
that
voyage
in
to
Almayne
.
Than
some

In

For

who
wolde

And
sythe

therby
the
kynge
shall
haue

lesse
charge

to
go

Guerles
/
for
suche
as
knowe

that
or
we
can
come
to

we
must
passe
a
foure
great
ryuers
/
the
lyste
of
them
as
great
as
the
ryuer
of
Loyre
at
Namurs
or
Charite
.
Also
they
say
/
it
is
a
fowle
countrey

yuell

.
THe
noble
men
and
counsaylouts
of
Fraunce
were
thus
in
dyuers
imagynacyons
on
this
voyage
/
that
the
kynge
wolde
make
in
to
Almayne
/
and
surely
it
had
ben
auaunsed
the
soner
forwarde
and
they
had
nat
douted
the
venym
that
myght
growe
by
the
occasyon
of
Bretayne
/
and
of
the
duke
there
/
that
mater
drewe
theym
a
backe
.
And
indede
they
had
good
cause
to
doute
it
/
for
the
duke
of
Bretayne
was
well
infourmed
of
the
defyaunce
that
the
duke
of
Guerles
hadde
made
to
the
Frenche
kynge
/
and
howe
that
the
yonge
kinge
Charles
wolde
go
in
to
Almayne
.
The
duke
loked
for
nothyng
els
/
but
that
the
kynge
shulde
be
ones
departed
out
of
his
Realme
of
Fraunce
/
he
hadde
ordeyned
and
concluded
bytwene
hym
and
the
englysshe
men
/
to
suffre
the
englisshe
army
to
entre
in
to
his
countrey
.
And
also
he
had
by
subtyle
meanes
drawen
to
his
acorde
the
moste
parte
of
the
good
townes
of
Bretaygne
/
and
specyally
Nauntes
/
Wennes
/
Rennes
/
Lentriguier
/
Guerrando
/
Lambale
/
saynte
Malo
/
and
saynte
Mathewe
defyn
poterne
/
but
the
noble
men
he
coulde
nat
gette
to
his
opynyon
.
Than
the
duke
imagyned
if
the
lordes
shulde
go
with
the
constable
of
Fraunce
in
to
Almayne
/
thanne
his
warre
and
entente
shulde
the
soner
come
to
passe
.
He
caused
his
townes
and
castels
to
be
well
prouyded
for
/
with
vytayles
and
artyllary
/
and
he
shewed
well
howe
he
inclyned
rather
to
the
warre
than
to
haue
pease
.
Also
he
had
great
alyaunce
with
Charles
they
yonge
kyng
of
Nauerre
/
and
the
duke
promysed
hym
/
that
if
he
might
come
to
his
entent
(
to
haue
puyssaunce
of
men
of
armes
and
archers
out
of
Englande
)
he
wolde
bringe
them
streight
in
to
Normandy
/
and
recouer
fyrst
the
good
townes
and
castels
that
kynge
Charles
of
Fraunce
vncle
to
the
kynge
of
Nauerre
/
had
taken
fro
hym
by
his
men
/
as
the
lorde
of
Coucy
and
outher
.
Of
this
the
kynge
of
Nauer
had
great
trust
/
and
by
reason
therof
he
helde
in
humble
loue
the
duke
of
Lancastre
who
was
at
Bayon
/
for
bytwene
theym
was
great
alyaunces
.
And
of

on
the
ryuer
of
Muse
/
pertaynynge
to
his
herytage
/
and
to
the
countrey
of
Guerles
/
thought
than
to
attrybute
the
towne
of
Graue
to
his
herytage
for
euer
.
this
duke
had
a
bastarde
doughter
/
maryed
to
the
sonne
of
the
lord
Bruke
/
who
was
enherytour
to
the
towne
of
Graue
.
So
there
was
an
amyable
treatye
bytwene
them
/
as
bytwene
the
fader
and
the
sonne
.
and
there
the
lorde
of
Bruke
gaue
the
towne
and
sygnory
of
Graue
to
the
duke
of
Guerles
/
in
presence
of
the
knyghtes
of
Guerles
and
Iuliers
.
and
for
that
cause
the
duke
of
Guerles
dyd
recompence
the
lorde
of
Bruke
with
the
landes
of
Bresde
/
on
the
ryuer
of
Lighen
in
the
duchy
of
Guerles
/
marchyng
on
the
countrey
of
Holande
aboue
Brabaunte
.
At
this
towne
of
Bresde
there
was
a
fayre
castell
/
and
the
towne
great
and
profytable
/
how
be
it
the
towne
of
Graue
was
better
.
This
the
duke
of
Guerles
dyd
to
the
entent
to
haue
a
iuste
tytle
to
kepe
the
towne
of
Graue
agaynst
the
brabansoys
.
The
duches
of
Brabant
and
the
brabansoys
said
/
howe
the
lorde
of
Bruke
had
it
but
to
pledge
/
and
that
they
myght
quyte
it
out
whan
they
wolde
/
but
the
duke
of
Guerles
sayd
nayetherto
.
By
reason
wherof
the
warre
moued
.
So
that
in
the
moneth
of
May
/
the
brabansoys
came
and
layde
syege
to
the
towne
of
Graue
/
with
many
lordes
/
knyghtes
/
and
squyers
/
and
with
the
puyssaunce
of
other
good
townes
in
Brabante
.
And
thyder
they
brought
engyns
/
springals
/
and
other
habylimentes
of
warre
.
They
were
a
.xl.
thousande
one
and
other
/
there
was
skrymysshynge
dayly
.
The
towne
of
Graue
standeth
on
the
ryuer
of
Muese
on
the
syde
of
Brabante
/
and
there
is
a
bridge
ouer
the
ryuer
to
go
in
to
the
countrey
of
Guerles
.
At
this
siege
euery
thynge
was
plenty
/
and
as
good
chepe
of
euery
thynge
/
as
though
they
had
been
before
Brusels
.
Euery
day
there
was
skrymysshynge
at
the
barryers
of
Graue
/
of
suche
as
wolde
aduenture
them selfe
.
Sometyme
they
were
put
a
backe
/
and
some
tyme
they
droue
their
enemyes
in
to
their
towne
/
as
chaunce
of
aduenture
fell
.
The
duke
of
Guerles
was
well
infourmed
of
this
siege
.
He
laye
a
foure
leages
fro
Nymarse
/
and
wrote
often
tymes
in
to
Englande
/
where
he
trusted
to
haue
socoure
by
reason
of
the
englysshe
army
/
wherof
the
erle
of
Arundell
was
capytayne
on
the
see
/
as
sone
as
wynde
and
wether
wyll
serue
them
.
to
come
to
Guerles
to
reyse
the
syege
before
Graue
.
The
duke
of
Guerles
knewe
well
that
the
towne
of
Graue
was
strong
and
well
fortyfyed
/
so
that
he
thought
it
coulde
nat
be
wonne
by
none
assaute
/
but
outher
by
trayson
or
by
treatye
.
He
trusted
theym
of
Gruae
to
be
sure
and
faythfull
to
hym
.
Thus
the
siege
endured
longe
before
Grane
.
And
the
erle
of
Arundels
army
was
on
the
see
/
and
tooke
no
lande
/
but
styll
kepte
on
the
fronters
of
Normandy
/
So
that
the
normans
fro
agaynst
Mounte
saynte
Mychell
/
and
downe
alonge
to
Depe
to
saynt
Valery
and
to
Croty
/
were
nat
well
assured
wherto
they
shuld
take
hede
.
The
portes
and
hauens
of
Normandy
were
refresshed
by
the
frenche
kynge
/
with
good
men
of
armes
and
crose
bowes
/
to
resyste
agaynste
all
parelles
.
And
by
the
marshall
of
Blankewyll
was
sette
in
the
towne
of
Carentyne
/
standyge
on
the
see
(
whiche
before
of
olde
tyme
pertayned
to
the
herytage
of
kynge
Charles
of
Nauerre
)
the
lorde
of
Ambre
and
the
lorde
Coucy
/
two
gret
lordes
of
Normandy
.
And
the
Constable
of
Fraunce
toke
the
towne
of
saynte
Malo
and
the
towne
of
saynte
Mathews
/
and
as
soone
as
they
knewe
that
the
englysshe
men
were
on
the
see
/
they
sette
men
in
to
those
townes
in
the
name
of
the
frenche
kyng
.
In
this
season
they
thought
surely
to
haue
open
warre
with
the
duke
of
Bretayne
/
for
the
knyghtes
and
squyers
sayde
/
that
the
armye
on
the
see
of
the
englysshmen
were
sente
thyder
for
none
other
purpose
/
but
sente
for
by
the
duke
of
Bretayne
to
lande
in
his
countrey
.
They
sayd
it
was
none
other
lykely
/
for
alwayes
the
shyppes
kepte
on
the
coste
of
Bretaygne
/
without
force
of
wethersome
tyme
caused
them
to
departe
.
yet
alwayes
breuely
they
retourned
agayne
to
the
same
coste
.
yE
haue
herde
here
before
/
howe
the
duke
of
Lancastre
was
departed
out
of
the
realmes
of
Castyle
and
Portugale
.
the
imagynacyons
that
he
had
turned
hym
to
great
dyspleasure
/
for
he
sawe
well
his
busynesse
was
sore
troubled
and
darked
/
as
fortune
often
tymes
falleth
in
sondrie
persons
/
somtyme
good
somtyme
yuell
/
whan
it
is
lest
thought
on
.
For
whan
the
duke
of
Lancastre
departed
out
of
the
realme
of
Englande
/
acompanyed
with
good
men
of
armes
and
archers
he
thought
than
to
haue
sped
otherwise
than
he
dyde
.
He
sawe
and
herde
/
howe
that
in
xv
.
dayes
he
had
loste
all
Galyce
/
whiche
was
a
long
season
or
he
had
won
it
/
the
space
of
xvi
.
wekes
.
And
besyde
that
his
men
deed
&
sparcled
abrode
/
some
here
and
some
there
/
and
hoped
of
no
conforte
out
of
Englande
/
for
the
Englysshmen
were
wery
of
the
warre
of
Spaygne
.
They
thought
it
ouer
long
and
farre
of
fro
them
.
So
the
duke
of
Lancastre
thought
his
busynesse
in
a
harde
case
/
seyng
no
comforte
/
he
spake
lytell
but
he
thought
moche
more
.
In
his
ymaginacyon
he
lyconed
his
iourney
to
the
voiage
that
the
duke
of
Aniou
made
in
to
the
realme
of
Naples
:
For
whan
he
departed
out
of
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
he
was
well
furnysshed
of
all
maner
of
thyng
/
and
wente
with
great
richesse
/
puissaunce
/
&
a
great
nombre
of
noble
men
of
armes
knightes
and
s●●uiers
:
&
at
the
ende
all
were
slayne
and
lost
.
Thus
the
duke
of
Lancastre
reckoned
his
v●yage
to
come
to
nothynge
/
by
reason
of
suche
disconforte
as
he
had
.
The
erle
of
Foiz
/
Who
was
in
his
countre
of
Bierne
/
and
was
eight
sage
and
ymaginatyue
/
sayd
and
accompeed
the
duke
of
Lacasters
vyage
but
lost
/
as
inrecoueryng
of
the
realme
of
Castyle
/
whiche
he
chalenged
.
The
duke
of
Lacastre
who
was
a
sage
and
a
wise
prince
/
and
valyaunt
amonge
all
his
disconfytures
/
yet
somtyme
he
toke
conforte
to
hym selfe
.
I
shall
shewe
you
howe
and
by
what
meanes
.
He
sawe
well
he
had
a
fayre
doughter
by
the
lady
Custaunce
his
wyfe
/
doughter
to
done
Peter
kyng
of
Castyle
/
in
whose
right
and
clayme
he
made
his
warre
in
Castyle
.
He
thought
thoughe
fortune
were
agaynst
hym
at
that
tyme
/
yet
it
myght
tourne
good
to
his
doughter
/
who
was
fayre
and
yonge
/
for
she
had
ryght
to
the
heritage
of
Castyle
/
by
reason
of
her
mother
.
and
thought
that
some
valyaunt
man
of
Fraunce
wolde
be
gladde
to
couet
to
haue
her
in
maryage
/
as
well
for
the
right
that
she
hadde
to
the
realme
of
Castyle
/
as
for
her
hyghe
lynage
:
For
it
myght
well
be
sayde
/
that
her
extraction
was
of
the
hyghest
lynage
of
Christendome
.
Wherfore
the
duke
of
Lancastre
wolde
gladly
haue
had
some
treatie
of
mariage
with
some
noble
man
of
Fraunce
.
He
knewe
well
the
Frenche
kyng
had
a
yong
brother
called
the
duke
of
Towrayne
/
who
he
thought
shulde
be
able
to
recouer
his
doughters
ryght
in
Castyle
:
For
he
knewe
well
that
the
puyssaunce
of
Fraunce
helde
in
his
aduersaries
/
in
the
herytage
of
Castile
.
wherfore
he
thought
that
if
they
wolde
take
his
parte
/
they
myght
lightly
putte
his
doughter
in
possessyon
of
the
realme
of
Castyle
/
if
he
myght
marry
her
to
the
Frenche
kynges
brother

rather

also
the
duke
wrote
of
his

to
the

of
Portugale
/
but
he
wrote
no
worde
therof
in
to
England
to
the

nor

for
he
knewe

whan

In

the
mater

WHan
the
duke
of
Berrey
was
come
into
Fraunce
to
the
kyng
and
to
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
his
brother
/
and
to
other
of
his
counsayle
:
As
the
bysshoppe
of
Langers
/
the
bysshoppe
of
Laon
/
the
lorde
of
Coucy
/
and
other
barons
of
Fraunce
/
than
beyng
thereof
the
kynges
secrete
counsayle
.
They
had
many
metynges
to
commune
toguyder
/
as
well
of
the
state
of
Guerles
(
whyder
the
kyng
had
great
affection
to
go
)
as
of
the
duke
of
Bretaygne
/
whom
they
coude
bring
to
no
reason
/
nor
wolde
nat
obey
/
nor
wyste
nat
whom
to
sende
to
hym
that
he
wolde
beleue
/
for
there
hadde
ben
many
valyant
men
and
sage
with
hym
/
but
all
that
aueyled
nothyng
/
for
they
coude
bring
nothyng
to
passe
as
they
desyred
/
wherof
the
kyng
&
his
counsaile
was
sore
troubled
.
For
they
vnderstode
well
that
the
duke
of
Bretaygne
had
all
that
wynter
prouyded
and
fortifyed
his
townes
and
castelles
/
and
shewed
howe
by
lykehode
he
hadde
rather
haue
warre
than
peace
:
and
the
wysest
of
the
counsayle
sayd
.
We
speke
of
goynge
in
to
Almayne
/
but
we
ought
rather
to
speke
of
goynge
in
to
Bretaygne
/
and
to
putte
downe
the
duke
there
/
who
is
so
highe
mynded
that
he
wyll
here
no
reasone
/
and
is
alwayes
agaynst
the
crowne
of
Fraunce
/
and
disdayneth
to
be
obedyent
thervnto
.
we
shal
haue
no
reason
of
hym
without
we
force
him
therto
:
For
and
if
he
be
suffred
he
wyll
be
to
presumptuous
he
feareth
no
man
/
nor
he
loueth
nor
prayseth
no
man
but
hym selfe
/
this
is
a
clere
case
.
If
the
kynge
go
in
to
Almaygne
and
leaue
his
realme
bare
of
men
/
as
he
muste
do
if
he

The

than
wyll
suffre
the
Englisshe
men
to
come
in
to
his

/
&
so
entre
in
to
Fraunce
.
The
apparaunce
herof
is

for
there
is
all

of

Thus

But

These

There
was
shewed
bytwene
them
great
lykelyhode
of
loue
:
and
the
duke
brought
hym
to
his
chambre
/
sportyng
and
talkyng
of
many
ydell
matters
/
as

do
often

haue

sene
toguyder
longe
before

sondrie
pastymes

and
specially
I
knewe
four
lordes
the
best
entertayners
of
all
other
that
euer
I
knewe
/
That
was
the
duke
of
Brabant
/
the
erle
of
Foiz
/
the
erle
of
Sauoy
/
and
in
especiall
the
lorde
of
Coucy
:
For
accordynge
to
myne
aduyse
in
all
goodly
pastymes
he
was
a
souerayne
maister
●
whiche
brute
he
bare
amonge
all
lordes
and
ladyes
/
in
Fraunce
/
in
Englande
/
in
Almaygne
in
Lombardy
/
and
in
all
places
where
as
he
had
ben
conuersant
And
in
his
tyme
he
had
been
sore
traueyled
&
sene
moche
in
the
worlde
:
and
also
he
was
naturally
enclyned
to
be
gentyll
.
&
thus
whyle
these
lordes
were
mery
talkynge
toguyder
/
there
was
brought
spyces
and
wyne
and
so
they
dranke
/
and
than
toke
their
leaues
and
retourned
to
their
lodgynges
.
Thus
the
mater
went
for
the
the
fyrst
day
/
without
makyng
of
any
mencyon
of
any
thyng
that
they
were
come
for
.
NOwe
let
vs
somwhat
speke
of
sir
Helyon
of
Lygnacke
/
whom
the
duke
of
Berrey
hadde
sent
to
the
duke
of
Lancastre
.
The
knyght
came
to
Bayon
and
a
lyghted
at
his
lodgynge
/
and
apparelled
hymselfe
to
go
and
speke

/
who
knewe
well
of

/
and
sent
right
honourably
two
of
his
knyghtes
to
mete
with
hym
/
and
they
brought
hym
to
the
duke
.
And
whan
sir
Helyon
was
in
the
dukes
presens
he
kneled
downe
/
and
saluted
hym
as
it
aperteyned
.
The
duke
receyued
hym
right
honorably
and
tooke
hym
vp
in
his
armes
/
&
toke
hym
by
the
hande
and
ledde
hym
in
to
his
chambre
/
for
he
mette
hym
in
the
hall
.
Thanne
the
knyght
delyuered
his
letters
fro
the
duke
of
Berry
.
The
duke
reed
them
and
thanne
he
drewe
to
sir
Helyon
/
and
the
knight
declared
to
him
the
cause
of
his
commyng
.
Than
the

right
courtesly
and
sayd

howe
the
mater
was
weyghtie
that
he
was

wherfore

Thus
sir
Helyon
taryed
at
Bayon
with
the
duke
of
Lancastre
more
than
a
moneth
/
and
alwayes
he
was
serued
with
fayre
wordes
:
And
the
duke
alwayes
foded
hym
forthe
and
made
semblant
that
he
had
great
affection
to
treate
for
this
mariage
with
the
duke
of
Berrey
/
Howe
be
it
the
trouthe
was
contrary
/
for
all
that
he
shewed
was
but
dissymulacion
.
and
the
cause
that
he
was
helde
there
so
long
with
hym
/
was
for
none
other
thing
/
but
that
the
brute
therof
myght
ronne
abrode
/
and
specially
in
to
the
realme
of
Castyle
/
for
there
lay
all
his
affection
:
The
duke
sayde
to
sir
Helyon
.
Sir
/
if
I
treat
with
the
duke
of
Berrey
to
haue
my
doughter
in
maryage
/
thanne
he
must
ioyne
with
me
with
all
his
puysaunce
to
encounter
myne
aduersaries
of
Spayne
/
If
he
wyll
recouer
the
heritage
of
my
doughter
/
whom
he
shulde
haue
to
wyfe
:
Than
sir
Helyon
sayd
.
Sir
/
I
haue
no
charge
to
confyrme
any
thynge
so
forwarde

But

/
if

all
your
pleasure
by
me
/
and
I
shall
returne

of
Berrey
all
your
entent

And
I
am
sure
(
he

suche
affection
to
the
mater
)
he
wyll
agree
to
euery
thynge
that
he
may
do
by
reason

I
desyre
no

Thus
sir
Helyon
of

taryed
a

There
they
hadde

But

And
the

And

the

This

concluded
at
the
request
of
the
duke
of
Berrey
/
to
the
entent
that
he
myght
sende
in

of
Lancastre
.
For
before
they
of

of
Mortaygne
on

see
/
of
Bonteuyll
/
of
Rouuergue
/
of
Quercyn

they
wolde

wherfore
these

this
truese
/
the

Whan

For

but

and

Moche

the

to
agre
to
go
to
the

of
Bloys

the

of

And
he
sayde

toke

retourned
in
to
Fraunce
/
and
shewed
the
dukes
of
Berry
and

howe

Thervpon
these

made

redy

to
mete
there
with
the

of
Bretaygne

sente
thyder

Firste
thyder
came

was
lodged

Castell
/
and
there
he
founde
the
countesse
/
her
sonne
/
and
her
doughter
.
They
receyued
hym
honourably
.
The
erle
Guye

Bloys

as
than
in

owne
countrey
at
the
castell
Reygnaulte
/
and
made
no
greate
counte
of
the
commynge
of
the
duke
of
Bretaygne
/
he
thought
it
sufficyent
that
his
wife
and
chyldren
were
there
.
Than
thyder
came
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
with
a
goodly
trayne

/
without
goynge
any

/
But
the
entente
of
the
other
two
dukes
was
otherwise
:
for
they
said
whyder
he
wolde
or
nat
/
he
shulde
go

Parys
.
THe
duke
of
Bretaygne
hym selfe

Sauyour

There

and

thanked
the
duke
of
Bretayne
of

And
the

Than

The

sayd

WHan

they

The

IF

it
had
been
greatly
to
their
profyte

for
the

than
was
vnpro●●ded
of
men
of
warr
/
namely
of
suche
as
were
able
to
haue
merre
with

.
True
it
was

the
lord
of
Parteney
/
the
lorde
of
Pons
/
the
lorde
of

/
that

other

of

/
were

in

but
they

for
they

of

If

before
that
the

menne
wolde
haue
ryued
there
/
they
wolde
haue
prouyded
therfore
/
but
they
knewe
it
nat

This
fell
sodaynly
/
wherfore
they
were
the
more
afrayde
and
euery
man
toke
hede
to
kepe
his
owne

&
the
men
of
the
countrey
to
gette
in
their
cornes
/
for
it
was
about
the
begynnynge
of
Auguste
.
Also
there
was
no
heed
Capitaygne
in
the
countrey
to
bringe
menne
toguyder
.
The
duke
of
Berrey
who
was
cheife
soueraygne
of
Poittou
/
was
but
newely
gone
to
Parys
.
The
seneschall
of
Xaynton
was
nat
in
the
countrey
:
And
the
Seneschall
of
Rochell
sir
Helyon
of
Lignacke
was
nat
at
Rochell
/
nor
in
the
countrey
/
He
was
in
great
busynesse
to
ryde
in

out
bytwene
the
duke
of
Berrey
and
the
duke
of
Lancastre

By
these
reasons
the
countrey
was
the
more
feble
/
for
where
there
is
defaulte
of
good
heedes
/
there
must
nedes
be
defaulte
in
the
body
and
in
the
fote
:
And
he
that
hath
no
foote
can
do
nothynge
that
is
worthe
.
Thus
these
lordes
were
in
feare
two
wayes
.
They
had
the
Englysshmen
armed
before
them
that
came
fro
the
see
:
And
on
the
other
syde
they
herde
newes
fro
Berrey

fro
Limosyn
/
that
Perot
le
Bernoys
rode
abrode
with
fyue
or
sixe
hundred
fyghtynge
men
with
hym
/
and
was
entred
in
to
Berrey
.
So
they
wyst
nat
wher
to
they
shulde
take
hede
/
but
euery
manne
to
kepe
his
owne
.
For
the
renome
wente
/
howe
these
two
hoostes
shulde
mete
toguyder
/
outher
in
the
countrey
of
Poictou
or
Xaynton
.
This
was
the
opinyon
of
dyuers
.
TRue
it
was
/
that
in
the
towne
of
Rochell
/
the
same
season
that
the
Englysshe
men
were
landed
at
Marant
there
was
two
valyant
knyghtes
/
the
one
called
sir
Peter

Arundell

the

that
had
ben
so
longe

were

Than
these

were
vnder

to
the

sythe
we
haue
the

the
kepynge

there
is
one
poynte
good
for

they
haue
no
horses

They
are

we
be
well
mounted

We
shall
sende
our

they
shall
wake
them

shote

hurte
them

and
whan
they
haue
done

Than

wyll
issue

there
had

Whan

lodgynges
/
it
was
carely
in

and
their

was
retourned

Than
the
Frenche
crosbowes
began

The

And
whan

the
duchesse

Brabant
was
determyned
to

warre
agaynst
the
duke
of
guerles
/
and
caused
the
siege
to
contynue
before
the
towne
of
Graue
/
with
a
great
puyssaunce
of
knyghtes
and
squyers
/
and
other
men
of
the
good
townes
of
Brabante
:
and
their
entencion
was
nat
to
departe
thens
/
tyll
they
had
the
towne
of
Graue
at
their
wyll
.
And
the
duchesse
to
shewe
that
the
mater
touched
her
nere
the
laye
at
〈◊〉
a
four
leages
thens
.
The
hoost
was
plentifull
of
euery
thynge
.
They
were
often
tymes
refresshed
with
newe
prouisyon
commyng
fro
dyuers
partes
/
aswell
by
see
by
fresshe
water
&
by
the
ryuer
of
Muse
as
by
the
lande
of
Brabant
.
This
siege
long
endured
and
they
had
there
great
ingyns
be
sore
the
towne
to
caste
in
great
stones
/
whiche
dyde
great
domage
.
And
besyde
that
to
enfecte

/
they

to
the
towne
all
deed
careyne
:
and
the
wether
was
hote
/
the
whiche
greatly
anoyed
them
within
.
The
clere
ayre
was
sore
corrupted
with
the
yuell
ayre
.
Somtyme
the
knyghtes
and
squyers
of
Brabant
wolde
come
to
the
barryers
and
scrimysshe
with
them
of
the
towne
/
and
there
were
many
feates
of
armes
done
/
For
there
were
men
in
the
towne
(
sette
there
by
the
duke
of
Guerles
)
that
were
redye
to
shewe
forthe
their
prowes
whan

The
duke
of
Guerles
lay
at
Nimay
&
coude
nat
remedy
the
mater
nor
reyse
the
siege
/
nor
yet
fight
with
his

/
for
he
had
no
puissaunce
therto
/
But
he
hadde

Englande
certifyeng
what
case
he
stode
in
/
trustynge
to
haue
had
socours
fro
thens
/
but
he
had
none
/
For
at
that
tyme
there
was
moche
trouble
in
Englande
.
For
there
was
sette
a
newe
counsayle
about
the

by

of
his

and
th
archbysshop

About

there
was
a

in

to
knowe
if
there
shulde
be
sente
any
ayde
of
men
of
armes
&
archers
to
the
duke
of
Guerles
or
nat
:
But
euery
thyng
consydred
/
they
thought
it
best
naye
.
For
renome
ran
in
Englande
howe
the
Frenche
kyng
made
a
gret
assemble
but
no
manne
knewe
whyther
they
shulde
drawe
.
The
Englysshe
men
by
ymaginacyon
douted
that
they
wolde
come
to
Ca●●●s
:
On
the
othersyde
they
douted
the
scottes
wherfore
they
wolde
nat
sende
their
men
of
armes
and
archers
out
of
the
realme
.
Also
they
knewe
howe
there
were
many
menne
of
warre
on
the
see
wherfore
it
was
conuenyent
to
kepe
their
owne
realme
/
Therfore
the
noble
men
of
Englande
sayd
:
Lette
the
duke
of
Guerles
alone
he
is
ryght
valyant
and
is
in
a
stronge
countre
he
wyll
do
well
ynoughe
agaynst

Also
he
shal
be
conforted

alyed
with
hym
and
his
neyghbours
.
They
haue
bene
with
hym
or
this
agaynst
the
Frenche

.
Thus
the
maters
wente
in
Englande
/
but
they
within
the
towne
of
Graue
endured
the
payne
/
with
sautes

They

And

And

They

they
dyde
so

that
their

was
so
forwarde
/
that
the

The

The

lyenge

infourmed

determyned

For

was

shulde

Shall

suffre

Beholde

counsayle

was
beste
to

Some
were
sore
abasshed
bycause
they
were
but
a
handefull
of
men
to
the
regarde
of
their
enemyes
/
who
were
thurty

Some

thousande

It
lyeth

our
puyssaunce
to
ouercome
them
.
But
it
lyeth
well
in
their
power
soone
to
ouercome

.
Some
knyghtes
came
to
the
duke
/
and
counsayled
him
to
drawe
towardes
Graue
.
Thanne
the
duke
sayde
he
wolde
nat
/
for
in
no
wyse
he
wolde
be
closed
in
any
towne
that
he
hadde
/
but
sayde
surely
he
wolde
go
and
fyght
with
his
enemyes
/
for
his
corage
he
sayd
gaue
hym
to
dyscomfyte
them
.
and
said
as
he
dyd
before
/
that
rather
he
wold
dye
with
honour
/
than
to
lyue
with
shame
.
We
shall
quod
he
this
day
ouercome
our
enemies
/
Wherby
we
shall
haue
greate
profyte
and
honoure
.
Therfore
all
that
loue
me
/
set
forwarde
and
folowe
me
quyckly
.
THe
wordes
that
the
duke
spake
incoraged
all
his
men
/
and
specyally
suche
as
herde
hym
/
and
euery
man
shewed
semblante
to
be
of
great
corage
to
fight
.
euery
man
made
hym
redy
and
lased
on
his
basnet
/
and
gyrte
their
horses
/
and
set
them selfe
in
good
aray
togyther
/
and
rode
forthe
an
easy
passe
to
kepe
their
horses
well
brethed
.
there
were
certayne
newe
knightes
made
.
Thus
they
rod
in
good
araye
towardes
Rauesten
.
By
that
tyme
the
brabansoys
were
ouer
the
ryuer
.
Thanne
tydynges
came
to
the
Seneschall
of
Brabante
/
how
the
duke
of
Guerles
was
in
the
felde
/
and
so
nere
them
that
incontynent
they
shuld
mete
togyder
.
Suche
as
herde
those
tydinges
first
had
meruayle
of
that
aduenture
.
Than
they
beleued
surely
that
for
euery
man
that
the
duke
of
Guerles
had
/
that
he
had
been
syre
.
Than
they
rested
to
sette
them selfe
in
ordre
/
but
they
had
no
leysar
.
For
ther
with
came
on
them
the
duke
of
Guerles
with
his
route
close
togyder
/
as
faste
as
spurres
wolde
dryue
their
horses
/
cryenge
their
cryes
/
our
lady
of
Guerles
/
with
their
speares
in
the
restes
.
There
was
a
squier
of
Guerles
greatly
to
be
praysed
/
for
the
great
desyre
that
he
had
to
exalte
his
renome
.
he
galoped
before
all
the
batayls
/
and
was
the
firste
that
iusted
/
and
entred
in
amonge
his
enemies
.
the
squier
was
called
Arnolde
Morber
.
With
that
course
he
bare
one
to
the
erthe
rudely
/
I
canne
nat
tell
if
euer
he
was
releued
or
nat
/
for
the
prease
was
so
greate
/
that
harde
it
was
/
if
one
were
downe
to
be
releued
agayn
/
without
it
were
by
great
helpe
.
At
this
first
rencountre
there
were
of
the
brabansoys
a
sire
score
borne
to
the
erthe
.
There
were
many
beaten
downe
/
and
small
defence
made
by
the
Brabansoys
/
for
they
were
sodenly
taken
.
and
so
shulde
men
of
warre
do
/
that
thinke
to
do
domage
to
their
enemyes
.
For
the
brabansoys
for
all
that
they
were
so
greate
a
nombre
/
and
so
many
great
men
/
yet
they
were
so
farre
a
sonder
/
and
out
of
araye
/
that
they
coulde
nat
gette
togyther
in
ordre
of
batayle
/
but
their
batayle
was
pearsed
throughe
and
sparkled
a
brode
/
some
here
and
some
there
/
so
that
the
lordes
of
Brabante
coulde
nat
come
to
their
owne
men
/
nor
their
menne
to
theym
.
And
suche
as
were
behynde
/
whanne
they
herde
the
noyse
and
brewte
/
and
sawe
the
dust
and
powder
ryse
/
it
semed
to
them
properly
that
the
voyce
of
the
dyscomfetture
came
on
theym
/
and
howe
all
their
company
were
ouercome
.
So
that
the
feare
therof
caused
them
to
tourne
and
to
flye
towardes
Rauesten
agayne
/
and
some
toke
the
ryuer
at
aduenture
bothe
a
foote
and
a
horsebacke
/
without
serrchyng
of
the
depenesse
/
or
without
hauynge
of
any
guyde
.
And
as
they
fledde
they
thought
euer
their
enemyes
had
been
at
their
backes
.
By
this
dyscomfettynge
of
them selfe
there
were
drowned
and
in
parell
/
moo
than
twelue
hundred
in
the
ryuer
of
Meuse
/
for
they
lepte
in
one
vpon
a nother
lyke
beestes
/
without
ordre
or
reason
And
some
of
the
great
lordes
and
barones
of
Brabante
/
whome
I
wyll
nat
name
/
for
it
shulde
be
blame
to
them
and
to
their
heyres
/
to
be
noted
to
flye
away
so
shame
fully
/
and
to
seke
for
their
sauegarde
nother
the
right
passage
of
the
ryuer
/
nor
yet
the
hygh
way
to
the
towne
of
Rauesten
/
but
rather
other
straunge
wayes
to
flye
fro
their
enemyes
.
In
this
myschyefe
fell
that
daye
the
chyualrye
of
Brabante
/
bytwene
the
towne
of
Graue
and
Rauesten
many
were
slayne
and
taken
/
For
suche
as
came
to
raunsome
yelded
lightly
/
and
the
almayns
were
gladde
to
take
them
/
for
the
profyte
that
they
thought
to
haue
by
theym
.
And
suche
as
retourned
to
the
lodgynges
before
Graue
abasshed
them
that
were
there
lyenge
at
the
syege
/
for
they
came
lyke
men
clene
discomfyted
.
They
came
flyenge
so
faste
that
they
lacked
brethe
/
so
that
they
coulde
skante
speke
any
worde
(
that
they
sayd
/
was
)
Syrs
gette
vs
all
hence
for
we
be
all
dyscomfyted
/
there
is
no
comeforte
.
Whan
they
in
the
hoost
vnderstode
the
trouthe
of
the
mater
/
and
sawe
their
company
in
that
case
/
they
were
than
so
a
basshed
&
afrayed
/
that
they
had
no
leysar
nor
puyssaunce
to
take
their
owne
goodes

nor
to
take
downe
their
tentes
nor
pauylyons

nor
to
trusse
horse
/
carte
/
nor
wagon
/
but
sodaynely
departed
without
byddynge
adewe
/
and
lefte
all
behynde
.
They
were
so
afrayde
that
they
made
no
countenaunce
of
a
bydynge
.
They
toke
with
theym
nother
vytayle
nor
caryage
/
but
suche
as
hadde
horses
lepte
on
them
/
and
fledde
a
waye
towardes
the
dukes
wodde
/
or
els
towardes
Hondan
/
or
to
the
mount
saynte
Geruays
/
or
to
Gertras
/
and
Dordec
.
They
had
none
other
care
but
to
saue
them selfe
fro
their
enemyes
.
And
if
they
within
the
garyson
of
Graue
had
soner
knowen
of
the
dyscomfetture
/
it
had
been
greatly
for
their
profyte
/
and
had
slayne
or
taken
many
of
their
enemyes
in
their
flyenge
/
but
they
knewe
it
nat
tyll
it
was
late
/
howbeit
whan
they
issued
out
they
founde
great
plentye
of
Tentes
and
pauylyons

and
prouysion
of
engyns

gonnes

which
they
brought
in
to
their
towne
at
good
leysar
/
for
there
were
none
to
saye

Thus
brake
vp
the

And
cartes

.
It
was
marueyle
to
consyder
the
great
aparell
that
was
made
for
this
iourney
in
to
Guerles
.
All
this
season
the

was
at
Parys

and
coulde
nat
be
delyuered
by
the
kyng

who
was
most
parte
al
that
season
of
Moustreuell
Faulte

.
But
alwayes
he
had
good
chere
/
and
was
alwayes
serued
with
fayre
wordes
and
curteyse
/
and
the
lordes
wolde
desyre
hym
nat
to
thynke
longe
/
for
shortly
he
shulde
be
delyuered

but
they
shewed
hym
that
the

had
so
moch
a
do
for
his
vyage
in
to
Almayne
/
that
he
coulde
attende
to
nothynge

The
duke
was
fayne
to
suffre
for
he
coulde
do
none
other
seyng
he
was
at
Parys
/
and
he
thought
he
wolde
nat
departe
without

good
wyll
of

.
There
he
laye
at
great
coste
and
charge
.
WHan
the
certayne
was
knowen
of
this
voyage
in
to
Guerles
/
and
tayles
reysed
throughe
the
realme
to
paye
euery

Many
of
the
wyse
men
of
the
realme
as
well
some
of
the

as

/
sayd
/
howe
it
was
a
great
outrage
to
counsayle
the

seke
for
his
enemyes
/
and
that
he
shulde
therby
put
his
realme
in
a
great
aduenture
/
for
the
kynge
was
yonge
/
and
greatly
in
the
fauoure
of
all
his
people
.
Wherfore
it
had
ben
suffycyente
for
hym
to
haue
suffred
one
or
two
of
his
vncles
to
haue
gone
thyder
with
the
constable
of
Fraunce
/
and
a
sixe
or
seuen
thousande
speares
/
and
nat
the
kyng
in
propre
persone
.
The
kynges
vncles
were
of
the
same
oppynyon
/
and
often
tymes
they
counsayled
the
kynge
to
forbeare
his
iourney
him selfe
.
But
whan
so
euer
they
spake
to
hym
therof
he
was
dyspleased
/
and
wolde
saye
.
If
any
of
you
go
without
my
company
/
it
shall
be
agaynst
my
wyll
/
and
besyde
that
ye

Whan
the

herde
the

answere

sawe
the
great
affection
that
the

Than

they
thought

and
Guerles

Fyrste
they
determyned
whiche
way
they
shulde
take
/
for
the
surest
&
way
shortest
(
some
sayd
)
that
the
ryght
way
was
to
go
by
Thyreashe

to
passe

the
fronter
of
Haynalt

and
of
Liage

&
to

Of
this
determynacion
the
kynge
and
his
counsayle
wrote
to
the
duches
of
Brabant
and
to
the
countrey
/
shewnge
them
the
waye
that
the
french
kynge
purposed

It

The

they
wolde
neuer

against
the

/
sayeng
howe
they
shuld

than
if
their

whan
the
duches
parceyued
the
wylles

aswell

she
sawe

to
excuse
the
countrey

that

for
they

coude
be

They

The

In

That

Whan

And

with
such

they
had

They
made
that
nyght
good

for
they
thought
surely
to

for
the
wordes
they
hadde
spoken

but
they
were
nat

For
syr
Henry

The
nexte

the

dyslodged
and
returned

and
so
came
to
a
castell

called
Pouclan

wherof
ser
Haymon
of

who
was

There

for
they
came
thyder

and
vnderstode
that
the

Than
they
ordeyned

and
gaue
a
great
assaute

so
that
by
force
of
armes
they
wan

Than

That

and
made
redy
to

That

The

shuld
dyssoge
without

of
any

and
easly
towardes
Carlyle
.
but
th
erle
Duglas
brake
that
counsayle

and
sayd

in

(
who

Euery
man
acorded
to
his

/
what
for
their
honour
and
for
the
loue
of
hym
.
Also
they
lodged
there
at
their
ease
/
for
there
was
none
that
troubled
theym
/
they
made
many
lodgynges
of
bowes
and
great
herbes
/
and
fortityed
their
campe
sagely
with
the
maresse
that
was
therby
/
and
their
caryages
were
sette
at
the
entre
in

and
had
all
their

within
the
maresse

Than
they
aparelled

the

this
was

NOwe
lette
vs
speke
of
sir
Henry
Percy
and
of
sir
Rafe
his
brother
/
and
shewe
some
what
that
they
dyd
.
They
were
sore
dyspleased
that
th
erle
Duglas
had
wonne
the
penon
of
their
armes
also
it
touched
gretly
their
honours
if
they
dyd
nat
as
syr
Henry
Percy
sayd
he
wolde
.
For
he
had
sayd
to
the
erle
Duglas
that
he
shulde
nat
cary
his
penon
out
of
Englande
/
and
also
he
had
openly
spoken
it
be
fore
all
the
knyghtes
and
squiers
that
were
at
Newcastell
.
The
englysshmen
there
thought
surely
that
th
erle
Duglas
bande
was
but
the
scottes
vangarde
/
and
that
their
hoost
was
lefte
behynde
.
The
knyghtes
of
the
countrey
suche
as
were
well
experte
in
armes
/
spake
agaynst
sir
Henry
Percyes
opinyon

and
sayd
to
hym
.
Syr
/
there
fortuneth
in

often
tymes
many
losses
/
if
the
Erle
Duglas
haue
wonne
your
penon
/
he
bought
it
dere
/
for
he
came
to
the
gate
to
seke
it
/
and
was
well
beaten
/
Another
day
ye
shall
wynne
as
moche
of
hym
or
more
.
Syr
/
we
saye
this
bycause
we
knowe
well
all
the
power
of

is
abrode
in

feldes
/
and
if
we
issue
out
and

they
haue
made
this

yet
it
were
better
to
lese
a
penon
/
than
two
or
thre
hundred
knyghtes
and
squyers
/
and
put
all
our
countrey
in

These
wordes
refrayned
syr
Henry
and
his

for
they
wolde
do
nothynge

Than

¶
Howe
syr

went

IT
was
shewed
to

to

to
the
other
knightes

that
were
there
by
suche
as
had
folowed
the

fro
Newecastell

and
had
well
aduysed
their

who
said
to
sir

and
to
syr
Rafe
.
Syrs
/
we
haue
folowed
the
scottes
priuely
/
and
haue
discouered
all
the
countrey
.
The
scottes
be
at
Pountclan

and
haue
taken
syr
Haymon
Alphell
in
his
owne
castell
/
&
fro
thence
they
be
gone
to
Ottenburge

and
there
they
laye
this
nyght

what
they
wyll
do
to
morowe
we
knowe
nat

They
are
ordayned
to
abyde
there
/
and
sirs
/
surely
their
great
hoost
is
nat
with
them
/
for
in
all
they
passe
nat
there
a
thre
thousande
men
.
Whan
sir
Henry
herde
that
he
was
ioyfull
and
sayd
.
Syrs
let
vs
leape
on
our
horses
/
for
by
the
faythe
Iowe
to
god
and
to
my
lorde
my

/
I
wyll
go
seke
for
my
penon
/
and
dyslodge
theym
this

nyght
.
Knyghtes
and
squiers
that
herde
him
agreed
therto
and
were
ioyous
/
and
euery
man
made
hym
redy
.
The
same
euenynge
the
bysshop
of
Durham
came
thyder
with
a
good
company
/
for
he
herde
at
Durham
howe
the
scottes
were
before
Newcastell
/
and
howe
that
the
lorde
Percies
sonnes
with
other
lordes
and
knightes
shulde
fight
with
the
scottes
.
Therfore
the
bysshoppe
of
Dutham
to
come
to
the
reskewe
had
assembled
vp
all
the
countrey
/
and
so
was
comynge
to
Newcastell
.
But
sir
Henry
Percy
wolde
nat
abyde
his
comynge
/
for
he
had
with
hym
syre
hundred
speares
knightes
and
squiers
/
and
an
eight
thousande
fotemen
/
they
thought
that
sufficyent
nombre
to
fyght
with
the
scottes
/
if
they
were
nat
but
thre
hundred
speares
/
&
thre
thousande
of
other
.
Thus
they
departed
fro
Newcastell
after
dyner
/
and
set
forth
in
good
ordre
/
and
toke
the
same
way
as
the
scottes
had
gone
and
rode
to
Ottebourge
a
seuen
lytell
leages
fro
thence
/
and
fayre
way
/
but
they
coulde
nat
ryde
faste
bycause
of
their
fotemen
.
And
whan
the
scottes
had
supped
and
some
layde
downe
to
their
rest
/
and
were
wery
of
trauaylynge
and
sautynge
of
the
castell
all
that
day
/
and
thought
to
ryse
erly
in
the
mornyng
in
cole
of
the
day
to
gyue
a
newe
assaute
.
Therwith
sodenly
the
englysshmen
came
on
them
and
entred
in
to
the
lodginges
/
wenyng
it
had
ben
the
maisters
lodgynges
/
and
therin
were
but
varlettes
and
seruauntes
.
Than
the
englysshmen
cryed
Percy
Percy
/
and
entred
into
the
lodgynges
.
and
ye
knowe
well
where
suche
affray
is
/
noyse
is
sone
reysed
.
and
it
fortuned
well
for
the
scottes
/
for
whan
they
sawe
the
englysshmen
came
to
wake
them
/
than
the
lordes
sente
a
certayne
of
their
seruauntes
of
fotemen
/
to
skrymysshe
with
the
englysshmen
at
the
entre
of
the
lodgynges
/
and
in
the
meane
tyme
they
armed
and
aparelled
them
/
euery
man
vnder
his
baner
&
vnder
his
capytaynes
penon
.
The
night
was
farre
on
/
but
the
mone
shone
so
bryght
as
and
it
had
ben
in
a
maner
daye
/
it
was
in
the
moneth
of
August
and
the
wether
fayre
and
temperate
.
THus
the
scottes
were
drawen
to
gyder
and
without
any
noyse
departed
fro
their
lodgynges
&
went
aboute
a
lytell
mountayne
/
whiche
was
greatly
for
their
aduauntage
/
for
all
the
day
before
they
had
well
aduysed
the
place
/
and
sayd
amonge
them selfe
.
If
the
englysshemen
come
on
vs
sodaynly
/
than
we
wyll
do
thus
&
thus
/
for
it
is
a
ioperdous
thyng
in
the
nyght
/
if
men
of
warre
entre
into

if
they
do
than
we
wyll
drawe
to

in

there

hardynes
rayned

of

for

squiers
were
so
ioyned
to
gyder
at
hande
strokes
/
that
archers
had
no
place
of
nother
party
.
There
the
scottes
shewed
great
hardynesse
/
and
feught
meryly
/
with
great
desyre
of
honour
.
the
englysshmen
were
thre
to

/
howe
be
it
I
say
nat
but
englysshmen
dyd
nobly
acquyte
them selfe
for
euer
the
englysshmen
had
rather
ben
slayne
or
taken
in
the
place
/
than
to
flye
.
Thus
as
I
haue
sayd
the
baners
of
Duglas
and
Percy
and
their
men
/
were
met
eche
against
other
/
enuyous
who
shulde
wynne
the
honoure
of
that
iourney
.
At
the
begynnynge
the
englysshemen
were
so
stronge
/
that
they
●eculed
backe
their
enemyes
.
Than
the
Erle
Duglas
who
was
of
great
harte
and
hygh
of
enterprise
/
seynge
his
men
recule
backe
/
than
to
recouer
the
place
and
to
shewe
knightly
valure
/
he
toke
his
are
in
bothe
his
handes
and
entred
so
in
to
the
prease
/
that
he
made
hym selfe
waye
/
in
suche
wyse
/
that
none
durste
aproche
nere
hym
/
and
he
was
so
well
armed
that
he
bare
well
of
suche
strokes
as
he
receyued
.
thus
he
wente
euer
forwarde
lyke
a
hardy
Hector
/
wyllynge
alone
to
conquere
the
felde
/
and
to
dyscomfyte
his
enemyes
.
But
at
laste
he
was
encountred
with
thre
speares
all
at
ones
/
the
one
strake
hym
on
the
shulder
/
the
other
on
the
breste
/
and
the
stroke
glented
downe
to
his
bely
/
and
the
thyrde
strake
hym
in
the
thye
/
and
sore
hurte
with
all
thre
strokes
/
so
that
he
was
borne
perforce
to
the
erthe
/
and
after
that
he
coulde
nat
be
agayne
releued
.
Some
of
his
knyghtes
and
squyers
folowed
hym
/
but
nat
all
/
for
it
was
nyght
and
no
lyght
/
but
by
the
shynynge
of
the
mone
.
the
englisshmen
knewe
well
they
had
borne
one
downe
to
the
erth
/
but
they
wyst
nat
who
it
was
/
for
if
they
had
knowen
that
it
had
ben
the
erle
Duglas
/
they
had
been
therof
so
ioyfull
and
so
prowde
/
that
the
vyctory
had
been
theirs
.
Nor
also
the
scottes
knew
nat
of
that
aduenture
tyll
the
ende
of
the
batayle
/
for
if
they
had
knowen
it
/
they
shulde
haue
been
so
sore
dyspayred
and
dyscoraged
/
that
they
wolde
haue
fledde
awaye
.
Thus
as
the
erle
Duglas
was
felled
to
the
erth
he
was
striken
in
to
the
heed
with
an
axe
/
and
another
stroke
throughe
the
thye

The
englysshe
men
passed
for

tooke
no

they
thought
none

greatly
auayled

whan

For

they
reeuled

that
after
that
they
coude
no

And

Wherto
should
I
write
longe
proces
/
this
was
a
sore
batayle
and
well
foughten
?
And
as
fortune
is
alwayes
chaungeable
/
though
the
englisshmen
were
more
in
nombre
than
the
scottes
/
and
were
ryght
valyaunt
men
of
warre
/
and
well
experte
/
and
that
at
the
fyrste
fronte
they
reculed
backe
the
scottes
/
yet
fynally
the
scottes
optaygned
the
place
and
vyctory
/
and
all
the
foresaid
englysshmen
taken
and
a
hundred
mo
/
sauynge
sir
Mathewe
Rodman
capytayne
of
Berwyke
/
who
whan
he
knewe
no

recoueraunce
/
and
sawe
his
company
flye
fro
the
scottes
/
and
yelded
theym
on
euery
syde
/
than
he
toke
his
horse
and
departed
to
saue
hym selfe
.
The
same
season
aboute
the
ende
of
this
dyscomfyture
/
there
was
an
englysshe
squyer
called
Thomas
Veleton
/
a
goodly
and
a
valyant
man
/
and
that
was
well
sene
/
for
of
all
that
nyght
he
wolde
nother
flye
nor
yet
yelde
hym
.
It
was
sayd
he
had
made
a
vowe
at
a
feest
in
Englande
/
that
the
first
tyme
that
euer
he
sawe
englisshe
men
&
scottes
in
batayle
/
he
wolde
/
so
do
his
deuoyre
to
his
power
in
suche
wyse
/
that
eyther
he
wolde
be
reputed
for
the
best
doer
on
bothe
sydes
/
or
els
to
dye
in
the
payne
/
he
was
called
a
valyaunt
and
a
hardy
man
/
and
dyd
so
moche
by
his
prowes
that
vnder
the
baner
of
the
erle
of
Morette
he
dyd
suche
valyauntnesse
in
armes
/
that
the
scottes
hadde
maruayle
therof
/
and
so
was
slayne
in
fyghtynge
.
The
scottes
wolde
gladly
haue
taken
hym
alyue
but
he
wolde
neuer
yelde
/
he
hoped
euer
to
haue
been
rescewed
.
And
with
him
there
was
a
scottysshe
squier
slayne
/
cosyn
to
the
kynge
of
scottes
/
called
Symon
Glaudyn
.
His
dethe
was
greatly
complayned
of
the
scottes
.
This
batayle
was
fierse
and
cruell
tyll
it
came
to
the
ende
of
the
discomfyture
/
but
whan
the
scottes
sawe
the
englysshmen
recule
and
yelde
themselve
/
than
the
scottes
were
curtes
/
and
sette
theym
to
their
raunsome
/
and
euery
manne
sayde
to
his
prysoner
.
Syrs
/
go
and
vnarme
you
and
take
youre
case
/
I
am
your
mayster
/
and
so
made
their
prisoners
as
good
chere
as
though
they
had
ben
brethren
/
without
doyng
to
them
any
dommage
.
The
chas●●ndured
a
fyue
englysshe
myles
/
and
if
the
scottes
had
been
men
ynowe
there
had
none
scaped
/
but
outher
they
had
ben
taken
or
slayne
:
And
if
Archambault
Duglas
and
the
erle
of
Fen
/
the
erle
Surlant
and
other
of
the
great
company
(
who
were
gone
towardes
Carlyle
)
had
ben
there
/
by
all
lykelyhode
they
had
taken
the
bysshoppe
of
Durham
/
and
the
towne
of
Newcastell
vpon
tyme
.
I
shall
shewe
you
howe
.
The
same
euenyng
that
the
Percyes
departed
fro
Newcastell
(
as
ye
haue
herde
before
)
the
bysshop
of
Durham
with
the
rerebande
came
to
Newcastell
&
supped
.
And
as
he
satte
at
the
table
he
had
ymagmacion
in
hym selfe
/
howe
he
dyd
nat
acquite
hym selfe
well
to
se
the
Englysshe
men
in
the
felde
/
and
he
to
be
within
the
towne
.
Incontynent
he
caused
the
table
to
be
taken
away
/
and
commaunded
to
sadell
his
horses
/
and
to
sowne
the
trumpettes
/
&
called
vp
men
in
the
towne
to
arme
them selfe
and
to
mount
on
their
horses
/
and
foote
men
to
order
them selfe
to
departe
.
And
thus
euery
man
departed
out
of
the
towne
/
to
the
nombre
of
seuyn
thousande
:
two
thousande
on
horsebacke
and
Fyue
thousande
a
fote
.
They
toke
their
waye
towarde
Ottenbourg
where
as
the
batayle
had
ben
/
and
by
that
tyme
they
hadde
gone
two
myle
from
Newcastell
/
tidynges
came
to
theym
/
howe
their
men
were
fightynge
with
the
scottes
.
Ther
with
the
bysshoppe
rested
there
/
and
incontynent
came
mo
flyeng
faste
/
that
they
were
out
of
brethe
.
Than
they
were
demaunded
howe
the
mater
wente
:
they
aunswered
and
sayde
.
Right
yuell
.
We
be
all
disconfyted
.
Here
cometh
the
scottes
chasynge
of
vs
.
These
tidynges
troubled
the
Englysshmen
and
began
to
doute
.
And
agayne
the
thirde
tyme
men
came
flyeng
as
fast
as
they
might
.
Whanne
the
men
of
the
bysshoprike
of
Durham
herde
of
these
yuell
tidynges
they
were
abasshed
/
in
suche
wise
/
that
they
brake
their
array
/
so
that
the
bysshoppe
coude
nat
holde
togyder
the
nombre
of
fyue
hundred
.
It
was
thought
that
if
the
scottes
had
folowed
them
in
any
nombre
:
seyng
that
it
was
night
that
in
th
entryng
in
to
the
towne
/
&
the
Englissh
men
so
abasshed
/
the
towne
had
ben
won
.
The
bysshope
of
Durham
beyng
in
the
felde
had
good
wyll
to
haue
socoured
the
englysshmen
/
&
recomforted
his
men
asmoche
as
he
coude
/
but
he
sawe
his
owne
men
flye
as
well
as
other
.
Than
he
demaunded
cousaile
of
sir
Wyllyam
Lussey
and
of
sir
Thomas
Clyfforde
and
of
other
knyghtes
/
what
was
was
best
to
do
.
These
knyghtes
for
their
honoure
wolde
gyue
hym
no
counsayle
/
For
they
thought
to
retourne
agayne
and
do
nothyng
/
shulde
sowne
greatly
to
their
blame
/
and
to
go
for
the
myght
be
to
their
great
dommage
/
and
so
stode
styll
&
wolde
gyue
none
answere
.
and
the
lengar
they
stode
the
fewer
they
were
/
for
some
styll
stale
awaye
.
Than
the
bysshoppe
sayd
.
Sirs
/
all
thynges
considred
/
it
is
none
honour
to
putte
all
in
parell
/
nor
to
make
of
one
yuell
dommage
twayne
.
We
here
howe
our
company
be
disconfyted
/
&
we
can
nat
remedy
it
:
For
to
go
to
recouer
them
/
we
knowe
nat
with
whom
nor
with
what
nombre
we
shall
mete
.
Lette
vs
retourne
fayre
and
easely
for
this
night
to
Newcastell
and
to
more
we
lette
vs
drawe
toguyder
and
go

on
our

.
Euery
man
answered
/
as
god
wyll
so
be
it
.
Therwith
they
retourned
to
Newcastell
.
Thus
a
man
maye
consyder
the
great
defaute
that
is
in
men
/
that
be
abasshed
and
disconfyted
.
For
if
they
had
kepte
them
togyder
/
and
haue
turned
agayn
suche
as
fledde
/
they
had
disconfyted
the
scottes
.
This
was
the
opynion
of
dyuers
.
And
bycause
they
dyde
nat
thus
/
the
scottes
had
the
vyctorie
.

Thus
these

dyned
toguyder
in

Whan
the

were
enformed
howe
the

outher

All
thynges
consydred

they
concluded
to

/
For
they
sayd
they
coude
nat
be

a

They

&
they
coulde
nat
cary

And
also

hurte

and
also
some
of
their

whome
they
thought
they

Thus
they
drewe
toguyder

and
ordred
so

that
ther
was
no
entre
but
one
waye
/
and
they
sette
all

And
made
them
to
promise
howe
that
rescue
or
no

they
shulde

after
that
they
made
all
their
mynstrels
to
blowe

made
the

reuell
of

Lightlye
it

thus

Whan

rode
all

yet
lay
that
night

none
denyed

The
nexte
daye
they
dislodged
early
in
the
mornyng
/
and
so
came
that
daye
to
Nimay
/
It
is
an

monkes
on

There

layde

as
than
any
mo
Erles
of
Duglas
/
to
whome
the
lande
retourned
or
nat
/
I
can
nat
tell
.
For
I
sir
Iohn
Froissart
auctour
of
this
boke
was
in
Scotlande
in
the
erles
castell
of
Alquest
/
lyueng
erle
Wyllm
/
at
whiche
tyme
he
had
two
chyldren
/
a
sonne
and
a
dought
:
but
after
there
were
many
of
the
duglasses
/
for
I
haue
sene
a.v.
bretherne
all
squiers
bearyng
the
name
of
Duglas
/
in
the
kyng
of
Scotlandes
house
Dauid
.
they
were
sonnes
to
a
knight
in
Scotlande
called
sir
Iames
Duglas
.
&
they
bare
in
their
armes
golde
/
thre
oreyls
goules
/
but
as
for
the
herytage
I
knowe
nat
who
had
it
.
As
for
sir
Archambalt
Duglas
of
whom
I
haue
spoken
before
in
this
hysto●ie
in
dyuers
places
/
who
was
a
valyant
knight
/
&
gretly
redouted
of
the
englysshmen
/
he
was
but
a
bastarde
.
Whan
these
scottes
hadde
ben
at
Nymaye
abbey
/
and
done
there
all
that
they
came
thyder
for
.
Than
they
departed
eche
fro
other
and
wente
in
to
their
owne
countreis
/
and
suche
as
hadde
prisoners
some
ledde
them
awaye
with
them
/
and
some
were
rausomed
and
suffred
to
returne
.
Thus
the
Englysshe
men
founde
the
scottes
right
curtesse
and
gentyll
/
in
their
delyueraunce
and
raunsome
/
so
that
they
were
well
contente
.
This
was
shewed
me
in
the
countrey
of
Bierne
in
the
erle
of
Foiz
house
/
by
a
knyght
named
Iohan
of
Newcastell
/
who
was
taken
prisoner
at
the
same
iourney
/
vnder
the
baner
of
the
erle
of
Mare
and
Donbare
/
and
he
greatly
praysed
the
sayd
erle
/
for
he
suffred
hym
to
passe
in
maner
/
as
he
desyred
hym selfe
.
Thus
these
men
of
warre
of
Scotlande
departed
and
raunsomed
their
prisoners
/
as
soone
as
they
myght
ryght
curttesly
/
and
so
retourned
lytell
and
lytell
in
to
their
owne
countreis
.
And
it
was
shewed
me
/
and
I
beleue
it
well
/
that
the
scottes
had
by
reason
of
that
iourney
/
two
hundred
thousande
frankes
for
raunsomyng
of
prisoners
.
For
sythe
the
batayle
that
was
before
Streuelyne
in
Scotlande

where
as
sir
Robert
of
Breuce
/
sir
Wyllyam
Duglas
/
sir
Robert
Versey
/
sir
Symon
Freseyle
/
and
other
scottes
chased
the
Englysshmen
thre
dayes
/
they
neuer
had
iourney
so
ꝓfytable
nor
so
honorable
for
them
/
as
this
was
.
Whan
tidynges
came
to
the
other
company
of
the
scottes
that
were
besyde
Carlyle
/
howe
their
company
had
distressed
the
Englysshe
men
besyde
Octeburgh
/
they
were
greatly
reioysed
/
&
displeased
in
their
myndes
/
that
they
had
nat
ben
there
.
Than
they
determyned
to
dislodge
and
to
drawe
in
to
their
owne
countreys
/
seynge
their
other
company
were
withdrawen
.
thus
they
dislodged
and
entred
in
to
Scotlande
.
¶
Nowe
lette
vs
leaue
to
speke
of
the
scottes
and
of
the
Englysshe
men
for
this
tyme
/
and
lette
vs
retourne
to
the
yonge
Charles
of
Fraunce
/
who
with
a
great
people
wente
in
to
Almaygne
to
bringe
the
duke
of
Guerles
to
reason
.
WHan
the
Frenche
kynge
and
all
his
armye
were
paste
the
ryuer
of
Muese
at
the
bridge
of
Morsay
/
they
tooke
the
waye
of
Ardayn
and
of
Lusenbourgh
/
and
alwayes
the
pyoners
were
before
beatynge
woodes
and
busshes
/
&
makynge
the
wayes
playne
.
The
duke
of
Iulyers
and
his
countrey
greatly
douted
the
comyng
of
the
Frenche
kynge
:
For
they
knewe
well
they
shulde
haue
the
fyrst
assault
and
beare
the
fyrst
burdone
/
and
the
lande
of
Iulyers
is
a
playne
countrey
.
In
one
day
the
men
of
warre
shuld
do
moche
dommage
there
/
and
distroye
&
wast
all
/
excepte
the
castelles
and
good
townes
.
Thus
the
Frenche
kyng
entred
in
to
the
countrey
of
Lusenbourgh
/
and
came
to
an
abbey
where
as
Vyncelant
somtyme
duke
of
Brabant
was
buryed
/
there
the
kyng
taryed
two
dayes
.
Than
he
departed
and
toke
the
waye
throughe
Basconque
/
and
lodged
within
a
leage
where
as
the
duches
of
Brabant
laye
/
S●e
sent
worde
of
her
beyng
there
to
the
duke
of
Burgoyn
/
and
he
brought
her
in
to
the
felde
to
speke
with
the
kynge
/
who
receyued
her
right
honourably
/
and
there
communed
togyder
.
Than
the
duches
retourned
to
Basconque
/
and
thyder
she
was
conueyed
with
sir
Iohn
of
Vyen
and
sir
Guy
of
Tremoile
.
And
the
next
daye
the
kyng
went
forwarde
/
aprochyng
to
the
lande
of
his
enemyes
/
and
came
to
them
cryng
in
to
Almayne
/
on
the
fronters
of
the
duchy
of
Iulyers
.
but
or
he
came
so
far
forwarde
/
Arnolde
bisshop
of
Liege
had
been
with
the
kyng
and
had
greatly
entreated
for
the
duke
of
Iuliers
/
that
the
kyng
shulde
nat
be
miscontent
with
hym
/
though
he
were
father
to
the
duke
of
Guerles
/
for
he
excused
hym
of
the
deflaunce
that
his
sonne
had
made
affyrmyng
/
how
it
was
nat
by
his
knowlege
nor

Wherfore

The

had
great
dout
of

sent
for
the

Whan
the
Frenche
men
aproched
the
fronters

Almayne

than
they
rode
toguyder
in
good
order

lodged
wisely

for
there
were
a

hundred

And
they

noted
to
be

And
they
alwayes
pursued

the

to
fynde

The
Frenche
men
douted
the

durst
neuer
go
●
forragyng

in

companyes

And
as
I
vnderstode
sir
Boucequant
the

This
made
the
Frenche
men
wyse

ware

Thus
whan
the
Frenche

was
come
so
forwarde

These
two
entreated

poynt
/
that
his

by

of

These
two
prelates
dyde
so
moche

that
they
brought
the
duke

presence

&
the

Lorayne

Fraunce
of

royall

And
whan
he
was
before
the
kyng
he
kneled
downe
/
and
wisely
excused
him
of
the
defyaunce
that
his

had
made
/
and
sayd
howe
his

was
a
foole
/
and
that
he
had
neuer
counsayle

it
semed

To

To
these
wordes
there
was
no

but
all
consented
by

Than
the
bysshoppes
of

were
called

who
had

entreatours

what
thynges
the

Fyrst
/
that
he
shulde

specially
by

out

.
And
if
he
wolde
nat
thus
do
/
but
abyde
styll
in
his
opynyon
(
through
feble
wytte
and
counsayle
)
than
the
duke

seale

warre
agaynst
the
duke
of
Guerles
/
and
there
to
be
well
entreated
and
receyued
.
THese
two
prelates
were
called
to
the
kinges
counsayle
/
to
the
entente
that
they
shulde
shewe
to
the

of
Iulyers
these
artycles

and
so
they

.
And
than
the
duke
sawe
well
howe
that
it
behoued
hym
to
agree

nor
exyled
/
and
he
was
contente
that
his

shulde
vytayle
the
armye
.
Thus
the
duke
of
Iulyers
became
the
frenche
kynges
man
/
and
made
relyefe
for
his
lande
of
Vierson
/
beyng

Fyrste

THus
the
duke
of
Iulyers
was
in

pease
by
the
foresayd
meanes
/
and
the
kynge
and
his

were
lodged
in
his

/
the
whiche
was
pleasaunt
and
plentyfull
of
all
vytayles
.
Than
the
duke
of
Iulyers
wente
towardes
the
duke
of
Guerles
his
sonne
/
But
or
he
came
there
/
there
was
dyuers
feates
of

/
for
the
almayns
who
be
couetouse

oftentymes
by

or
by

wolde
ieoparde
them selfe
and
sette

the
frenche
mens
lodgynges
to
kepe
them
wakynge
/
and
somtyme
they
wanne
and
some
tyme
they
lost
.
But
for
one
almayne
that
was
taken
/
there
were
euer
four
frenchmen
taken
.
And
on
a
daye
the
constable
of
Fraunce
and
the
lorde
Coucy
/
the
duke
of
Lorayne
/
the
marshall
of

/
sir

syr
Iohan

/
&
a

thousande
men
of

came
before
a
towne
in
Guerles
called
Renconge

&
shewed
them selfe
before

The

tyme
the

of
Guerles
was
within
the
towne

and
praysed
moche

but
he
made
none
issue
out
/
for
he
had
nat
men
ynowe
wherof
he
was
ryght
sore
dyspleased
.
Thus
the
frenche
men
were
there
in
good
ordre
of
batayle
the
space
of
four
houres
/
and
whan
they
sawe
that
none
wolde

they

The

They
were
in

aboute
a
hundred
speares
.
But
whan
the
mornynge
came
all
their
purpose
was
broken
/
for
there
was
a
squyer
of
Auuergne
called
Godinos
a
valyaunt
man
of
armes
/
he
pertayned
to
the

whan
he
sawe
that
they
had
refused

wolde

/
he
was
sore
dyspleased
/
and
brake
his
mynde
to
a nother
sorte
of
companyons
/
so
that
they
were
to
the
nombre
of
thyrty
speares
.
They
tode
forthe
togyther
/
and
rode
all
that
mornynge
and
coulde
fynde
none
adventure
.
And
whan
Godynos
sawe
that
they
shulde
retourne
without
doynge
of
any
feate
/
he
was
sore
dyspleased
/
and
sayde
to
his
company
.
Syrs
/
ryde
on
fayre
and
easely
/
and
I
with

They
agreed
to
hym
.
Thus
he
and
his

rode
forthe
costynge
the
wode
.
Whan
he
had
rydden
a
lytell
waye
/
he
herde
one

/
and
strake
his
horse
with
the

/
and
came
to
the
syde
of
the
wode
/
and
there
he
founde
an

guetloys
cuttynge

Than
Godynos
toke
his

and
came
ry●nynge
at
this
man

wherof
the
man
was
sore
abasshed

Than
Godynos
made
sygne
to
hym
that
he
shulde
go

and
thought
that

companyons
yet
shulde

and
thought
the

and
so
Godynos
rode
on
before
on
a
lowe
hackeney
/
and
the
almayne
folowed
hym
a
foote
with
a

wherwith
he
had
wrought
in

Godinos
page
lepte
on
his

courser
and
bare
his
bassenette

folowed

And
the
almayn
who
knewe

they
wolde

thought
to

and
came
fayre

easely
to
Godynos
/
and
lyfte
vp
his

the

therof
tyll
he
sawe

Than
the
vyllayne
fledde

saued
hymselfe
.
This
aduenture
fell
to
Godinos
/
wherwith
suche
as
knewe
hym
were
sore
dyspleased
/
and
specyally
they
of

for
he
was
the
man
of

that
was
moste
doughted
of

If

To

I

contente
thus
to

/
in
this
there
in
no
dyshonour
nor
blame
to

/
as
I
thynke
.
THus
on
this
poynte
departed
the
duke
of
Iulyers
from
his
sonne
the
duke
of
Guerles
/
and
with
him
the
archebysshoppe
of
Coloygne
/
and
so
they
returned
in
to
Iulyers
and
came
to
Endesker
.
And
whan
tyme
was
they
wente
to
the
frenche
kynge
/
and
shewed
him
all
the
poyntes
and
artycles
before
rehersed
/
and
sayd
.
Syr
/
loke
what
ye
wyll
do
with
the
duke
of
guerles
/
for
other
than
this
ye
shall
nat
haue
of
hym
.
The
frenche
kynge
greatly
desyred
to
se
the
duke
of
Guerles
his
cosyn
/
by
cause
he
had
put
hym
to
somoche
payne
/
wherfore
the
soner
he
enclyned
to
this
treatye
.
And
the
duke
of
Burgoyn
who
wolde
also
that
the
duches
of
Brabant
and
her
countrey
shulde
a
byde
in
rest
and
peace
/
he
toke
payne
to
bringe
this
creatie
to
effecte
/
and
that
the
duke
of
Guerles
myght
come
to
speke
with
the
kynge
.
And
also
there
was
one
thynge
that
made
them
the
soner
agre
/
wynter
aproched
and
the
nyghtes
began
to
be
longe
and
colde
/
and
also
the
lordes
of
Fraunce
were
enfourmed
that
Guerles
was
no
countrey
to
rest
in
/
in
the
tyme
of
wynter
.
and
also
dayly
they
had
reporte
howe
they
loste
of
their
men
/
bothe
knyghtes
and
squyers
by
the
synsars
almayns
/
who
dayly
lay
in
wayte
for
them
.
So
many
reasons
and
consyderacyons
were
layde
and
alledged
that
they
fell
to
acorde
/
and
the
duke
of
Guerles
aproched
and
the
duke
of
Iulyers
his
father
/
&
the
duke
of
Lorayne
and
the
bysshop
of
Coloigne
brought
hym
in
to
the
kynges
tente
/
where
there
was
with
the
kynge
his
thre
vncles
/
and
his
brother
the
duke
of
Tourayne
&
the
duke
of
Bare
/
the
erle
of
Marche
/
the
erle
of
saynte
Pole
/
the
erle
dolphyn
of
Auuergne
/
the
lorde
Coucy
/
and
the
constable
of
Fraunce
.
There
the
duke
of
Guerles
kneled
downe
before
the
kynge
/
and
as
it
was
infourmed
me
/
the
kyng
toke
hym
vp
/
and
there
valyauntly
and
wysely
he
exscused
hym selfe
of
the
defyaunce
that
he
had
made
to
the
kynge
.
And
moreouer
he
sware
/
that
if
euer
he
wolde
defye
the
kynge
or
make
warre
to
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
that
he
wolde
gyue
the
kynge
knowlege
therof
a
yere
before
/
and
the
countreys
of
Guerles
and
Brabante
to
be
styll
in
the
same
case
/
as
they
be
in
at
that
same
present
tyme
.
Thus
the
mater
concluded
bytwene
them
.
and
the
duke
of
Guerles
supped
with
the
kynge
the
same
nyghte
at
his
table
/
he
was
greatly
regarded
/
bycause
he
had
put
the
kynge
to
so
moche
payne
and
coste
.
This
treatie
and
conclusyon
was
put
in
writynge
and
sealed
/
and
whan
all
was
done
the
lordes
toke
leaue
to
departe
.
but
or
they
departed
the
duke
of
Guerles
demaunded
of
the
kynge
/
that
all
suche
prisoners
as
the
Frenche
men
had
taken
in
that
warre
/
that
he
myght
haue
them
delyuered
franke
and
free
.
He
had
his
desyre
/
they
were
delyuered
.
Thanne
the
kynge
demaunded
of
the
duke
/
that
all
suche
prysoners
as
his
men
had
taken
in
that
voyage
shulde
be
delyuered
and
rendred
agayne
.
Than
the
duke
of
Guerles
excused
hym selfe
/
and
sayde
.
Syr
that
I
can
not
do
/
I
am
but
a
poore
man
/
and
whan
I
knewe
of
your
commynge
I
fortifyed
my selfe
the
best
I
myght
with
men
of
warre
/
knyghtes
and
squyes
fro
beyonde
the
ryuer
of
Ryne
/
and
other
places
/
and
I
promysed
them
that
what
so
euer
they
wanne
in
this
warre
/
it
shulde
be
their
owne
.
wherfore
I
can
take
nothinge
fro
them
of
that
they
haue
wonne
/
if
I
wolde
/
I
haue
nouther
puyssaunce
nor
power
to
do
it
/
for
if
I
wolde
shewe
rygoure
to
theym
/
they
wolde
make
warre
agaynst
me
.
wherfore
sir
/
may
it
please
you
to
lette
it
passe
/
for
I
canne
nat
remedy
it
.
The
kynge
sawe
he
coulde
haue
nothyng
els
/
he
suffred
it
to
passe
/
and
imagyned
that
he
and
his
realme
were
riche
ynough
to
encrease
poore
men
/
wherfore
he
let
it
passe
/
and
spake
no
mo
wordes
/
and
at
their
departure
eche
of
theym
well
contented
other
.
Than
it
was
ordeyned
to
dyslodge
and
to
retourne
the
same
way
they
came
/
and
than
it
was
sayd
that
the
frenche
kynge
shulde

at
the
cytie
of
Reynes
at
the
feest
of
all
sayntes

and
there
to

Thus
euery
man
dyslodged

vesselles

Henry
Beamonde

mo

Than
they

tooke
counsayle
what
thynge
was
beste
for
them
to
do
/
and
all
thyng
consydered

they
sayd
howe
they
shulde
but
easly
acquyte
themselfe
/
if
they
went
nat

skrymysshe
with
them
.
The
same
season
before
the
castell
of
Bouteuyll
/
was
syr
Loys
of
Xansere
mershall
of
Fraunce
/
and
had
besieged
within
the
fortresse
Gylliam
of
saynt
Foye
a
gascon
/
and
with
the
marshall
a
great
company
of
Poicto●
/
of
Xayntone
/
of
Piergourt
/
of
Rochell
/
and
of
the
lowe
marches
/
for
all
were
nat
gone
in
to
Almayne
with
the
knig
.
This
sir
Loys
was
soueraygne
capytayne
ouer
all
the
fronters
/
bytwene
Mountpellyer
and
Rochell
/
tyll
the
retourne
of
the
lorde
Coucy
.
They
of
Rochell
sent
worde
to
the
marshall
of
the
englysshmens
beynge
at
Palyce
.
Whan
he
herde
therof
he
was
ryght
ioyfull
/
and
sent
to
theym
that
they
shulde
make
redy
seuen
or
eyght
galees
/
and
to
man
them
forthe
/
for
he
wolde
come
by
lande
and
fyght
with
the
Englisshmen
.
They
of
Rochell
dyd
as
they
were
commaunded
/
and
sir
Loys
departed
fro
his
siege
/
and
brake
it
vp
/
for
he
thought
it
shulde
be
more
honorable
for
hym
to
fyght
with
the
erle
of
Arundell
and
the
englysshe
men
/
rather
thanne
to
contyne
we
styll
his
siege
.
Thus
be
wente
to
Rochell
/
and
all
knyghtes
and
squyers
folowed
hym
.
I
can
nat
tell
by
what
inspyracyon
the
erle
of
Arundell
had
knowledge
/
howe
the
marshall
of
Fraunce
with
a
greate
puyssaunce
of
knyghtes
and
squyers
was
comynge
to
fyght
with
hym
at
Palyce
/
whiche
tydynges
were
nat
very
pleasaunte
to
the
erle
of
Arundell
/
howe
be
it
the
wynde
was
some
what
layde
/
and
the
see
aueyled
.
Than
the
erle
wayed
vp
ancres
and
sayled
in
to
the
see
/
in
suche
good
season
/
that
if
he
had
taryed
longe
after
/
he
had
been
enclosed
in
the
hauen
and
euery
man
taken
/
for
in
contynent
thyder
came
the
galees
of
Rochell
/
well
manned
and
furnysshed
with
artyllery
and
gonnes
/
and
came
streyght
to
the
hauen
of
the
Palyce
/
and
founde
the
englisshe
men
departed
.
They
pursued
after
a
two
leages
in
the
see
and
shotte
gonnes
/
howebeit
they
durst
nat
longe
folowe
for
feare
of
enbusshmentes
on
the
see
.
Than
the
frenche
shippes
returned
/
and
the
marshall
of
Fraunce
was
sore
dyspleased
with
theym
of
Rochell
/
that
they
sente
hym
worde
so
late
.
The
erle
of
Arundell
toke
the
waye
by
the
ryuer
of
Garon
/
to
come
to
Burdeaux
/
and
therby
the
siege
before
Bowteuyll
was
defeated
/
for
Gillonet
of
saynt
Foy
prouyded
his
garyson
of
that
he
neded
/
in
the
meane
tyme
the
the
marshall
went
to
fyght
with
the
englysshe
men
.
NOwe
let
vs
retourne
somwhat
to
speke
of
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
howe
he
was
in
treatie
with
the
spanyardes
/
and
also
with
the
Duke
of
Berrey
/
for
the
maryage
of
his
doughter
.
The
kynge
of
Castyle
treated
with
hym
for
his
sonne
the
prince
of
Castyle
/
to
the
entent
to
haue
a
peace
with
the
englisshe
men
.
Also
the
duke
of
Berrey
treated
to
haue
the
duke
of
Lancasters
doughter
for
hymselfe
/
for
he
had
great
desyre
to
be
maryed
.
And
the
duke
of
Lancastre
lyke
a
sage
imagynat●●e
prince
/
sawe
well
howe
it
was
more
profitable
for
Englande
and
for
hym
/
to
mary
his
doughter
in
to
Castyle
/
rather
than
to
the
duke
of
Berrey
/
for
therby
he
/
thought
to
recouer
the
herytage
of
Castyle
in
tyme
to
come
/
for
his
doughter
.
And
if
he
shulde
gyue
her
to
the
duke
of
Berrey
/
and
the
duke
fortune
to
dye
/
his
doughter
than
shulde
be
but
a
poore
lady
/
to
the
regarde
of
other
/
bycause
the
duke
of
Berrey
had
chyldren
by
his
fyrst
wyfe
/
who
shulde
haue
all
the
profyte
.
Also
the
duchesse
of
Lancastre
enclyned
to
the
kynge
of
Castyles
sonne
.
So
that
whan
sir
Helyon
of
Lignac
was
departed
fro
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
and
retourned
to
the
duke
of
Berrey
/
beynge
as
that
in
Almayne
/
than
the
king
of
Castyls
messangers
were
well
herde
/
in
suche
wyse
/
that
their
wordes
were
noted
and
their
offers
accepted
/
and
the
couenaunte
made
and
sworne
bytwene
Kateryn
of
Lancastre
and
the
kynge
of
Castylles
sonne
/
and
writynges
and
publike
instrumentes
and
oblygatory
bondes
made
and
concluded
/
with
out
re●le
or
repentaunce
.
So
that
the
duches
of
Lancastre
after
euery
thyng
set
in
ordre
/
shulde
bring
her
doughter
Kateryn
in
to
Castyle
.
All
this
season
the
frenche
kynge
was
styll
in
the
fronters
of
Iulyers
/
concludynge
with
the
duke
of

(
as

and
howe
they
departed
.
And
as

and
came

and
incontynente
these

came

entred
at

ouerthrewe
I

There
was
taken

This

hadde
the

nyght
/
by
reason
they
made

easy
watche

and
were

The

howe
the

And
in

This
was
openly
publysshed

and
euery

thought

The

Rennes
at
the
feest

and
there
helde
a

And

Than

well
/
if
I

/
I

Than
the
frenche
men
beganne
to
murmure
vpon
this
maryage
/
and
said
.
this
can
nat
be
done
without

/
whiche
shal
be
a

greatly
preiudycyall
in

the
realme
of
Fraunce
.
And
suche
as
considred
the
botom
of
the
mater
said
:
howe
that

Englande

and
Portugale

/
these

/
what
by

Wherfore

/
consydringe
that
this
vnhappy
kyng
of
Castyle
hath
made
alyaunce
in
maner
with
a
deed
man
:
For
the
duke
of
lancastre
is
as
a
man
without
men
and
puyssaunce
.
Nor
also
they
sayde
/
howe
the

Castyll
ought

If

Lette

Howe

He

But

THese

The

that

And
that

And

who

within

castell
of
Vandachore
.
But
fyrste
we
wyll
speke
of
the
duke
of
Berrey
who
had
great
desyre
to
mary
/
as
he
well
shewed
within
that
yere
.
Whan
he
sawe
that
he
had
fayled
of
the
duke
of
Lancasters
doughter
.
he
was
enfourmed
that
the
erle
of
Boulonge
had
a
fayre
doughter
named
Iane
/
doughter
to
the
lady
Elyanour
of
Comynges
/
howe
be
it
she
was
nat
with
her
father
nor
with
her
moder
/
she
was
in
the
countrey
of
Bierne
with
the
Erle
of
Foiz
her
great
frende
and
cosyn
.
She
hadde
ben
there
brought
vp
and
nourysshed
&
well
entreated
the
space
of
nyne
yeres
/
in
the
castell
of
Ortayes
/
without
cost
or
charge
to
father
or
mother
.
The
erle
often
tymes
hadde
been
desyred
to
haue
had
her
maryed
:
but
alwayes
the
erle
aunswered
that
the
damosell
was
to
yonge
.
Specially
sir
Bernarde
brother
to
the
erle
of
Armynacke
hadde
desyred
to
haue
her
/
and
promysed
that
if
he
myght
haue
her
in
maryage
/
the
warre
shulde
ende
bytwene
them
/
for
the
chalenge
of
the
lande
of
Byerne
.
But
for
all
those
promyses
/
the
erle
wolde
nat
agree
therto
/
but
aunswered
euer
/
howe
that
his
cosyn
was
to
yonge
.
but
amonge
his
owne
men
he
wolde
saye
otherwyse
.
For
as
sir
Espaygne
du
Lyon
shewed
me
/
he
wolde
saye
/
howe
they
of
Armynacke
myght
well
repute
hym
for
a
beest
/
if
he
shulde
graunt
their
desyre
/
seynge
it
was
to
his
dommage
.
For
if
he
shulde
graunt
theym
his
cosyn
in
maryage
/
he
shulde
strength
them
/
and
enfeble
hym selfe
.
Sayeng
/
howe
they
of
Armynake
helde
by
force
and
nat
of
right
the
countie
of
Comynges
/
the
whiche
herytage
is
by
his
mother
and
aunte
to
my
cosyn
of
Boloyne
.
I
wyll
well
they
knowe
I
shall
mary
her
in
so
stronge
a
place
and
puissaunt
to
make
warre
with
them
for
the
herytage
of
Comynges
.
For
as
nowe
there
is
none
to
answere
but
a
deed
man
.
THus
whan
the
erle
of
Armynacke
&
sir
Bernarde
his
brother
/
sawe
that
they
coulde
nat
come
to
their
purpose
/
as
long
as
her
aunte
lyued
.
Than
they
sayde
to
the
duke
of
Berrey
/
that
this
lady
shulde
be
a
fayre
maryage
for
Iohn
of
Berrey
his
sonne
.
And
by
their
settynge
on
/
the
duke
sente
suffycient
and
noble
messangers
in
to
Byerne
to
the
erle
of
Foiz
.
Desyringe
hym
that
all
yuell
wyll
might
be
sette
aparte
and
euery
thynge
pardoned
of
tymes
paste
/
and
that
he
myght
haue
the
damosell
of
Boulonge
/
for
Iohan
his
sonne
in
maryage
.
So
that
the
erle
of
Boulonge
/
father
to
the
damosell
dyde
therto
agree
and
assent
.
Th
erle
of
Foiz
made
good
chere
to
these
ambassadors
but
he
excused
hym
for
that
maryage
/
&
sayd
howe
the
lady
his
cosyn
was
to
yonge
:
And
also
he
sayde
/
howe
that
whan
the
countesse
of
Boulonge
her
mother
delyuered
her
in
to
his
charge
/
She
caused
hym
to
swere
/
that
he
shulde
neuer
mary
her
in
no
place
/
withher
knowledge
and
consent
.
And
in
no
wyse
he
sayde
he
myght
/
nor
wolde
nat
breake
his
promyse
nor
othe
/
and
he
sayd
none
ought
to
desyre
hym
thervnto
.
This
excuse
the
Erle
made
/
for
he
knewe
well
that
his
cosyn
of
Comynges
/
who
was
with
the
erle
of
Vrgell
her
brother
in
the
realme
of
Arragon
/
wolde
nat
agree
thervnto
.
Thus
the
ambassadors
of
the
duke
of
Berrey
retourned
without
any
thyng
doyng
to
their
purpose
.
And
whan
they
were
gone
(
as
sir
Espaygne
du
Lyon
shewed
me
)
the
erle
sayde
ah
.
The
duke
of
Berrey
and
his
counsayle
myght
well
repute
me
for
an
ignorant
/
whan
he
wolde
haue
me
to
enforce
myne
ennemyes
.
Iohan
of
Berry
is
cosyn
germayn
to
myne
aduersaries
of
Armynake
.
that
bargayne
shall
I
neuer
make
/
I
shall
rather
mary
her
in
to
Englande
.
It
hath
been
spoken
of
to
sir
Henry
of
Lancastre
erle
of
Derby
/
sonne
to
the
duke
of
Lancastre
.
If
I
thought
nat
greatly
to
displease
the
Frenche
kynge
/
there
shulde
none
other
haue
her
but
he
.
&
as
yet
I
knowe
nat
what
I
wyll
do
/
for
I
shall
rather
mary
her
at
my
pleasure
/
than
they
of
Armynake
shulde
haue
her
agaynste
my
wyll
.
In
me
it
lyeth
to
do
or
to
leaue
.
I
nede
nat
to
trouble
my selfe
in
the
mater
.
Whan
the
duke
of
Berrey
knewe
the
certenlie
that
the
duke
of
Lancastre
shulde
mary
his
doughter
to
the
king
of
Castyls
sonne
/
&
that
he
coude
nat
breke
that
maryage
in
no
wyse
:
he
was
a
.v.
or
sixe
dayes
so
pensyue
/
that
none
about
hym
durst
demaunde
what
he
ayled
:
at
last
he
declared
his
entent
to
them
of
his
counsaile
.
than
they
said
to
hym
.
sir
/
if
ye
haue
fayled
of
the
duke
of
Lancasters
doughter
/
ye
maye
recouer
another
/
as
great
and
as
good
(
as
she
is
)
howe
be
it
she
is
very
yonge
for
your
age
.
Wherfore
we
can
nat
tell
if
the
erle
of
Foiz
wyll
refuce
it
for
that
cause
/
who
hath
the
lady
in
his
gouernaunce
.
Ah
quod
the
duke
/
that
is
the
doughter
of
the
Erle
of
Boulonge
/
the
erle
of
Foiz
hath
refused
Iohan
of
Berrey
/
howe
be
it
in
the
name
of
god
let
vs
yet
assaye
.
Than
the
duke
wrote
to
the
Erle
of
Foiz
/
signifyeng
hym
ryght
swetely
that
he
wolde
sende
to
hym
four
lordes
:
as
th
erle
of
Xancere
/
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuer
/
sir
Guy
de
la
Tremoyle
/
and
the
Vycount
Dassey
/
to
treate
with
hym
to
haue
for
hym selfe
in
maryage
the
doughter
of
Boulonge
/
beyng
vnder
his
kepyng
/
so
it
maye
be
to
his
pleasure
.
and
desyred
the
erle
to
sende
hym
an
answere
in
writyng
the
hole
of
his
mynde
/
to
th
entent
that
his
messangers
shulde
nat
traueyle
in
vayne
/
nor
lese
there
payne
.
The
erle
of
Foiz
receyued
the
messangers
that
brought
the
writtynge
ryght
amyably
/
and
wrote
agayne
by
them
to
the
duke
of
Berrey
:
sayeng
/
howe
he
was
right
gladde
of
those
tidynges
/
&
wolde
be
redy
to
receyue
the
sayd
lordes
/
outher
in
Foiz
or
in
Byerne
/
so
that
the
Erle
of
Boulonge
and
the
countesse
/
father
and
mother
to
the
lady
be
agreed
thervnto
.
And
at
their
retourne
whan
the
duke
of
Berey
herde
his
answere
he
was
right
ioyfull
/
and
all
that
wynter
styll
he
pursued
/
what
here
&
there
/
that
he
myght
attayne
to
this
maryage
the
nexte
somer
after
.
He
coude
nat
bring
his
purpose
aboute
shortely
/
for
he
knewe
well
the
erle
of
Foiz
was
no
man
lightly
to
be
wonne
/
for
he
was
sure
he
shulde
haue
many
delays
.
wherfore
the
duke
thought
to
worke
wysely
/
&
sent
specyall
messangers
to
pope
Clement
/
who
was
cosyn
and
nere
a
kyn
to
the
damosell
of
Boulonge
.
The
pope
was
right
ioyouse
whan
he
knewe
that
his
cosyn
might
to
highly
be
maryed
/
as
to
the
duke
of
Berrey
/
vncle
to
the
Frenche
kyng
.
Than
the
pope
wrote
to
th
erle
of
Foiz
/
signifyeng
hym
right
honorably
/
&
aduysinge
hym
that
he
shulde
nat
vary
fro
the
treatie
of
that
maryage
/
for
therby
their
lynage
shulde
be
enhaunsed
.
Thus
the
erle
of
Foiz
receyued
letters
fro
all
parties
&
he
answered
them
all
/
for
right
well
he
coude
dissimule
in
suche
busynesse
.
He
helde
all
the
parties
in
good
loue
and
fauour
/
bothe
the
pope
and
the
duke
of
Berrey
.
yet
there
was
nat
the
wysest
of
them
bothe
nor
of
their
counfayls
/
that
coude
knowe
perfitely
what
the
erle
of
Foiz
thought
surely
to
do
.
¶
Nowe
lette
vs
somwhat
leaue
speakyng
of
this
mater
/
and
retourne
to
the
siege
of
Vanchadore
.
ye
haue
herde
here
before
in
this
hystorie
/
how
sir
Wyllm
Lignac
and
sir
Iohn
Boemlaunce
/
&
dyuers
other
knightes
and
squiers
of
Auuergne
and
Limosin
had
besieged
the
castell
of
Vanchadore
/
and
Geffray
Tete
noyre
within
:
But
they
coude
nat
wyn
it
by
no
maner
of
assaut
/
for
they
within
were
prouyded
of
all
thynges
necessary
for
.vii.
yere
/
though
they
had
no
refresshyng
.
They
without
ofte
tymes
wolde
come
out
of
their
bastydes
and
scrimysshe
.
Durynge
the
siege
many
feates
of
armes
were
done
/
&
dyuers
hurt
on
bothe
ꝑtes
.
And
so
it
fortuned
at
a
scrimysshe
Geffray
Tete
noyre
was
there
hym selfe
/
&
auaunsed
so
forwarde
/
that
he
was
striken
through
the
bassenet
in
to
the
heed
with
a
quarell
/
so
that
he
was
fayne
to
kepe
his
bedde
/
wherwith
all
his
company
was
sore
displeased
/
and
the
season
that
he
lay
there
was
no
scrimysshing
.
of
this
hurt
if
he
had
ben
well
kept
he
might
sone
haue
ben
hole
/
but
he
kept
hym selfe
but
yuell
and
specially
fro
lechery
/
the
whiche
he
derely
bought
/
for
it
cost
hym
his
lyfe
:
but
or
he
died
he
knewe
well
before
there
was
no
remedy
but
dethe
/
For
it
was
playnly
shewed
hym
/
by
reason
of
his
yuell
rule
.
He
was
in
ieoperdy
of
dethe

apostumed
/
wherfore
he
was
counsayled
to
declare
his
wyll
&
to
make

:
than
he
made
his

First

to
come
before
hym
all
the
soueraygne

For

for
he
was
a

a
sage
capitayne
and

.
NOwe
lette
vs
retourne
to
the
duke
of
Guerles
and
shewe
what
fell
to
hym
in
this
season
/
bycause
I
haue
spoken
of
hym
before
:
For
by
his
meanes
the
Frenche
kyng
/
his
vncles
/
and
his
brother
/
&
other
nobles
of
Fraunce
came
to
the
entre
of
the
countrey
of
Guerles
:
and
the
kyng
departed
thens
and
the
duke
/
hauyng
no
great
domage
.
And
whan
the
duke
of
Guerles
sawe
that
all
the
men
of
warre
were
departed
/
and
that
he
was
apeased
with
the
duches
of
Brabant
and
with
all
his
enemyes
/
by
reason
of
the
composicion
that
was
made
/
as
to
rendre
vp
the
towne
of
Graue
vpon
certayne
poyntes
and
artycles
/
ordayned
bytwene
the
duke
of
Burgone
/
the
duches
of
Brabant
/
and
the
duke
of
Guerles
.
Than
he
thought
(
to
then
tent
to
employ
his
season
)
to
go
in
to
Pruce
/
He
made
hym
redy
/
and
gate
hym
company
of
knyghtes
and
squyers
of
his
owne
countrey
/
and
other
places
.
And
about
the
vtas
of
saynt
Martyn
he
rode
forthe
throughe
Almaygne
/
and
in
euery
place
where
as
he
passed
he
had
good
chere
.
And
so
longe
he
rode
that
he
came
to
the
lande
of
Pruce
/
I
knowe
nat
by
what
insydence
.
Certayne
men
layde
in
wayte
on
hym
/
and
in
the
feldes
set
on
him
or
he
was
ware
/
and
ouerthewe
hym
and
all
his
men
/
so
that
they
lost
all
their
horses
/
armure
/
vessell
/
golde
and
syluer
/
and
were
all
ledde
prisoners
to
a
towne
/
and
there
sware
faythe
and
trouthe
to
paye
their
ran̄somes
/
and
specially
the
duke
of
Guerles
became
prisoner
and
made
promyse
to
pay
his
ran̄some
to
a
squyer
called
Arnolde
/
his
surname
I
knowe
nat
.
Than
the
duke
and
his
men
were
ledde
to
a
stronge
towne
in
the
lande
of
the
duke
of
Stulpe
/
whether
the
duke
was
there
or
nat
I
was
nat
enformed
therof
.
but
whan
the
great
maysters
of
Pruce
herde
howe
the
duke
of
Guerles
was
taken
as
he
was
commyng
in
to
their
countre
/
they
were
sore
displeased
therwith
/
and
sayd
:
howe
the
mater
shulde
nat
rest
in
that
case
/
for
they
to
suffr●
it
shulde
be
greatly
to
their
blame
.
Tha●●
they
reysed
vp
men
and
departed
fro
Connysbredge
/
and
came
with
a
great
strength
of
men
towardes
the
towne
and
castell
/
where
as
the
duke
of
Guerles
was
in
prison
.
Whan
the
squyer
that
had
taken
the
duke
was
enfourmed
of
the
commyng
of
the
great
mayster
of
Pruce
with
suche
a
puyssaunce
doughted
greatly
/
and
determyned
nat
to
abyde
their
commyng
to
the
castell
/
but
thought
to
departe
But
or
his
departure
he
came
to
the
duke
of
Guerles
and
sayd
to
hym
.
Sir
duke
/
ye
are
my
prisoner
and
I
am
your
mayster
.
ye
are
a
gentylman
and
a
true
knight
:
ye
haue
sworne
and
gyuen

where
soeuer
I
go
and
wyll

/
ye
ought
to
folowe

:
I
can
nat
tell
if
ye
haue

for
the
great

or

/
he

hyder
with

:
I
thynke

abyde
hym
tary
you
here
if
ye

/
I
wyll
cary
with
me
your
faythe
and
promyse
.
The
duke
to
those
wordes
gaue
none
answere
:
and
the
squyer
toke
his
horse
and
departed
/
and
wente
to
a
place
stronge
ynoughe
:
And
at
his
departyng
he
sayde
agayne
to
the
duke
.
Sir
/
ye
shall
fynde
me
in
suche
a
place
/
he
named
hym
a
stronge
castell
and
oute
of
all
hyghe
wayes
.
And
whan
he
was
gone
the
great
mayster
of
Pruce
came
to
the
duke
of
Guerles
where
as
he
was
/
for
there
was
none
to
lette
hym
/
and
so
delyuered
the
duke
out
of
prison
:
and
if
he
hadde
founde
the
squyer
there
/
surely
he
had
been
slayne
.
Than
the
great
mayster
of
Pruce
retourned
to
Connysbredge
/
and
the
duke
of
Guerles
with
hym
.
I
Shall
shewe
you
what
fell
of
this
busynesse
.
True
it
was
/
great
brute
ran
in
dyuers
countreis
/
and
specially
in
Almaygne
of
the
takyng
of
the
duke
of
Guerles
/
euery
man
that
herde
it
hadde
great
marueile
therof
.
Thus
whan
the
duke
of
Guerles
was
come
to
Connisbredge
and
was
delyuered
/
as
ye
haue
herde
:
than
he
remembred
hymselfe
/
howe
he
was
bounde
by
his
faythe
to
the
squyer
that
tooke
hym
/
and
remembred
the
wordes
that
the
squier
spake
at
his
departyng
.
than
he
thought
in
hym selfe
that
in
no
wyse
he
wolde
breke
his
promyse
/
but
truely
acquyte
his
faythe
/
and
sayd
to
the
great
maister
of
Pruce
/
that
he
wolde
no
lengar
tary
there
/
but
go
to
the
squyer
that
had
his
faythe
.
And
so
determyned
to
do
for
any
thynge
that
the
great
mayster
coulde
saye
or
do
:
Nouther
dispensacyon
/
absolucyon
/
nor
other
thyng
/
coude
nat
cause
the
duke
to
absteyne
/
but
that
he
wolde
nedes
go
to
the
town
where
as
the
squyer
was
/
whome
he
called
his
maister
:
euery
man
that
herde
therof
/
reputed
it
for
a
great
valyauntnesse
.
Whan
this
came
to
knowledge
of
his
frendes
and
kynsmen
/
than
they
treated
for
his
delyueraunce
.
and
so
he
was
delyuered
by
the
helpe
&
meanes
of
the
duke
of
Stulpe
/
who
toke
great
payne
in
the
mater
:
Howe
be
it
the
duke
of
Stulpe
or
he
consented
that
the
duke
of
guerles
shulde
be
delyuered
out
of
daunger
/
and
out
of
his
lande
/
wolde
in
any
wyse
that
the
duke
of
Guerles
shulde
swere
and
scale
/
that
he
and
his
heyres
neuer
after
that
daye
/
nor
none
other
man
for
hym
/
shulde
take
any
vengeaunce
for
that
mater
/
by
waye
of
dissymulacion
or
otherwyse
.
Thus
he
was
fayne
to
do
or
he
departed
.
This
aduenture
had
the
duke
of
Guerles
that
yere
.

NOwe

So

The

season
other
maters
fell
in

ye
haue
herde
howe
the
duke
of
Irelande
(
who
was
called
erle
of
Oxenforde
)
was
banysshed
oute
of
Englande
/
by
the
vncles
of
kyng
Richarde
/
and
speciallye
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
had
grettest
dyspleasure
to
hym
/
so
that
to
saue
hym selfe
he
was
fledde
in
to
Hollande
/
and
taryed
there
but
a
small
season
/
in
the
towne
of
Dordregh
for
he
was
fayne
to
departe
thens
.
For
duke
Aubert
/
who
was
lorde
of
that
towne
and
of
Holande
/
denyed
hym
the
taryeng
in
his
countrey
/
for
he
wolde
nat
kepe
hym
agaynst
the
wyll
of
his
cosyns
germayns
of
Englande
/
for
all
that
the
kynge
of
Englande
had
written
for
hym
/
yet
he
was
fayne
to
departe
and
to
go
to
Trecte
a
fraunches
towne
for
all
maner
of
people
/
payeng
for
that
they
take
.
And
the
duke
of
Irelande
had
ynoughe
to
paye
.
For
besyde
that
he
brought
with
him
/
he
had
threscore
thousande
frankes
out
of
Fraunce
fro
the
Constable
/
for
the
redempcion
of
Iohan
of
Bretayne
.
And
he
was
come
to
the
Frenche
kyng
vnder
saueconducte
/
and
was
there
with
hym
more
than
a
yere
.
The
kyng
made
hym
good
chere
/
bycause
he
was
a
straunger
/
Howe
be
it
trewe
it
was
/
thoughe
this
duke
was
with
the
kyng
/
yet
the
lorde
of
Coucy
hated
hym
in
his
herie
/
for
he
had
good
cause
.
For
though
the
duke
in
all
affayres
was
prouyded
of
wytte
/
honoure
/
eloquence
/
and
of
great
largesse
/
yet
he
had
greatly
trespassed
agaynst
the
lorde
of
Coucies
doughter
/
who
was
his
wyfe
laufully
spoused
.
And
forsoke
her
without
any
tytell
of
reason
/
but
by
false
and
yuell
temptacyon
and
disceyte
/
was
disceyued
.
And
toke
another
wyfe
/
a
damosell
of
the
quene
of
Englandes
of
the
countrey
of
Boeme
/
&
the
kyng
and
the
quene
of
Englande
synfully
consented
therto
.
And
was
dispensed
by
pope
Vrbane
of
Rome
/
at
the
instaunte
desyre
of
the
kynge
and
quene
of
Englande
.
This
synne
greued
greatly
the
conscience
of
the
duke
of
Irelande
.
And
bycause
the
lorde
of
Coucy
/
who
was
of
the
counsayle
of
Fraunce
/
and
well
worthy
so
to
be
/
for
he
had
done
good
seruyce
/
&
was
well
able
to
do
.
He
ꝓcured
so
moche
by
meanes
of
his
frendes
/
as
sir
Olyuer
of
Clysson
and
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuer
sir
Iohan
Marcyer
and
other
/
That
it
was
sayde
to
the
duke
of
Irelande
/
that
he
shulde
departe
out
of
Fraunce
/
and
to
go
and
chose
hymselfe
another
place
to
abyde
in
/
where
he
lyst
/
so
that
it
be
nat
in
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
and
thyder
he
shulde
surely
be
conueyed
.
The
duke
of
Irelande
sawe
well
/
howe
he
was
dayly
in
paryll
by
meanes
of
the
lorde
of
Coucy
and
his
lygnage
.
Wherfore
he
thought
it
shulde
be
beste
for
hym
to
go
farre
of
/
rather
than
to
abyde
nere
.
than
he
aduised
to
drawe
in
to
Brabant
/
and
desyred
the
kyng
to
write
to
the
duchesse
of
Brabant
/
that
it
wolde
pleace
her
to
suffre
hym
pesably
to
abyde
in
her
countrey
.
The
kynge
wrote
to
his
aunte
the
duchesse
of
Brabant
/
and
she
condiscended
to
the
kynges
desyre
.
The
duke
of
Irelande
was
conducted
by
men
of
the
kynges
to
Louayne
and
there
he
taryed
/
and
somtyme
he
went
to
a
castell
nat
farre
of
fro
the
towne
of
Louaygne
/
the
whiche
he
had
borowed
of
a
knyght
of
Brabant
.
With
the
duke
of
Irelande
was
the
archebysshop
of
yorke
/
who
in
lykewise
was
banysshed
out
of
Englande
/
all
for
one
cause
.
This
bysshoppe
was
one
of
the
Neuelles
of
Englande
/
who
in
the
countrey
of
Northumberlande
were
puissaunt
men
/
bothe
of
landes
and
of

.
There
taryed
these
two
lordes
at
Louayne
or
there
about

as
I
herde

as
they

For

I

The

The
Frenche
kynge
/
the
duke
of
Thourayne
his

and
the

And
the

The
kynge
gaue
great
giftes
to
the
ladyes
and
damoselles
/
wherby
he
had
great
laude
and
prayse
.
THe
pope
and
the
cardinals
were
ryght
ioyfull
of
the
kynges
beyng
there
/
as
it
was
reason
that
they
shulde
so
be
/
for
without
the
loue
of
the
Frenche
kynge
their
porte
shulde
haue
ben
but
small
.
For
they
consydred
or
ought
to
haue
consydred
/
that
there
was
no
kynge
christned
/
that
were
obedyent
to
them
/
except
it
were
for
loue
and
fauoure
/
and
alyaunce
of
the
Frenche
kyng
.
The
kynge
of
Spaygne
and
the
kynge
of
Scottes
obeyed
this
pope
Clement
/
and
the
kynge
of
Aragon
was
but
newly
so
determyned

and
that
made
the
quene
yolande

who
was
cosyn
germayne

)
elles
he
had
nat
done
so
/
for
before
/
the
kynge
of
Aragon
and
his
father
before
hym
was
as
neuter
.
Therfore
this
pope
and
cardynalles
ought
well
to
feest
the
Frenche
kyng
/
seynge
their
puyssaunce
and
profyte
that
they
lyued
by
to
kepe
their
estate
/
came
by
meanes
of
the
Frenche
kyng
.
Thus
the
kyng
taryed
there
a
certayne
season
in
great
ioye
&
sporte
.
And
for
ioye
of
the
kynges
commynge
thyder
/
the

.
And
gaue
the
nomynacions
to
the
kyng

of
all

/
cathedrals
/
and
to

as
they

wherby
many
of
the
kynges
clerkes
were
promoted
.
Also
the
pope
gaue
graces
to
the
duke
of
Thourayne
/
the
duke
of
Berrey
/
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
/
and
to
the
lorde
Coucy
/
all
other
were
stopped
that
had
ben
graunted
before
.
The
pope
was
so
curtesse
&
lyberall
/
that
for
loue
of
the
kynges
commyng
/
he
graunted
euery
thyng
that
was
asked
.
WHan
the
kynge
had
ben

a
certayne
space
/
the
pope
shewed
hym
his
complaynt
/
howe
that
the
other
pope
of
Rome
greatly
hyndred
his
ryght

&
made

The
kynge
herde

and
promysed
this
pope
Clement
that
after
his
returne
agayne
in
to
Fraunce
/
he
wolde
entende
to
none
other
thynge

but
to
bringe
the
churche

one
accorde
.
With
those
wordes
the
pope
was
greatly
conforted
.
The
kynge
toke
his
leaue
and
retourned
to
Vyle
Neufe
/
and
so
dyde
his
brother
and
vncles
of

And
there
on
a

the
kynge
made

to
all
the
cardynalles
and
to
the

For

His

were
content
therwith
/
for
as
than
the
kyng
had
suche

For

It

but
the

Let

As

We
are
two
of

Thus
these
two
dukes
deuysed
togyder
/
&
the
Frenche
kyng
departed
the
nexte
day
and
toke
the
waye
to
Nymes
/
and
rode
thyder
to
dyner
.
The
said
two
dukes
taryed
styll
with
the
Pope
thre
dayes
/
and
the
lorde
of
Coucy
in
lykewise
.
the
fourthe

they
departed
&
rode
in
to
their
owne
countreis
/
and
the
kyng
went
fro
Nymes
and
laye
all
nyght
at
Lunell
.
Whan
the
kyng
departed
fro
Lunell
he
went
to
dyner
to
Moutpellyer
/
it
was
but
thre
lytell
myles
.
There
he
was
receyued
of
the
burgesses
/
ladyes
/
and
damoselles
of
the
towne
/
for
they
greatly
desyred
to
se
the
kynge
/
and
many
riche
presentes
were
gyuen
to
hym
/
for
Mountpellyer
is
a
puissaunt
towne
/
ryche
/
&
full
of
marchandise
.
The
kynge
praysed
the
towne
moche
/
and
well
consydred
their
puissaunce
.
And
it
was
shewed
the
kyng
that
the
towne
hadde
ben
moche
richer
before
thanne
it
was
at
that
presente
tyme
:
For
the
duke
of
Aniou
and
the
duke
of
Berrey
/
eche
of
them
in
their
tourne
hadde
greatlye
pylled
them
.
The
kyng
was
sorie
that
the
good
people
had
endured
so
moche
dommage
/
and
sayd
/
how
he
wolde
reforme
the
countre
in
to
a
better
state
Than
it
was
shewed
the
kynge
/
that
the
pouertie
of
that
towne
was
nothyng
/
to
that
he
shulde
fynde
forwarde
/
For
that
towne
of
it selfe
hath
good
meanes
of
recoueraunce
/
by
reson
of
the
marchandise
that
is
there
vsed
/
bothe
by
lande
and
by
see
.
But
in
the
marchesse
of
Carcassone
&
Tholous
/
&
therabout
/
where
as
the
said
two
dukes
had
the
gouernaunce
.
Loke
on
what
thyng
they
had
puyssaunce
to
laye
on
their
handes
there
was
nothyng
left
/
but
all
taken
away
.
For
ye
shall
fynde
the
people
there
so
poore
/
that
suche
as
were
wont
to
be
riche
and
puissaunt
/
nowe
they
are
scant
able
to
labour
their
vynes
nor
landes
.
It
is
a
great
pyte
to
se
them
/
their
wyues
/
and
chyldren
.
for
they
haue
had
euery
yere
fyue
or
sixe
tayles
layde
on
their

/
and
are
rausomed
to
the

&
somtyme
to
all

One
tayle

but
that
another
was
redy
in
the

therof
.
for
ser
/
as
it
is
well
knowen
these
two

your

while
they
ruled
in
Languedocke
/
they
haue
leuyed
in

rounde

and
retournyng
to
the

of

/
the
some
of

hundred
thousande
frankes
.
And
specially
sythe
the
duke
of
Aniou
departed
/
the
duke
of
Berrey
hath
done
the
more
dommage
for
he
founde
the
playne
countrey
and
commontie
in
good
case
/
for
the
duke
of
Aniou
tooke
but
of
the
ryche
men
/
who
had
wherwith
to
paye
.
But
the
duke
of
Berrey
spared
nother
poore
nor
riche
/
for
he
gadered
all
before
him
specially
by
one
of
his
counsayle
his
treasourer
named
Betysache
/
who
is
of
the

As

To

As

For

The

whan

he

for

tyll

And

I

And

There

I
shall
shewe

.
THe
countesse
demaunded
of
hym
and
sayde
.
sir
Peter
of

.
howe
are
ye
contente
with
the
Lordes
of
Fraunce
/
and
with
the
maner
of
Fraunce
?
he
answered
courtesly
and
sayd
.
Madame
/
the
maner
of
Fraunce
is
ryght
noble
and
goodlye
.
As
for
the
lordes
of
Fraunce
I
am
right
well
content
with
their
chere
/
excepte
in
one
thyng
/
and
that
is
with
great
payne
and
traueyle
and
great
coste
/
I
haue
issued
oute
of
Englande
to
do
dedes
of
armes
/
and
so
came
to
the
frenche
kynges
court
/
but
there
I
knew
nat
with
whom
to
do
armes
.
Thus
my
lordes
/
whan
I
herde
hym
saye
so
in
the
presence
of
so
noble
a
lady
/
as
the
countesse
of
saynte
Poule
/
suster
to
the
kynge
of
Englande
/
the
wordes
were
right
heuy
to
me
to
beare
.
how
be
it
I
suffred
them
for
that
tyme
/
bycause
I
had
the
charge
of
the
conueyaunce
of
hym
.
I
neuer
made
semblaunt
therof
to
hym
/
as
longe
as
we
were
in
company
togider
within
the
realme
of
Fraunce
.
And
at
our
leaue
takynge
in
the
marchesse
of
Calais
/
trewe
it
is
/
than
I
layde
vnto
hym
the
sayde
wordes
and
sayd
/
howe
they
were
nat
courtesly
spoken
/
nor
honorably
.
For
the
wordes
sounded
that
the
chiualry
of
Fraunce
was
so
abated
/
that
none
durst
do
dedes
of
armes
with
him
Than
I
sayd
if
he
wolde
abyde
therby
/
that
I
was
one
of
the
knightes
of
Fraunce
borne
of
the
nacyon
.
And
I
sayd
I
wolde
nat
that
he
shulde
make
his
auaunte
in
Englande
/
that
he
coude
nat
fynde
in
Fraunce
/
nor
by
the
waye
/
with
whome
to
do
armes
.
Therfore
I
sayde
I
was
redy
/
and
desyred
to
do
armes
with
hym
/
and
to
fulfylle
his
pleasure
and
desyre
/
as
to
rynne
thre
courses
with
a
speare
/
the
same
daye
or
the
nexte
.
Certaynly
my
lordes
/
I
sayde
these
wordes
for
the
honour
of
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
and
the
chyualry
therof
.
And
me
thonght
he
had
great
ioye
therof
/
and
accepted
to
do
armes
with
me
the
nexte
day
and
so
dyde
I
/
and
the
nexte
day
we
mette
at
the
same
place
.
He
was
a
companyed
with
them
of
the
garyson
of
Calais
/
And
with
me
there
were
certayne
of
the
fronters
there
/
knyghtes
and
squyers
:
as
the
lorde
of
Mount
carell
and
sir
Iohan
of
Longuyllers
.
There
we
iusted
toguyder
as
well
as
we
coude
/
and
the
aduenture
of
armes
fell
so
that
at
the
seconde
course
I
strake
him
through
the
shulder
/
so
that
he
fell
to
the
erthe
.
Than
I
retourned
againe
to
knowe
if
he
wolde
do
any
more
.
Than
the
capitayne
of
Calis
said
it
was
sufiycient
that
was
done
/
and
that
I
myght
departe
whan
I
lyst
.
And
than
I
retourned
.
I
beleued
I
had
ryght
well
done
/
and

defended
the
honour
of
the
realme
of

OF
the
high
courage
and
enterprise
of
these
thre
knyghtes
the
french
kynge
was
ryght
ioyefull
therof
/
and
or
the
mater
went
forwarde
euery
thynge
was
well
examyned
and
sene
/
that
no
faulte
shulde
be
therin
founde
.
Some
of
the
kinges
counsayle
thought
it
was
nat
reasonable
/
that
these
armes
shulde
be
doone
so
nere
to
Calays
/
for
the
englysshe
men
might
take
it
for
a
presumpcyon
/
the
whiche
wolde
be
eschewed
/
bycause
of
the
treuce
that
is
taken
bytwene
Englande
and
Fraunce
/
to
endure
for
thre
yere
/
wherfore
they
sayde
there
ought
nothynge
to
be
wrytten
nor
doone
/
that
shulde
be
occasyon
of
any
dyscensyon
to
be
had
bytwene
the
realmes
.
The
kynges
counsayle
rested
on
this
mater
a
hole
day
/
and
wyste
nat
what
to
do
/
they
wolde
faynt
haue
broken
it
.
Suche
as
were
sage
sayde
it
were
nat
good
alwayes
to
consente
to
the
purpose
of
yonge
people
/
for
often
tymes
therby
maye
growe
incydentes
/
rather
yuell
thanne
good
.
Howe
be
it
the
kynge
who
was
yonge
inclyned
greatly
to
these
knyghtes
/
and
sayd
.
Lette
them
do
their
enterprise
/
they
are
yonge
and
coragyous
/
they
haue
promysed
&
sworne
to
do
it
before
the
ladyes
of
Mountpellyer
/
we
wyll
that
the
mater
go
forwarde
/
let
them
purse
we
their
enterprise
.
Whanne
euery
man
sawe
that
it
was
the
kynges
pleasure
/
there
were
none
durste
say
agaynst
it
/
wherfore
the
knyghtes
were
ryght
ioyfull
.
And
so
it
was
concluded
and
agreed
that
the
matter
shulde
go
forwarde
as
the
knightes
had
written
and
sealed
.
than
the
kynge
sent
for
the
thre
knyghtes
into
his
chambre
aparte
/
and
said
to
them
.
Syrs
/
in
all
your
doynge
regarde
wysely
the
honour
of
vs
and
of
our
realme
/
and
to
mayntayne
your
astate
spare
nothynge
/
for
we
shall
nat
fayle
you
for
the
expence
of
ten
thousande
frankes
.
The
thre
knyghtes
kneled
downe
before
the
kynge
and
thanked
his
grace
.
THus
the
frenche
kynge
toke
his
sporte
in
the
good
towne
of
Mountpellyer
a
fyftene
dayes
/
moste
parte
with
ladyes
and
damosels
.
And
the
kynge
and
his
counsayle
had
parfytely
regarded
the
busynesse
and
necessyties
of
the
towne
/
for
princypally
he
was
come
thyder
for
the
same
cause
.
and
by
the
aduyse
of
his
counsayle
euery
thynge
was
well
refourmed
and
brouggt
to
good
astate
/
and
their
oppressyons
do
one
awaye
/
wherby
the
good
people
had
been
sore
traueyled
.
Than
the
kynge
toke
his
leaue
of
the
ladyes
and
damoselles
/
and
in
a
mornynge
he
departed
and
wente
to

/
and
at
nyght
lay
at

the

to

Cap.

THre
dayes
the
kynge
was
at
Besyets
in
greate
ioye
and
reuell
amonge
ladyes
and
damosels
/
and
all

Betysache
was
nothynge

but
the
enquisirours
who
we●
ordeyned
by

dyd

enquyre
of
his
dedes
/
and
they
founde
by
enquest
dyuers
cases
horryble
/
nat

be
pardoned
.
The
fourth
day
that
the
kynge
had

/
this
Betysache
was
called
before
the
kynges
counsayle
in

Betysache

There

agaynst

makyng
mensyon
of

done
to
the
people

All
these
bylles

were

before
hym
one
after

.
To
some
he
aunswered
wysely
/
makynge
his
excuse
/
and
to
some
he
playnly
denyed
them
and
sayde
.
I
knowe
nothynge

those
maters
/
laye
them
to
the
seneschalles
of
Beaucayr
and
of
Carcassone
/
and
to

Howe
be

for
a

/
tyll
the

He
obeyed
bycause
he
myght
nat
chuse
.
As
sone
as
he
was
in
prison
the
inquysitours
wente
to
his
lodgynge
/
and
toke
into
their
handes
all
suche
writyngis
and
acomptes
as
they
founde
there
/
whiche
partayned
to
such
maters
as
he
had
intermedled
with
all
before
/
and
they
auewed
them
at
leysure
/
and
founde
in
theym
the
rekenynges
of
great
sommes
of
money
/
suche
as
had
ben
raysed
and
leuyed
of
the
people
.
Than
he
was
demaunded
where
all
that
money
was
become
and
whether
the
sommes
were
trewe
or
nat
/
he
aunswered
and
sayde
/
as
for
the
sommes
are
trewe
/
and
the
money
delyuered
to
the
duke
of
Berrey
/
and
so
paste
throughe
his
handes
and
his
treasourers
/
whereof
I
haue
good
quyttaunces
in

in

/
the
whiche
quitaunces
were
sente
for
before
the
counsayle
and
there
they
were
redde
/
and
they
agreed
with
the
sommes
of
his
receyte

Than
the
counsayle
and
the
enquysytours
were
apeased
/
and
Betysache
sente
agayne
to
a
curtesse
prysone
.
Than
the
counsayle
communed
togyther
on
that
matter
/
and
sayd
.
It
semeth
that
Betysache
is
clere
of
suche
causes
as
are
layde
to
his
charge
/
for
the
money
that
hathe
been
reysed
/
the
duke
of
Berrey
hathe
had
it
/
howe
so
euer
it
hath
ben
spente
.
ALl
thinges
consydred
/
Betysache
excusacyons
were
lawfull
/
for
the
duke
of
Berrey
was
the
moste
couetouse

so
he
myght
gette

and
whan
he
had
it
he
wolde
bestowe
it
but
symply
/
as
many
lordes
do
and
haue
doone
in
tymes
paste
.
Thus
the
kynges
counsayle
sawe
no
faute
in
Betysache
/
wherby
he
shulde
lese
his
lyfe
.
some
were
of
that
opynyon
and
some
contrary
/
&
said
.
Betysach
hath
done
so
many
cruell
dedes
/
and
hathe
so
sore
inpouerysshed
the
people
/
for
to
acomplysshe
the
desyre
of

that

For

a

borne
of
these
partyes
/
and
counsayler
with
his
maister
/
and
seynge
the
pouerty
of
the
people
/
he
ought
in
good
maner
to
haue
shewed
the
trouth

and
if
the

and
howe

So

A

Than
he

there
remayned

WHan

therby
moche
people
came

Besyers
/
and
put

supplycacions
to
the
kynge
of
the
cruell
dedes
of
Betysach

Some

And

Whan

gret
causes
laide

/
they

.
And
besyde

he

And

The

The

bycause
of

Than

Thanne

than
they
wente
to

wherof

Anon

shulde

/
wherof
moche
people
were

for

the
two

that
were
come
thyder
fro
the

of
Berrey
were
greatly
abasshed
and
wyst
nat
what
to
suppose
.
Than
syr
Peter
Mesquyn
sayde
to
the
lorde
of
Nantonelet
.
Syr
/
I
feare
me
Betysache
is
betrayed
/
peraduenture
some
persone
hath
ben
with

secretly
in

/
and

that

and
so
be
sente
to
Auignon
to

/
and
therby
be
delyuered
.
Ah
fole
that
he
is
/
he
is
dysceyued
/
for
the
kyng
sayeth
he
wyll
haue
hym
bothe
brente
and
hanged
.
Lette
vs
go
to
the
prisone
to
hym
and
reforme
hym
/
and
bringe
hym
to
a nother
state
/
for
he
is
farre
out
of
the
waye
and
yuell
counsayled
.
They
wente
strayte
to
the
prisone
/
and
desyred
the
gayler
that
they
might
speke
with
Betysache
.
The
gayler
excused
hymselfe
and
sayde
.
Syrs
ye
muste
pardone
me
/
for
I
am
straytely
charged
to
suffer
no
manne
to
speke
with
hym
/
and
also
here
be
four
sargeauntes
of
armes
sente
by
the
kynge
to
kepe
hym
/
and
we
dare
nat
breke
the
kinges
commaundement
.
Than
the
two
knyghtes
sawe
well
howe
they
labored
in
vayne
/
and
howe
there
was
no
remedy
by
all
lykelyhode
/
but
that
Betysache
shulde
dye
.
than
they
retourned
to
their
lodgynge
and
rekened
and
payed
/
and
toke
their
horses
and
returned
to
their
lorde
the
duke
of
Berrey
and
shewed
hym
all
the
case
.
THe
conclusion
of
Betysach
was
suche
that
the
nexte
daye
〈◊〉
tenne
of
the
clocke
he
was
taken
out
of
prysone
/
and
brought
to
the
bysshoppes
palays
/
and
there
were
redy
the
iudges
and
offycers
spyrituall
/
and
the
bayly
of
Besyers
brought
forthe
the
prisoner
/
and
sayde
.
Beholde
syrs
here
is
Betisache
whome
I
delyuer
to
you
for
an
herytyke
and
a
synnet
in
bo●gery
/
and
if
he
had
nat
ben
a
clerke
he
had
been
iudged
or
this
acordynge
to
his
desertes
.
Than
the
offycyall
demaunded
of
Betysach
if
it
were
with
hym
acordynge
as
he
was
acused
/
and
to
confesse
the
frouth
there
openly
before
all
the
people
.
And
Betysache
who
thought
to
haue
said
well
/
and
to
haue
scaped
by
reason
of
his
confessyon
/
he
aunswered
and
sayde
that
all
was
trewe
.
He
was
demaunded
this
thre
tymes
/
and
at
euery
tyme
he
confessed
it
to
be
trewe
before
all
the
people
.
Thus
ye
maye
knowe
whether
he
was
dysceyued
or
nat
/
for
i●
he
had
made
no
suche
confessyon
he
had
been
delyuered
/
for
the
duke
of
Berrey
had
fully
auowed
all
his
dedes
/
the
whiche
he
had
doone
at
his
commaundemente
in
the
countrey
of
Langue
doc.
But
it
was
to
be
supposed
that
fortune
played
her
tourne
with
hym
/
for
whanne
he
thought
to
haue
been
moste
assuredest
on
the
heyght
of
fortunes
whele
/
he
was
tourned
vp
so
downe
fro
her
whele
/
as
she
hathe
doone
a
hundred
thousande
mo
sythe
the
worlde
began
.
Than
Betysach
was
delyuered
agayne
by
the
spirytuall
iudge
to
the
bayly
of
Besyers
/
who
vnder
the
kinge
ruled
the
temperalte
/
the
whiche
Betysache
without
delaye
was
brought
to
a
place
before
the
palays
.
He
was
so
hasted
forwarde
/
that
he
had
no
leysure
to
aunswere
nor
to
saye
nay
/
For
whan
he
sawe
a
fyre
redy
prepared
in
the
place
/
and
sawe
that
he
was
in
the
handes
of
the
hangman
/
he
was
sore
abasshed
/
and
sawe
well
than
that
he
was
dysceyued
and
betrayed
.
Than
he
cryed
out
a
loude
/
requirynge
to
be
herde
.
but
than
was
no
hede
taken
to
his
sayenge
/
but
the
hangeman
sayde
.
It
is
ordeyned
that
ye
shall
dye
/
for
your
yuell
warkes
hathe
brought
you
to
an
yuell
ende
.
He
was
hasted
forwarde
to
his
dethe
/
and
the
fyre
made
redy
/
there
was
also
reysed
a
payre
of
galowes
/
and
therto
tyed
a
chayne
of
yron
/
and
at
the
ende
therof
a
coler
of
yron
/
the
whiche
was
put
aboute
his
necke
/
and
than
the
chaine
drawen
vp
a
hye
and
tyed
rounde
aboute
the
galowes
.
Than
he
cryed
and
sayde
.
Duke
of
Berrey
they
cause
me
to
dye
without
reason
/
they
do
me
wronge
.
As
sone
as
he
was
tyed
to
the
galows
/
there
was
setre
rounde
aboute
drye
segge
/
rede
/
and
●ago●●es
/
and
fyre
put
therto
/
and
incontynente
the
faggortes
were
a
fyre
.
Thus
Betysache
was
hanged
and
brente
/
and
the
frenche
kyng
out
of
his
chaumbre
myght
well
se
hym
if
he
wolde
.
To
this
poore
ende
came
Betysache
/
and
so
the
people
were
reuenged
of
hym
.
And
for
to
saye
the
trouthe
he
had
doone
many
extorcions
and
domages
to
the
people
/
whyle
he
had
the
gouernynge
of
the
countrey
of
Languedoc
.

Than
the

went

erle
of
Vertues
&
to
the
duke
of
Austrych

who
had
euer
holden
with
pope
vrbane
/
that
they
shulde
nowe
cease
/
&
helpe
to
make
rest
and
peace
in
the
churche
/
&
to
shewe
them
by
his
letters
/
that
in
our
faythe
there
ought
to
be
no
varyacion
.
for
as
there
is
but
one
god
in
heuyn
/
so
ther
ought
to
be
but
one
god
in
erthe
.
The
same
season
the
duke
of
burgoyne
was
with
the
kyng
at
Parys
/
to
whom
pope
Clement
&
the
cardynals
wrote
in
lyke
maner
.
than
the
kyng
shewed
his
vncle
these
newes
/
and
was
right
ioyfull
&
saide
.
Fayre
vncle
/
we
haue
had
gret
desyre
to
go
with
great
puissaunce
to
Rome
to
distroy
th
enfidels
/
but
as
nowe
our
iourney
is
well
shorted
/
for
Vrbane
the
antepape
is
deed
/
as
Clement
hath
written
to
vs
/
and
he
thynketh
that
the
cardynals
wyll
nat
entre
in
to
conclaue
to
chuse
any
newe
pope
/
but
rather
to
come
to
Auignon
&
to
submyt
them selfes
vnder
pope
Clement
.
and
we
are
desyred
by
hym
&
by
the
cardynals
at
Auignon
/
for
the
more
suretie
to
write
pleasaunt
letters
to
our
cosins
the
kyng
of
Almayne
and
to
his
brother
the
kyng
of
Hungry
/
&
to
the

Vertues
a
to
the
duke
of
Austriche
.
What
counsayle
wyll
ye
gyue
me
to
do
.
The
duke
of
Burgoyne
sayd
.
Sir
/
trewe
it
is
pope
Vrbane
is
deed
/
but
as
yet
we
knowe
nothynge
of
the
state
of
the
cardynals
at
Rome
/
nor
of
the
Romayns
/
nor
whether
they
wyll
kepe
their
olde
opinyon
or
nat
.
I
feare
it
wyll
be
harde
for
them
to
leaue
it
/
for
the
Romayns
are
maysters
ouer
the
cardynalles
.
Byforce
they
made
them
to
chuse
the
archebysshoppe
of
Bare
/
and
made
hym
pope
/
and
so
maynteyned
hym
to
th
ende
.
And
so
if
nowe
by
perfoce
they
cause
the
cardynalles
to
entre
in
to
conclaue
/
and
to
chuse
a
Pope
at
their
pleasure
.
Wherfore
sir
:
ye
shall
nat
nede
to
entre
so
farre
into
the
mater
/
as
to
desyre
them
that
wyll
do
but
lytell
for
you
/
as
they
haue
shewed
yet
hydervnto
.
Suffre
sir
tyll
ye
here
other
newes
.
And
paraduenture
it
maye
so
be
/
that
the
cardynalles
at
Rome
shall
nat
be
all
of
one
accorde
/
and
paraduenture
wyll
dissymule
with
the
Romayns
/
and
chuse
none
other
pope
but
Clement
.
And
to
apease
their
furour
to
promyse
them
/
to
cause
Clement
to
come
to
Rome
/
whiche
he
wyll
do
right
gladlye
on
that
condycion
.
And
if
the
mater
go
so
than
shall
it
be
tyme
for
you
to
write
to
all
the
princes
christned
/
that
are
of
the
opinyon
contrarye
to
you
/
in
the
best
maner
ye
canne
to
a
voyde
the
Scisme
/
and
to
bring
the
churche
to
an
vnyon
&
peace
/
as
by
reason
euery
man
ought
to
do
.
But
as
yet
ye
be
nat
sure
howe
the
mater
gothe
:
it
is
best
ye
abyde
the
aduenture
therof
.
It
shall
nat
be
longe
or
we
here
other
tidynges
.
WHan
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
hadde
sayde
these
wordes
to
the
kyng
and
to
his
counsaile
/
there
was
none
that
spake
contrarye
therto
.
The
kynge
thought
his
wordes
were
resonable
&
sayd
.
Fayre
vncle
/
we
beleue
it
is
good
reason
that
ye
saye
/
yese
more
clerer
in
the
mater
than
we
do
/
and
as
for
the
busynesse
or
the
Churche
/
we
wyll
do
nothynge
therin
/
but
by
youre
counsayle
and
aduyse
.
Thus
they
cessed
of
that
communycacion
.
Great
murmuracyon
there
was
a
monge
the
clerkes
of
the
Vniuersite
of
those
tydingis
/
wherby
they
cessed
to
rede
or
to
studye
.
And
entended
to
nothynge
/
but
to
herken
and
to
knowe
howe
the
Cardynalles
of
Rome
maynteyned
them selfe
.
Wheder
they
wolde
electe
a
newe
pope
/
or
els
to
retourne
to
the
pope
at
Auignon
.
They
dyde
cast
many
doughtes
and
argued
one
with
another
.
They
knewe
well
howe
Clement
had
written
to
the
kynge
and
to
the
duke
of
Thourayne
and
to
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
/
and
to
the
kynges
counsayle
.
In
lykewise
letters
were
written
generally
to
the
vnyuersite
/
that
they
shulde
conclude
to
an
vnyuersall
peace
in
the
churche
.
Thus
the
clerkes
deuysed
amonge
themselfe
/
and
suche
as
wolde
the
aduauncement
of
Clement
sayde
.
Nowe
it
is
tyme
that
the
kyng
and
the
lordes
of
Fraunce
write
to
the
great
princes
of
Christendome
:
As

to

that
they
shulde

suche

In
thre
dayes
thre
tymes
the
notable
clerkes
of
the
vniuersyte
of

assembled
togyder
/
and
at
last
came

Poules

to

But
whan
they
came

Poules
they
were
nat
answered
/
the
kynge
dissymuled
the

with
them
/
so
that

Finally
the
kyng
contented
them
/
sayeng
howe

they
shulde

and
so
they
dyd

The

Of

Sir

He

Thus

The

brought
with
trompettes

set

I
Shall
nowe
declare
the
maner
of
an
hygh
and
noble
enterprise
that
was
done
in
this
season
by
knightes
of
Fraunce
/
of
England
/
&
of
other
countreys
/
in
the
realme
of
Barbary
.
Syth
I
haue
concluded
the
armes
that
was
doone
at
saynt
Ingylbertes
/
nowe
wyll
I
shewe
of
other
maters
/
for
to
me
it
is
great
pleasure
to
declare
them
/
for
if
pleasure
had
nat
inclyned
me
to
write
and
to
enquyre
for
the
trouthe
of
many
matters
/
I
had
neuer
come
to
an
ende
as
I
haue
done
.
Nowe
sayeth
the
texte
of
the
mater
that
I
wyll
procede
on
/
that
in
this
season
newes
spredde
abrode
in
Fraunce
and
in
dyuers
other
countreys
that
the
genouoys
wolde
make
an
army
to
go
in
to
Barbary
with
gret
prouysion
/
as
well
of
bysquet
as
fresshe
water
and
wyneger
/
with
gales
and
vesselles
for
all
knyghtes
and
squyers
that
wolde
go
in
that
voyage
.
the
cause
that
moued
them
thus
to
do
I
shall
shewe
you
.
Of
alonge
tyme
the
affrycans
had
made
warre
by
see
on
the
fronters
of
the
genouoys
/
and
pylled
and
robbed
their
Ilandes
/
suche
as
were
obeysant
to
them
/
and
also
the
ryuer
of
Genes
lay
euer
in
parell
and
daunger
of
them
of
Auffryke
/
whiche
was
a
stronge
towne
on
the
parties
/
garnysshed
with
gates
/
towres
/
and
hyghe
and
thycke
walles
/
depe
dykes
.
And
lyke
as
the
stronge
towne
of
Calays
is
the
key
wherby
who
soeuer
is
lord
therof
may
entre
into
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
or
in
to
Flaunders
at
his
pleasure
/
and
maye
by
see
or
by
lande
sodenly
inuade
with
great
puyssaunce
/
&
do
many
great
feates
.
In
lyke
wyse
by
comparyson
this
towne
of
Auffryke
is
the
key
of
the
barbaryns
and
of
the
realme
of
Auffryke
/
and
of
the
realmes
of
Bougne
/
and
Thunes
/
and
of
other
realmes
of
the
infydeles
in
those
parties
.
This
towne
dyd
moch
dyspleasure
to
the
genouoys
/
who
are
greate
marchauntes
/
and
by
them
of
Aufryke
they
were
often
tymes
taken
on
the
see
/
as
they
went
or
returned
fro
their
feate
of
marchaundyses
.
Than
the
genouoys
who
were
ryche
&
puyssaunt
bothe
by
lande
and
by
see
/
hauyng
great
sygnories
/
they
regarded
the
dedes
of
the
affrycans
/
and
also
consydred
the
complayntes
of
suche
isles
as
were
vnder
their
obeysaunce
/
as
the
isle
Dable
the
isle
of
Syre
/
the
isle
of
Guerse
/
the
isle
of
Bostan
/
the
isle
of
Gorgennem
/
and
vnto
the
Gulfe
of
Lyon
/
&
to
the
isles
of
Sardonne
and
Finisse
/
and
vnto
the
isle
of
Mayllorke
/
whiche
thre
isles
be
vnder
the
obeysaunce
of
the
kynge
of
Aragon
.
Than
the
genouoys
by
comon
acorde
agreed
to
sende
in
to
the
frenche
courte
/
and
to
offre
to
all
knightes
and
squiers
that
wolde
go
with
them
to
be
siege
this
towne
of
Aufryke
/
to
fynde
them
galees
/
and
other
vessels
charged
with
bysquet
/
swete
water
/
and
wyneger
/
at
their
coste
and
charge
/
so
that
one
of
the
frenche
kynges
vncles
or
els
his
brother
the
duke
of
Thourayn
/
who
was
yonge
and
lusty
/
and
lykely
to

/
shulde
be
capytayne
generall
.
And
the

furthermore
promised

well
furnysshed
/
and
eyght
thousande
of
other

This
the

dyde
bycause
they
knewe
that
there
was
a
trewce
bytwene
Englande
and
Fraunce
for
thre

īquyers
as

WHan

came
first
into
Fraunce
of

/
the

that

tyll

so
to

socour
/
their
request
was
so
reasonable
/
as
to
the
augmentynge
of
the
crysten
faythe
.
Thus
they
were
caused
to

There
to

and
to

soueraygne
of
the

for

and

The
duke
of
Thourayne
of
his
owne
voluntary
wyll
/
offred
hym selfe
to
go
.
but
the
kyng
and
his

wolde
in
no
wyse
agree
therto

sayenge
howe
it
was
no

and
they
consydred

derely
bought

as
ye
shall
here
after
.
ye
shall
knowe
as
it
hath
ben
here
before
rehersed
/
howe
Iohan
erle

to

Their

was
that

and
durynge
the

to

as

to
ayde

ben

and
so
what
to
haue
their
ayde
and
to
auoyde
the
countrey
of
these
robbers
&
pyllers
(
who
had
done
so
moche
hurte
in
the
countrey
/
bothe
to
men
and
women
)
the
sayd
erle
of
Armynake
/
and
the
erle
Dolphyn
his
cosyn
/
toke
gret
payne
in
that
mater
.
And
at
the
instant
requestes
&
prayers
of
the
good
menne
of
the
cyties
and
townes
of
the
playne
countreys
aforesayd
/
so
that
there
was
a
tayle
gadred
in
Auuergne
/
Guynaldan
/
Rouergne
Carnosyn
/
and
in
Lymosyn
/
to
the
some
of
two
hundred
thousande
frankes
/
so
that
poore
and
riche
payed
somoch
/
that
dyuers
solde
&
layde
to
pledge
their
herytages
/
and
were
glad
so
to
do
to
lyue
at
reste
in
their
countreys
.
And
the
good
men
thought
by
reson
of
payeng
of
this
money
/
and
aduoydyng
of
the
sayd
fyue
robbers
&
pyllers
/
that
they
shulde
than
haue
ben
quyte
for
euer
of
them
/
but
it
proued
nat
so
in
dyuers
places
/
&
specially
of
Aymergot
Marcell
and
of
his
men
.
For
after
that
the
castell
of
Aloys
was
yelden
vp
and
solde
by
Aymergot
Marcell
to
the
erle
of
Armynake
/
whiche
fortresse
stode
in
the
herte
of
all
Auuergne
/
this
Aymergot
was
well
worthe
in
redy
money
a
hundred
thousande
frankes
/
whiche
he
had
goten
by
robory
&
pyllage
/
and
by
raunsominge
of
men
/
and
patesynge
of
the
countrey
/
and
he
had
kept
the
rule
more
than
ten
yere
.
Th
erle
of
Armynake
desyred
gretly
to
haue
in
his
company
the
sayd
Aymergot
Mercell
&
thought
nat
to
leaue
him
behynd
him
for
two
reasons
.
One
was
/
bycause
he
wolde
gladly
haue
the
counsayle
&
aduyse
of
hym
/
for
he
was
experte
and
subtyle
in
all
feates
of
armes
/
both
in
sautynge
/
sealynge
/
and
stealynge
of
fortresses
.
The
seconde
reason
was
/
the
erle
feared
that
if
this
Aymergot
shulde
a
byde
behynde
in
the
countrey
/
thoughe
he
hadde
solde
to
hym
the
fortresse
of
Aloyse
and
other
fortresses
/
yet
he
might
do
moche
domage
in
the
countrey
of
Auuergne
and
Rouergne
/
wherfore
th
erle
made
great
labour
to
haue
hym
.
But
alwayes
Aymergot
dissymuled
the
mater
and
said
.
Whan
I
se
the
certayne
of
the
erle
of
Armynakes
departyng
/
than
I
knowe
myne
owne
wyll
is
so
good
that
I
wyll
nat
byde
behynde
.
Other
aunswere
the
erle
coulde
nat
get
of
hym
.
The
erle
of
Armynake
laye
at
Commynge
and
aboute
Tholousyn
/
in
his
countrey
/
and
there
made
his
assemble
/
whiche
voyage
had
been
more
hasted
/
and
the
voyage
in
to
Auffryke
hadde
nat
been
/
that
letted
hym
a
season
/
for
dyuers
knyghtes
and
squyers
that
went
in
that
voyage
had
promysed
hym
/
and
this
voyage
in
to
Barbary
came
so
sodenly
that
it
hyndred
his
voyage
.
Whan
tydynges
was
knowen
in
Fraunce
of
the
treaties
that
the
erle
of
Armynake
had
made
with
the
sayde
capytayns
in
Auuergne
/
there
was
made
as
moche
haste
as
myght
be
to
pay
the
money
to
the
capytayns
.
Aymergot
Marsell
was
sore
dyspleased
with
hym selfe
in
that
he
had
solde
and
deliuered
the
stronge
castell
of
Aloyse
/
for
he
sawe
his
owne
auctorite
therby
greatly
abated
/
and
parceyued
well
howe
he
was
the
lesse
feared
/
for
all
the
season
that
he
kept
it
he
was
doubted
and
feared
/
and
honoured
with
all
men
of
warre
of
his
parte
/
and
had
kept
a
great
astate
alwayes
in
the
castell
of
Aloyse
.
The
patesynge
of
countreys
that
he
helde
vnder
subiection
/
was
well
worth
yerely
twenty
thousande
florayns
.
Whan
he
remembred
all
this
he
was
soroufull
/
his
tresour
he
thought
he
wolde
nat
mynysshe
/
he
was
wonte
dayly
to
serche
for
newe
pyllages
/
wherby
encresed
his
profyte
/
and
than

The

And
there
he
wrote

So

There

IT

Than
Aymergot
Marcell

WHan
Aymergot
Marcell

Guyotdu
Sall
his

had
well
enstructed
this
varlet
/
and
that
the
letters
of
credence
were
written
and

The

was
well
accompanyed

conueyed

to
another
fortresse
ꝑteynynge
to

There
he
toke
a
horse
suche
as
he
wolde
chose
/
for
he
hadde
a
great

.
He
rode
forthe
through
the
realme

Fraunce
lyke

and
so
came
to
Calais

passage

as

So
he
came
to
Douer
and
than
toke
his
iourney
to
London
.
And
it
was
his
fortune
that
the
kynge
of

and
his

and
the
duke
of
Lancastre
and
the

The

His

caused
hym

who
was

there
the

Than
he
drewe

Than
the
varlet
shewed
hym
all

The

herde
hym

demaunded
if

and
he
sayd
that
he

to
his

/
that
is
well
quod
the
duke
/
I
shall
cause
the
to
haue
audyence
.
than
the
duke
went
to
the
counsayle
.
And
whan
he
sawe
the
hour
and
tyme
he
moued
the
varlettes
mater
/
and
by
the
dukes
aduauncement
the
varlet
was

Than
he
delyuered
to
the
kyng
and
to
his
counsayle
the
letters
/
they
were
opyned
and
reed
:
and
than
he
was
demaunded
what
was
his
credence
/
and
the
varlet
who
was
hardy
and
nat
abasshed
/
shewed
the
businesse
of
Aymergot
Marcell
right
sagely
/
and
the
better
assured
bycause
euery
man
gaue
hym
good
audience
.
Whan
he
had
said
as
moche
as
he
wolde
/
than
he
was
answered
/
that
the
kyng
wolde
take
counsayle
in
the
mater
and
make
an
answere
.
Than
he
went
out
of
the
counsayle
chambre
and
taryed
tyll
he
had
an
answere
.
THe
aunswere
was
/
that
the
kynge
wolde
write
to
the
vycount
of
Meaulx
and
also
to
the
duke
of
Berrey
accordyng
as
Aymergot
had
requyred
/
and
in
lykewise
so
promysed
the
duke
of
Lancastre
.
and
whan
the
letters
were
writen
/
there
was
a
gentylman
of
the
duke
of
Lancastres
apoynted
to
bere
these
letters
.
So
they
passed
the
see
/
and
with
them
went
Derby
an
heralde
the
better
to
forther
the
mater
/
bycause
he
was
aquaynted
with
the
lordes
of
Auuergne
/
and
specially
with
the
duke
of
Berrey
.
The
gentylman
of
the
duke
of
Lancasters
named
Herbery
/
went
with
the
better
wyll
/
bycause
the
varlette
promysed
hym
in

Thus

.
And
whan

And

But

For

the

They
concluded
on

and
so
rode

thyde●
they
were
welcome

for
the
haraulde

they
demaunded
where
the

and
it
was
shewed

The

there
before
.
Than
they
departed
fro
Cleremount
/
and
rode
to
Vyore

and
fro
thens
to
Nonect
.
There
is
a
hyghe
mountayne
to
passe
or
one
come
to
the
castell
.
Whan
they
came
there
the
duke
of
Berrey
with
many
other
was
sportynge
without

gate
/
the
harauld
was
knowen
with
dyuers

Than
they
were
brought

who
for
the
loue
of
the
kynge
of
Englande
and
of
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
made
them
good

the

delyuered
his

who
receyued

opened

two

Than

curtesly
and
sayde
.
Syrs
for

in

we
shall
gladly
do
our
power
.
Of
the
which
aunswere
the
squyer
and
the
haraulde
were
ryght
ioyouse
and
thought
than
howe
they
had
sped
all
their
mater
/
but
it
was
nat
so
as
ye
shall
here
after
.
howe
be
it
the
duke
of
Berrey
at
the
begynnynge
dyd
his
deuoyre
to
haue
raysed
the
siege
to
please
therby
the
kynge
of
Englande
and
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
who
desyred
that
the
siege
myght
be
reysed
before
the
Roche
of
Vandoys
/
and
that
the
lytell
fortresse
myght
abyde

&
if

done
any
thyng
to

frenche
kyng
or
his
counsayle
the
kynge
of
Englande
wolde
se
that
there
shulde
be
amendes
made
.
And
the
duke
of
Berrey
bycause
he
wold
acquyte
him
truely
to
the
englysshe
mennes
desyres
/
suche
as
were
in
his
house
/
he
wrote
incontynente
letters
well
endyghted
to
the
vycount
of
Meaul●
/
and
these
letters
were
red
or
they
were
sealed
before
the
englysshe
men
/
who
thought
them
well
ordayned
.
These
letters
were
sente
by
a
notable
squyer
of
the
duke
of
Berreys
to
the
vycount
of
Meaulx
/
who
receyued
them
and
opened
them
.
Than
the
vycount
caused
them
to
be
redde
before
suche
lordes
as
were
there
with
hym
/
whyle
the
messanger
was
a
drinkynge
.
for
they
made
hym
good
chere
/
for
the
loue
of
the
duke
of
Berrey
/
as
it
was
reason
.
Sirs
quod

we
shall
nat
be
in

syth
the
duke
of
Berrey
wyll
beare
Aymergot
who
is
the
man
of
the
world
that
this
twelue
yere
hath
moste
gr●ued
and
traueyled
the
countrey
of
Auuergne
.
I
had
thought
that
the
duke
had
hated
hym
greatly
/
but
it
semeth
nay
/
sythe
he
hath
●rpresly
commaunded
that
I
shulde
departe
fro
hence
.
But
by
my
faythe
at
this
tyme
I
wyll
nat
obey
this
letter
/
but
I
wyll
make
excuse
by
reason
of
the
kynge
and
his
counsayle
/
who
sent
me
hyder
and
at
my
departynge
fro
Parys
he
straytly
commaunded
me
that
for
any
commaundemente
fro
any
persone
/
and
if
it
were
nat
fro
the
kynge
kymselfe
/
that
I
shulde
nat
departe
fro
hence
tyll
I
had
taken
the
stronge
holde
of
the
Roche
of
Vandoys
/
and
Aymergot
therin
/
whiche
I
wyll
do
if
I
canne
/
and
nowe
the

of
Berrey
commaundeth
me
the
contrary
/
for
he
chargeth
me
incontynent
his

that
I
shulde
reyse
the

By

wyll
nat

/
ye
speke
royally

abyde
with

but
we
suppose
the
occasion
that
the
duke
of
Berrey
writeth
thus
for
Aymergot
/
is
that
the
englyssh
squier
and
the
haraulde

thus
desyred
him
to

.
we
thinke
also
they
haue
brought

I

/
for
he
is
so
nere

Syr
quod
the
squyer
/
there
came
to
my

the
duke
of
Berrey
two
men
of
Englande
/
an
haraulde
and
another
/
who
brought
letters
to
my

fro
the
kynge
of

and
they
made

.
I
beleue

well
quod
the

it
was
Derby
the
haraulde
and
a
squyer
called
Herbery
/
they
brought
me
this
other
daye
lyke
letters
/
wherfore
I
suppose
that
the
kynge
of
Englande
and
the
duke
of
Lancastre
wrote
to
the
duke
of
Berrey
in
this
mater
.
wherfore
shewe
to
my

of
Berrey
that
I
desyre
him

well
/
for
all
these
requestes
that
are
come
fro
the
other
syde
of
the

/
are
but
desyres
purchased

which
no

/
for
I

Aymergot

I
had
rather

thanne

.
So
the
Squyer
departed
and
rode
to
Nonecte
where
he
founde
the
duke
of
Berrey
/
and
dyd
his
message
ryght
sagely

the
conclusyon
was
that
the

of
Meaulx
sayde

surely
he
wold

the
siege
before

Roche
of

/
without

With

the

contente
/
he
had
thought
that

WHan

The

haue
great
truste
and
affyaunce
in
you
/
that
ye

Syrs

With
those
wordes
the
Squyer
and
the
haraulde
were
contente
.
Than
the
fourth
day
after
the
duke
departed
fro
Nonecte
/
and
lefte
there
the
duchesse
his
wyfe
with
a
gret
parte
of
his
householde
/
and
so
the
duke
rode
to
Ryon
in
Auuergne
/
and
there
he
taryed
more
thanne
eyght
dayes
/
for
the
erle
of
Sanxere
and
the
lorde
Rule
/
who
were
gone
to
Auignon
aboute
the
dukes
busynesse
.
and
whan
they
were
come
they
departed
fro
Ryon
all
togyther
/
and
toke
the
waye
throughe
Burbonoys
/
and
at
laste
came
to
Bourges
in
Berrey
/
and
there
the
duke
taryed
two
dayes
.
Than
he
rode
to
Mehun
on
the
ryuer
of
yeure
to
a
castell
/
one
of
the
fayrest
houses
of
the
worlde
/
as
thanne
the
duke
had
newly
bylte
it
/
and
it
had
coste
hym
thre
hundred
thousande
frankes
.
There
the
duke
taryed
fyftene
dayes
/
wherwith
the
Englysshe
messangers
were
sore
troubled
/
howbeit
they
coude
fynde
none
other
remedy
.
The
duke
as
than
made
lytell
force
for
the
delyueraunce
of
Aymergot
/
I
shall
shewe
you
howe
and
by
what
meanes
.
So
it
was
the
erle
of
Sanxere
and
the
lorde
of
Rule
who
were
chefe
of
the
dukes
counsayle
/
with
syr
Peter
Mespyn
/
they
in
fayre
maner
blamed
the
duke
/
and
sayde
howe
he
hadde
nothinge
to
do
to
medell
with
the
busynesse
of
Aymergot
/
sayenge
that
his
lyfe
hathe
been
alwayes
dyshonourable
/
and
howe
that
he
was
but
a
false
palyarte
/
and
alwayes
agaynste
the
crowne
of
Fraunce
/
and
had
doone
many
vyllayne
dedes
and
roboryes
in
Auuergne
and
in
Lymosyn
/
and
how
that
he
was
no
mete
parsone
to
be
entreated
for
/
wherfore
syr
quod
they
/
suffre
the
kynge
and
his
counsayle
to
deale
with
hym
as
they
lyste
.
These
wordes
and
suche
other
refrayned
the
duke
of
Berrey
to
speke
any
further
in
the
mater
.
Howe
be
it
the
two
englysshe
men
dyd
their
best
to
remembre
the
duke
.
And
the
duke
dissymulynge
aunswered
them
curtessy
and
sayde
.
Syrs
suffre
a
season
/
we
shall
be
shortely
at
Parys
.
but
for
all
his
wordes
he
taryed
styll
at
Mehun
more
thanne
thre
wekes
deuysynge
with
his
mayster
workeman
:
as
keruers
and
paynters
/
for
therin
he
had
great
fantasy
.
He
had
a
mayster
workeman
called
maister
Andrewe
/
as
than
one
of
the
best
worke
men
of
the
worlde
/
an
Englysshe
man
borne
/
but
he
dwelte
in
Fraunce
and
in
Haynalte
a
longe
season
.
Nowe
shall
I
shewe
you
what
fortuned
of
Aymergot
Marcell
/
and
of
the
roche
of
Vandoys
This
Aymergot
was
a
farre
castynge
man
/
and
whan
he
sawe
that
that
siege
was
nat
reysed
/
he
thought
well
that
the
kyng
of
Englandes
messangers

than
he
thought
on

turne
as
to
departe

and
to

nyght
and
daye
to
speke
with
the
capitaynes
of

and
with

other
gascoyns

bernoyse
in

and
he
thought
that
with

he
shuld
cause

and
to

whiche
shulde
be
worthe
to
them
a
hundred
thousande
frankes
/
besyde
other
botyes
.
Thanne
he
shewed
his
vncle
Guyot
du
Sall
all
his
purpose
/
who
answered
him
and
sayd
.
Sir
I
se
in
this
nothynge
but
good
/
for
otherwyse
we
can
nat
be
delyuered
fro

Well
vncle
qd
Aymergot
I
shall
do

message
my selfe
syth

counsayle
me
therto
/
but
I
shall
desyre
you
of

What
is
that
quod
he
.
It
is
so
quod
Aymergot
/
that
what
so
euer
skrymysshe
that
the
frenche

do
make

issue

no

out
of
the
gates
/
nor
open

/
for

/
ye
may
rather

Sir
quod
Guyot
I
shal
be

we

Well

/

so
ye

your selfes
close

.
Thus
within
thre
dayes
after
Aymer
gote
departed
fro
the
Roche
of
Vandoys
all
onely
acompanyed
with
a
page
/
he
passed
forth
without
daunger
of
the
frenche
men
.
his
entensyon
was
to
brynge
thyder
companyons
aduenturers
to
rayse
the
siege
.
many
of
them
that
were
within
the
house
knewe
nothyng
of
his
departure
/
for
he
myght
departe
whan
he
lost
without
knowlege
.
Euery
day
there
was
skrymysshynge
and
assautes
at
the
barryers
/
and
within
a
fyue
or
sixe
dayes
after
the
departure
of
Aymergot
/
there
was
a
great
assaute
made
by
the
frenche
men
in
thre
partes
.
This
Guyot
du
Sall
was
a
good
man
of
armes
/
and
longe
tyme
had
vsed
the
exercisyng
therof
/
howe
be
it
as
on
that
day
he
fortuned
yuell
by
reason
of
a
lytell
pryde
/
for
he
brake
the
ordynaunce
that
his
cosyn
Aymergot
had
set
or
he
departed
/
for
he
had
charged
hym
that
for
any
maner
of
assaute
he
shulde
nat
issue
out
of
the
barryers
.
At
this
assaute
there
were
thre
squyers
of
the
french
party
/
two
of
Auuergne
and
one
of
Bretayne
/
who
were
skrimysshing
valyauntly
vpon
a
pane
of
a
wall
nere
to
the
fortresse
.
These
thre
squyers
aboue
all
other
that
daye
dyd
moste
valyauntly
/
they
of
Auuergne
were
called
Rycharde
de
la
Violecte
/
and
Lubinet
of
Rochfort
/
and
the
breton
was
named
Monadyke
/
who
was
taken
before
in
Lymosyn
in
the
castell
of
Vanchador
/
&
was
parteynynge
to
sir
Willyam
Butler
.
The
assaute
endured
tyll
nyght
.
These
thre
squyers
atcheued
there
great
laude
and
prayse
/
but
for
all
their
traueyle
&
payne
they
wan
nothyng
.
Than
at
another
assaute
the
vicount
of
Meaulx
made
a
busshment
of
twelue
men
of
armes
and
their
companyes
/
and
layde
them
in
an
olde
house
without
the
fortresse
/
and
commaunded
another
sorte
to
go
and
skrymysshe
at
the
barryers
/
sayenge
I
thynke
surely
we
shall
se
them
within
issue
out
/
for
they
are
couetouse
to
wyn
.
if
they
do
so
/
than
withdrawe
your selfe
lyt●ll
and
lytell
tyll
they
be
past
our
busshment
/
than
they
shall
breke
out
/
and
also
retourne
you
agayne
/
thus
they
shall
be
enclosed
and
taken
or
slayne
.
This
is
the
best
way
that
I
can
se
for
our
aduauntage
.
thus
as
the
vicount
had
deuysed
&
ordeyned
it
was
done
/
they
were
named
that
shulde
lye
in
the
busshment
/
as
Loys
of
Lesglynell
/
Robert
of
Bertencourte
/
Guylliam
de
Saulsoy
/
Pyer
du
saynt
Vydall
/
Guyonet
Villeracque
/
Pier
of
Colle
/
and
Iohn
Salmage
/
with
other
to
the
nombre
of
twelue
.
They
layde
themselfe
in
an
olde
house
without
the
fortresse
/
and
another
sorte
went
and
skrimysshed
at
the
barryers
/
as
Belynot
of
Rochfort
/
Rycharde
of
Violecte
/
and
the
Monadyke
with
other
.
They
were
fresshly
armed
and
aparelled
/
to
th
entent
that
they
within
shulde
haue
the
more
corage
to
issue
out
to
them
/
they
were
also
twelue
alonly
.
Whan
they
came
to
the
bartyers
they
began
to
skrymysshe
but
fayntly
/
and
lyke
suche
persones
as
coulde
but
lytell
skyll
of
feates
of
armes
.
Wherfore
Guyot
du
Sall
made
lytell
force
of
them
/
but
issued
out
and
sayde
to
his
companyons
▪
by
saynt
Marcell
we
wyll
issue
out
/
for
at
the
barryers
be
a
sorte
of
yonge
companyons
/
for
by
that
they
shewe
/
they
knowe
but
lytell
of
dedes
of
armes
/
but
we
shall
teche
them
to
knowe
it
/
they
shal
be
all
our
prisoners
they
can
nat
escape
vs
.
Therwith
they
opened
the
barryers
and
issued
out
/
fyrste
Guyot
du
Sall
/
and
remembred
nochynge
the
charge
that
Aymergot
had
gyuen
hym
at
his
departynge
/
for
the
great
desyre
that
he
had
to
do
dedes
of
armes
/
and
to
wynne
somwhat
/
made
him
to
begyn
the
skrymysshe
.
whan
the
french
men
sawe
that
Guyot
du
Sall
and
his
company
were
come
out
of
their
barryers
/
they
were
ryght
ioyfull
/
than
they
began
to
drawe
backe
lytell
and
lytell
/
and
they
of
the
fortresse
pursewed
them
/
and
they
wente
so
farre
that
they
passed
the
busshment
/
&
whan
they
sawe
their
tyme
they
brake
out
of
their
busshment
/
bytwene
them
and
the
fortres
/
cryeng
Coucy
the
vycount
.
Thus
they
of
the
fortresse
were
inclosed
both
before
and
behynd
.
whan
Guyot
sawe
that
/
he
knewe
well
he
had
doone
a
mysse
/
and
sawe
well
it
was
harde
for
hym
to
scape
/
than
he
reculed
to
get
agayne
to
his
garyson
/
but
the
frenchemen
were
in
his
waye
.
Whervnto
shulde
I
make
longe
processe
/
they
were
all
taken
/
nat
one
escaped
.
They
were
brought
to
the
vycountes
lodginge
before
the
knyghtes
/
who
hadde
great
ioye
of
their
takynge
.
THus
by
the
counsayle
of
the
bycount
of
Meaulx
/
Guyot
du
Sall
and
his
company
were
atrapped
&
taken
and
brought
before
the
lordes
of
Fraunce
and
Auuergne
.
Whan
the
vycount
sawe
Guyot
du
Sall
/
he
demaunded
where
Aymergot
Marcell
was
/
and
charged
hym
to
saye
the
trouthe
/
for
he
thought
he
had
ben
still
in
the
fortresse
.
Guyot
du
Sall
aunswered
/
howe
he
coulde
nat
tell
where
he
was
/
for
he
was
departed
a
twelue
dayes
paste
.
Than
the
lordes
thought
surely
that
he
was
gone
to
purchace
some
ayde
.
than
the
prisoners
were
commaunded
a
parte
/
and
the
vicount
demaunded
of
the
knightes
of
Auuergne
what
were
beste
to
do
with
Guyot
du
Sall
and
with
his
company
/
sayenge
howe
he
wolde
vse
hymselfe
acordyng
to
their
counsayle
.
Than
syr
Willyam
Butler
aunswered
and
sayde
.
Syr
quod
he
/
I
suppose
that
Aymergot
is
gone
for
socour
and
to
rayse
by
the
companyons
in
the
garysons
of
Pyergourt
&
Pierguyse
/
for
he
shall
fynde
some
alwayes
there
to
come
vpon
vs
earely
or
late
/
or
we
beware
of
theym
/
wherby
they
maye
do
vs
domage
/
for
any
peace
or
trewce
that
is
taken
.
This
Aymergot
is
a
subtyle
man
.
syr
let
vs
do
one
thyng
/
shew
vnto
Guyot
du
Sall
and
his
company
/
that
without
they
cause
they
fortresse
to
be
rendred
in
to
your
handes
/
that
ye
wyll
stryke
of
all
their
heedes
incontynente
/
and
without
they
do
thus
let
it
nat
be
spared
.
This
counsayle
is
good
quod
the
vycounte
/
for
in
dede
the
chefe
occasyon
that
we
become
hyder
for
is
to
haue
this
fortresse
/
and
though
we
can
nat
haue
at
this
tyme
Aymergot
Marcell
/
another
season
shall
fortune
ryght
well
.
Than
the
vycount
and
the
lorde
of
the
towre
/
syr
Roberte
Dolphyn
and
other
came
before
the
fortresse
as
nere
as
they
myght
aporche
/
and
thyder
was
brought
Guyot
du
Sall
and
his
company
.
Than
the
vycount
spake
and
sayd
to
Guyot
du
Sall.
Guyot
and
all
other
of
your
company
/
knowe
we
for
trouthe
that
incontynent
all
your
heedes
shall
be
stryken
of
/
without
ye
yelde
vp
the
fortresse
of
the
Roche
of
Vandoys
/
and
if
ye
wyll
rendre
it
vp
we
shall
suffre
you
to
go
quyte
.
Nowe
aduyse
ye
well
what
way
ye
wyll
take
/
other
lyfe
or
deth
.
Of
those
wordes
Guyot
&
his
company
were
sore
abasshed
/
at
last
they
thought
it
was
best
for
them
to
saue
their
lyues
.
Than
Guyot
answered
and
sayde
.
Syr
I
shall
do
the
best
I
canne
that
the
fortresse
may
be
yelden
to
you
.
Than
he
came
to
the
barryer
and
spake
with
them
that
were
within
/
who
rekened
themselfes
clene
dyscomfyted
/
seynge
they
hadde
lost
their
two
maysters
/
and
the
best
of
their
company
.
As
soone
as
Guyot
hadde
spoken
with
theym
/
and
declared
what
case
they
stode
in
/
they
agreed
to
yelde
vp
the
fortresse
condicionally
/
that
they
myght
departe
with
bagge
and
baggage
as
moch
as
they
coulde
cary
/
and
to
haue
respyte
for
a
moneth
to
withdrawe
them
whyther
they
lyste
.
All
this
was
graunted
to
them
/
and
a
sute
saueconducte
made
and
sealed
.
Thus
the
frenche
men
had
the
Roche
of
Vandoys
delyuered
/
by
reason
of
their
good
fortune
of
their
last
skrimysshe
/
wherfore
it
is
comenly
sayde
/
that
all
fortunes
good
and
yuell
falleth
often
tymes
in
armes
/
to
them
that
foloweth
warre
.
WHan
the
Roche
of
Vandois
was
yelded
vp
to
the
lordes
of
Fraunce
and
Auuergn●
they
of
the
countrey
were
ryght
ioyous
therof
and
the
lordes
helde
well
and
truely
the
promesse
that
they
had
made
to
Guyot
du
Sall
▪
whan
they
had
caryed
away
as
moche
as
they
coulde
do
/
than
they
departed
with
good
assuraunce
for
a
moneth
to
go
whyder
it
pleased
them
.
Than
the
vycount
of
Meaul●
abandoned
the
Roche
of
Vandoys
to
the
men
of
the
countrey
/
who
incontynente
dyd
rase
it
downe
in
suche
wyse
that
they
lefte
no
wall
hele
nor
house
/
nor
stone
vpon
stone
/
but
all
was
reuersed
to
the
erthe
.
The
frenche
men
that
were
they
in
the
kinges
seruice
with
the
vycount
/
toke
their
leues
of
the
knyghtes
and
squyers
of
Auuergne
/
so
they
departed
/
and
they
of
Auuergne
and
Lymosyn
went
to
their
owne
houses
.
The
vycount
of
Meaul●
gaue
leaue
to
parte
of
his
company
/
&
he
went
to
Rochell
and
lodged
at
saint
Iohans
Dangle
/
to
kepe
there
the
fronter
/
for
in
the
countrey
there
were
some
pyllers
and
robbers
that
ran
sometyme
in
to
Xantoigne
/
whan
they
sawe
their
aduauntage
.
In
the
maner
and
fourme
as
I
haue
shewed
you
the
fortresse
of
the
roche
of
Vandoys
was
conquered
/
and
rased
downe
wherof
all
the
countrey
was
ioyfull
/
for
than
they
were
in
better
suretie
than
they
were
before
.
For
to
say
the
trouth
if
it
had
contynued
/
it
wolde
haue
done
them
many
displeasurs
.
Tydynges
of
this
dede
came
to
the
knowledge
of
the
duke
of
Berrey
to
Cautelon
/
a
place
of
his
owne
/
standynge
bytwene
Charters
and
Mount
le
Herrey
/
a
nyne
leages
fro
Parys
/
he
cared
nothing
for
it
/
for
he
was
as
than
but
colde
to
are
any
grace
of
the
kynge
for
Aymergot
.
Whan
Derby
the
haraulde
was
infourmed
by
some
of
the
dukes
knyghtes
howe
the
Roche
of
Vandois
was
taken
&
beten
downe
/
than
he
sayde
to
the
squyer
that
came
thyder
with
hym
.
syr
ye
haue
lost
a
hundred
frankes
that
Aymergot
had
promysed
to
you
.
Howe
so
quod
the
squier
.
Surely
quod
the
harauld
the
Roche
of
Vandoys
is
gyuen
vp
and
rendred
/
the
frenche
men
haue
wonne
it
/
therfore
lette
vs
take
our
leaue
of
the
duke
of
Berrey
/
and
retourne
in
to
Englande
/
we
haue
nothynge
here
to
do
.
Well
quod
the
squyer
sythe
it
is
so
I
accorde
therto
.
Than
they
toke
their
leaue
of
the
duke
.
Than
the
duke
wrote
to
the
kynge
of
Englande
and
to
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
and
gaue
to
the
haraulde
at
his
departynge
.xl.
frankes
/
and
to
the
squyer
a
horse
.
Thus
they
departed
and
toke
the
next
waye
to
Calays
/
and
so
in
to
Englande
.
Than
tydinges
came
to
Aymergot
Marcell
where
he
was
purchasyng
of
frendes
to
haue
reysed
the
siege
before
the
fortresse
of
Vandoys
/
that
it
was
gyuen

Whan
he
herde
therof
/
he
demaunded
howe
it
fortuned
.
It
was
shewed
hym
howe
it
was
by
reason
of
a

and
by

At

this

Thus

for

in
Poictou

it
wyll

if

I
shall
be

so
I

I
thynke
the

Thus
Aymergot
Marcell
debated
the
matter
in
hym selfe
/
he
was
heuy
and
sorowfull
/
and
wys●e
nat
what
waye
to
take
/
outher
to
recouersōe
fortresse
in
Auuergne
/
or
els
to
go
to
Burdeaux
&
to
sende
●or
his
wire
thider
/
and
for
his
goodes
lytell
and
lytell
secretely
.
if
he
hadde
done
so
he
had
taken
the
surest
waye
/
But
he
dyde
contrary
/
and
therby
lost
all
:
lyfe
&
godes
.
Thus
●ortune
payeth
the
people
whan
she
hath
sette
them
on
the
highest
parte
of
her
whele
/
for
sodainly
she
reuerseth
them
to
the
lowest
parte
/
ensample
by
this
Aymergotte
.
It
was
sayd
he
was
well
worthe
a
hundred
thousande
frakes
/
and
all
was
lost
on
a
daye
Wherfore
I
may
well
saye
that
fortune
hath
played
her
pagiaunt
with
hym
/
as
she
hath
done
with
many
mo
/
and
shall
do
.
This
Aymergot
in
all
his
trybulaci●s
remembred
hym selfe
/
howe
he
had
a
cosyn
germayne
in
Auuergne
/
a

named
Tourne
myne
/
and
determyned
to

and
to
shewe
hym
all
his
trouble
/
and
to
take
counsayle
of
him
as
he
deuysed
so
he
dyd

He
and
his
page
all
onely
came
to
the
castell
where
Tourne
myne
was
/
thynkyng
to
haue
ben

in

/
bicause
of

/
but
it
proued
contrary
/
for

Whan
he
sawe

it

Than
the
duke

Berey
was
desyred
to
sende

by
the
seneschall
of
Auuergne
/
and
to
be

Furthermore
it

made

sent
to
hym
by
his

wherof
he
was
well
content

and
trusted
on
those
letters
.
Than
with
in
a
shorte
space
after
/
the
seneschall
of
Auergne
by
a
commission
fro
the
duke
of
Berrey
came

Aymergot
Marcell

wherof
Aymergotte
was
sore
abasshed

whan

Wherto
shulde
I
make

the

caried
hym
with
men
of
armes
a
long
through
the
countrey

and
passed
the
ryuers
of
Seyne
and
Marewe
/
by
the
bridge
of
Charenton
/
and
so
fro
thens
to
the
castell
of
saynt
Antonies
.
There
the
Vicount
Darchy
was
charged
with
hym
who
as
thanne
was
capitayne
of
that
castell
.
He
kepte
hym
nat
long
but
that
he
was
delyuered
to

And

Aymergot

thousande

it
wolde

He

After
that

that
he
was
iuged
to

And
soo
on
a

he
was
caryed
in
a
chariot
to
a
place
called
the
Halles
/
and
there
sette

Than
all

trespasses
were
reed
before
hym
/
and
by
hym
was
sir
Wylliam
of
Trune
who
spake
moche

It
was
thought

that
it

Whan
euery
thyng
was
well
aduysed

sette
in
good

by
the
admyrall

of
the
galees

that
wynde
and
wether
serued

euery
lorde
entred
in
to
his
galee
among
their
owne
men
hauyng
great
desyre
to
encountre
with
their
enemyes
the
sarazyns
.
Than
the
trumpettes
blewe
vp
at
their
departyng
.
It
was
great
pleasure
to
beholde
their
ores
/
howe
they
rowed
abrode
in
the
see
/
whiche
was
peasable
/
calme
and
fayre
/
so
that
in
maner
the
see
shewed
her selfe
that
she
had
great
desyre
that
the
christen
men
shulde
come
before
the
stronge
towne
of
Aufryke
.
The
christen
nauy
was
goodly
to
regarde
&
well
ordred
/
and
it
was
great
beautie
to
se
the
baners

penons
of

with

badges
of
the
lordes
and
other
wauyng
with
the
wynde
/
and
shynyng
agaynst
the
sonne
.
And
within
an
hour
of
noone
/
the
christen
men
perceyued
the
hygh
towres
of
the
towne
of
Aufrike

they
sayled
the

it
shewed

/
wherfore
euery
man
reioysed
and
good
cause
why
/
seyng
all
they
desyred
to
come
thyder
.
They
thought
than
in
a
maner
their
paynes
released
&
their
voyage
accomplysshed
.
Thus
as
they
aproched
to
th
entre
of
the
realme
of
Aufryke
/
they
communed
&
deuysed
among
themselfe
.
and
in
lyke
maner
the
sarazyns
that
were
within
the
towne
of
Aufryke
spake
and
deuysed
and
were
sore
abasshed
/
whan
they
sawe
their
enemies
aproche
with
suche
a
nombre
of
sayles
&
sayde
/
that
surely
they
were
lykely
to
be
besieged
/
Howe
be
it
they
thought
their
towne
so
strong
with
towres
and
walles
/
&
with
artyllary
/
that
therwith
they
reconforted
and
toke
corage
.
And
to
gyue
warnyng
to
the
countrey
(
as
soone
as
they
sawe
their
enemyes
on
the
See
/
on

)
They
sowned
Tymbres

accordynge
to

in

that
the

abrode

Suche

as
had
ben
sente
thyder
by
the
kynge
of
Aufryke
/
and
by
the
kynge
of
Thunes
and
Bougy
.
Whan
they
knewe
of
the
Christen
mennes
commynge
/
by
reason
of
the
noyse
of
the
Tymbres
and
tabours
/
to
th
entent
that
they
shulde
nat

Euery

/
to

the
aprochyng
of
the
Christen
men
/
and
to
beholde
their

that
nyght
.
Also
they
prouyded
to
defende
the
towres
and
gates
about
the
hauyn
of
Aufryke
/
to
the
entent
that
by
their
negligence
the
towne
of
Aufryke
shulde
take
no

/
whiche
towne
was
so
strong
/
that
it
was
nat
lykely
to
take
great
hurte
without

siege
.
And
I
Iohan
Froyssart
auctour
of

bycause
I
was
neuer

and
bycause
I
myght
truely

Alwayes
I
desyred
suche

as
had
ben

to

me
of
euery

And
bycause
I
had
been
oftentymes
in

at
Calays
/
I
demaunded
also
of
suche
there
as
had
ben
at
the
sayde
voyage
.
And
it
was
shewed
me
of
a
suretie
/
that
the
sarazyns
amonge
them selfes
sayde
/
howe
the
Christen
men
that
were
there
were
expert

subtyle
men

Whervpon
an

sarazyn
sayd

Sirs
/
all
thynges
consydred
/
it
is
best
that
the
Christen
men
at
the
begynnyng
se
nat
our
strength
and
puissaunce
/
nor
also
we
haue
nat
men
suffycient
to
fyght
with
them
/
but
daylye
men
wyll
come
to
vs
.
Wherfore
I
thynke
it
best
to
suf●re
them
to
take
lande
:
they
haue
no
horses
to
ouer
ron
the
countrey
:
they
wyll
nat
sprede
abrode
/
but
kepe
togyder
for
feare
of
vs
.
The
towne
is
stronge
ynoughe
and
well
prouyded
/
we
nede
nat
feare
any
assautis
.
The
ayre
is
hote
and
wyll
be
hotter
.
They
are
lodged
in
the
sonne
and
we
in
the
shadowe
:
and
they
shall
dayly
wast
their
vitaylles
/
and
shal
be
with●ute
hope
to
recouer
any
newe
/
and
they
lye
here
any
long
season
.
And
we
shall
haue
plentie
for
we
be
in
our
owne
countrey
.
and
they
shall
oftentymes
be
awaked
and
scrimysshed
withall
/
to
their
dommage
and
to
our
aduauntage
.
Lette
vs
nat
fight
with
them
/
for
other
wyse
they
can
nat
disconfyte
vs
.
They
haue
nat
ben
vsed
with
the
ayre
of
this
countrey
/
whiche
is
contrary
to
their
nature
.
I
thynke
this
the
best
waye
.
TO
the
saieng
of
this
auncient
knight
sarazyn
all
other
agreed
.
Thanne
it
was
commaunded
on
payne
of
dethe
that
no
man
shulde
go
to
the
see
syde
to
scrymysshe
with
the
Christen
men
without
they
were
commaunded
/
but
to
kepe
them selfe
close
in
their
lodgynges
/
&
suffre
the
christen
men
to
take
lande
.
This
determynacion
was
vp
holde
none
durst
breke
it
.
And
they
sent
a
certayne
of
their
archers
in
to
the
towne
of
Aufryke
/
to
ayde
to
defende
it
.
The
Sarazyns
shewed
theme selfes
nothyng
/
as
though
ther
had
been
no
men
in
the
countrey
.
The
Christen
men
lodged
all
that
night
in
the
mouthe
of
the
hauyn
of
Aufryke
/
and
the
nexte
mornynge
the
wether
was
fayre
and
clere
/
and
the
ayre
in
good
temper
/
and
the
sonne
rose
/
that
it
was
pleasure
to
beholde
.
Thanne
the
Christen

began
to
styrre
/
and
made
them
redy
/
hauynge
great
desyre
to
approche
the
towne
of
Aufryke
and
to
take
lande
.
Than
trumpettes
and
claryons
began
to
sowne
in
the
Gallees
and
vesselles
/
and
made
great
noise
:
and
about
nyne
of
the
clocke
whan
the
christen
men
had
taken
a
lytell
refresshynge
with
drinke
:
than
were
they
reioysed

And
accordyng
as
they
had
apoynted
before
/
they
sent
in
fyrst
their
lyght
vesselles
called
Brigandyns
/
well
furnisshed
with
artyllary
.
They
entred
in
to
the
hauyn
/
and
after
them
came
the
armed
Galees
/
and
the
other
shyppes
of
the

in
good

.
and
tournyng
towardes
the

ther
was
a

defended

And
in

whiche
was
nat
ydell

but
styll
dyde
cast
great
stones
amonge

.
In
lyke
wise
in
euery
towre
of
the
towne
agaynst
the
See
syde
/
there
were
engyns
to
caste

.
the

had
well
prouyded
for
their

for
they
loked
euer
longe
before
whane
they
shulde
be
besieged
.
Whan
the
Christen
men
entred
in
to
the
hauen
of
Aufryke
to
take
lande
/
it
was
a
plesaunt
syght

felde
/
I
cannat
name
them
all
/
also
it
wolde
be
to
long
a
writyng
.
There
were
a
fourtene
thousande
all
gentylmen
.
It
was
a
companye
to
do
a
great
feate
/
and
to
susteyne
a
great
batyle
/
if
the
sarazyns
had
come
forthe
to
haue
gyuen
them
batayle
/
whiche
they
dyd
nat
/
for
as
on
that
day
they
shewed
no
maner
of
defence
/
but
castyng
out
of
their
towres
great
stones
.
WHan
the
Christen
men
were
lodged
as
well
as
they
myght
/
&
refresshed
them selfes
with
suche
as
they
had
brought
with
them
/
for
they
myght
nat
ryn
abrode
in
the
countrey
to
gather
bowes
of
trees
to
make
with
all
their
lodgynges
/
●or
it
had
ben
to
their
domage
if
they
had
aduentured
themselfe
abrode
.
The
lordes
had
tentes
and
pauilions
that
they
had
brought
with
them
fro
Geane
.
Thus
they
lodged
in
good
order
.
the
crosbowes
of
the
genouoys
were
lodged
on
the
wynges
/
and
closed
in
the
lordes
.
They
occupyed
a
great
space
of
grounde
for
they
were
a
great
nombre
/
all
their
prouisyons
were
in
the
galees
/
and
all
the
day
the
maryners
conueyed
their
stuffe
to
●ande
by
bottes
.
And
whan
the
christen
ysles
adioynyng
/
as
Naples●
Cicyll
/
and
also
the
mayne
landes
/
as
Puylle
and
Calabre
.
Whan
they
knewe
howe
the
Christen
men
had
besieged
the
strong
castell
of
Aufryke
/
they
dyd
what
they
coude
to
vitayle
the
christen
army
.
some
to
haue
aduauntage
therby
/
and
some
for
loue
and
affection
that
they
had
to
the
genouoys
/
fro
the
ysle
of
Caude
came
to
them
the
good
malueysies
in
great
plenty
/
without
whiche
conforte
they
coude
nat
longe
haue
endured
/
for
they
were
a
great
nombre
/
and
good
drinkers
and
good
caters
/
Howe
be
it
their
prouis●ons
came
nat
alwayes
to
them
in
lyke
maner
/
for
somtyme
they
had
plentie
and
some
season
they
wanted
.
¶
Nowe
I
shall
somwhat
speke
of
the
sarazyns
aswell
as
I
haue
done
of
the
christen
men
/
as
it
is
reason
to
conclude
all
thynges
.
Trewe
it
was
that
they
of
Aufrike
and
of
Barbary
knewe
longe
before
howe
the
genowayes
hadde
thretned
them
/
and
they
loked
for
none
other
thyng
/
but
the
same
yere
to
be
besieged
/
as
they
were
in
dede
.
They
hadde
made
prouisyon
to
resyst
agaynst
it
.
&
whan
the
tidynges
were
sprede
abrode
in
the
countrey
howe
that
the
christenmen
were
come
to
Aufryke
they
were
in
dout
/
for
he
is
nat
wise
that
feareth
nat
his
ennemyes
thoughe
they
be
neuer
so
fewe
.
Howe
be
it
the
sarazyns
reputed
the
christen
men
right
valyant
&
good
men
of
warre
/
wherfore
they
greatly
douted
them
:
and
to
the
entent
to
resyst
&
to
defende
the
fronters
of
their
countreys
/
they
assembled
toguyder
of
dyuers
parties
/
as
they
of
the
lande
and
seignorie
of
Aufrike
and
of
the
realme
of
Maroche
/
and
of
the
realme
of
Bougye
/
the
best
men
of
warre
in
all
those
countreis
/
and
suche
as
leest
feared
dethe
.
Thus
they
came
and
lodged
on
the
sandes
agaynst
the
christen
men
/
and
they
had
behynde
them
an
highe
wode
/
to
th
entent
that
they
shulde
receyue
on
that
syde
no
dommage
by
meanes
of
busshmentes
or
scrimysshes
.
These
sarazins
lodged
them selfes
right
sagely
&
surely
they
were
of
men
of
warre
a
.xxx.
thousande
good
archers
/
and
ten
thousande
horsemen
and
mo
.
Howe
be
it
the
Christen
men
coude
neuer
knowe
surely
what
nombre
they
were
for
they
supposed
they
had
a
greater
nombre
lodged
in
the
woodes
/
whiche
myght
ryght
well
be
.
For
they
were
in
their
owne
countre
and
might
go
and
come
in
to
their
host
at
all
houres
without
paryll
or
dommage
at
their
owne
lybertie
.
They
were
often
tymes
refresshed
with
newe
vitayls
brought
to
them
on
somers
and
camelles
.
And
the
seconde
day
that
the
Englysshe
men
had
been
a
lande
/
in
the
mornyng
at
the
breke
of
the
day
/
and
that
the
same
nyght
the
lorde
Henry
Dautoygne
had
kepte
the
watche
with
two
hundred
men
of
armes
and
a
thousande
crosbowes
genowayes
.
The
sarazyns
came
to
awake
and
to
scrimysshe
with
theym
/
whiche
endured
the
space
of
tow
houres
.
There
were
many
dedes
of
armes
atchyued
/
but
the
sarazins
wolde
nat
ioyne
to
fyght
hande
to
hande
/
but
they
scrimysshed
with
castyng
of
dartes
and
shotynge
/
and
wolde
nat
folysshely
aduenture
themselfes
/
but
wisely
and
sagely
reculed
.
the
christen
hoost
than
apparelled
them
to
go
to
the
scrimysshe
/
and
some
of
the
great
lordes
of
Fraunce
came
thyder
to
se
the
deme
anour
of
the
sarazyns
/
therby
to
know
a
n●ther
tyme
their
maner
in
skrymysshynge
.
Thus
the
sarazyns
drewe
to
their
lodgynge
and
the
crysten
men
to
theirs
.
And
durynge
the
siege
the
crysten
men
were
neuer
in
suretie
nor
rest
/
for
outher
euenynge
or
mornynge
the
sarazyns
wolde
awake
them
and
skrymysshe
.
Amonge
the
sarazyns
there
was
a
yonge
knight
called
Agadingor
Dolyferne
/
he
was
alwayes
well
mounted
on
a
redy
and
a
lyght
horse
/
it
semed
whan
the
horse
ranne
/
that
he
dyd
flye
in
the
ayre
.
The
knyght
semed
to
be
a
good
man
of
armes
by
his
dedes
/
he
bare
always
of
vsage
thre
fedred
dartes
/
and
ryght
well
he
coulde
handle
them
/
and
acordynge
to
their
custome
he
was
clene
armed
with
a
long
whyte
to
well
aboute
his
heed
.
His
aparell
was
blacke
/
and
his
owne
coloure
browne
/
and
a
good
horseman
.
The
crysten
men
sayde
they
thought
he
dyd
suche
dedes
for
the
loue
of
some
yonge
lady
of
his
countrey
.
And
trewe
it
was
that
he
loued
entyrely
the
kynge
of
Thunes
doughter
/
named
the
lady
Azala
/
she
was
enherytour
to
the
realme
of
Thunes
/
after
the
discease
of
the
kyng
her
father
.
This
Agadingor
was
sonne
to
the
duke
of
Olyferne
.
I
can
nat
tell
if
they
were
maryed
togyther
after
or
nat
/
but
it
was
shewed
me
that
this
knyght
for
loue
of
the
sayd
lady
durynge
the
siege
dyd
many
feates
of
armes
.
The
knyghtes
of
fraunce
wolde
fayne
haue
taken
hym
/
but
they
coulde
neuer
atrape
nor
enclose
him
/
his
horse
was
so
swyft
and
so
redy
to
his
hande
that
alwaies
he
skaped
.
THe
crysten
men
wolde
gladly
haue
taken
some
sarazyn
to
the
entente
to
haue
knowen
the
state
of
the
towne
and
countrey
/
but
for
all
their
skrymysshynge
they
coulde
neuer
gette
none
.
The
sarasyns
toke
good
hede
to
themselfe
/
and
dyd
pauesse
themselfe
agaynst
the
crosebowes
genouoys
/
they
werenat
so
well
armed
as
the
cristen
men
it
was
nat
their
vsage
/
nor
they
had
no
armorers
nor
metall
to
forge
harnesse
withall
/
for
most
comenly
they
lacke
yron
and
steele
/
they
be
euer
armed
in
lether
/
and
beare
targettes
aboute
their
neckes
couered
and
made
of
Cure
boley
of
Capadoce
/
no
wepen
can
perce
it
and
the
lether
be
nat
hote
.
so
that
whan
they
come
nere
to
their
enemyes
they
cast
their
dartes
all
at
ones
.
And
whan
the
genouoys
do
shote
at
theym
/
than
they
couche
them selfe
lowe
and
couer
them
with
their
targes
/
and
whan
the
shotte
is
paste
/
than
they
caste
agayne
their
fedred
dartes
.
Thus
the
space
of
nyne
wekes
durynge
the
siege
they
often
tymes
skrymysshed
/
so
that
dyuers
were
hurte
on
bothe
parties
/
and
specially
suche
as
lyghtly
without
a
uysement
aduentured
them selfe
.
thus
the
crysten
men
toke
good
hede
to
themselfe
/
and
so
dyd
the
sarazyns
on
their
parte
/
and
the
lordes
of
Fraunce
and
suche
other
as
were
com●
thyder
to
their
ayde
/
gladly
regarded
the
dealynge
of
the
sarazyns
.
To
saye
the
trouthe
to
lordes
of
astate
and
to
gret
men
/
all
newelties
are
dylectable
.
And
if
the
crysten
men
hadde
pleasure
to
beholde
them
/
the
sarazyns
had
as
great
pleasure
to
regarde
the
maner
of
the
crysten
men
/
amonge
them
there
were
yonge
lusty
knyghtes
/
who
had
great
pleasure
to
beholde
the
armure
baners
/
standardes
/
and
penons
/
with
rychesse
and
noblenesse
that
was
amonge
the
crysten
men
/
and
at
nyght
whan
they
were
at
their
lodgynges
they
spake
and
deuysed
.
But
as
it
was
shewed
me
there
was
one
thynge
amonge
them
to
be
marueyled
at
/
I
shall
shewe
you
what
.
THe
sarazyns
within
the
towne
of
Aufryke
had
great
marueyle
by
what
tytell
or
instaunce
that
the
crysten
men
came
thyder
so
strongly
to
make
them
warre
.
It
was
shewed
me
howe
they
toke
aduyse
amonge
them
howe
to
knowe
the
trouth
therof
/
and
determyned
to
sende
to
the
crysten
men
to
knowe
their
myndes
/
and
so
toke
a
truchman
that
coulde
speke
Italyan
/
and
commaunded
hym
to
go
to
the
crysten
host
/
and
to
demaunde
of
them
in
what
tytle
and
instaunce
they
are
come
to
make
vs
warre
/
and
why
they
be
come
so
strongly
in
to
the
empyre
of
Barbary
/
and
in
to
the
lande
of
Auffryke
/
and
saye
howe
we
haue
in
nothynge
trespased
them
.
of
a
trouth
afore
this
tyme
there
hath
ben
warre
bytwene
vs
and
the
genouoys
/
but
as
for
that
warre
by
reason
ought
nat
to
touche
the
crysten
men
of
farre
countreys
of
.
as
for
the
genouoys
are
our
neyghbours
/
they
take
of
vs
and
we
of
them
/
we
haue
been
auncyente
enemyes
and
shall
be
/
excepte
whan
treuce
is
bytwene
vs
.
with
this
message
the
trucheman
departed
/
and
rode
to
the
crysten
army
/
and
mette
fyrst
with
a
genoway
/
and
shewed
hym
howe
he
was
a
messanger
sent
fro
the
sarazyns
to
speke
with
some
lorde
of
Fraunce
.
The
genoway
had
to
name
Anthony
Marthy
/
he
was
a
centuryon
of
the
crosbowes
/
he
brought
this
messanger
to
the
duke
of
Burbon
and
to
the
lorde
of
Coucy
/
who
gladly
herde
hym
speke
/
and
the
wordes
that
he
spake
in
his
owne
langage
the
centuryon
genoway
expowned
theym
in
frenche
.
Whan
this
messanger
had
declared
his
message
/
he
desyred
to
haue
an
anuswere
.
The
lordes
of
Fraunce
sayde
he
shulde
haue
/
but
first
they
wolde
take
aduyse
in
the
mater
.
Than
a
.xii.
of
the
greatest
lordes
drewe
togyder
to
counsayle
in
the
duke
of
Burbons
tent
/
and
concluded
/
and
so
sent
for
the
messanger
/
and
the
genouoy
made
him
his
answere
in
al
their
names
.
Sayeng
howe
the
tytle
and
quarell
that
they
made
warre
in
was
/
bycause
the
sonne
of
god
called
Iesu
chryst
and
trewe
profyte
/
by
their
lyne
and
generacyon
was
put
to
deth
and
crucyfyed
/
and
bycause
they
had
iudged
their
god
to
deth
without
tytell
or
reason
/
therfore
they
wolde
haue
a
mendes
/
and
punysshe
that
trespace
and
false
iudgement
that
they
of
their
lawe
had
made
/
and
also
bycause
they
beleued
nat
in
the
holy
baptyme
/
and
are
euer
contrary
to
their
faythe
&
lawe
.
nor
also
bycause
they
beleued
nat
in
the
virgyn
Mary
m●ther
to
Ihesu
Cryst
.
F●r
these
causes
and
other
they
sayd
they
toke
the
sarazyns
and
all
their
secte
for
their
enemyes
/
and
sayd
howe
they
wolde
reuenge
the
dispytes
that
they
had
doone
and
dayly
do
to
their
god
and
crysten
faythe
.
With
this
answere
the
treuchman
retourned
without
parell
or
domage
/
and
shewed
to
his
maysters
all
as
ye
haue
herde
.
At
this
aunswere
the
sarazyns
dyd
nothinge
but
laugh
/
and
sayd
howe
that
aunswere
was
nothynge
reasonable
/
for
it
was
the
iewes
that
put
Chryst
to
dethe
/
and
nat
they
.
Thus
the
siege
styll
endured
euery
party
making
good
watche
.
ANone
after
the
sarazyns
toke
counsayle
togyder
/
and
determyned
that
a
seuen
or
eight
dayes
togyther
they
shulde
suffre
the
crysten
men
in
reste
/
and
nat
to
make
any
maner
of
skrymysshe
with
them
/
and
than
sodaynly
on
a
nyght
about
the
hour
of
mydnyght
to
sette
on
the
hoost
/
trustynge
therby
to
do
a
great
feate
.
As
they
ordayned
so
they
dyd
/
and
an
eyght
dayes
togyther
they
made
no
skrymysshe
/
and
on
the
.ix.
day
about
mydnight
they
secretly
armed
them
with
such
armure
as
they
were
accustomed
to
/
and
so
came
close
togyder
without
any
noyse
nere
to
the
lodgynges
of
the
crysten
men
/
and
had
enterprysed
to
haue
done
a
great
feate
/
&
to
haue
entred
/
nat
on
that
side
that
their
watche
was
on
/
but
on
the
other
parte
of
the
felde
/
where
there
was
no
watche
kept
.
They
had
come
to
their
ententes
/
and
god
properly
had
nat
ben
agaynst
them
/
in
shewynge
of
apparante
myracles
/
I
shall
shewe
you
howe
.
As
the
sarazyns
aproched
they
sawe
sodenly
before
them
a
great
company
of
ladyes
and
damosels
/
all
in
whyte
colour
/
and
one
in
especyall
who
in
beauty
without
comparison
exceded
all
the
other
/
and
there
was
borne
before
her
a
baner
all
of
whyte
and
reed
within
.
with
this
syght
the
sarazyns
were
so
abasshed
that
they
lacked
spyrite
and
force
to
go
any
further
and
so
stode
styll
/
and
the
ladyes
before
them
.
Also
it
was
shewed
me
that
the
Genouoys
had
a
great
dogge
in
their
company
that
they
brought
with
theym
/
but
they
knewe
nat
fro
whence
he
came
/
there
was
none
that
chalenged
the
dogge
to
be
his
/
whiche
dogge
dyd
theym
great
seruyce
/
for
the
sarazyns
coulde
neuer
come
so
pryuely
to
skrymysshe
/
but
the
dogge
wolde
bay
and
make
suche
brewte
that
he
wold
nat
rest
tyll
such
as
were
a
slepe
were
awaked
/
euery

The

The

season
that
the

stode

in
a
traunce

and
the

before

this

was

the
lorde
of
Coucy
and
sir
Henry
Dantoigne
kept
the
watche
that
night
.
Whan
euery
man
herde
this
dogge
make
suche
brute
they
rose
and
armed
them
redy
/
for
they
knew
well
that
the
sarazyns
dyd
aproche
to
awake
them
.
and
trewe
it
was
that
the
vyrgyn
Mary
and
her
company
was
before
them
/
to
defende
the
crysten
men
fro
all
parelles
/
so
that
they
toke
that
nyght
no
maner
of
domage
/
for
the
sarazyns
durst
nat
aproche
/
but
retourned
to
their
lodgynges
.
And
after
that
the
crysten
men
toke
better
hede
to
their
watche
.
THe
sarazyns
knyghtes
and
squyers
suche
as
were
in
the
towne
of
Aufryke
and
specially
suche
as
had
sene
these
ladyes
/
were
so
abasshed
that
they
wyste
nat
what
to
thynke
.
and
the
crysten
knightes
and
squyers
that
lay
at
the
siege
/
studyed
day
and
nyght
/
howe
they
myght
wyn
the
towne
/
and
they
within
studyed
agayne
howe
to
defende
their
towne
.
The
season
was
hote
and
drye
/
for
the
sonne
was
in
his
moste
strength
/
as
in
the
moneth
of
August
/
and
the
marches
of
Aufryke
are
ryght
hoote
/
by
reason
of
the
sande
/
and
also
they
be
nerer
to
the
sonne
than
we
be
.
And
the
wynes
that
the
crysten
men
had
came
fro
Pulle
and
Calabre
/
and
they
be
hote
and
drye
/
farre
fro
the
nature
of
the
french
wynes
/
wherby
many
fell
in
to
hoote
feuers
.
And
to
consydre
acordynge
to
reason
/
I
can
nat
tell
howe
the
frenche
men
and
other
of
lowe
countreys
coulde
endure
the
payne
of
the
hote
and
grose
ayre
that
they
founde
there
/
without
refresshynge
of
good
/
swete
/
and
fresshe
water
/
whiche
they
lacked
there
.
yet
they
made
fountaynes
and
welles
in
the
sande
/
whiche
dyde
theym
great
pleasure
/
for
there
they
found●
fressh
water
/
how
be
it
often
tymes
the
water
was
sore
chafed
by
reason
of
the
heate
.
And
also
often
tymes
they
had
great
defaute
of
vytaylles
/
and
some
season
they
had
ynough
comynge
fro
Cicyll
/
and
fro
other
isles
adioynynge
.
Suche
as
werehole
comforted
them
that
were
dysseased
/
and
suche
as
had
vytayles
/
departed
with
theym
that
lacked
/
other
wyse
they
coulde
nat
haue
endured
.
they
dalte
eche
with
other
lyke
bretherne
and
frendes
.
The
lorde
of
Coucy
specyally
had
the
chyefe
resorte
of
gentlemen
/
he
coulde
behaue
hym selfe
swetely
amonge
them
/
moche
better
than
the
duke
of
Burbone
/
for
the
duke
was
some
what
of
an
high
corage
/
proude
and
presumptuous
/
nor
spake
nat
so
swetely
nor
so
humbly
to
knyghtes
/
squyers
/
and
straungers
/
as
the
lorde
of
Coucy
dyd
.
Moste
comenly
the
duke
of
Burbone
wolde
sytte
all
daye
without
his
tente
with
his
legges
acrosse
/
and
who
so
euer
wold
speke
with
hym
/
it
behoued
him
to
haue
a
procurer
/
and
to
make
great
reuerence
.
He
consydred
nat
the
state
of
poore
men
so
well
as
the
lorde
coucy
dyd
/
wherfore
he
was
more
in
the
grace
and
loue
of
the
people
thanne
the
duke
of
Burbon
was
.
And
as
it
was
shewed
●e
by
dyuers
knyghtes
and
squyers
straungers
/
that
in
their
opynyons
if
the
lorde
Coucy
had
ben
soueraygne
capytayne
alone
/
they
had
sped
otherwyse
than
they
dyd
/
for
by
reason
of
the
pride
of
the
duke
of
Burbon
/
many
feates
and
enterprises
were
lefte
vndone
.
It
was
the
opynyon
of
many
that
he
kepte
hym selfe
sure
ynough
fro
takynge
.
THis
siege
enduringe
before
the
towne
of
Aufryke
/
whiche
contynewed
a
.lx.
dayes
and
one
/
there
was
many
skrymysshes
made
on
bothe
parties
●abrode
and
at
the
barryers
of
the
towne
.
It
was
nedefull
for
them
within
to
make
good
defence
/
for
against
them
was
the
floure
of
chyualry
and
squyry
.
The
knyghtes
aduenturers
sayd
one
to
another
.
If
we
maye
get
this
towne
with
assaute
or
otherwyse
/
than
we
may
refresshe
our selfes
in
it
all
the
wynter
/
and
at
somer
some
great
armye
of
crysten
men
wyll
come
byther
/
for
ther
by
we
and
they
shall
haue
a
goodly
entre
into
the
realmes
of
Barbary
/
Aufryke
/
and
Thunes
.
than
other
dyd
say
/
wolde
to
god
it
were
so
/
for
thanne
suche
as
shulde
be
lodged
here
shulde
lye
honorably
/
for
dayly
they
shulde
be
redy
to
do
dedes
of
armes
.
They
that
were
within
the
towne
doubted
greatly
the
mater
/
wherfore
they
tooke
great
payne
to
defende
them selfes
.
The
great
heate
and
brinnynge
of
the
sonne
dyd
put
the
crysten
men
to
great
payne
and
traueyle
/
for
whan
they
were
in
harnesse
by
reason
of
the
heate
/
it
brente
them
within
their
armure
.
Marueyle
it
was
that
any
skaped
the
dethe
/
by
reason
of
the
heate
/
for
about
the
myddes
of
August
the
ayre
was
sore
corrupted
.
Besyde
that
there
fell
another
marueylous
incydente
/
whiche
if
it
had
longe
endured
/
they
had
ben
all
deed
without
stroke
So
it
was
that
by
reason
of
the
great
heate
and
corrupcyon
of
the
ayre
/
there
fell
amonge
them
suche
a
sorte
of
great
flyes
/
that
they
couered
all
the
hoost
/
for
no
man
wyste
howe
to
defende
hym selfe
/
and
euery
daye
a
weke
togyder
they
encreased
/
wherof
euery
man
was
abasshed
/
howe
be
it
by
the
grace
of
god
and
the
vyrgyn
Mary
/
to
whome
euery
man
auowed
them selfe
/
on
a
day
dyd
sende
a
remedy
.
There
fell
suche
an
hayle
and
lyghtenyng
fro
heuen
that
it
slewe
all
the
sayde
flyes
/
And
by
reason
of
this
hayle
/
the
ayre
was
brought
in
to
a
good
temperatenesse
/
wherby
the
knyghtes
and
squyers
were
in
a
better
astate
than
they
were
before
.
WHo
so
euer
had
been
in
the
case
that
these
crysten
men
were
in
at
that
tyme
/
it
must
haue
behoued
them
to
take
euery
thynge
in
gree
/
they
coulde
nat
haue
had
euery
thynge
with
wysshynge
/
nor
at
their
demaunde
.
Whan
any
fell
sicke
it
behoued
them
to
be
well
kepte
/
or
els
they
shulde
haue
dyed
/
but
they
were
come
thyder
with
so
good
wylles
and
affection
/
that
they
purposed
honourably
to
accomplysshe
their
voyage
/
whiche
mynde
greatly
supported
them
to
endure
payne
and
traueyle
.
All
thynges
that
was
mete
for
their
complexions
they
wanted
/
for
nothynge
came
to
them
out
of
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
tydynges
nor
other
.
nor
in
Fraunce
they
knewe
no
more
of
them
.
somtyme
there
came
to
the
army
fro
the
cytie
of
Barcelone
in
the
realme
of
Aragon
in
a
galey
prouysion
/
wherin
was
mo
orenges
and
pomegarnettes
than
any
other
thynge
.
These
frutes
yet
refresshed
greatly
the
appetytes
of
the
crysten
men
/
but
whan
so
euer
any
galey
came
to
them
/
it
retourned
nat
agayne
/
what
for
doute
of
the
encountryng
of
the
sarazyns
on
the
see
/
as
for
to
abyde
there
to
se
the
conclusyon
of
the
siege
.
The
yonge
kynge
of
Cicyll
often
tymes
sente
to
the
hoost
vytaylles
/
for
he
was
the
nerte
crysten
prince
adioynynge
.
If
the
sarazyns
had
ben
of
that
strength
to
haue
stopped
the
passage
of
the
see
fro
them
/
and
to
haue
kepte
fro
them
suche
vytayls
and
prouysions
as
came
to
the
armye
/
fro
Pule
/
Calabre
/
Naples
/
and
Cicyll
/
the
crysten
men
had
ben
deed
without
any
stroke
stryking
/
but
they
made
no
warre
but
by
lande
/
nor
also
they
be
nat
of
suche
puyssaunce
on
the
see
/
nother
in
gales
nor
in
other
vessels
/
as
the
genouoys
and
venysians
be
.
For
if
the
sarazyns
be
on
the
see
it
is
but
by
stelthe
/
for
they
dare
nat
abyde
the
crysten
men
/
without
they
haue
farre
the
aduauntage
.
A
galey
with
crysten
men
well
armed
/
wyll
discomfyte
four
galees
of
sarazyns
.
Trewe
it
is
the
turkes
are
of
greater
force
and
better
men
of
armes
/
outher
by
lande
or
by
see
/
than
any
other
secte
of
the
myscreantes
contrary
to
our

but
they
dwell
farre
of
fro
the
lande
of
Aufryke
/
the
affrikans
can
nat
be
ayded
by

The
turkes
had
certayne
knowledge
howe
the
towne
of
Aufryke
was
besyeged
by
the
crysten

/
they
wysshed
them
often

THe
crysten
men
studyed
howe
to
do

in

Beholde

it

They

the

houres
I
shall
bringe

many
to

The
truth-man
resyted
those
wordes
to
the
sarazyn
/
who
be
semyng
had
gret
ioy
to
accept
and
afferme
the
batayle
.
Thus
they
toke
this
enterprise
bytwene
them
twayne
and
departed
/
and
returned
to
their
owne
companyes
.
tydinges
herof
came
to
sir
Guy
of
Tremoyle
and
to
syr
Willyam
his
brother
/
and
whan
they
met
with
Affrenall
they
demaunded
fro
whence
he
came
/
and
what
he
had
done
with
the
sarazyn
.
Than
Affrenall
shewed
hym
all
the
hole
mater
/
and
how
that
he
had
taken
the
batayle
/
wherof
the
sayd
two
knightes
were
ioyfull
and

Affrenall

I
trust
I

Anone
after
Affrenall
mette
with
the
lorde
of
Thune
/
and
shewed
hym
the
aduenture
/
and
demaunded
if
he
wolde

company
.
The
lord
of
Thune
wolde
nat
refuse
but
gladlye
graunted
to
be
one
of
their
company
.
For
euery
one

Whan

of
ten
were
accomplisshed
euery
man
drewe
to
their
lodgynge
to
arme
them
incontynent
to
do
batayle
.
Whan
this
was
knowen
in
the
hoost
/
and
the
knyghtes
named
that
had
taken
on
them
that
enterprise
.
Than
all
other
knyghtes
and
squyers
sayd
.
a
these
ten
knightes
were
borne
in
a
good
houre
/
that
haue
founde
this
day
so
happy
an
aduenture
.
wolde
to
god
quod
dyuers
that
we
were
of
that
nombre
.
Euery
knight
and
squyer
was
ioyfull
of
this
enterprise
/
and
greatly
praysed
the
aduenture
/
sauynge
the
gentle
lorde
of
Coucy
/
who
was
nat
cotente
therwith
.
THe
lorde
of
Thune
was
of
the
company
of
the
lorde
of
coucy
/
he
shewed
him
the
couenante
he
had
made
with
Affrenall
/
to
be
one
of
the
ten
to
fight
with
ten
sarazyns
.
as
many
as
herde
therof
praysed
greatly
that
aduenture
/
but
the
lorde
of
Coucy
spake
against
it
and
sayd
.
Ah
sirs
ye
yonge
people
that
knowe
but
lytell
of
the
worlde
/
but
rather
exalte
a
folysshe
ded
than
a
wyse
dede
.
In
this
enterprise
I
can
se
no
reason
for
dyuers
causes
.
one
is
that
ten
knyghtes
and
squyers
of
our
men
/
all
gentlemen
of
name
and
blode
/
must
fyght
agaynste
as
many
sarazyns
.
Howe
shall
our
men
knowe
whether
they
be
gentlemen
or
no
?
if
they
lyst
they
may
set
agaynst
our
men
ten
rybauldes
or
varlettes
/
and
if
they
hap
to
be
dyscomfyted
/
we
shall
wyn
nothynge
but
ten
varlettes
/
and
yet
we
shall
be
neuer
the
nerer
to
wyn
the
towne
of
Aufryke
/
but
we
shall
thus
put
our
good
men
in
aduenture
.
peraduenture
they
wyll
set
a
busshment
/
and
whan
our
ten
men
be
in
the
felde
to
tary
for
their
men
/
they
wyll
close
them
rounde
about
/
wherby
we
shall
lese
them
and
be
somoche
the
febler
.
There
I
say
quod
the
lorde
of
Coucy
that
Affrenall
hath
nat
wrought
wysely
in
this
mater
/
for
at
the
first
whan
the
sarazyn
dyd
defye
him
he
shuld
than
haue
made
a nother
maner
of
aunswere
than
he
dyd
.
he
shuld
haue
sayd
howe
he
was
nat
the
chefe
heed
of
that
army
/
but
rather
one
of
the
poorest
/
&
where
as
ye
blame
our
faythe
and
byleue
/
ye
are
nat
mete
to
haue
an
answer
made
to
you
therof
by
me
/
but
if
ye
lyst
I
shall
brynge
you
to
the
great
lordes
of
our
armye
/
and
I
shall
take
you
vnder
my
saueconducte
/
that
ye
shall
go
and
returne
in
sauegarde
and
suretie
/
and
the●
ye
shall
here
the
lordes
speke
.
Thus
Affrenall
shuld
haue
ledde
the
sarazyn
to
the
duke
of
Burbone
and
to
the
counsayle
/
and
there
he
shulde
haue
been
herde
at
leyser
/
and
answered
by
good
aduyse
/
suche
defyaunce
in
armes
for
suche
quarell
ought
nat
to
passe
without
great
deliberacion
of
good
counsayle
.
And
than
if
the
batayle
had
ben
agreed
vnto
by
vs
/
yet
it
wolde
haue
ben
knowen
of
them
what
men
by
name
and
surname
shulde
acomplyssh
the
batayle
.
Thervpon
we
to
haue
chosen
other
of
our
men
for
our
honour
and
profite
/
and
thervpon
to
hane
had
of
the
sarazyns
suretie
and
hostage
/
and
they
of
vs
.
This
had
ben
a
more
metely
maner
to
haue
vsed
/
wherfore
if
this
treatie
might
be
withdrawen
with
reason
/
it
shulde
be
well
doone
/
and
I
wyll
go
and
speke
with
the
duke
of
Burbone
/
and
to
take
counsayle
with
the
lordes
of
the
armye
/
and
to
knowe
what
they
wyll
say
therto
.
thus
the
lorde
of
Coucy
departed
fro
the
lorde
of
Thune
/
and
wente
to
the
Duke
of
Burbons
tent
/
where
all
the
barons
assembled
togyder
to
take
counsayle
in
that
mater
.
For
all
that
the
lorde
of
Coucy
had
sayde
these
wordes
to
the
lorde
of
Thune
/
by
maner
of
good
counsayle
and
aduyse
/
yet
for
all
that
he
lefte
nat
/
but
armed
hymselfe
/
and
so
came
forth
with
other
of
his
company
redy
to
fight
with
the
sarazyns
/
and
sir
Guy
of
Tremoyle
the
formest
knight
.
Thus
the
lordes
of
Fraunce
were
in
counsayle
in
the
duke
of
Burbons
tent
.
Some
thought
this
defiaunce
to
be
reasonable
/
and
susteyned
greatly
the
wordes
and
opinyon
of
the
lorde
Coucy
/
sayeng
howe
it
were
better
to
make
a nother
maner
of
treatie
.
And
some
other
/
as
specyall
the
lorde
Loys
erle
of
Arthoys
/
and
sir
Philyp
of
Bare
sayd
.
Syth
the
armes
be
taken
and
accepted
on
our
parte
/
it
shulde
be
great
blame
to
let
it
/
wherfore
in
the
name
of
god
and
our
lady
let
our
knyghtes
and
squyers
furnysshe
their
enterprise
.
This
purpose
was
holden
and
susteyned
/
but
than
all
thynges
consydred
/
it
was
thought
for
the
best
that
all
the
hole
host
shulde
be
armed
/
and
be
in
ordre
of
batayle
/
to
th
entent
that
if
the
sarazyns
wolde
do
any
falsnesse
they
shulde
be
redy
to
resyst
them
.
This
was
accomplysshed
and
euery
man
well
armed
/
and
drewe
in
to
the
felde
in
good
ordre
of
batayle
redy
to
fyght
/
the
genouoys
crosebowes
on
the
one
syde
/
and
the
knyghtes
and
squiers
on
the
other
syde
/
euery
lord
vnder
his
baner
or
penon
of
their
armes
/
it
was
a
goodly
syght
to
beholde
them
.
The
crysten
men
shewed
well
howe
they
had
great
desyre
that
the
sarazyns
shuld
haue
come
and
fought
with
them
.
And
the
ten
crysten
knightes
and
squiers
were
redy
in
the
felde
aloue
of
fro
their
company
/
abydynge
for
the
ten
sarazins
that
shulde
haue
fought
with
them
/
but
it
semed
well
they
had
no
wyll
therto
/
for
whan
they
sawe
howe
the
crysten
men
ordred
them selfe
&
were
redy
in
batayle
/
they
douted
them
and
durst
nat
come
forwarde
/
for
all
that
they
were
thre
tymes
as
many
men
as
the
crysten
men
were
.
The
sarasyns
wolde
often
tymes
come
well
mounted
/
and
skrymyssh
before
the
crysten
mennes
batayle
/
and
than
returne
againe
.
and
this
they
dyd
of
pure
malice
to
put
the
crysten
men
to
payne
and
traueyle
.
This
day
was
so
hote
with
the
sonne
/
that
before
nor
after
there
had
been
no
suche
sene
/
so
that
they
that
were
moste
lusty
and
fresshe
were
so
sore
chafed
in
their
harnesse
that
they
were
nere
ouercome
for
faute
of
ayre
and
wynde
.
And
always
the
.x.
crysten
men
taryed
a
parte
for
the
ten
sarazyns
/
but
they
nother
sawe
nor
herde
tydynges
of
any
.
Than
they
aduysed
to
aproche
the
towne
of
Aufryke
and
to
assayle
it
/
seynge
they
were
all
redy
armed
and
redy
in
batayle
.
And
all
day
to
kepe
their
honour
the
ten
knightes
kept
the
felde
tyll
it
was
night
.
there
went
to
the
assaute
knyghtes
and
squyers
/
desyringe
to
do
dedes
of
armes
/
they
were
hote
and
sore
chafed
/
and
yet
they
traueyled
them selfe
more
and
more
.
And
if
the
sarasyns
had
well
knowen
what
case
the
crysten
men
were
in
/
they
might
haue
done
them
great
domage
/
and
a
reysed
the
siege
/
and
by
lykelyhode
to
haue
had
the
victory
/
for
the
crysten
men
were
so
wery
and
so
sore
traueyled
that
they
had
but
lytell
strenght
/
howe
be
it
they
conquered
by
assaute
the
first
wall
of
the
towne
where
no
man
dwelte
.
Than
the
sarazyns
retrayed
in
to
the
seconde
fortresse
/
skrymysshynge
without
takynge
of
any
great
domage
/
but
the
crysten
men
had
domage
ynough
/
for
in
skrimisshyng
and
assautynge
they
were
in
the
heate
of
the
sonne
and
in
the

tyll
it
was
myght

wherby
dyuers

OF
this
foresaid
aduenture
the
knightes
and
squiers
of
the
host
/
were
sore
displeased
and
abasshed
:
euery

bewayled

at

they
drewe
to
their
lodginges

made
gretter
watche
than
they
had
made

/
for
dout
of
the

:
they
passed
that
nyght
without
any
other
dommage
.
Of
this
aduenture
the
sarazins
knewe
nothyng

for
if
they
had
knowen
what
case
the
Christen
men
had
been

they
might
haue
done

great
dommage
:
but
alwayes
they
feared
the
Christen
men
:
They
durst
neuer
aduenture
to
auaunce
them selfe

by
scrimysshing

They

of

wherby
he
was
moost
fresshest

Thus
contynued
the
siege
before
the
towne
of
Aufryke
.
In
the
realme
of
Fraunce
&
Englande
/
and
in

In

were

made

Thentencion

To
speke
properly

it
was
a
marueylous
enterprice

&
came
of
an
highe
corage
of

gyuen
by
the
king
and
specially
the
kyng
dyde
great
honour
to
the
erle
of
Ostrenaunt
his
cosyn
/
whiche
erle
was
desyred
by
the
kyng
and
his
vncles
that
he
wolde
be
content
to
take
on
hym
the
order
of
the
garter
.
The
erle
aunswered
/
howe
he
wolde
take
counsayle
in
that
mater
.
Than
he
counsayled
with
the
lorde
of
Gomegines
and
with
Fierabras
of
Vertan
bastarde
/
who
in
no
wyse
wolde
discorage
nor
counsayle
hym
to
refuce
the
order
of
the
garter
.
So
he
toke
it
on
hym
/
wherof
the
knightes
and
squyers
of
Fraunce
suche
as
were
there
had
great
marueyle
/
and
murmured
sore
therat
among
them selfe
:
sayeng
the
erle
of
Ostrenaunt
sheweth
well
that
his
courage
enclyneth
rather
to
be
Englysshe
than
Frenche
/
whan
he
taketh
on
hym
the
order
of
the
garter
/
and
weareth
the
kynge
of
Englandes
deuyse
.
He
sheweth
well
he
regardeth
nat
the
house
of
Fraunce
/
nor
the
house
of
Burgoyne
.
The
tyme
wyll
come
he
shall
repent
hym selfe
.
All
thynges
consydred
/
he
knoweth
nat
what
he
hath
done
for
he
was
welbeloued
with
the
frenche
kynge
/
and
with
the
duke
of
Thourayne
his
brother
/
and
with
all
the

in

wyse
/
that
whan
he
came
to
Parys

in
to
any
other
place
to
any
of
them
/
they
euer
made
hym
more
honour
than
any
other
of
their
cosyns
.
Thus
these
Frenche
men
euyll
accused
hym
without
cause
/
for
that
he
had
done
/
was
nothyng
contrary
nor
hurtfull
to
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
nor
to
his
cosyns
nor
frendes
in
Fraunce
.
For
he
thought
none
otherwyse
but
honour
and
loue
/
and
to
pleace
his
cosyns
in
Englande
/
and
to
be
therby
the
rather
a
good
meane
bytwene
Fraunce

Nor
the
daye
that
he
toke
on

the
order
of
the
garter
/
and
his
othe
/
euery
man
maye
well
vnderstande
that
he
made
none
alyaunce
/
to
do
any
preiudyce
to
the
realme
of
Fraunce
.
For
that
he
dyde
/
was
but
for
loue
and
good
company
/
howe
be
it
/
no
man
canne
let

WHan
they
had
daunced
and
sported
them
a

in

and
that
the

Than
euery

of
other

.
Thanne
the
erle
of
saynt
Poule
and
the
Frenche
men
/
and
the
Henowayes
and
almaygnes
departed
.
Thus
ended
this
great
feest
in
the
cytie
of
London
/
and
euery
man
went
to
their
owne
.
Than
it
fortuned
/
as
a
a none
brute
ronneth
farre
of
.
The
Frenche
kynge
/
his
brother
/
and
his
vncles
/
were
enfourmed
by
suche
as
hadde
ben
in
Englande
at
the
sayde
feest
/
of
euery
thyng
that
hadde
been
done
and
sayd
/
nothyuge
was
forgotten
/
but
rather
more
putte
to
/
in
the
exaltyng
of
yuell
dedes
/
than
fortheryng
of
good
dedes
.
It
was
shewed
the
kyng
playnly
/
how
the
erle
of
Ostrenaunt
had
ben
in
Englande
and
taken
great
payne
to
exalte
and
to
do
honoure
to
the
Englysshe
men
/
and
in
helpynge
forwarde
the
feest
holden
at
London
.
and
howe
he
hadde
the
chiefe
prise
and
honoure
of
the
iustes
aboue
all
other
straungers
.
and
howe
he
had
spoken
so
fayre
to
the
Englysh
men
/
that
he
was
become
the
kynge
or
Englandes
man
/
and
had
made
scruyce
and
alyaunce
with
hym
.
And
taken
on
hym
the
order
of
the
Garter
/
in
the
chapell
of
saynt
George
in
Wyndsore
/
whiche
order
was
fyrste
stablysshed
by
kynge
Edwarde
the
thirde
/
and
his
sonne
prince
of
Wales
.
And
howe
that
no
man
myght
entre
in
to
that
confrary
or
company
/
without
he
make
seruyaunt
or
othe
/
neuer
to
beare
armoure
agaynste
the
crowne
of
Englande
.
Whiche
promyse
they
sayd
/
the
erle
of
Ostrenaunt
had
made
with
oute
any
reseruacyon
.
with
these
tidynges
/
the
Frenche
kynge
/
his
brother
/
and
his
vncles
were
sore
troubled
/
and
greuously
displeased
with
the
erle
of
Ostrenaunt
.
Than
the
Frenche
kyng
sayde
.
Lo
sirs
/
ye
maye●e
what
it
is
to
do
for
hym
.
It
is
nat
yet
a
yere
paste
/
sythe
he
desyred
me
that
his
brother
myght
be
bysshoppe
of
Cambrey
.
And
by
these
tidynges
that
gyfte
were
rather
preiudyciall
to
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
than
auauncement
.
It
hadde
been
better
we
had
gyuen
it
to
our
cosyn
of
saynt
Poule
.
The
Heynoways
dyd
neuer
good
to
vs
/
nor
neuer
wyll
:
for
they
be
proude
/
presumptuous
/
and
to
fierse
.
Alwayes
they
haue
owed
better
good
wyll
to
the
Englysshe
men
than
to
vs
/
but
a
daye
shall
come
they
shall
repent
them
.
We
wyll
sende
to
the
erle
of
Ostrenaunt
/
commaundynge
hym
to
come
to
vs
/
to
do
vs
homage
for
the
countie
of
Ostrenaunt
/
or
els
we
shall
put
hym
fro
it
/
and
annexe
it
to
oure
realme
.
They
of
his
counsayle
answered
and
sayde
.
Sir
/
ye
haue
well
deuysed
/
lette
it
be
done
as
ye
haue
sayde
.
It
maye
well
be
thought
that
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
/
whose
doughter
the
erle
of
Ostrenaunt
had
to
his
wyfe
/
was
nothynge
content
with
those
tidynges
/
for
alwayes
he
had
auaunsed
his
sonne
of
Ostrenaunt
/
towardes
the
kyng
and
his
counsaile
.
This
mater
was
nat
forgotten
/
but
incontinent
the
Frenche
kyng
wrote
sharpe
letters
to
th
erle
of
Ostrenaunt
/
who
was
at
quesnoy
in
Heynaulte
/
commaundyng
hym
to
come
to
Parys
to
do
his
homage
/
before
the
kynge
and
the
other
peeres
of
Fraunce
/
for
the
coutie
of
Ostrenaut
/
or
els
the
kyng
wolde
take
it
fro
hym
/
and
make
hym
warre
.
Whan
the
erle
had
well
ouersene
these
letters
/
and
parceyued
howe
that
the
Frenche
kyng
and
his
counsayle
were
displeased
with
hym
/
to
make
his
answere
he
assembled
his
counsayle
.
as
the
lorde
of
Fountayns
/
the

sir
Rase
of
Montigny
/
the
abbot
of
Crispyne
/
Iohan
Sulbart
/
Iaquemart
Barrier
of
Valencennes
.
These
wysemen
counsayled
togider
/
what
answere
might
be
made
to
the
kynges
letters
.
There
were
many
reasons
alleged
/
at
last
all
thynges
consydred
/
they
thought
it
for
the
best
to
write
to
the
Frenche
kynge
and
to
his
counsayle
/
to
take
a
daye
to
answere
clerely
to
all
maner
of
demaundes
/
by
the
mouthe
of
certayne
credyble
persons
/
and
none
by
writyng
.
And
in
the
meane
season
they
sente
certayne
notable
personages
to
the
erle
of
Heynaulte
and
duke
Aubert
of
Holande
to
haue
their
counsayles
what
answere
to
make
.
Thus
they
dyde
.
They
wrote
swetely
and
courtesly
to
the
kynge
and
to
his
counsayle
/
so
that
with
those
fyrst
letters
the
kyng
and
his
counsayle
was
well
content

Than
th

and
his

sent
in
to
Hollande
the
lorde
of
Trassegines
and
the
lorde
of
Sancelles
/
Iohan

.
They
rode
to
the

and
shewed
hym
the
state
of
the
countie
or
Heynault
/
and
the
letters
that
the
Frenche
kyng
hadde
sent
to
his
sonne
the
erle
of
Ostrenaunt
.
the
erle
of
Heynaulte
had
marueyle
of
that
mater
and
said
.
Sirs
/
I
thought
neuer
otherwyse
/
but
that
it
shulde
come
thus
to
passe
.
Wyllyam
my
sonne
had
nothyng
to
do
to
go
in
to
Englande
.
I
haue
delyuered
hym
the
rule
and
gouernaunce
of
the
countie
of
Heynaulte
.
he
might
haue
done
&
vsed
hym selfe
/
accordyng
to
the
counsayle
of
the

Sirs
/
I
shall
tell
you
what
ye
shall
do
.
Go
to
my
fayre
cosyn
the
duke
of
Burgoyn
/
for
it
lyeth
well
in
his
power
to
regarde
and
to
sette
an
order
in
all
thynges
demaunded
by
the
Frenche
kynge
/
I
canne
gyue
you
no
better
counsayle
.
With
this
answere
they
departed
out
of
Hollande
and
came
in
to
Heynault
/
and
there
shewed
what
answere
they
had
/
wherwith
the
erle
&
his
counsayle
were
content

There
was
assigned

that
they
made

shulde

But
finally
all
thynges
concluded

for
all
that
the
duke

Burgoyne
coude
do
/
there
was
non
other
remedy

that
the

his

the
Frenche

The

YE
haue
herde
here
before

howe
the

had
besieged
the
stronge
towne
of
Aufryke
/
by
lande
&
by

:
Settyng
all

howe

howe

shulde

and
specially
of
the
Frenche
kyng
/
who
was
yong

desyrous
of
dedes
of

/
consydring
howe
he
had
truce
with
the
Englysshmen
for
two

to

the
sarazyns
feared
the

/
wherfore
dayly
they
made
prouysyon

refresshed
alwaies
their

with

fressh
men

hardy

accordynge

Thus
the

after

hadde
suffred

coulde
nat
se
howe
to

reuenged

Than
many
of

beganne

sayenge
we

therby

They
be

haue
vytayles

at

and
that
we
haue
is
with
great
daunger
and

What
shall

thynke

?
if
we

all

/
longe

colde
nyghtes
/
we
shal
be
morfounded
and
frosen

Thus
we
shall
be
in

herde

first
in

no

dare
take
the

cruell

tyrryble

for
the

lacke
vytayles

togyther

and
that
the
see
wolde
suffre
none
to

we
were
all

Secondly
though
it
were
so
that
we
had
vytayles
and
all
thynges
necessary
with
out
daunger
/
yet
howe
coulde
our

endure
the
payne
and
traueyle
contynually
to

euery
night
.
the
parell
and
aduenture
is
ouer

for

to
beare
/
for
our

who
be
in

/
and
knowe
the

/
may
come
by
nyght
and
assayle
vs
to
their
great
aduauntage
/
and
do
vs
great
domage
/
as
they
haue
done
all
redy
.
Thyrdly
if
for
faute
of
good
ayre
&
of
swete
fresshe
meates
/
wherwith
we
haue
been
norysshed
/
that
mortalyte
hap

/
we

dye
euery

A

Thus
they

and
toke
the
see
in
the
syght
of
the
sarazyns
that

Whan

And
there
they

were
so

that
they
had

nothynge
behynde
that

There
the

to

howe
the
crysten

they
had
made
so

And
whan

a

on

some

made

sayenge
howe
the
crysten
men
durst
abyde
there
no
lengar
/
and
sayd
howe
their
puissaunce
was
nothynge
to
regarde
/
and
that
they
wolde
neuer
more
sette
somoche
by
the
frenche
men
nor
by
the
genouoys
/
as
they
had
done
before
.
and
of
this
they
sayd
trouth
/
I
shall
tell
you
howe
&
wherfore
.
AFter
that
this
siege
was
thus
contynued
/
as
I
was
enfourmed
the
sarazins
waxed
proude
/
for
they
sawe
well
howe
the
genouoys
had
done
their
full
power
to
hurte
and
to
anoy
them
/
and
they
sawe
that
this
voyage
was
to
their
great
coste
/
and
yet
had
won
but
lytell
/
whiche
was
of
trouthe
.
And
all
that
season
the
sarazyns
knewe
nothing
of
the
deth
of
so
many
crysten
knyghtes
and
squyers
as
were
slayne
at
the
great
skrymysshe
/
but
the
same
day
that
the
crysten
men
departed
/
they
had
knowledge
therof
/
and
I
shall
shewe
you
by
what
meanes
.
The
sarazyns
founde
in
the
felde
a
varlet
of
the
genouoys
/
lyenge
on
the
grounde
sore
sycke
of
the
hote
feuer
/
and
was
nat
able
to
go
to
the
galees
whan
his
felowes
departed
.
And
of
the
fyndynge
of
this
varlet
/
the
sarazyns
were
ryght
ioyfull
/
and
brought
him
before
their
lordes
/
and
shewed
howe
they
had
founde
hym
/
than
a
trucheman
was
set
to
here
his
examynacion
.
In
the
begynnynge
he
wolde
shewe
nothyng
/
for
he
reekened
himselfe
but
deed
/
and
he
desyred
the
sarazyns
incontynent
that
they
wolde
put
hym
to
deth
.
than
the
lordes
of
the
hoost
/
as
Agadingor
Dolyferne
/
Brahadyn
of
Thunes
/
and
dyuers
other
/
thought
if
they
shulde
cause
hym
to
dye
they
shulde
wyn
nothyng
therby
/
yet
rather
to
saue
his
lyfe
/
so
that
he
wolde
shewe
the
trouthe
of
that
he
shulde
be
demaunded
.
Than
it
was
shewed
hym
that
if
he
wolde
without
lyenge
shewe
the
trouth
/
his
lyfe
shulde
be
saued
/
and
to
be
delyuered
franke
and
free
/
and
sent
into
his
owne
countrey
by
the
first
shyp
that
shulde
come
thence
/
outher
in
to
the
lande
of
Geneue
or
Marcyll
/
and
also
that
he
shulde
haue
gyuen
to
hym
a.
C.
besantes
of
golde
.
Whan
the
varlet
who
feared
dethe
herde
this
promesse
he
was
well
comforted
/
for
he
knew
well
what
so
euer
the
sarazyns
promyse
by
their
faythe
shulde
be
truely
kepte
/
and
also
ye
knowe
well
naturally
euery
man
is
lothe
to
dye
.
Than
he
said
to
the
truchman
.
cause
the
lordes
to
swere
on
their
lawe
to
vpholde
all
that
ye
sayd
/
and
than
shall
I
aunswere
you
to
all
that
I
shal
be
examyned
of
/
as
farre
forth
as
I
knowe
.
The
trucheman
shewed
this
to
the
lordes
/
and
they
made
faythfull
promesse
by
their
fayth
to
fullfyll
their
promesse
.
Than
the
varlet
sayd
.
nowe
demaund
what
ye
wyll
/
and
I
shall
answere
.
Than
firste
he
was
demaunded
of
whence
he
was
.
He
answered
and
sayd
/
he
was
of
Portnances
.
Than
they
demaunded
of
hym
of
the
feates
of
the
frenche
men
that
had
been
at
the
siege
.
He
named
to
them
dyuers
/
for
he
hadde
kepte
often
tymes
company
with
harauldes
/
by
whome
he
had
lerned
dyuers
of
their
names
.
Than
they
desyred
to
knowe
the
occasion
why
they
departed
so
sodaynely
fro
the
siege
.
wher
to
he
answered
wysely
and
sayd
.
As
for
that
I
can
nat
tell
/
but
by
supposynge
/
and
acordyng
as
I
haue
herde
spoken
in
our
host
/
as
for
me
I
was
neuer
a
counsayle
with
the
lordes
.
but
as
the
brute
went
/
the
frenchmen
were
in
doute
of
the
genouoys
that
they
shulde
betray
them
/
and
the
genouoys
denyed
it
and
sayd
/
they
neuer
thought
it
nor
neuer
wolde
/
and
blamed
the
frenchmen
that
they
shulde
so
slaunder
them
.
Also
it
was
sayd
that
parte
of
the
occasyon
of
their
departure
was
bycause
the
wynter
druenere
/
and
they
were
afrayde
of
taking
of
suche
domage
as
they
had
receyued
before
.
what
domage
was
that
quod
the
lordes
.
Syrs
qd
he
/
the
same
daye
that
ten
of
our
men
shulde
haue
fought
with
ten
of
yours
/
they
lost
about
a
.lx.
knightes
and
squiers
of
name
and
armes
/
the
genouoys
sayd
for
that
cause
they
departed
.
They
beleued
well
the
varlet
/
of
whiche
newes
the
lordes
sarazyns
had
great
ioye
.
They
enquered
of
hym
no
further
/
but
vphelde
to
him
all
their
promesses
/
&
so
he
retourned
to
Portnances
and
to
Geane
/
and
shewed
all
this
aduenture
/
and
what
he
had
said
and
herde
/
and
he
receyued
no
blame
therof
.
Than
the
sarazyns
sayd
amonge
them selfe
/
they
shulde
nat
nede
to
care
for
the
frenche
men
nor
for
the
genouoys
of
a
longe
season
after
/
and
said
howe
before
the
towne
of
Aufryke
they
had
taken
no
profyte
/
howe
be
it
they
sayde
they
wolde
take
better
hede
to
their
portes
and
hauens
and
the
see
costes
of
their
Realmes
/
and
specyally
to
the
straytes
of
Marroke
they
set
sure
watche
/
that
the
genouoys
nor
venysians
shulde
nat
passe
that
wayes
in
to
Englande
/
nor
in
to
Flaunders
/
with
their
marchaundyses
/
without
payenge
of
a
great
trybute
/
and
yet
that
to
be
by
greate
grace
and
lycence
.
Thus
the
sarazyns
assembled
and
alyed
them
togythers
of
dyuers
realmes
/
as
of
Aufryke
/
Thunes
/
Bogy
/
Martoke
/
Belmaryn
/
Tremessyans
/
&
Granade
/
all
agreed
togyder
to
kepe
straytly
their
portes
and
passages
/
and
to
sette
galees
armed
on
the
see
to
a
great
nombre
/
to
the
entent
to
be
lordes
and
maisters
of
the
see
.
and
all
this
they
dyd
for
the
great
hatred
that
they
had
to
the
frenchmen
and
genouoys
/
bycause
they
had
ben
at
the
siege
before
Aufryke
.
thus
they
dyd
great
trouble
to
the
goers
and
commers
on
the
see
/
so
that
moche
yuell
and
myschefe
grewe
therby
/
for
by
meanes
that
the
sarazyns
were
thus
lordes
of
the
see
/
suche
marchaundyses
as
came
fro
Dammas
/
fro
Cayrel
fro
Alexaunder
/
fro
Venyce
/
fro
Naples
/
and
fro
Geane
/
were
in
that
season
so
dere
in
Flaunders
and
so
scarce
/
that
many
thynges
coulde
nat
be
gotte
/
nouther
for
golde
no
syluer
/
and
specially
all
spycery
was
wonderfull
dere
and
gayson
.
YE
haue
herd
here
before
howe
the
crysten
men
departed
for
the
siege
of
Aufryke
.
They
all
passed
the
see
/
but
all
aryued
nat
at
one
porte
/
for
some
were
so
sore
tourmented
on
the
see
/
that
they
retourned
in
great
daunger
/
howe
be
it
some
of
theym
returned
to
Geane
.
Processyons
were
made
in
Fraunce
for
their
good
spede
/
for
there
was
no
tydynges
herde
of
them
.
The
lady
of
Coucy
/
the
lady
of
Sulley
/
the
lady
Dolphyn
of
Auuergne
/
and
other
ladyes
of
Fraunce
/
who
had
their
husbandes
in
this
voyage
were
in
great
sorowe
/
as
longe
as
the
voyage
endured
.
and
whan
tydynges
came
howe
they
were
passed
the
see
/
they
were
ryght
ioyfull
.
The
duke
of
Burbone
and
the
lorde
of
Coucy
retourned
priuely
/
and
lefte
behynde
them
all
their
caryage
and
trayne
/
and
so
they
came
to
Parys
aboute
saynte
Martyns
tyde
in
wynter
.
The
frenche
kynge
was
ioyouse
of
their
comynge
/
as
it
was
reason
/
and
demaunded
of
them
tydinges
of
Barbary
/
and
of
their
voyage
.
they
shewed
al
that
they
knewe
/
and
had
herde
and
sene
.
The
kynge
and
the
duke
of
Thourayne
were
glad
to
here
them
speke
.
Than
the
kyng
sayd
/
if
we
can
bringe
it
aboute
to
make
peace
in
the
churche

and
bytwene

Englande
/
we
shall
gladly
make
a

with
an

royall
in
to
those
parties
/
to
exalte
the
crysten
fayth
/
and
to
confounde
the
infydels
and
to
acquyte
the
dedes
of
our
predecessours
/
as
kyng
Ppilyp
and

for
they
bothe
eche

other
tooke
on
them
the
crossey
/
to

gone
to
the
holy

/
and
they
had
gone

if
the
warres
had
nat
fallen
in
their
realme
.
In
lyke
wyse
we
wolde
gladly
make
suche

.
Thus
the
Frenche
kynge
comuned
with
these
lordes
/
and
so
the
day
passed
/
and
lytell
and
lytell
men

So
it
fell

aboute

Andrewe
/
and
that
all
knyghtes
and
squyers

The

where

At

/
pope

For
I

so
shall
I
write
to
my

th
erle
of
Armynake
.
So
be
it
quod
sir
Raymonde
.
Thus
they
were
toguyder
all
a
hole
daye
.
Thanne
sir
Bernarde
departed
and
passed
the
ryuer
of
Rosne
at
the
bridge
.
Saynt
Espyrite
/
and
so
retourned
in
to
Query
and
in
to
Rouergue
by
the
mountayns
/
and
so
came
thyder
as
he
wolde
be
/
and
lefte
the
erle
of
Armynake
his
brother
alone
with
his
warre
/
against
the
duke
of
Myllayne
erle
of
Vertues
.
Or
he
departed
fro
Bolonge
he
wrote
to
his
brother
all
the
newes
that
he
knewe
/
and
the
answere
of
sir
Raymonde
of
Thourayne
.
The
erle
of
Armynake
receyued
the
letters
in
the
waye
goyng
to
the
cytie
of
Gappe
.
He
redde
the
letters
/
and
so
passed
forthe
and
made
no
great
force
of
the
matter
.
WE
wyll
contynue
to
speke
of
the
yonge
erle
of
Armynacke
and
shewe
his
feate
/
or
I
speke
of
any
other
mater
.
And
thus
I
say
The
good
loue
and
great
affection
that
he
had
to
conforte
his
suster
&
brother
in
lawe
her
husbande
/
whom
the
erle
of
Vertues
/
who
called
hym selfe
lorde
of
Myllaygne
falsely
disheryted
withoute
cause
or
tytell●
caused
the
erle
ioyously
to
passe
in
his
iourney
as
farre
as
Pyemount
in
Lombardy
.
There
was
two
great
reasons
that
caused
the
erle
of
Armynake
to
assemble
/
and
to
make
that
iourney
at
that
tyme
.
The
fyrste
was
/
that
the
realme
of
Fraunce
therby
was
clene
rydde
of
the
routes
of
these
companyons
/
that
hadde
done
moche
hurte
in
the
reaime
/
and
therby
the
countreys
better
assured
than
they
were
before
.
The
seconde
reason
was
to
ayde
his
suster
/
for
he
had
great
pytie
that
she
and
her
husbande
shulde
lese
their
herytage
/
wherby
they
shulde
lyue
and
maynteyne
their
estate
/
and
for
these
consyderacions
he
toke
on
hym
this
enterprice
.
The
capitayns
of
the
companyons
sayde
one
to
another
.
Lette
vs
ryde
forthe
merily
agaynst
these
lombardꝭ
/
we
haue
a
good
quarell
and
a
inste
tytell
/
and
we
haue
a
good
capitayne
/
wherby
our
warre
shal
be
moche
the
better
.
And
also
we
shall
go
in
to
the
best
countrey
of
all
the
worlde
/
for
Lombardy
receyueth
fro
all
costes
the
fatnesse
of
the
worlde
:
and
the
e
lombardes
be
naturally
euer
riche
and
cowardes
:
We
shall
attayne
agaynst
theym
moche
profyte
:
There
is
none
of
vs
that
be
capitayns
/
but
that
shall
retourne
so
ryche
/
that
we
shall
neuer
nede
to
make
warre
more
agaynst
any
man
.
Thus
the
companyons
de
used
one
with
another
/
and
whan
they
came
in
to
a
plentuous
countrey
/
there
they
wolde
tary
a
season
to
refresshe
them
and
their
horses
.
In
the
same
season
the
good
abuēturous
fought
of
Englande
sir
Iohan
Hacton
was
in
the
marchesse
of
Florence
/
and
made
warre
agaynst
the
florentyns
/
in
the
quarell
of
pope
Bonyface
of
Rome
/
for
they
were
rebell
agaynst
the
popes
commaundement
/
and
so
were
also
the
Perusyns
.
The
erle
of
Armynake
thought
that
if
he
might
get
this
Englysshe
knyght
to
take
parte
with
hym
/
he
shulde
haue
a
great
treasure
of
hym
/
bycause
of
his
wysedome
&
valyauntnesse
.
The
erle
wrote
to
hym
/
signyfieng
hym
all
the
hole
mater
of
his
enterprice
/
desyringe
hym
of
his
ayde
.
Whiche
letter
was
sente
by
a
discrete
person
to
sir
Iohan
Hacton
beyng
in
the
marchesse
of
Florence
/
and
had
a
two
thousande
fyghtynge
men
.
He
receyued
the
letter
and
redde
it
.
And
whan
he
hadde
well
vnderstande
all
the
substaunce
therof
he
was
ryght
ioyfull
/
and
aunswered
and
sayde
.
That
his
owne
warre
ones
atchyued
/
he
wolde
do
nothyng
after
/
tyll
he
were
in
the
company
of
the
erle
of
Armynake
.
The
messanger
sayde
.
Sir
ye
saye
well
/
I
requyre
you
write
your
mynde
to
my
lorde
the
erle
of
Armynake
/
he
wyll
the
better
beleue
it
.
With
ryght
a
good
wyll
sir
quod
the
knight
/
it
is
reason
that
I
so
do
.
Than
the
Englysshe
knyght
wrote
/
and
delyuered
the
letter
to
the
messangere
/
who
retourned
and
came
agayne
to
his
lorde
/
and
founde
hym
as
than
in
the
marchesse
of
Pyneroll
/
where
was
gret
treatie
bitwene
hym
and
the
Marques
of

/
who
shulde
be
alyed
with
hym
/
to
ayde
him
in
his
warre
agaynst
the
duke
of
Myllayne
erle
of
Vertues
.
THe
tidynges
that
the
erle
of
Armynackes
Squyer
brought
to
hym
fro
sir
Iohan
Hacton
/
and
of
the
Wordes
that
were
written
within
the
letter
/
The
Erle
was
greatly
reioysed
and
sayd
.
that
he
trusted
to
make
suche
warre
to
the
duke
of
Myllayne
/
that
he
wolde
bring
hym
to

or

Whan
all

And
also
great
prouisyon
came
to

out

and
out
of

of
Sauoy
.
Many
folkes
greatly
enclyned
to
the
erle
of
Armynake
/
bycause
they
sawe
his
quarell
was
good

iust

and
also
bycause
the
erle
of
Vertues
had
caused
to

sir
Bernabo
for
enuy
/
to
sette

wherof
many
great
lordes
/
thoughe
they
spake
but
lytell
therof
/
yet
they
hadde
great
pytie
of
the
case
.
Whyle
the
erle
laye
thus
at
siege
before
Aste
/
he
herde
tidynges
of
sir
Iohn
Hacton
/
wherof

The
tidynges
was

that

And

Whan

there

It
was
on
saynte
Christofers
daye

and
the
daye
was
so
hoote
that
suche

they
had
ben
in
a
furnes
/
the

was
so
faynt
with
out
wynde
/
so
that
the
lustyest
they
had
moche
a
do
to
do
any
feate

.
The
partye
of
Myllayne
were
thre
agaynst

.
The
duste

the

was
so
great
that
they
coulde
scante

and
specially
they
of
the
erle
of
Armynakes
parte
.
There
fell
to
the
erle
a
great
aduenture
/
he
was
so
oppressed
with
heate
/
that
he
was
so
feble
that
he
coulde
scant
helpe
him selfe
/
so
that
he
drewe
aparte
out
on
the
one
syde
of
the
felde
and
no

/
and
there
founde
a

wherby

coled
so

that
he
was
faynter
thanne
he
was
before
/
and
fell
in
a
paluesy
/
so
that
he
lost
the
strength
of
his
body
and
speche
/
and
his
men
had
loste

.
there
were
many
taken
.
After
a
knight
of
the
duke
of
Millayns
founde
the
erle
of
Armynake
.
Whan
he
sawe
hym
he
had
meruayle
what
he
was
/
he
parceyued
wel
he
was
a
knyght
&
a
man
of
honour
.
Than
the
knight
said
.
Sir
who
be
you
?
yelde
you
ye
are
my
prysoner
.
The
erle
vnderstode
hym
nat
/
nor
he
coulde
nat
speke
/
but
he
helde
vp
his
hande
/
and
made
token
to
yelde
hym
.
The
knyght
wolde
haue
hadde
hym
to
ryse
/
but
he
coulde
nat
.
The
knyght
taryed
styll
with
him
whyle
other
dyd
fyght
/
in
the
whiche
batayle
many
a
feate
of
armes
was
done
.
WHan
syr
Iaques
de
la
Bierne
who
was
a
sage
knyght
/
sawe
howe
the
iourney
was
good
for
his
party
/
and
howe
that
a
gret
nombre
of
his
enemyes
were
taken
and
slayne
/
and
also
sawe
well
that
his
owne
men
world
●ery
/
and
that
his
enemyes
began
to
multyply
with
fresshe
men
/
than
he
reculed
towarde
the
cytie
skrymysshynge
and
defendynge
.
The
knyght
that
had
taken
the
erle
of
Armynake
/
thought
nat
to
leaue
hym
behynde
/
for
he
thought
surely
he
was
some
man
of
honoure
/
and
desyred
his
company
to
ayde
hym
/
to
beare
his
prisoner
in
to
the
towne
promysynge
them
to
haue
parte
of
his
raunsome
.
They
dyd
so
/
and
with
moche
payne
brought
him
in
to
the
cyte
/
and
was
vnarmed
and
layde
in
a
bedde
.
Than
syr
Iaques
de
la
Bierne
entred
in
to
the
cytie
and
toke
his
lodgynge
and
vnarmed
hym
/
and
refresshed
him
and
his
company
.
And
whan
the
erle
of
Armynacke
was
myst
in
the
hoost
without
/
they
were
sore
dysmayed
/
and
wyst
nat
what
to
say
nor
do
/
and
some
came
to
the
place
where
the
batayle
had
ben
to
seke
for
hym
/
and
returned
agayne
clene
dyscomfyted
.
The
knyght
that
had
taken
the
erle
of
Armynake
had
great
desyre
to
know
what
man
his
prisoner
was
/
and
came
to
another
squyer
that
was
in
lykewyse
taken
prisoner
a
gascon
/
desyringe
his
mayster
to
suffre
hym
to
go
with
hym
to
his
lodgynge
.
so
they
went
togyder
.
The
lombarde
knyght
led
the
squyer
of
Fraunce
in
to
a
chambre
/
and
brought
hym
to
the
bedde
where
the
erle
of
Armynake
lay
sore
complaynyng
/
and
caused
torches
to
be
lyghted
vp
/
and
than
said
to
the
french
squyer
.
Sir
/
knowe
you
nat
this
man
?
The
squyer
regarded
hym
well
&
sayd
/
I
knowe
hym
well
for
I
ought
so
to
do
/
it
is
our
capitayne
the
erle
of
Armynake
.
With
the
whiche
wordes
the
lombarde
was
ioyfull
/
but
the
Erle
was
so
sycke
that
he
vnderstode
nothynge
that
was
sayd
to
hym
.
Than
his
mayster
sayd
/
go
we
hence
let
hym
rest
.
Thus
they
left
him
/
and
the
same
nyght
he
dyed
/
and
passed
this
transitory
lyfe
.
The
next
day
whan
it
was
knowen
that
the
erle
of
Armynake
was
deed
in
Alexaunder
in
his
bedde
/
syr
Iaques
of
Bierne
wolde
nat
that
his
dethe
shulde
be
vnknowen
/
but
caused
it
to
be
publysshed
in
the
hoost
/
by
suche
prisoners
as
he
had
/
to
se
what
his
enemyes
wolde
do
.
They
of
the
host
were
sore
dyscomfyted
as
they
well
shewed
/
for
as
than
they
had
no
capitayne
to
drawe
vnto
/
for
they
were
but
companyons
gadred
of
all
partes
.
Than
they
sayd
/
let
vs
returne
and
saue
our selfe
/
for
we
haue
lost
our
tyme
.
Anon
it
was
knowen
in
the
Cytie
/
howe
the
armynois
were
discomfyted
/
and
had
no
capytayne
.
than
they
armed
them
/
and
issued
out
a
horsebacke
and
a
foote
/
and
set
on
the
hoost
cryenge
Pauy
for
the
lorde
of
Myllayne
.
There
they
were
taken
and
slayne
without
defence
.
The
conquest
and
botye
was
great
with
the
companyons
that
were
come
thyder
with
syr
Iaques
of
Bierne
the
Armynage
is
yelded
them selfe
without
defence
and
cast
away
armure
and
sledde
/
and
were
chased
lyke
beastes
.
Lo
what
a
harde
aduenture
th
erle
of
Armynake
and
his
company
bad
/
and
where
as
his
entente
was
to
do
well
/
it
tourned
hym
to
great
yuell
.
If
he
had
lyued
fyue
dayes
lenger
/
syr
Iohan
Acton
had
come
to
hym
with
fyue
hundred
speares
/
and
a
thousande
brigandyns
a
foote
/
wherby
he
myght
haue
done
many
feates
of
armes
/
and
all
lost
by
harde
aduenture
.
WHan
the
duke
of
Myllayn
knewe
the
trouth
that
his
enemyes
were
slayne
and
taken
/
and
specyally
the
erle
of
Armynake
slayne
/
he
was
ioyfull
therof
/
and
loued
syr
Iaques
de
Bierne
the
better
in
his
herte
/
and
made
hym
soueraygne
ouer
all
his
chyualry
/
and
made
him
chefe
of
his
counsayle
.
The
duke
of
Myllayne
to
auoyde
his
countrey
of
his
enemyes
/
gaue
to
euery
prysoner
that
was
a
gentylman
a
horse
/
and
to
euery
other
man
a
florayne
and
quyted
them
clene
of
their
raunsomes
/
but
at
their
departynge
he
caused
them
to
swere
that
they
shulde
neuer
after
arme
them
agaynst
hym
.
Thus
these
companions
departed
out
of
Lombardy
and
Piemount
/
and
entred
in
to
Sauoy
and
in
to
the
dolpheny
/
and
had
suche
pouertie
that
it
was
marueyle
for
as
they
passed
euery
towne
was
closed
agaynst
theym
.
Anone
euery
man
had
spent
his
florayn
/
some
had
pytie
of
them
and
dyd
gyue
them
almes
for
charite
/
and
some
rebuked
and
mocked
them
/
sayenge
.
Go
your
wayes
seke
out
your
erle
of
Armynake
/
who
is
drinkynge
at
a
well
before
Alexaundre
.
yet
they
were
in
more
myschiefe
whan
they
came
to
the
ryuer
of
Rone
they
had
thought
lightly
to
haue
passed
ouer
in
to
the
realme
of
Fraunce
but
they
dyd
nat
for
the
frenche
kynge
hadde
commaunded
all
the
passages
to
be
closed
and
kept
agaynst
them
/
wherby
they
fell
in
great
daunger
and
pouertie
.
After
that
they
coulde
neuer
assemble
togyther
agayne
.
Thus
the
yonge
erle
of
Armynakes
army
brake
a
sonder
&
his
suster
abode
styll
in
as
yuell
case
as
she
was
in
before
.
Than
the
duke
of
Myllayne
sent
for
a
bysshop
of
his
countrey
/
and
for
suche
as
were
most
next
to
the
erle
of
Armynake
/
as
had
ben
there
with
hym
at
that
iourney
/
and
the
duke
commaunded
that
th
erles
body
shulde
be
baumed
/
and
sente
to
his
brother
syr
Barnarde
/
who
was
ryght
sorowfull
of
those
tydynges
/
and
good
cause
why
/
but
there
was
no
remedy
.
Than
the
erle
of
Armynake
was
buryed
in
the
cathedrall
churche
of
Rodays
/
and
there
he
lyeth
.
IT
ought
to
be
knowen
as
it
hath
ben
contayned
here
before
in
this
history
/
how
syr
Thomas
Percy
was
sent
by
kyng
Rycharde
of
Englande
in
to
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
and
shewed
well
howe
he
had
gret
affectyon
to
haue
a
ferme
peace
bytwene
Englande
and
Fraunce
/
and
specyally
two
of
the
kynge
of
Englandes
vncles
/
as
the
duke
of
Lancastre
and
the
duke
Edmonde
of
yorke
/
but
the
kynges
other
vncle
the
duke
of
Glocestre
and
constable
of
Englande
/
wolde
in
no
wyse
acorde
to
haue
any
peace
with
the
french
men
/
without
it
were
to
the
kynges
honoure
and
theirs
/
and
that
there
myght
be
rendred
agayne
all
suche
cyties

townes

castels
/
landes
and
sygnories
/
whiche
had
been
gyuen
to
the

to
his

whiche
falsely
had
ben
taken
away
by
the

without

and
besyde
that
the
some
of
four
thousande

whiche
was
owyng

began
the

And

sayenge
that
to

wolde
iustifye

.
Many
sayd
that
the
duke
of
Glocestre
had
good
ryght
and
reason
to
sustayne
that
opinyon
/
but
they
dissymuled
the
mater
couertely
/
bycause
they
sawe
the
kynges
mynde
and
affection
enclyned
greatly
to
haue
peace
.
But
the
poore
knightes

squyers

of
England
/
rather
enclyned
to
haue
warre
/
suche
as
had
susteyned
there
estates
by
reason
of
the

.
Consydre
well
than
/
howe
peace

loue

or
acorde
might
be
had
bytwene
these
parties

for
the
frenche

The

howe

THus

whiche
couertely
always
hath
reygned
in

dissymuling
their

The

had
alwayes
ben
so
true
in
all
his
dedes
to
the
crowne
of
Fraunce
/
that

the
hatred
came

who
was
a

of
hygh
corage

for
she
coulde
nat
loue

This

Peter
of

whyle
he
was
in
the
frenche
court

of
Thourayne

secretly
euery
thynge

/
as
I

more
playnly
declare

whan

And
bycause
I
sawe
the

I

why
syr
Peter

Suche

knewe
the
mater
/
that
some
of
them
enfourmed
me
of
the
trouth
as
the
fame
&
renome
ran
.
Fyrst
the
duke
of
Thourayn
was
dyspleased
with
this
syr
Peter
of
Craon
through
his
owne
faute
/
for
he
dysclosed
the
secretnesse
that
was
bytwene
the
duke
of
Thourayne
and
another
lady
.
If
he
dyd
so
he
dyd
yuell

THe
duke
of
Thourayne
as

had
suche

where
so
euer

/
and
shewed

.
This
Duke
of
Thourayn
as
than
was
yonge
and
amorous
/
and
gladly
wolde
company
with
ladyes
and
damosels

fressh
.
His
loue
and
secretes
were
knowen
in
suche
wyse
that
it
turned
to
great
dysplesure
to
the
duke
/
and
he
wyste
nat
whome
to
blame
but
syr
Peter
of
Craon
/
for
the
duke
had
shewed
hym
all
his

in
that
mater
/
and
had
taken
hym
in
his
company
/
whan
he
wolde
secretly
speke
with
the
said
yonge
lady
.
The
duke
on
a

promysed
the
sayd
lady
a
thousande
crownes
of
golde
/
so
that
he
myght
haue

But
the
lady
as
than
refused
it

sayd
/
howe

but
as
for

or

wolde
nat

.
All
these
wordes
and
promesses
were
knowen
by
the
duches
of
Thourayne
/
who
incontynent
sent
for
the
said

Than
she
called

Wylte

The

Than

And
all

it

nor

And

They

We

alone
towardes
the

&
it
semed
by
his
councynaunce
he

Surely
there
is
some
thyng
a
mysse
/
for
he
was
nat
wonte
to
come
home
before
his

.
Thus
as
they
were
communynge
toguyder
/
there
came
in
to
the
towne
the
Erles
chapelayne
.
Thanne
the
men
of

It

Is

Nay

and
than
I
muste

And
so
therwith
he
passed
forth

and
dyde
so

For
without

that

he
coulde
nat
haue
entred
in
to
the
Towre
where
as
the
treasour
was

Than
the

of

It
is

Let

Also

They
all

Thanne
the

that

Thus

WHan

THan
(
as
I
was
enformed
)
the
Vycount
of
Chastellon
made
a
request
before
them
all
/
to
borowe
fyue
or
.vi.
thousande

Also
the

Than
the

toke
aduise
togider

&
at

acorded
that
the

And
the
two
bastardes
of
Foiz
eche
of
them
two
thousande
frankes
and
incontynent
the
tre●ourers
were
commaunded
to
delyuer
the
money
.
All
offycers
that
were
in
the
Erles
dayes
/
were
suffred
to
occupy
styll
without
any
chaungyng
and
than
kepers
were
sette
to
kepe
the
castell
of

.
The

Orthais
/
gaue
pardon
to
all
the
prisoners
with
in
the
castell
/
wherof
there
were
a
great
nombre
.
For
the
erle
of
Foiz
was
a
cruell
man
&
wolde
spare
no
man
/
but
to
punysshe
at
his
pleasure
/
though
he
were
neuer
so
great
a
ꝑsonage
.
He
had
ones
in
prisone
the
said
Vycount
of
Chastellon
in
the
botome
of
a
dongion
/
eight
monethes
/
for
all

And

/
he
sette
hym
to
raunsome
at
.xl.
thousande
frankes
/
whiche
was
truly
payde
.
And
also
as
longe
as
he
lyued
he
loued
hym
neuer
after
/
so
that
the
Vicount
durst
neuer
come
in
his
sight
/
for
if
the
erle
had
lyued
two
yeres
lengar
/
the
Vicount
shulde
neuer
haue
had
any
parte
of
the
heritage
of
Foiz
or
of
Bierne
.
THus
this
counsayle
at
Orthays
brake
vp
/
and
euery
man
departed
and
lefte
the
Vycount
to
prepare
for
his

/
who
made
hym
redy
as
soone
as
he
might
/
and
desyred
certayne
knightes
&
squiers
to
go
with
hym
.
Thus
he
departed
fro
Orthais
with
a
two
hundred
horse
/
and
rode
to
Moriens
a
good
towne
on
the
fronter
/
bytwene
Byerne
and
Bygore
/
a
four
myles
fro

and
a
sixe

And
the
seconde

he
rode
to

Gausens
/
another

at
the
entre
of
the
countie
of
Foiz
on

.
and
there
tidynges
came
to
hym
howe
the

/
and
sir
Buryaulx
de
la
Ryuer
and
other
of
the
Frenche
kynges
counsayle
were
come
to
Tholous
.
Than
the
Vycount
tooke
counsayle
of
sir
Roger
of
Spayne
what
was
best
for
him
to
do
:
sir
Roger
answered
and
sayd
.
Sithe
we
haue
herde

/
let

what
they
wyll

I
thynke
they
wyll

and
so
there
they
taryed

for
in

they
coulde
go

shulde
entre

to
no
castell
nor
towne
of
their
countrey
/
tyll
the
mater
were
determyned
.
and
as
they
of
the
countrey
shewed
themselfe
they
were
better
mynded
to
be
Frenche
/
&
to
be
gouerned
by
a
seneschall
(
as
the
countre
and
cytie
of
Tholous
was
/
and
Carcasson
and
Beauuoyre
)
rather
than
to
be
vnder
any
other
ruler
.
Howe
be
it
the
mater
went
otherwyse
/
as
ye
shall
here
.
For
whan
the
Frenche
kynges
commyssaries
were

to
Tholous
they
demaunded

suche

.
There
they
were
enformed
in

Than
they
toke
aduyse

&
determyned

/
bycause
he
was

homage
/
and
his
oftycer
/
as
seneschall
of
Carcassone
.
They

.
The

Than
sir

Than

that

and
speke
there
with

The

ser

Syr

Than
the

said

seynge

The
next
day
after
masse
syr

drewe
to
the
bysshop
and
to
the
lorde
de

Ryuer
/
&
made
good
chere

/
bycause
they
were
all
of
aquayntaunce

and
there
communed

Than
the
kinges
commyssyoners
shewed

and
howe
they
were
set

stablysshed
to

.
and
whan
syr

had
well
herde
them
at

/
he
replyed
with
swete
wordes

sayde
.
Lordes
I

and
if

I
wolde
counsayle
the

that
he

and
somwhat
more
(
trewe
it

after
the

)
yet
let

leaue
the

/
this
shall
be

profyte
/
honour
/
and

/
and
in
this
that
I
saye
/
I
shall

if

There
is
one
thynge
whiche
is
clere
/
the

of

layde
his

fraude
/
for

for
that

dyd
was

bycause
he
hated

.
Also
as
touchyng

I
ensure
you
the
kepyng
of
the
lande
of
Foize
shulde

more

And
thyrdly
the

shall
lese
therby
the
homage
and
seruyce
of
suche
a
man
as
is
able
to
do
him
good
seruyce
/
this
ought
to
be
well
regarded
.
also
it
shulde
be
a
great
charge
to
the
kynges
consyence
to
dysheryte
any
persone
/
without
a
reasonable
cause
/
for
if
the

fyrste
all
suche
as
claymeth
any

wherfore

YE
haue
herde
here
before
in
dyuers
places
in
this
hystory
/
howe
the
duke
of
Bretayne
and
syr
Olyuer
of
Clysson
/
as
than
constable
of
Fraunce
/
hated
mortally
eche
other
/
and
besyde
the
hatred
that
the
duke
had
to
syr
Olyuer
/
he
had
gret
enuy
that
he
was
so
great
with
the
kinge
/
and
so
secrete
of
his
counsayle
/
and
gladly
he
wolde
haue
troubled
hym
/
but
he
doughted
the
kynges
displeasure
/
and
often
tymes
the
duke
repented
hym
that
he
had
nat
slayne
hym
whan
he
had
hym
in
prisone
in
the
castell
of
Ermyn
/
for
he
thought
if
he
had
slayne
hym
/
than
he
shulde
neuer
haue
had
more
trouble
by
hym
.
The
yuell
wyll
that
he
had
to
hym
caused
hym
to
be
harde
mynded
to
be
obedyente
to
the
crowne
of
Fraunce
/
howe
be
it
he
knewe
well
he
dyd
yuell
/
therfore
he
suffred
all
thynge
to
passe
at
aduenture
/
and
helde
in
his
loue
the
englysshe
men
/
and
prouyded
suffycyently
his
townes
and
fortresses
with
artyllery
&
vytayles
/
and
sent
priuely
in
to
Englande
for
men
of
armes
and
archers
/
&
dyd
set
them
in
his
garysons
/
and
made
to
be
beleued
that
he
loked
to
haue
warre
but
his
men
kn●we
nat
with
whome
/
howe
be
it
all
that
euer
he
dyd
was
knowen
in
Fraunce
/
and
many
spake
largely
against
him
.
He
knewe
well
that
certrayne
lordes
of
Fraunce
were
nat
contente
with
hym
/
but
he
dyd
set
lytell
therby
/
but
so
passed
on
his
tyme
.
He
had
great
affyaunce
in
his
cosyne
the
duchesse
of
Burgoyne
/
as
it
was
reason
/
for
he
had
of
her
a
specyall
supporte
and
ayde
/
for
the
lady
bycause
of
lygnage
loued
hym
/
and
bycause
that
the
erle
of
Flaunders
her
father
/
who
was
cosyn
germayne
to
the
duke
had
alwayes
loued
and
comforted
hym
in
all
his
trybulacyons
.
This
lady
of
Burgoyne
was
a
good
lady
/
so
that
the
duke
her
husbande
wolde
nat
gladly
displease
her
/
and
good
cause
why
/
for
the
duke
by
her
helde
great
herytages
/
and
had
by
her
fayre
chyldren
.
all
the
realme
of
Fraunce
was
bounde
to
loue
her
/
and
she
had
nat
ben
/
great
dyscensions
had
moued
bytwene
the
parties
/
for
natwithstandynge
that
the
duke
of
Bretayne
had
ben
at
Paris
with
the
french
kyng
/
and
made
to
hym
homage
/
yet
I
can
nat
well
say
if
it
was
with
good
herte
or
no
/
for
as
sone
as
the
duke
was
retourned
in
to
Bretaygne
/
there
apered
in
hym
but
small
amendemente
/
he
had
sworne
obeysaunce
and
to
be
obedyent
to
the
pope
at
Auignon
/
but
he
was
nat
/
for
rather
he
dispysed
hym
in
his
wordes
.
Nor
also
he
wolde
suffre
no
man
to
be
promoted
in
his
countrey
by
that
popes
bulles
/
but
helde
hym selfe
newter
in
dyuers
thynges
/
&
wolde
gyue
the
benefyces
hym selfe
.
No
clerke
coulde
atteygne
to
any
promocyon
of
any
benefyce
in
his
countrey
/
without
he
had
ben
well
pleased
therwith
.
Also
any
commaundements
that
came
out
of
the
parlyament
chambre
of
Parys
/
he
sette
nothynge
therby
.
The
prelates
and
bysshoppes
of
Bretayne
lost
great
parte
of
their
iurisdictions
by
this
duke
/
so
that
great
complayntes
therof
was
made
in
the
parlyament
of
Parys
/
but
they
hadde
small
remedy
.
And
whan
he
was
sent
for
to
come
to
Parysꝭ
or
els
to
sende
thyder
some
able
personages
to
make
aunswere
to
suche
matters
as
shulde
be
aledged
agaynste
hym
/
and
whan
any
of
the
kynges
offycers
came
in
to
Bretaygne
to
somon
hym
to
apere
/
thanne
he
wolde
nat
be
spoken
withall
/
but
euer
made
sondry
seues
.
And
whan
the
kinges
officers
dyd
departe
againe
thens
/
than
he
wolde
say
.
I
wyll
go
to
Parys
to
se
what
ryght
I
shall
haue
there
.
It
is
nat
yet
thre
yeres
sence
I
was
there
/
to
se
what
ryght
I
shulde
haue
/
but
I
coulde
se
nor
here
of
no
ryght
there
mynystred
/
the
lordes
of
the
parlyament
tourne
euery
thynge
as
they
lyst
.
They
reken
me
very
yonge
and
ignorante
/
to
be
ledde
as
they
lyst
/
but
I
wolde
they
knewe
that
if
all
my
men
of
the
duchy
of
Bretaygne
/
were
all
of
one
accorde
/
and
obedyent
to
my
pleasure
/
as
they
ought
to
be
/
I
wolde
gyue
the
realme
of
Fraunce
so
moche
to
do
/
that
I
wolde
bringe
theym
that
be
vnreasonable
to
reason
/
and
suche
as
hath
done
trewly
shulde
be
rewarded
acordyngly
/
and
suche
as
haue
deserued
to
haue
iustyce
/
shulde
haue
as
they
haue
deserued
/
and
suche
as
wolde
haue
right
shuld
haue
it
.
Thus
many
complayntes
were
made
often
tymes
to
the
kynge
/
and
suche
as
were
of
his
secrete
counsayle
said
.
This
duke
is
ryght
presumptuous
and
proude
/
sythe
he
wyll
be
brought
to
no
reason
/
and
if
he
shulde
be
thus
suffred
in
his
lewde
opinyon
/
it
shulde
greatly
enfeble
the
noblenesse
of
this
realme
/
for
by
hym
other
lordes
shall
take
ensample
to
do
yuell
/
and
therby
the
iurysdictyon
of
the
realme
lytell
and
lytell
shall
be
loste
.
Than
it
was
deuysed
to
withstande
/
and
to
fynde
remedy
for
suche
inconuenyentes
/
and
to
sende
swetely
to
hym
to
come
to
Towrs
in
Thourayne
/
and
there
to
mete
with
the
french
kyng
and
with
the
duke
of
Berrey
/
and
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
/
the
bysshop
of
Charters
/
the
bysshoppe
of
Dothune
.
These
four
were
specyally
named
/
bycause
the
duke
loued
them
best
aboue
all
other
lordes
of
Fraunce
/
excepte
the
erle
of
Estampes
/
and
the
lorde
Coucy
.
THus
there
was
sente
in
to
Bretayne
to
the
duke
the
erle
of
Estampes
and
mayster
Iue
of
Noyent
.
They
toke
great
payne
and
traueyle
to
moue
the
duke
to
mete
with
the
frenche
kynge
at
Towrs
.
they
spake
so
fayre
with
fresshe
coloured
wordes
/
armed
with
reason
/
that
the
duke
agreed
to
go
to
Towrs
/
but
further
he
sayd
in
no
wyse
he
wolde
go
/
and
also
that
he
shulde
nat
se
his
enemy
syr
Olyuer
of
Clysson
in
no
wyse
.
All
this
was
acorded
&
agreed
/
or
he
wolde
come
to
Towrs
.
These
ambassadours
retourned
in
to
Fraunce
and
shewed
the
kynge
and
his
counsayle
howe
they
had
spedde
.
They
were
contente
therwith
/
sythe
they
coulde
brynge
hym
to
none
other
purpose
.
The
kynge
and
his
counsayle
made
them
redy
to
go
to
Towrs
and
to
tary
there
a
two
or
thre
monethes
/
for
they
thought
their
treatie
with
the
duke
of
Bretayne
shulde
nat
sone
be
acomplisshed
.
Thus
the
frenche
kinge
/
the
duke
of
Thourayne
his
brother
/
the
dukes
of
Berrey
and
Burgoyne
/
and

Also

and
Iohan
of
Bretayne
his
sonne
in
lawe
/
and
their
counsayles
/
for
they
hadde

.
And
a
fyftene
dayes
after

thyder
came
the
duke
of
Bretayne
.
or
he
came
it
was
sayd
he

/
sayenge
he
was
speke
and
coude
nat
ryde
/
how
be
it
finally
he
came
/
and
was
lodged
at
his
ease
.
There
was
syr
Roger
of
Spaygne
to
haue
ben
aunswered
/
but
the
kynge
and
the
counsayle
had
somoche
to
do
with
the
duke
of
Bretayns
maters
/
that
they
coulde
entende
to
nothyng
els
.
This
syr
Roger
was
there
more
than
two
monethes
or
he
coulde
be
aunswered
/
but
daily
he
was
answered
that
he
shulde
be
herde
/
but
it
was
longe
fyrste
.
Also
the
same
tyme
there
fell
another
let
/
for
thyder
came

kyng
Rycharde
of
Englande

same
matter
that
syr
Thomas
Percy
and
the
lorde
Clyfforde
had
ben
at
Parys
for
with
the
kynge
.
Whan
the
englysshe
men
were
come
to
Towrs
/
all
other
treaties
were
closed
vp
and
entended
to
their
delyueraunce
.
It
was
shewed
me
that
they
brought
letters
of
credence
to
the
kynge
and
to
the
dukes
of
Berrey
&
Burgoyne
.
they
were
herde
.
Their
credence
was
/
that
the
kynge
of
Englande
and
his
Vncles
wolde
knowe
if
the
frenche
kynge
and
his
counsayle

Amyence
to
treate
for
a
peace
to
be
had
bytwene
the
two
kynges
/
their
alyes
and
confederates
.
The
frenche
fynge
(
who
as
he
shewed
/
desyred
no
thynge
so
moche
as
peace
/
and
answered
and
said
/
that
he
was
redy
to
accomplysshe
all
promesses
/
sayenge
that
as
soone
as
he
had
delyuered
the
duke
of
Bretayne
and
were
departed
fro
Towrs
/
he
wolde
entende
to
nothynge
e●s
/
tyll
he
were
come
to
Amyence
/
and
there
to
abyde
for
the
englysshe
ambassadours
/
and
there
to
make
them
as
good
chere
as
he
coude
.
Here
with
the
englysshe
ambassadours
were
well
content
/
and
were
a
fyue
dayes
at
Towrs
with
the
kynge
/
and
than
tooke
their
leaue
of
the
kynge
and
of
the
other
lordes
.
The
kynge
gaue
them
great
gyftes
and
their
costes
there
payed
for
/
and
so
departed
.
and
all
that
season
they
sawe
nat
the
duke
of
Bretayne
nor
spake
nat
with
hym
/
for
the
duke
welde
nat
/
leste
the
frenche
men
shulde
haue
any

.
Thus
the
englysshmen

to
Calays
and
so
to
Douer
/
and
to
London
and
founde
the
kynge
and
his

Westmynster
/
and
there
shewed
what
they
had
done
/
herde

The

pleased
well
the

They

The

The

¶
Nowe
we
wyll

speakyng
of
this

and
shewe
somwhat
of
the
duke
of
Bretayne
.
YE
haue
herde
here
before
what
treatie
was
at
Towrs
in
Thourayn
/
bytwene
the
frenche
kyng
and
the
duke
of
Bretaygne
/
the
whiche
duke
dyde
put
the
kynge
and
his
counsayle
to
moche
payne
/
for
he
wolde
fall
to
no
reason
.
It
was
sayde
the
kynge
demaunded
of
hym
and
he
refused
.
In
lykewyse
he
demaunded
/
and
the
kynge
refused
.
Moche
treatie
there
was
/
but
no
conclusion
taken
.
The
duke
he
was
redy
to
serue
the
kynge
and
to
do
hym
homage
/
as
farre
forthe
as
he
was
bounde
to
do
.
Thanne
the
kynges
counsayle
sayd
to
hym
.
Sythe
ye
knowledge
yourselfe
to
be
the
kinges
liegman
/
why
wyll
ye
nat
than
obey
to
reason
?
Why
syrs
quod
he
wherin
am
I
rebell
?
Than
they
layde
to
him
dyuers
poyntes
.
Fyrste
in
the
beleuynge
on
the
pope
at
Auygnon
/
whome
they
sayde
the
kynge
toke
for
the
trewe
pope
/
ye
dyffer
ther
/
fro
and
dyssymule
the
mater
/
for
ye
wyll
obey
none
of
his
commaundementes
/
but
gyue
all
the
benefyces
your selfe
in
Bretaygne
/
and
suche
as
brynge
any
bulles
fro
the
pope
ye
wyll
nat
knowe
theym
/
this
is
agaynste
the
magesty
royall
/
and
great
synne
to
your
conscyence
and
soule
.
Than
the
duke
aunswered
and
sayde
.
As
for
my
conscyence
there
is
no
man
ought
to
speke
therof
nor
iudge
it
but
all
onely
god
/
who
is
soueraygne
iudge
in
all
suche
causes
/
and
syth●
ye
argue
and
appose
me
in
that
maner
▪
I
shall
aunswere
you
.
As
for
these
popes
who
are
indyfferent
/
there
is
no
sure
declaration
made
of
them
/
and
the
season
that
the
first
tydynges
came
of
the
chosynge
of
pope
Vrbayne
/
I
was
in
the
towne
of
Gaunt
/
with
my
cosyn
the
erle
of
Flaunders
/
and
there
he
receyued
letters
sealed
with
the
popes
seale
/
as
than
called
Robert
of
Quesne
cardynall
/
and
in
his
letter
he
certifyed
to
the
erle
my
cosyn
/
that
by
the
grace
of
god
and
by
the
deuyne
in
spyratyon
he
was
chosen
pope
/
and
hadde
to
name
Vrbayne
.
Howe
than
canne
this
be
vndone
agayne
/
me
thynke
it
were
harde
to
do
?
I
wyll
nat
argue
agaynst
the
kinges
maieste
/
for
I
am
his
cosyn
and
lyege
man
/
and
shall
well
and
trewly
serue
hym
whan
so
euer
I
be
requyred
/
as
farre
forthe
as
I
am
bounde
to
do
but
I
wyll
speke
agaynst
them
that
counsayle
nat
the
kynge
well
.
Why
syr
quod
they
/
shewe
vs
who
they
be
that
do
nat
counsayle
the
kynge
as
they
ought
to
do
/
and
we
shall
fynde
remedy
for
them
.
Syrs
●
he
ye
knowe
them
better
than
I
do
/
for
ye
company
with
them
oftener
than
I
do
/
but
as
touchynge
the
benefyces
of
my
countrey
/
I
am
nat
so
haute
nor
so
cruell
agaynst
suche
as
desyre
them
/
but
that
I
suffre
the
clerkes
of
my
countrey
to
en●oy
them
/
by
the
bulles
of
pope
Clement
/
but
suche
cerkes
as
be
nat
of
the
same
countrey
I
refuse
them
/
and
the
cause
why
I
shall
shewe
you
.
They
wolde
beare
away
the
rychesse
of
my
countrey
out
therof
/
and
deserue
it
nat
/
whiche
is
agaynst
ryght
and
consyence
/
wher fore
I
can
nat
agree
therto
.
And
where
as
ye
saye
that
I
am
rebell
and
〈◊〉
to
agaynst
the
kynges
offycers
/
whanne
they
come
in
to
my
countrey
,
that
is
nat
so
,
nor
wyll
nat
be
.
ye
ought
to
knowe
/
and
if
ye
do
nat
lerne
it
/
the
fee
of
the
●uchy
of
Bretayne
is
of
so
noble
a
condycion
/
that
soueraygnely
there
ought
none
to
enterprise
any
mater
there
/
but
alonely
their
owne
naturall
lorde
/
that
is
to
say
/
the
duke
of
Bretayne
holdeth
his
court
open
to
here
all
ryghtes
/
and
his
offycers
to
execute
all
ryghtes
in
the
lande
of
Bretaygne
/
and
to
do
acordynge
to
their
offyce
.
And
if
I
haue
any
offycer
that
dothe
contrary
to
ryght
/
that
outher
straunger
or
other
haue
cause
to
complayne
/
I
punysshe
them
and
shall
do
/
that
other
shall
take
ensample
by
them
.
more
ouer
I
say
that
some
of
the
kynges
counsayle
do
so
that
they
ought
to
be
reproued
/
for
they
do
as
moche
as
they
maye
do
/
to
norysshe
warre
and
hatred
bytwene
the
kyng
and
me
/
the
cause
why
is
clere
ynough
.
they
suffre
my
cosyn
Iohn
of
Bloys
to
do
two
thynges
agaynst
me
vnreasonable
.
The
fyrste
is
/
he
writeth
hym selfe
Iohan
of
Bretayne
/
by
reason
of
that
name
it
semeth
he
entendeth
to
attaygne
to
the
herytage
of
Bretaygne
/
of
the
whiche
he
is
without
and
shall
be
/
for
I
haue
chyldren
/
sonne
and
doughter
that
shall
succede
after
me
.
Secondely
he
beareth
the
ermyns
whiche
are
the
armes
of
Bretaygne
/
but
of
trouthe
to
do
me
dyspleasure
withall
/
sir
Olyuer
clysson
mayntayneth
him
in
that
opinyon
/
and
as
longe
as
he
is
in
that
case
I
wyllagre
to
no
treatie
with
the
kynge
.
As
for
warre
I
wyll
make
none
to
the
kyng
/
bycause
he
is
my
naturall
lorde
/
but
if
by
yuell
informacyon
the
kyng
make
me
warre
/
I
shall
defende
me
/
&
he
shall
fynde
me
in
myne
owne
countre
.
all
this
I
wyll
that
the
kyng
knowe
.
THus
the
treatie
bytwene
the
kynge
and
the
duke
of
Bretayne
contynued
rygorously
/
for
the
duke
was
lorde
and
mayster
of
his
counsayle
/
but
the
frenche
kynge
was
nat
so
of
his
/
but
was
ruled
by
syr
Olyuer
Clisson
/
and
the
Begue
of
Vyllains
/
syr
Iohan
Mercyer
/
and
by
syr
Willyam
of
Montague
,
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
/
who
had
clere
vnderstandyng
of
euery
thynge
/
suffred
the
duke
of
Bretaygnes
reasons
and
defences
to
be
sayde
in
place
/
and
couertly
he
susteyned
them
/
and
had
the
duke
of
Berrey
of
his
opynyon
/
for
he
hated
inwardly
them
of
the
kynges
priuy
chambre
/
bycause
they
had
dystroyed
his
treasourer
Betysache
shamfully
/
by
iustyce
at
Besyers
(
as
ye
haue
herde
here
before
)
but
he
suffred
it
/
for
he
sawe
no

to
be
reuenged
.
In
this
dyfference
the
duke
of
Bretaygne
taryed
at
Towrs
thre
monethes
/
that
their
treatie
coulde
come
to
no

to
no
conclusion
of
good
acorde
.
So
it
was
the
frenche
kyng
had
a
doughter
.
&
the
duke
of
Bretaine
had
a
sonne
.
there
was
a
maryage
made
bytwene
this
sonne
&
this
dought
.
In
lykewise
Iohn
of
Bretayne
had
a
sonne
by
the
dought
of
sir
Olyuer
of
Clysson
&
the
duke
of
Bretayne
had
a
doughter
and
it
was
thought
to
make
sure
peace
/
that
the
mariage
bytwene
them
two
were
necessary
.
These
maryages
were
agreed
&
concluded
/
howbeit
for
all
these
alyaunces
/
yet
Iohn
of
Bretayne
shulde
leaue
the
armes
of
Bretayne
&
beare
them
of
Chastellon
/
&
bycause
he
was
extracte
by
his
mother
syde
of
a
duke
of
Bretayne
(
for
his
mother
was
doughter
to
a
duke
of
Bretaygne
)
therfore
he
was
alowed
to
bere
in
his
armes
a
bordet
of
ermyne
with
thre
labels
goules
/
on
the
heed
of
a
scochyn
of
ermyns
.
Thus
he
bare
these
deuises
/
&
euery
thynge
was
apesed
.
So
the
duke
of
Bretayne
gate
the
loue
of
the
kyng
&
of
his
vncles
/
and
dyned
with
the
kyng
/
and
so
Iohn
of
Bretayne
was
erle
of
Pon●hieuts
.
And
thus
shewed
great
loue
togyder
by
meanes
of
these
mariages
/
howe
be
it
the
duke
in
no
wyse
wolde
se
nor
speke
with
sir
Olyuer
of
Clysson
/
he
had
suche
displeasure
to
hym
/
howebeit
sir
Olyuer
made
lyght
therof
/
for
he
hated
the
duke
also
with
all
his
puissaunce
.
These
mariages
thus
acorded
/
&
the
lordes
sworne
and
bounde
to
fulfyll
them
/
whan
the
chyldren
shulde
be
somwhat
of
more
age
.
Than
these
lordes
determyned
to
departe
fro
Tourse
&
to
drawe
to
Parys
/
for
the
tyme
aproched
that
they
shulde
be
at
Amyence
personally
.
The
frenche
kyng
/
his
brother
/
his
vncles
and
his
counsayle
/
to
mere
there
with
the
kyng
of
Englande
/
his
vncles
and
counsayle
/
who
shulde
be
there
.
So
the
duke
of
Bretayne
toke
leaue
of
the
Frenche
kyng
and
of
his
brother
&
vncles
/
and
of
suche
other

he
loued
best

and
so
departed
fro
Tourse
&
went
in

and
in
lykewise
so

YE
haue
herde
here
before
in
this
hystorie
/
howe
Loys
of
Bloys
/
sonne
to
th
erle
Guy
of
bloys
died
whan
he
was
yonge
/
in
the
towne
of
Beauniont
in
Heynalt
/
wher
by
the
lady
Mary
doughter
to
the
duke
of
Berrey
was
a
widowe
/
&
therby
she
lost
her
welthe
of
this
worlde
/
for
the
chylde
was
a
gret
enheritour
/
&
if
he
had
lyued
he
had
ben
a
great
lorde
.
I
speke
of
it
bycause
it
shulde
be
knowen
in
tyme
to
come
th
enheritaunce
/
to
whome
it
went
out
of
the
right
lyne
/
and
by
what
maner
.
th
erle
of
Blois
&
Mary
of
Namure
his
wyfe
/
were
nat
in
the
case
to
engendre
children
togider
/
for
by
great
drinkyng
&
moche
eatynge
of
wete
&
delycate
meates
/
they
were
ouergrowen
with
fatnesse
/
so
that
the
erle
coude
nat
ryde
/
but
was
alwayes
caried
in
a
lytter
fro
one
place
to
another
/
or
whan
he
wolde
go
a
huntyng
or
haukyng
/
whiche
sporte
was
gretly
vsed
with
the
lordis
of
Fraunce
The
same
season
whyle
the
Frenche
kynge
was
at
Tourse
/
the
duke
of
Thourayne
had
an
ymaginacion
whiche
he
brought
to
effect
as
I
shall
shewe
you
.
The
duke
of
Thourayne
knewe
well
/
he
had
moche
rychesse
lying
by
hym
/
paraduenture
a
myllion
of
Floreyns
/
whiche
had
by
reason
of
his
mariage
with
the
lady
Valentyne
of
Myllayne
/
doughter
to
the
erle
of
Vertus
.
He
wyst
nat
howe
to
enploy
these
flornes
.
Than
he
remembred
howe
the
erle
Guy
of
Bloys
had
great
herytagis
/
and
that
after
his
dethe
they
were
likely
to
go
to
dyuers
persones
.
The
erldome
of
Bloys
shulde
retourne
to
Iohan
of
Bretayne
/
for
he
was
the
erles
cosyn
germayne
/
and
the
landes
of
Heynault
shulde
go
to
the
duke
Iulyers
and
to
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
except
Chinay
whiche
shulde
go
to
them
of
Conflans
by
homage
/
and
the
countie
of
Soissons
/
whiche
parteyned
to
th
erle
of
Bloys
and
was
aunciently
alyed
to
hym
.
The
lorde
of
Coucy
was
enherytour
therof
/
by
reason
of
his
delyueraunce
out
of
prisone
in
England
Also
the
landes
of
Drages
&
Monny
shulde
retourne
to
other
heyres
:
And
the
landes
of
Holande
and
zelande
/
shulde
retourne
to
the
erle
of
Heynaulte
.
Thus
these
fayre
heryteges
shulde
be
sparcled
abrode
:
&
this
knewe
well
the
lordes
of
Fraunce
.
wherfore
the
duke
of
Thourayn
who
had
money
lyeng
by
hym
thought
to
bye
these
landes
/
if
he
might
haue
any
resonable
bargayne
.
Than
he
thought
to
entreate
the
kyng
to
moue
th
erle
of
Blois
in
this
mater
/
and
specially
at
the
lest
to
bye
the
countie
of
Bloys
/
whiche
was
a
fayre
and
a
noble
countrey
/
and
well
syttinge
for
hym
/
for
the
countie
of
Bloyes
marched
on
the
duchy
of
Thouraygne
:
and
to
the
Countie
of
Bloys
parteyned
many
goodly
fees
.
This
duke
of
Thourayne
rested
styll
on
his
purpose
/
&
seased
nat
tyll
he
spake
with
the
kynge
his
brother
&
the
duke
of
Burbone
/
&
with
the
lorde
of
Coucy
:
bycause
he
was
great
with
the
erle
of
Blois
/
and
had
to
wyfe
the
doughter
of
his
cosyn
germayne
the
duke
of
Loreyne
.
The
duke
of
Thourayne
and
the
other
lordes
of
his
affyuite
kept
this
mater
secretely
fro
the
duke
of
Berey
/
I
shall
shewe
you
why
The
lady
Mary
his
dought
was
endowed
in
all
the
countie
of
Bloys
to
the
some
of
.vi.
M.
frankes
by
yere
:
and
the
duke
of
Berrey
trusted
by
reason
of
his
doughters
dowrie
the
the
countie
of
Bloys
shulde
be
his
after
the
erles
dethe
.
this
duke
of
Berrey
was
a
marueylous
couytous
prince
.
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
in
lyke
wise
trusted
the
landes
of
Holande
/
zelande
/
&
Heynalte
to
be
his
/
bycause
that
Margarete
his
eldest
dought
was
maried
to
Wylliam
/
sonne
to
th
erle
of
Heynalte
:
wherby
he
thought
outher
by
bieng
or
by
some
other
incident
that
chose
landes
shulde
returne
to
his
sonne
erle
of
Ostrenant
/
otherwyse
called
Iohn
of
Burgoyne
/
who
as
than
had
maried
Margarete
eldest
doughter
to
th
erle
of
Heynalte
.
Thus
the
kyng
and
these
said
lordes
purposed
that
at
their
departyng
fro
Tourse
iii
Thourayn
to
ryde
by
Blois
to
se
their
cosyn
th
erle
Guy
of
Bloys
/
who
was
an
eight
myle
fro
Tourse
/
in
a
castell
of
his
owne
called
the
Castell
morant
&
there
to
treate
of
this
marchandise
with
hym
&
with
his
wyfe
the
lady
Mary
of
Namure
/
who
was
a
couytous
lady
.
So
it
was
there
was
a
valiant
knight
and
of
great
prudence
bayly
of
Blois
/
called
sir
Raynolde
of
Sens
/
who
had
perfyte
informacion
of
all
this
busynes
/
by
what
meanes
I
knowe
nat
.
Whan
he
knewe
it
he
had
gret
pyte
therof
/
for
loue
of
th
erle
his
lorde
/
for
he
thought
by
reason
of
his
sale
of
his
landes
/
he
shuld
be
dishonored
for
euer
/
&
disherite
the
true
rightfull
heyres
/
whiche
shulde
be
damnacion
to
his
soule
.
He
thought
to
lette
this
mater
if
he
coude
/
&
so
rode
fro
Blois
&
spake
with
th
erle
&
said
.
sir
/
the
frenche
kynge
&
the
duke
of
Thourayn
/
the
duke
of
Burdon
and
the
lorde
Coucy
cometh
hyder
to
you
.
that
is
true
qd
th
erle
/
why
speke
you
that
?
Sir
qd
he
I
say
it
bycause
ye
shal
be
requyred
to

/
wherfore
ye
haue
nede
to
take

therin
.
of
those
wordis
th
erle
had
great
marueyle
&
said
/
I
can
nat
let
men
to
speke
&
make
requestis
/
but
or
I
make
any
suche
bargayne
to

myne
enherytaunce
/
or
to
disheryte
myne
heyres
to
my

&
rebuke
/
I
shall
rather
sell
or

to
pledge
all
the

I
haue
.
Well
sit
qd
the
knight
/
remember
well
the
mater
whan

/
for
this
that
I
haue
shewed

Bayly
qd
the
erle
/
I
am
nat
so
yong
nor
folysshe

.
thus
the
bayly
departed
fro
th
erle
&
rode
againe
to
Blois
/
for
he
wolde
nat
be
sene
there
at
the
kynges
commynge
.
Whan
the
kyng
and
these
said
lordes
came
to
the
castell
/
the
erle
made
them
good
chere
/
as
it
was
reason
.
The
erle
and
the
countesse
were
right
ioyfull
/
that
the
kyng
wolde
visyte
them
in
their
owne
castell
.
Than
the
kynge
to
drawe
the
erle
to
his
loue
/
&
to
bring
hym
to
his
entent
sayd
.
Fayre
cosyn
/
I
se
well
ye
be
a
lorde
of
our
realme
garnysshed
with
honour
and
larges
:
and
haue
ben
at
great
cost
/
and
to
ayde
you
/
and
somwhat
to

/
We
wyll
you
gyue
and
ayde
/
that
shall
be
well
worthe
to
you
twentie
thousande
frankes
in
the
countie
of
Blois
.
Th
erle
thanked
the
kyng
of
his
gyfte
/
but
he
had
neuer
profite
therof
/
for
he
had
neuer
nothyng
.
Than
the
kynge
began
to
treate
the
Erle
to
sell
the
countie
of
Bloyes
to
the
duke
of
Thourayn
The
kynge
and
the
duke
of
Burbone
spake
fyrst
/
and
founde
th
erle
very
colde
and
tarre
of
in
that
mater
.
Than
the
lordes
drewe
to
the
countesse
of
Bloyes
/
and
shewed
her
so
many
colored
reasons
/
and
she
hers
/
that
after
her
husbandes
dethe
/
she
was
lyke
to
be
but
a
poore
lady
.
Wherfore
they
said
it
were
moche
better
for
her
to
be
a
ryche
lady
and
a
puissaunt
of
golde
and
syluer
/
and
iewelles
/
than
to
be
poore
.
Sayeng
howe
she
was
lykely
to
ouerlyue
her
husbade
.
Therfore
they
desyred
her
to
counsayle
her
husbande
to
make
this
marchaundyse
.
The
countesse
/
who
was
a
couytous
lady
:
And
for
loue
to
haue
the
floreyns
/
she
enclyned
to
their
desyres
/
and
she
dyd
so
moche
with
the
helpe
of
other
as
the
ayde
of
a
varlet
of
the
Erles
chambre
called
Sohier
borne
at
Malygnes
/
sonne
to
a
weyuer
of
clothes
/
but
he
was
so
great
with
the
erle
of
Bloyes
/
that
all
thynge
was
done
by
hym
/
&
without
hym
nothyng
done
.
And
the
erle
had
gyuen
hym
in
fees
and
herytagis
more
than
fyue
hundred
frankes
by
yere
.
Be
holde
and
consydre
what
myschefe
great
lordes
be
brought
vnto
by
meane
of
seruauntes
.
This
Sohier
had
nother
wytte
nor
reason
/
to
be
greatly
alowed
/
but
it
was
alonely
the
folysshe
loue
that
his
maister
hadde
to
hym
.
In
lykewise
the
duke
of
Berrey
the
same
season
had
one
with
hym
called
Iaques
Thybaulte
/
who
was
of
no
reputacion
/
yet
the
duke
at
dyuers
tymes
had
gyuen
hym
the
some
of
two
hundred
thousande
frankes
/
and
yet
all
was
but
loste
.
This
Sohier
coulde
nor
can
nat
excuse
hym selfe
/
but
that
if
he
had
lysted
he
myght
well
haue
broken
that
marchandise
/
that
th
erle
his
mayster
made
.
but
to
please
the
kynge
/
the
duke
of
Thourayne
/
the
duke
of
Burbone
/
the
lorde
of
Coucy
and
the
countesse
/
who
was
agreed
therto
by
couitousnes
of
the
florens
.
He
rowned
so
in
his
maisters
eare
/
that
the
Erle
wente
from
his
promyse
that
he
had
made
to
his
bayly
.
And
to
there
the
reuercion
of
the
countie
of
Bloyes
after
his
discease
was
solde
/
for
the
somme
of
two
hundred
thousande
frankes
/
and
the
duke
of
Thouraygne
to
delyuer
to
the
lady
of
Dunoyes
for
her
dowrie
/
whiche
was
assygned
to
her
/
sixe
thousande
frankes
.
And
furthermore
he
shulde
haue
made
another
sale
of
all
his
landes
in
Heynaulte
:
And
the
Duke
of
Thourayne
to
haue
payde
for
that
two
hundred
thousande
frankes
.
Howe
be
it
therin
the
erle
of
Bloys
reserued
to
knowe
the
erle
of
Heynaltes
pleasure
therin
/
who
was
his
naturall
lorde
/
to
whom
he
owed
faythe
and
homage
for
those
landes
.
Howe
be
it
that
kyng
and
the
duke
of
Thourayn
toke
that
charge
on
them
/
and
to
discharge
the
erle
/
what
soeuer
shulde
fall
after
.
Thus
or
they
departed
they
bounde
the
erle
by
promyse
and
by
writynges
sealed
/
as
they
might
well
and
easely
do
/
for
he
had
there
none
of
his
counsayle
saue
Sohier
/
who
neuer
was
at
scole
/
nor
knewe
no
letter
on
the
boke
:
Moche
after
this
maner
went
this
marchandise
.
and
I
haue
written
this
mater
as
iustely
as
I
coude
/
to
th
entent
that
herafter
in
tyme
to
come
/
by
reason
of
writyng
/
the
trouthe
shulde
be
knowen
.
For
the
erle
Guye
of
Bloys
my
lorde
&
mayster
/
as
he
that
was
ignorant
and
yuell
counsayled
/
more
by
his
wyfe
and
varlet
Sohier
than
by
any
other
/
made
this
yuell
bargayne
.
And
whan
these
maters
were
concluded
and
surely
made
by
the
kyng
/
the
duke
of
Thourayne
/
and
their
counsayle
/
than
the
lordes
toke
their
leaue
and
retourned
in
to
Fraunce
.
Great
brute
was
made
of
these
sales
in
dyuers
countries

dethe
/
for
they
sayd
that
and
he
were
ones
deed
there
was
none
that
wolde
greatly
reuenge
his
dethe
.
The
duke
repented
hym
that
he
had
nat
slayne
hym
whan
he
had
hym
in
prisone
/
and
wolde
as
than
that
it
had
coste
hym
a
hundred
thousande
frankes
/
that
he
had
hym
agayne
at
his
wyll
.
Whan
syr
Peter
of
Craon
sawe
that
the
duke
had
suche
hatred
to
syr
Olyuer
of
Clysson
/
he
purposed
a
marueylous
ymaginacien
in
himselfe
/
for
by
apparaunce
men
shulde
gyue
iudgement
.
This
knyght
thought
howe
so
euer
it
were
that
he
wolde
slee
the
constable
/
and
thought
to
entende
to
nothynge
els
tyll
he
had
slayne
hym
with
his
owne
handes
/
or
caused
hym
to
be
slayne
/
and
afterwarde
entreat
for
peace
.
He
douted
nothyng
Iohn
of
Blois
/
nor
the
sonne
of
the
Vicounte
of
Rohan
/
who
had
wedded
two
of
the
constables
doughters
/
he
thought
to
do
well
ynough
with
theym
as
longe
as
the
duke
was
on
his
parte
/
for
he
sawe
well
the
strengthe
and
puyssaunce
of
Bloys
was
greatly
feblysshed
/
for
the
Erle
Guy
of
Bloys
had
solde
the
herytage
of
Bloys
to
the
duke
of
Thourayn
/
whiche
shulde
haue
ronne
by
successyon
to
th
erle
of
Pointhycur
Iohan
of
Bloys
/
wherby
he
thought
that
the
duke
of
Thourayne
shewed
hym
but
small
loue
nor
alyaunce
of
lynage
/
to
bye
away
his
enherytaunce
/
wherfore
this
syr
Peter
thought
if
syr
Olyuer
of
Clysson
were
deed
/
sone
to
apease
the
kynges
yuell
wyll
and
the
duke
of
Thourayns
/
and
therby
sone
to
ouercome
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuer
and
syr
Iohan
Mercyer
/
Montagu
/
the
Begue
of
Villayns
/
and
syr
Iohan
of
Bulle
/
and
other
of
the
Kynges
chambre
/
suche
as
susteyned
the
constable
.
for
he
knewe
well
that
the
duke
of
Berrey
and
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
loued
them
nothynge
inwardely
/
whatsoeuer
they
shewed
outwardly
.
Thus
sir
Peter
of
Craon
perceyuered
styll
in
his
opynyon
/
and
deuysed
in
his
imagynacion
by
the
entysyng
of
the
dyuell
/
who
neuer
slepeth
/
but
waketh
and
enbraseth
their
hartes
to
do
yuell
that
enclyneth
to
his
exortacion
.
Thus
the
dyuell
dayly
layde
the
mater
before
this
knyghtes
eyen
/
or
he
put
the
mater
to
execusyon
/
but
if
he
had
iustly
ymagyned
the
doutes
and
parelles
/
and
myscheuousnesse
that
myght
fall
by
his
yuell
dede
/
reasone
and
wyse
atemperaunce
shulde
haue
caused
hym
to
haue
done
otherwyse
.
But
it
is
often
tymes
said
that
the
great
desyre
that
a
man
hath
to
haue
the
execusyon
of
that
thynge
/
or
it
be
fallen
often
tymes
quencheth
reason
and
wysdome
/
therfore
often
tymes
vyces
are
maysters
and
vertues
vyolate
and
corrupted
/
and
for
bycause
that
specially
this
syr
Peter
of
Craon
had
so
great
affection
to
the
dystructyon
of
the
constable
/
therfore
he
lyghtly
enclyned
to
the
temptacion
to
do
outrage
and
folly
/
and
thought
that
if
he
myght
slee
the
constable
and
returne
agayne
safely
in
to
Bretayne
/
that
no
man
wolde
seke
hym
there
if
they
dyd
he
trusted
that
the
duke
wolde
excuse
hym
/
and
that
if
the
worste
fell
/
that
the
Frenche
kynge
came
thyder
with
a
great
puyssaunce
/
than
in
a
nyght
to
entre
in
to
a
shyppe
and
so
to
go
to
Burdeaux
to
Bay
on
/
or
in
to
Englande
/
and
there
he
thought
well
he
shulde
nat
be
pursewed
/
for
he
knewe
well
that
the
englysshe
men
hated
the
constable
bycause
of
the
crueltyes
that
he
had
doone
and
consented
to
be
done
sythe
he
was
tourned
frenche
howe
be
it
before
that
he
had
done
many
notable
seruyces
to
the
englysshe
men
/
as
it
hath
ben
rehersed
here
before
in
this
hystory
.
SIr
Peter
of
Craon
for
to
accomplyssh
his
desyre
/
had
longe
studyed
in
his
mynde
/
howe
to
brynge
his
purpose
to
passe
/
and
kepte
his
purpose
close
and
secrete
.
I
knowe
nat
if
he
shewed
it
to
the
duke
of
Bretayne
or
nat
/
some
thought
●es
/
bycause
after
the
dede
done
by
hym
and
his
company
/
he
toke
the
next
way
he
coude
in
to
Bretayne
/
and
tooke
for
his
sauegarde
the
duke
of
Bretaygne
.
and
also
before
the
dede
done
he
solde
his
castelles
and
herytage
that
he
had
in
Aniou
to
the
duke
of
Bretaygne
/
and
renyed
his
homage
to
the
frenche
kynge
/
and
sayd
howe
he
wolde
go
ouer
the
see
.
Of
all
these
maters
I
passe
breuely
/
but
I
shall
declare
the
dede
/
for
I
syr
Iohan
Froysart
auctour
of
this
hystory
/
whan
this
vnhappy
dede
was
doone
by
syr
Peter
of
Craon
/
agaynste
syr
Olyuer
of
Clysson
/
I
was
the
same
tyme
at
Paris
/
wherfore
I
ought
to
be
well
enfourmed
of
the
mater
/
acordyng
to
the
enquery
that
I
made
therin
to
knowe
the
trouthe
.
The
same
tyme
this
syr
Peter
had
in
the
towne
of
Parys
a
fayre
house
standynge
in
the
churche
yarde
of
saynt
Iohans
/
as
dyuers
other
lordes
had
in
the
cytie
for
their
pleasure
.
In
this
house
there
was
a
keper
.
syr
Peter
of
Craon
had
sent
of
his
seruauntes
to
Parys
/
and
they
prouyded
largely
in
the
house
with
wyne
/
corne
/
flesshe
/
salte
/
and
other
prouysyons
.
Also
he
had
writen
to
the
keper
that
he
shulde
bye
certayne
armure
as
cotes
of
stele
/
gauntletes
/
stoles
and
other
harnesse
for
.xl
men
/
and
that
doone
to
sende
hym
worde
therof
to
th
entente
that
he
wolde
sende
for
them
/
and
secretly
all
this
do
be
done
.
The
keper
who
thought
none
yuell
and
to
obey
his
maysters
commaundement
/
bought
all
this
marchaundyse
.
And
all
this
season
he
was
in
a
castell
of
his
owne
in
Aniou
called
Sable
/
and
he
sent
one
weke
thre
or
four
seruauntes
to
his
house
in
Parys
/
and
so
wekely
tyll
he
had
there
a
.xl.
and
shewed
them
nothynge
for
what
cause
he
sent
them
thyder
/
but
he
charged
them
to
kepe
them selfe
close
in
his
howse
in
any
wyse
/
and
what
so
euer
they
lacked
the
keper
of
his
house
shulde
prouyde
for
it
.
and
on
a
daye
I
shall
shewe
you
the
cause
why
I
sende
you
thyder
before
/
&
ye
shall
haue
good
wages
.
They
dyd
as
he
commaunded
them
/
and
came
priuely
to
Parys
/
and
entred
in
to
the
house
by
nyght
and
in
the
mornynges
/
for
as
than
the
gates
of
Parys
nyght
and
daye
stode
open
.
There
assembled
in
that
house
so
many
togyther
/
that
they
were
a
.xl.
companyons
hardy
men
and
outragyous
.
Howe
be
it
there
were
some
that
if
they
hadde
knowen
wherfore
they
came
thyderꝭ
they
wolde
nat
haue
come
there
/
yet
they
kepte
them selfe
secrete
.
Than
at
the
feest
of
Pentecost
syr
Peter
of
Craon
came
to
Paris
secretly
&
entred
into
his
howse
/
dysguysed
lyke
a
seruaunt
.
Than
he
called
for
the
porter
that
kepte
the
gate
/
and
sayd
.
I
commaunde
the
on
payne
of
thy
lyfe
let
no
man
/
woman
/
nor
chylde
entre
in
to
this
house
/
nor
none
to
go
out
without
my
commaundement
.
The
porter
obeyed
as
it
was
reason
/
and
so
dyd
the
keper
/
and
he
commaunded
the
kepers
wyfe
&
her
chyldren
to
kepe
her
chambre
and
nat
to
issue
out
therof
/
wherin
he
dyd
wysely
/
for
if
the
woman
and
chyldren
had
gone
abrode
in
the
streates
/
the
comynge
thyther
of
syr
Peter
Craon
had
been
knowe
/
for
chyldren
and
women
naturally
are
harde
to
kepe
counsayle
/
of
that
thynge
a
man
wolde
haue
kepte
secrete
.
Thus
syr
Peter
and
his
company
were
secretly
in
his
howse
tyll
the
day
of
the
holy
sacramente
/
and
euery

syr
Peter
had
a

brought

/
and
tyll
that
daye
he
coulde
fynde
no
tyme
to
execute
his
enterprise
/
wherwith
he
was
sore
displeased
in
hym selfe
.
The

the

kepte
a

with
open

with
all
the
lordes
that
were
there
.
Also

And

than
euery

to
their

/
some

&
some

without

.
Syr
Olyuer

who
as

And
whan
the

Their
defence
was
but
small

for
they
were
but
eight
persones
and
without

.
Sir

demaunded

But
bycause

that
made
him
execute
his
yuell
purpose
.
Wha

all
folowed

but
brake

for
lesse
suspeciousnesse

and
for

.
And
whan
this

Peter
of

prepensed

The

many

said
he
had

But
bycause
he
shewed
nat
the

of
sir
Peter
in

/
he
was
put

in

He
was
reputed
in
the
towne
of
Charters
to
be
a
noble
wyse
man
.
sir
Peter
of
Craon
beyng
in
his
castell
of
Sable
/
was
sore
displeased
whan
he
knewe
that
sir
Olyuer
of
Clysson
was
nat
deed
/
nor
had
no
hurte
/
but
that
within
sixe
wekes
he
shulde
be
hole

Than
he
consydred
that
he
was
nat
in
good
suretie
in
that
Castell
/
and
feared
to
be
enclosed
/
in
suche
wyse
/
that
he
shulde
nat
issue
whan
he
wolde
.
Thanne
he
tooke
a
certayne
with
hym
&
issued
out
secretly
/
and
rode
so
longe
that
he
came
in
to
Bretaygne

And
whanne

is
so
great

that
it
ought

The

acorded
to
all
his

but
he
dissymuled

for
he
thought
the
contrary

THe

hadde

yet
the
kyng

his

sayd
it
was
no
poynt

that
the
duke
sayde
so
to
excuse

to
susteyne
sir

wherfore
personally
he
was
in

yet
in
the

season
a
treatie
of
maryage
was
had
bytwene
the
duke
of
Bretaygnes
sonne

the
kynges
doughter

meane

this

was
thus
ordred

great
brute
therof
spoken
throughe

Frauce

There
retourned

the

of
Noyon

Bierne

shewed
the
kyng
and
his
counsayle
howe
they
had
spedde
.
They
were
well
herde
/
but
the
voyage
in
to
Bretayne
busyed
so
the
kyng
and
his
counsayle
/
that
they
had
no
leysar
to
entende
to
any
other
mater
.
And
the
kynge
wolde
gladly
that
the
constable
had
ben
hole
/
that
he
might
be
able
to
ryde
.
and
or
the
kyng
went
fro
Parys
/
he
commaunded
to
be
beaten
downe
sir
Peter
of
Craons
house
/
that
stode
in
the
churche
yarde
of
saynt
Iohans
/
and
than
the
kynge
dyde
gyue
the
grounde
to
make
a
churche
yarde
of
to
burye
in
deed
bodyes
.
The
Frenche
kyng
made
his
prouisyon
in
the
waye
to
Aniou
/
to
Mayne
/
to
Bretayne
/
and
in
to
Thourayne
on
the
ryuer
of
Loyre
/
to
the
entent
to
go
in
to
Bretayne
/
none
durst
speke
the
contrary
.
REnome
was
throughout
all
Paris
and
(
it
was
well
knowen
)
that
sir
Olyuer
of
Clisson
constable
of
Fraunce
/
whan
he
laye
thus
sicke
of
his
hurtis
made
his
testament
/
to
the
entente
that
his
heyres
shulde
knowe
the
trouthe
of
euery
thyng
that
he
had
/
and
where
it
was
.
His
heyres
were
two
doughters
/
the
one
was
maryed
to
Iohan
of
Bretayne
erle
of
Ponthieur
.
It
was
he
that
sir
Olyuer
had
quytte
out
of
prisone
in
Englande
/
and
payde
for
hym
sixscore
thou
sande
frankes
to
the
duke
of
Irelande
/
as
it
hath
ben
shewed
here
before
in
this
hystorie
.
And
his
seconde
doughter
was
or
shulde
be
vicountes
of
Rohan
by
reason
of
her
husbande
The
somme
of
the
testament
mounted
to
the
some
of
seuyntene
hundred
thousande
frankes
besyde
his
heritage
.
Euery
man
that
herde
therof
had
great
marueyle
/
howe
he
shulde
gather
toguider
/
suche
richesse
/
and
specially
the
dukes
of
Berrey
and
Burgoyne
/
&
their
counsayls
/
had
great
marueyle
therof
/
and
spake
largely
&
sayd
.
What
the
deuyll
howe
maye
it
be
that
the
constable
hath
gadered
to
guider
so
many
floreyns
/
and
suche
mouable
goodes
?
the
kyng
hym selfe
hath
nat
so
moche
.
It
maye
well
be
beleued
and
knowen
/
that
he
hath
nat
won
all
this
by
no
iust
meanes
.
Thus
the
mater
passed
/
but
suche
as
loued
hym
nat
thought
neuerthelesse
.
Thus
all
suche
as
the
kynge
had
written
vnto
prepared
them selfe
to
go
with
hym
in
to
Bretaygne
.
This
voiage
pleased
nothynge
the
duke
of
Burgoyn
/
he
sayd
this
was
a
warre
without
reason
/
and
that
the
conclusion
ther
of
coulde
take
no
good
ende
/
nor
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
nor
the
duchy
of
Bretayne
/
nor
the
lordes
/
knightes
and
squyers
/
in
them
had
nothynge
to
do
with
the
warre
bytwene
sir
Olyuer
of
Clysson
and
sir
Peter
of
Craon
.
What
nede
they
quod
he
to
take
payne
or
traueyle
to
make
warre
in
their
quarelles
?
We
shulde
rather
suffre
them
and
their
owne
men
to
greue
and
make
warre
eche
vpon
other
.
The
duke
of
Berrey
was
of
the
same
opinyon
/
but
they
coude
nat
be
herde
nor
beleued
/
for
the
kyng
was
counsayled
contrary
to
their
opinyons
/
by
suche
as
the
kyng
loued
better
than
them
.
These
dukes
coude
nat
tell
howe
to
breke
that
enterprice
/
and
whan
they
sawe
none
other
remedy
/
they
obeyed
/
But
that
was
slouthfully
/
howe
be
it
by
the
promocyon
of
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
/
the
erle
of
Ostrenaunt
was
written
vnto
by
the
kynge
to
go
with
hym
in
this
iourney
with
thre
hundred
speares
.
The
erle
who
loued
dedes
of
armes
prouyded
hym
to
go
with
the
kynge
/
and
whanne
he
was
redy
/
and
had
assembled
toguyder
his
company
to
his
great
cost
and
charge

Than
he
was
countermaunded

IN
the
same
season
that
the
kyng
was
thus
nighe
redy
to
departe
out
of
Parys
/
to
shewe
that

was
four
tymes
better

so
thus
fro
hens
forthe
in
this

I
shall
name
hym
that
was
duke
of
Thourayne
duke
of
Orlyaunce

¶
Whan
sir
Olyuer
of

was
all

that

might
ryde

the
Frenche
kyng
was
right
ioyfull

and
of

other
ladyes
and
damoselles

and
so
dyde
the
duke
of
Orlaūce
in
lykewise

Than
they
departed
and
rode
to
supper
to
Montague
/
and
the
duke
of
Burbone
/
the
erle
of
Namure

and
the

of
Coucy
with

.
There
the
kyng
laye
&
dyned
there
/
&
after
dyner
they
departed
and
laye
all
night
at
saynt
Germayns
/
and
there
laye
a
seuyn
dayes
.
and
as
than
the
kyng
was
somwhat
diseased
/
and
his
phisicions
wolde
haue
had
hym
to
haue
rested
hym selfe
/
but
the
kyng
was
so
wyllyng
in
his
iourney
/
that
he
sayde
howe
he
was
moche
better
at
his
ease
/
than
he
was
in

/
whiche
he
dyde
to
gyue
corage
to
his

to
set
forwarde
/
for
as
than
his
two
vncles
/
the
dukes
of
Berrey

Burgoyne
were
behynde

&
shewed
well
by
their
maner
/
that
the
same
iourney
greued
them

nor
they
wolde
nat
haue
gone
by
their
good
wylles
/
howe
be
it
they
hadde
made
their
assemble
and
to
saue
their
honour
they
obeyed
and
folowed
.
WHan
the
Frenche
kyng
hadde
rested
hym
a
fyftene
dayes
at
saynt
Germayns
/
and
that
his
armye
was
assembled

than
he
departed
and
passed
the
ryuer
of

/
and
toke
the
waye

and
so
to
Annens
/
a

parteyning

With
the
kynge
was
his

honorably

and
there
taryed
thre
dayes

and
than
rode
to
Charters
where
as
Montague
was

The
kynge
was
lodged
in
the
bysshoppe
palais
and
the
two
dukes
.
And
the
seconde
day
after
thyder
came
the

in
his
company
.
And
the
fourh
daye
thider
came

wher
of
the
kynge
was
ryght
ioyfull
/
and
people
came
dayle

and
the
kyng
sayd
he
wolde
nat
retourne
to
Parys
tyll
he
hadde
brought
the
duke
of
Bretayne
to
reason
/
who
so
often
tymes
had
put
hym
to
payne
and
trouble
.
The
kynges
counsayle
hadde
so
sette
hym
on
that
warre
/
that
the
dukes
of
Berrey
and
of
Burgoyne
wolde
gladly
haue
modered
the
mater
/
but
they
coulde
nat
be
herde
/
wherwith
they
were
sore
displeased
/
&
so
were
suche
as
were
of
their
counsayls
:
and
they
said
eche
to
other
that
surely
the
mater
coude
nat
long
endure
in
that
state
/
for
it
is
full
lykely
that
the
kynge
and
the
realme
shall
haue
some
busynesse
to
do
/
sithe
the
kyng
refuseth
the
counsaile
of
his
vncles
/
and
leaneth
to
other
at
his
pleasure
/
who
be
nothyng
lyke
to
them
.
Whan
the
kyng
had
taried
at
Charters
a
seuyn
dayes
/
than
he
departed
and
toke
the
waye
to
Mans
and
his
men
folowed
/
some
fro
farre
partes
/
as
out
of
Arthois
/
Beamoys
/
Vermandois
/
and
Picardy
:
and
some
said
one
to
another
.
Ah
/
this
duke
of
Bretayne
maketh
vs
to
haue
moche
to
do
/
&
putteth
vs
to
great
payne
and

He
hath
been
alwayes
harde
&
highe
herted
agaynst
the
crowne
of
Fraunce
/
nor
he
neuer
loued
nor
honored
it
.
And
his
cosyn
the
erle
of
Flaunders
and
the
duchesse
of
Burgone
(
who
haue
alwayes
borne
hym
and
as
yet
do
)
had
nat
ben

he
had
ben
distroyed
long
a

/
for
euersyth
the
lorde
Clysson
tourned
Frenche
/
he
neuer
loued
him
.
Surelye
by
an
likely●
,
●de
he
is
●●●yable
of
this
dede
/
for
he
hath
alwayes
〈◊〉
sir
Peter
of
Craon
agaynst
the
kyng
and
agaynst
the
Constable
.
Than
other
sayde
.
Lette
the
kyng
alone
/
for
as
at
this
tyme
he
hath
the
mater
so
at
his
hert
/
that
he
wyll
bring
the
duke
to
reason
or
he
retourne
.
That
is
trewe
qd
other
if
there
be
no
trayson
.
But
we
feare
that
all
suche
as
go
with
the
kyng
be
nat
enemies
to
the
duke
/
as
it
may
be
well
〈◊〉
(
if
we
durst
speke
it
)
by
some
tokens
.
For
there
be
some
that
nyght
and
daye
do
what
they
can
to
counsayle
the
kynge
to
breke
his
voyage
/
whiche
so
troubleth
the
kyng
that
he
can
scant
gette
hym selfe
any
helthe
or
recouery
of
his
laste
sickenesse
.
Thus
knightes
and
squiers
deuised
among
them selfe
as
they
rode
in
their
countreys
.
Styll
the
kyng
aproched
to
the
cytie
of
Mans
/
and
there
the
kynge
lodged
in
the
castell
and
his
lordes
in
the
cytie
/
and
his
men
of
warre
abrode
in
the
countrey
.
There
the
kyng
taried
a
thre
wickes
/
for
he
was
sore
vexed
with
the
feuer
:
and
his
phisicions
sayde
to
his
brother
and
to
his
vncles
.
My
lordes
we
ensure
you
ye
do
yuell
to
traueyle
the
kyng
for
he
is
in
no
good
state
to
ryde
/
rest
were
farre
better
for
hym
/
for
sythe
he
came
fro
the
cytie
of
Amyens
/
he
hath
nat
ben
in
so
good
helthe
/
as
he
was
before
.
They
shewed
this
to
the
kynge
but
he
had
so
great
affection
to
go
in
this
iourney
/
that
he
wolde
nother
beleue
them
nor
yet
his
phisycions
/
but
sayde
.
howe
he
founde
more
ease
in
trauelyng
than
in
restyng
.
Therfore
who
so
euer
counsayle
me
the
contrary
shall
nat
please
me
/
nor
he
loueth
me
nat
.
Other
answere
they
coulde
nat
haue
of
the
kyng
.
Euery
day
the
kyng
wolde
sytte
in
the
myddes
of
his
counsayle
/
tyll
it
was
noon
/
to
th
entent
that
none
shulde
laye
any
lette
of
his
iourney
.
Thus
the
kyng
being
at
Mans
/
and
somwhat
to
acomplysshe
the
desyers
of
his
vncles
.
He
sent
four
notable
knightes
to
the
duke
of
Bretayne
/
as
sir
Raynolde
du
Roy
/
the
lorde
of
Varensiers
/
the
lorde
of
Castell
morant
/
and
sir
Tāpyne
of
Cauten●l
chateleyne
of
Gysors
/
and
they
were
charged
to
shewe
the
duke
/
howe
the
kyng
and
his
counsaile
reputed
that
he
dyde
great
offence
/
to
susteyne
the
kynges
enemy
and
the
realmes
/
and
to
make
amendes
/
that
he
shulde
sende
sir
Peter
of
Craon
to
Mans
to
the
kyng
/
wherby
meanes
shulde
be
founde
that
he
shulde
take
no
dommage
/
nor
his
countrey
/
for
all
the
kynges
voyage
.
Thus
they
departed
fro
Mans
with
a
.xl.
speres
/
&
passed
through
the
cyte
of
Angiers
and
at
last
came
before
the
cytie
of
Nauntes
/
and
entred
/
and
there
sounde
the
duke
who
made
them
good
chere
/
and
on
a
daye
made
them
a
dyner
/
and
than
they
dyde
their
message
and
declared
the
kynges
entent
and
his
counsayls
/
whervnto
the
duke
answered
wisely
and
sagely
/
&
said
Howe
it
shulde
be
harde
for
hym
to
delyuer
sir
Peter
of
Craon
/
and
sayd
as
god
myght
helpe
hym
in
all
his
busynesse
/
he
knewe
nat
where
he
was
.
Wherfore
he
desyred
them
in
that
case
to
holde
hym
excused
/
But
he
sayde
he
had
well
herde
of
hym
a
yere
past
/
that
he
loued
nat
sir
Olyuer
of
Clysson
/
but
wolde
make
him
mortall
warre
to
his
power
/
what
soeuer
ende
came
therof
.
And
at
that
tyme
I
demaunded
of
hym
if
he
had
gyuen
sir
Olyuer
knowledge
therof
/
and
he
sayd
he
had
vtterly
defyed
and
wolde
slee
hym
if
he
coude
/
outher
by
daye
or
by
nyght
/
where
soeuer
he
coude
fynde
hym
.
Of
his
dedes
I
knowe
no
further
/
wherfore
I
haue
marueyle
that
the
kynge
wyll
make
warre
agaynst
me
for
his
cause
.
for
as
to
the
couynauntes
of
maryage
bytwene
our
chyldren
by
the
grace
of
God
/
shall
nat
be
broken
on
my
parte
/
wherfore
I
haue
done
nothynge
to
hym
nor
to
his
counsaile
/
that
he
shulde
make
warre
agaynst
me
This
was
the
aunswere
that
the
duke
made
to
the
Frenche
kynges
messangers
/
and
so
whan
they
hadde
taryed
a
daye
at
Nauntes
/
than
they
toke
their
leaue
and
departed
and
retourned
to
Mans
to
the
kyng
/
who
thought
longe
tyll
he
herde
their
aunswere
/
and
as
ye
haue
herde
before
:
they
declared
it
to
the
kyng
and
his
counsayle
.
The
dukes
of
Berrey
&
of
Burgoyne
were
well
content
with
the
answere
and
sayd
it
was
reasonable
/
but
the
kyng
by
reason
of
suche
enformacion
as
he
had
sayde
the
contrary
:
and
sayd
sithe
he
was
so
forewarde
in
his
iourney
/
he
wolde
nat
returne
agayne
in
to
Fraunce
nor
to
Parys
/
tyll
he
had
brought
the
duke
of
Bretayne
to
reason
Gladly
the
two
dukes
of
Berrey
and
Burgoyne
wolde
haue
modered
that
voiage
/
but
they
might
nat
be
herde
/
for
the
kyng
had
taken
suche
displeasure
with
the
duke
of
Bretayn

bicause
he
susteyned

for

I
am

I
beleue
surely
the
traytour
syr
Peter
of

is
in
none
other
Barcylona
nor
prisone
/
but
aboute
the
duke
of

/
and
by
my
faythe
that
I
owe
to
saint
Denyce
/
he
shall
ones
make
acompt
therof
.
There
coulde
no
man
turne
the
kynge
fro
the
opinyon
/
but
that
syr
Peter
of
Craon
was
with
the
duke
of
Bretaygne
.
The
duke
of
Bretayne
who
was
well
enfourmed
of
all
this
busynesse
/
thought
hymselfe
nat
well
assured
/
for
he
sawe
well
the
dukes
of
Berrey
and
Burgoyne
coulde
nat
bring
their
purpose
aboute
/
for
syr
Olyuer
of
Clyssons
frendes
led
the
kynge
as
they
lyste
.
Than
the
duke
prouyded
for
to
kepe
his
townes
and
garysons
/
howe
be
it
he
durst
kepe
no
towne
except
Wannes
/
Campell
/
Doll
/
Camper
/
Lermyn
/
Corātyne
/
and
Susement
/
and
he
wrote
to
suche
knyghtes
and
squyers
as
he
thought
shulde
ayde
him
/
but
they
all
dissymuled
with
hym
/
bycause
they
knewe
that
the
french
kyng
was
so
sore
displeased
with
hym
/
and
also
they
thought
it
was
nat
a
thynge
couenable
for
the
duke
to
susteyne
syr
Peter
of
Craon
agaynst
the
constable
of
Fraunce
/
as
he
dyd
.
The
duke
in
a
maner
repented
hym
that
he
had
done
so
moche
/
howe
be
it
his
corage
and
herte
was
so
hygh
that
he
dysdayned
to
speke
it
/
but
sayde
if
the
kynge
came
in
to
Bretayne
/
as
it
semed
he
wolde
do
/
at
the
begynnynge
he
wolde
let
hym
alone
/
and
thanne
shall
I
se
who
be
my
frendes
or
foos
/
I
wyll
nat
be
to
hasty
to
make
him
warre
/
and
whan
he
weneth
to
be
at
most
rest
/
than
wyll
I
awake
hym
if
I
can
nat
be
a
greed
with
hym
by
loue
.
Thus
the
duke
deuysed
somtyme
with
his
counsayle
/
and
thought
surely
he
shulde
haue
warre
/
howe
be
it
he
had
nat
/
for
the
maters
tourned
otherwyse
to
his
great
aduauntage
.
therfore
it
is
an
olde
prouerbe
/
he
is
nat
poore
that
is
happy
.
This
duke
was
fortunate
/
by
reason
of
apytuous
incydence
that
fell
sodaynly
on
the
frenche
kynge
/
for
otherwyse
the
duke
was
nat
lykely
to
haue
scaped
all
daungers
/
and
to
haue
lyued
in
peace
as
he
dyd
.
WHan
the
Frenche
kynge
had
taryed
the
space
of
thre
wekes
in
the
cytie
of
Mans
/
and
the
knyghtes
retourned
that
he
had
sent
in
to
Bretayne
.
Than
he
sayd
syth
he
had
herde
the
dukes
answere
he
wolde
no
lenger
tary
there
/
for
he
sayd
the
taryenge
there
greatly
displeased
him
/
and
wolde
passe
forthe
in
to
Bretaygne
to
se
his
enemys
/
that
was
the
duke
of
Bretaygne
/
who
susteyd
the
traytour
syr
Peter
of
Craon
.
The
entencyon
of
the
kynge
was
/
that
if
any
knyghtes
and
squyers
came
agaynst
hym
/
or
that
he
founde
any
townes
closed
he
wolde
put
downe
the
duke
for
euer
/
and
set
a
gouernour
in
the
countrey
tyll
the
dukes
chyldren
were
of
lawfull
age
/
and
than
rendre
to
them
the
berytage
/
and
the
duke
neuer
to
haue
any
parte
theof
.
This
opinyon
the
king
helde
styll
and
no
man
coude
put
hym
therfro
.
and
thus
on
a
fayre
daye
aboute
ten
of
the
clocke
the
kynge
departed
fro
the
cytie
of
Mans
/
and
had
commaunded
his
marshalles
the
nyght
before
to
cause
all
his
at
mye
bothe
before
and
behynde
to
dysloge
and
to
drawe
to
Angers
/
and
sayde
that
he
wolde
nat
retourne
tyll
he
had
ben
in
Bretayne
and
dystroyed
the
traytours
that
had
put
hym
to
so
moche
payne
and
trouble
.
The
marshalles
dyd
the
kinges
commaundement
.
The
day
that
the
king
departed
was
marueylous
hoote
/
for
me
sonne
as
than
naturally
was
in
his
cheife
force
/
and
to
the
entent
to
declare
the
trouth
of
euery
thyng
.
The
same
season
that
the
kynge
lay
at
Mans
/
he
was
sore
traueyled
with
dayly
syttynge
in
counsayle
/
and
also
he
was
nat
perfytely
hole
nor
had
nat
ben
all
that
season
/
he
was
feble
in
his
brayne
and
heed
/
and
dyd
eate
or
drinke
but
lytell
/
and
nygh
dayly
was
in
a
hoote
feuer
/
so
that
he
was
gretly
anoyed
and
payned
/
and
also
for
the
dyspleasure
that
he
had
for
the
constables
hurte
/
he
was
full
of
malencoly
and
his
spirytes
sore
troubled
and
traueyled
/
and
that
his
physicions
spyed
well
and
so
dyd
his
vncles
/
but
they
coulde
nat
remedy
it
/
for
no
man
durste
counsayle
hym
to
breke
his
voyage
in
to
Bretaygne
.
And
as
it
was
enfourmed
me
/
as
he
rode
forwarde
in
the
forest
of
Mans
/
a
great
sygnifycacyon
fell
to
hym
/
by
the
whiche
if
he
had
doone
well
he
shulde
haue
called
his
counsayle
aboute
hym
and
well
aduysed
hymselfe
or
he
had
gone
any
further
.
Sodaynly
there
came
to
the
kynge
a
poore
man
bare
heeded
/
bare
legged
/
and
bare
footed
/
and
on
his
body
a
poore
whyte
cote
/
he
semed
rather
to
be
a
foole
than
wyse
/
and
boldely
sodaynly
he
toke
the
brydell
of
the
kynges
horse
in
his
handes
and
stopped
the
horse
and
sayd
.
Syr
kyng
tyde
no
further
forward
for
thou
arte
betrayed
.
Those
wordes
entred
into
the
kynges
heed
/
wherby
he
was
worse
dysposed
in
his
helthe
than
he
was
before
/
so
that
his
herte
&
his
blode
was
moued
.
Than
the
kinges
seruauntes
strake
so
the
poore
man
that
he
lette
the
kynges
horse
go
/
and
made
no
more
of
his
wordes
than
of
a
fooles
spekyng
/
whiche
was
foly
as
dyuers
men
sayde
/
for
at
the
leste
they
shulde
haue
better
examyned
the
man
/
and
to
haue
sene
if
he
had
ben
a
naturall
foole
or
no
/
and
to
haue
knowen
fro
whence
he
came
/
but
they
dyde
nat
so
/
but
lefte
hym
behynde
/
&
he
was
neuer
sene
after
to
any
mannes
knowledge
/
but
suche
as
were
nere
to
the
Kynge
herde
hym
speke
these
wordes
.
The
kynge
passed
forthe
/
and
aboute
twelue
of
the
clocke
the
kynge
passed
out
of
the
forest
/
and
came
in
to
a
great
playne
all
sandy
.
the
sonne
also
was
in
his
heyght
&
shone
bright
/
whose
rayes
were
marueylously
hote
/
wherby
the
horses
were
sore
chafed
/
and
all
suche
persons
as
were
armed
were
sore
oppressed
with
heat
.
The
knyghtes
rode
togyther
by
companyes
/
some
here
and
some
there
/
and
the
kynge
rode
somwhat
a

There
hath
been
sene
in

in

many
fygures

examples
therof

We
rede
howe
Nabugodonosor
kynge
of
Assyryens
/
who
reygned
a
season
in
suche
tryumphant
glory
/
that
there
was
none
lyke

and
sodaynly
in
his

the

out

god
kynge
of

a
parelled
this
sayd
kynge
in
suche
wyse
that
he
lost
his
wytte
and
reygne
and
was
seuen
yers
in
that
estate
/
and
lyued
by
acornes
and
mast
that
fell
fro
the
Okes
/
and
other
wylde
appels
and
frutes
/
and
hadde
tast
but
as
a
bore
or
a
swyne
.
and
after
he
had
endured
this
penaunce
god
restored
hym
agayne
to
his
memory
and
wytte
.
And
than
he
sayde
to
Danyell
the
prophet
/
that
there
was
none
other
god
/
but
the
god
of
Israell
.
Nowe
the
father
/
the
sonne
/
and
the
holy
goost
/
thre
persones
in
one
god
/
hath
ben
/
is
/
and
euer
shall
be
as
puissaunt
to
shewe
his
warkes
as
euer
he
was
/
wherfore
no
man
shulde
marueyle
of
any
thyng
that
he
dothe
.
Nowe
to
the
purpose
why
I
speke
all
these
wordes
.
A
great
influence
fro
heuen
fell
the
sayd
daye
vpon
the
frenche
kynge
/
and
as
dyuers
sayd
/
it
was
his
owne
faute
/
for
acordynge
to
the
dysposicyon
of
his
body
/
and
the
state
that
he
was
in
/
and
the
warnyng
that
his
physicyons
dyd
gyue
hym
/
he
shulde
nat
haue
rydden
in
suche
a
hoote
day
/
at
that
houre
/
but
rather
in
the
mornynge
and
in
the
euenynge
in
the
fresshe
ayre
/
wherfore
it
was
a
shame
to
them
that
were
nere
aboute
hym
/
to
suffre
or
to
counsayle
hym
to
do
as
he
dyd
.
Thus
as
the
frenche
kynge
rode
vpon
a
fayre
playne
in
the
heate
of
the
Sonne
/
whiche
was
as
than
of
a
marueylous
heyght
/
and
the
kynge
had
on
a
●ac●e
couered
with
blacke
veluet
/
whiche
sore
chafed
hym
/
and
on
his
heed
a
syngle
bonet
of
scarlet
/
and
a
chapelet
of
great
perles
/
whiche
the
quene
had
gyuen
hym
at
his
departure
/
and
he
had
a
page
that
rode
behynde
him
/
beatynge
on
his
heed
a
chapewe
of
Montaban
/
bright
and
clere
shynynge
agaynst
the
sonne
/
and
behynde
that
page
rode
a nother
bearing
the
kynges
speare
/
paynted
redde
/
and
frynged
with
sylke
/
with
a
sharpe
heed
of
stele
/
the
lord
de
la
Ryuer
had
brought
a
dosyn
of
them
with
hym
fro
Tholouse
/
and
that
was
one
of
them
he
had
gyuen
the
hole
dosyn
to
the
king
/
and
the
kynge
had
gyuen
thre
of
theym
to
his
brother
the
duke
of
Orlyaunce
/
and
thre
to
the
duke
of
Burbon
.
And
as
they
rode
thus
forth
the
page
that
bare
the
speare
/
whether
it
were
by
neclygence
or
that
he
fell
a
slepe
/
he
lette
the
speare
fall
on
the
other
pages
heed
that
rode
before
hym
/
and
the
heed
of
the
speare
made
a
great
classhe
on
the
bright
chapewe
of
stele
.
The
kynge
(
who
rode
but
afore
them
)
with
the
noyse
sodaynly
started
/
and
his
herte
trymbled
/
and
in
to
his
imagynacion
ranne
the
inpressyon
of
the
wordes
of
the
man
that
stopped
his
horse
in
the
forest
of
Mans
/
and
it
ran
in
to
his
thought
/
that
his
enemyes
ranne
after
hym
to
slee
and
distroy
him
/
and
with
that
abusyon
he
fell
out
of
his
wytte
by
feblenesse
of
his
heed
/
&
dasshed
his
spores
to
his
horse
/
and
drewe
out
he
sworde
/
and
tourned
to
his
pages
/
hauynge
no
knowledge
of
any
man
/
wenynge
in
hymselfe
to
be
in
a
batayle
inclosed
with
his
enemyes
/
and
lyfte
vp
his
sworde
to
stryke
he
cared
nat
where
/
and
cryed
and
sayd
.
On
on
vpon
these
traytours
.
Whan
the
pages
sawe
the
kynge
so
inflamed
with
Ire
/
they
tooke
good
hede
to
themselfe
/
as
it
was
tyme
.
They
thought
the
kynge
had
ben
dyspleased
bycause
the
speare
fell
downe
/
thanne
they
stepte
away
fro
the
kynge
.
The
duke
of
Orleaunce
was
nat
as
thanne
farre
of
fro
the
kynge
.
The
kynge
came
to
hym
with
his
naked
sworde
in
his
hande
.
The
kynge
was
as
than
in
suche
a
fransey
/
and
his
herte
so
feble
/
that
he
nother
knewe
brother
nor
vncle
.
Whan
the
duke
of
Orlyaunce
sawe
the
kynge
commynge
on
hym
with
his
sworde
naked
in
his
ha●de
●he
was
abasshed
and
wolde
nat
abyde

/
he
wyste
nat
what
he
mente
/
he
dasshed
his
spurres
to
his
horse
and
rode
awaye
/
and
the
kynge
after
hym
.
The
duke
of
Burgoyne
who
rode
a
lytell
waye
of
fro
the
kynge
whan
he
herde
the
russhyng
of
the
horses
/
and
herde
the
pages
crye
/
he
regarded
that
waye
/
and
sawe
howe
the
kynge
with
his
naked
sworde
chased
his
brother
the
duke
of
Orlyaunce
/
he
was
sore
abasshed
&
sayd
.
Out
harowe
what
myschife
is
this
/
the
kynge
is
nat
in
his
ryght
mynde
/
god

.
Flye
away
nephewe
/
flye
away
/
for
the
kynge
wolde

.
The
duke
of
Orlyance
was
nat
well
assured
of
him selfe
/
and
fledde
awaye
as
faste
as
his
horse
myght
beare
hym
/
and
knyghtes
and
squyers
folowed
after
/
euery
man
began
to
drawe
thyder
.
Such
as
were
farre
of
thought
they
had
chafed
an
hare
or
a
wolfe
/
tyll
at
last
they
herd
that
the
Kynge
was
nat
well
in
his
mynde
.
The
duke
of
Orlyance
saued
himselfe
.
Than
men
of
armes
came
all
aboute
the
kynge
/
and
suffred
hym
to
wery
hym selfe
/
and
the
more
that
he
traueyled
the
febler
he
was
/
and
whan
he
strake
at
any
man
/
they
wolde
fall
downe
before
the
stroke
.
At
this
matter
there
was
no
hurte
/
but
many
ouerthrowen
/
for
there
was
none
that
made
any
defence
.
Fynally
/
whan
the
kyng
was
well
●eryed
/
and
his
horse
sore
chafed
with
sw●te
/
and
great
heate
/
a
knyght
of
Normandy
one
of
the
kynges

●aynes
/
whome
the
kynge
loued
very
well

called
Gyllyam
Martell●
he
came
behynde
the
kyng
sodaynely
and
tooke
hym
in
his
armes
/
and
helde
hym
styll
.
Than
all
other
aproched
/
and
toke
the
sworde
out
of
his
handes
/
and
tooke
hym
downe
fro
his
horse
and
dyd
of
his
●acke
thre
refresshe

.
Than
came
his
brother
and
his
〈◊〉
vncles
but
he
had
clene
lost
the
knowledge
of
them
/
and
rolled
his
eyen
in
his
heed
marueylously
/
and
spake
to
no
man
.
The
lordes
of
his
blode
were
sore
abasshed
and
wyste
nat
what
to
sayd
or
do
.
Than
the
dukes
of
Berrey
and
of
Burgoyne
sayde
/
it
behoueth
vs
to
recourne
to
Mans
/
this
voyage
is
doone
for
this

.
They
sayde
nat
as
moche
as
they
thought
/
but
they
shewed
it
ryght
well
after
whan
they
came
to
Parys
/
to
suche
as
they
loued
nat
/
as
ye
shall
here
after
.
REasonably
to
consydre
all
thinges
acordynge
to
the
trouthe
/
it
was
great
pytie
that
the
french
kyng
(
who
as
at
that
tyme
was
reputed
for
the
moste
noble
and
puyssaunt
kynge
in
all
crystendome
/
fell
so
sodaynly
out
of
his
mynde
with
out
remedy
/
but
as
god
wolde
.
than
the
kynge
was
layde
in
a
horse
lyttoure
/
and
so
brought
backe
agayne
to
the
Cytie
of
Mans.
Than
the
marshalles
gaue
knowledge
to
all
the
armye
/
that
they
shulde
retourne
/
and
howe
that
the
voyage
was
broken
as
at
that
tyme
.
some
had
knowledge
why
/
and
some
nat
.
The
nyght
that
the
kynge
came
to
Mans
/
the
physicyons
had
moche
a
do
with
hym
/
and
the
lordes
of
the
blode
royall
had
great
trouble
.
Euery
man
spake
than
in
dyuer●
maners
.
some
sayd
that
suche
as
hadde
the
rule
aboute
the
kynge
had
poysoned
hym
/
to
brynge
the
Realme
of
Fraunce
in
to
shame
and
trouble
.
These
wordes
multyplyed
in
suche
wyse
that
the
duke
of
Orlyance
and
his
vncles
and
other
lordes
of
the
blode
royall
noted
them
/
and
spake
togyther
and
sayde
.
Howe
saye
you
syrs
/
haue
ye
nat
herde
these
wordes
/
and
howe
menne
do
murmure
in
dyuets
places
vpon
theym
that
hath
had
the
gouernaunce
of
the
kynge
.
some
saythe
he
shulde
be
poysoned
/
lette
vs
sertche
howe
this
maye
be
knowen
.
Than
some
of
them
sayde
howe
it
shulde
be
best
knowen
by
the
physycyons
/
they
ought
to
knowe
it
/
for
they
are
acquaynted
with
his
complexcyon
.
The
physicyons
were
sent
for
and
examyned
.
They
answered
howe
the
kyng
of
longe
tyme
had
engendred
the
same
malady
/
for
we
knewe
well
the
wekenes
of
his
brayne
wold
sore
trouble
hym
/
and
at
laste
shewe
it selfe
/
we
haue
sayde
as
moche
before
this
tyme
.
Than
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
sayde
.
Syrs
it
is
trewe
/
and
therin
ye
dyd
well
acquyte
your selfe
/
but
he
wolde
neyther
beleue
you
nor
vs
his
affeciyon
was
so
sore
sette
vpon
this
voyage
/
it
was
deuysed
in
an
yuell
tyme
.
This
voyage
hathe
dyshonoured
vs
all
.
It
had
been
better
that
Clysson
/
and
all
those
of
his
affynyte
had
ben
deed
many
a
daye
agone
/
rather
than
the
kynge
to
haue
taken
this
malady
.
These
tydynges
shall
sprede
abrode
in
many
places
/
and
seyng
that
he
is
but
a
yonge
man
/
the
blame
shall
be
layde
in
vs
that
be
his
vncles
/
and
of
his
blode
/
men
wyll
saye
that
we
shulde
otherwyse
haue
counsayled
hym
.
Thus
we
shall
be
laide
in
the
faute
without

.
but
sirs
quod
the
duke
/
yesterday
whan
he
wente
to
dyner
/
were

hym
?
The
physicyons
aunswered
and
sayd
yes
.

The

IN
this
seasone
there
was
in
the

of
Fraunce
a
wyse
and
a
sage
physicyon
/
the
brewte
was

there
was
none

Coucy
/
he
was
natyue
of

As
at
that

his

he
was
called

Guylliam

Whan

is

through

these
wordes
were
reported
to
the

Coucy

who
was
as

at

with

/
outher
his

the
duke

Orlyance
/
or
his
two
vncles
/
or
one
of
them
.
vpon
this
communycacion
they
were
a
.xv.
dayes
or
they
agreed
.
Fynally
it
was
concluded
bycause
the
duke
of
Orlyaunce
was
very
yonge
to
take
on
hym
so
great
a
charge
/
that
the
dukes
of
Berrey
and
Burgoyne
shulde
haue
the

and
specyally
the

and
that
the

of

shulde
be
aboute
the
quene
and
to

seconde
person
.
Thus
as
I

/
the
great

/
mayster
Guyllyam
Harseley
.
Whan
the
dukes
herde
that
they
sente
for
hym
/
and
so
he
came
to
Parys
.
And
than
the
lorde
of
Couey
presented
hym
to
the
kynges
vncles
/
and
sayd
.
My
lordes
beholde
here
is
mayster
Guyllyam
Harseley
/
that
I
shewed
you

He
is
ryght

quod
the

receyued

made

and
ordeyned
hym
to
go

Crayell
to
vysyte
the
kynge
/
and
to
abyde
aboute
hym
tyll
he
hadde
recouered
his
helthe
.
Than
the
sayd
mayster
at
their
commaundement
went
to
Crayell
to
the
kynge
/
and
had
the
chiefe
ouer
syght
of
mynystryng
any
thynge
to
the
kyng
/
and
he
sawe
well
the
kynges
malady
was
curable
/
and
sawe
howe
he
had
taken
it
by
reasone
of
feblenesse
of
his
herte
and
heed
/
and
through
faute
/
therfore
he
dyd
his
dylygence
to
recouer
his
helthe
.
THe
tydynges
of
the
kynges
malady
spred
farre
abrode
/
but
who
so
euer
was
sorye
/
ye
maye
well
knowe
the
duke
of
Bretaygne
nor
syr
Peter
of
Craon
wepte
neuer
a
deale
/
nor
had
no
great
sorowe
.
Also
whan
pope
Boryface
of
Rome
and
his
cardynals
knowe
the
trouthe
/
they
were
right
ioyfull
/
and
drewe
togyther
in
consistory
/
and
sayde
howe
their
greatest
enemy
the
Frenche
kynge
was
beaten
with
a
cruell
rodde
/
seyng
god
had
taken
fro
hym
his
wytte
/
and
sayde
howe
that
influence
was
sente
to
hym
fro
heuen
to
chastyce
hym
withall
/
bycause
he
had
so
moche
susteyned
the
pope
at
Auignon
/
therfore
this
cruell
plage
was
sent
to
hym
to
cause
the
hole
realme
to
be
better
aduysed
/
therfore
they
sayd
their
quarell
was
the
stronger
.
And
truely
to
haue
wysely
consydred
euery
thynge
it
was
a
great
token
to
haue
caused
the
cardynalles
at
Auygnon
to
haue
been
aduysed
/
but
they
made
but
lytell
force
therof
/
nother
to
the
honour
of
god
nor
to
the

/
for
the

the

therby

excessyuely
in

be

none
other
/
for
it
is
through
their

so
contynued

and
haue
folowed
the
counsayle
of
his
vncles
/
this
sycknesse
had
nat
fallen
to
hym
nowe
.
Also
he
hath
broken
his
promesse
against
reason
/
for
he
promysed
the
yere
passed
and
sware
by
the
wordes
of
a
kynge
/
that
he
wolde
so
ordayne
to
dystroy
the
antepape
at
Rome
and
his
cardynals
/
and
to
subdue
the
sysme
of
the
churche
/
and
to
sette
the
maters
that
be
in
trouble
in
good
estate
/
whiche
is
nothynge
doone
/
but
hathe
doone
contrary
to
his
promesse
/
wherwith
god
is
dyspleased
/
and
to
cause
hym
better
to
aduyse
him selfe
/
he
hathe
punysshed
hym
with
this
cruell
rodde
.
And
if
he
retourne
to
helte
/
as
he
may
well
do
/
than
it
shall
behoue
vs
to
sende
to
him
sufficyent
legates
/
to
shewe
hym
wysely
the
defaute
and
brekyng
of
his
promesse
/
that
he
forgette
it
nat
by
reason
of
our
neclygence
.
THus
the
pope
and
his
cardynalles
at
Auignon
spake
and
comuned
toguyder
/
and
layde
the
defaute
of
the
kynges
malady
/
on
the
counsayle
of
Fraunce
/
and
on
suche
as
were
about
the
kynge
in
his
chambre
.
Of
the
same
oppinyon
were
many
other
folkes
in
the
realme
of
Fraunce
.
They
that
were
about
the
kynge
sence
the
kynges
offrynge
to
a
towne
called
Aresnecke
/
in
the
countie
of
Heynaulte
/
bytwene
Cambrey
&
Valencennes
.
In
the
whiche
towne
there
was
a
Churche
/
parteyninge
to
an

of
saynt
Waste
in
Arrasce
/
wherin
there
lyeth
a

Acquayre

of
whom
there
is
a
shrme
of
syluer
/
whiche
pylgrimage
is
sought
farre
and
nere
/
for
the
malady
or
frasey
.
Thyder
was
sente
a
man
of
waxe

representynge

Frenche
kynge
/
and
was
humbly
offred
to
the

that
he
myght
be
meane
to
God
/
to

In

/
whiche

had
meryce

And
in
lykewise
o●ryngꝭ
were

Whan
the
tidynges
were
come

to
Englande
/
the
kynge
and
his
counsayle
were
sore
troubled
therwith
/
and
specially
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
and
he
sayd
to
suche
knyghtes
and
squyers
as
were
aboute
hym
.
Sirs
/
surely
it
is
great
pytic
of
the
Frenche
kynge
/
for
he
semed
to
be
a
man
of
great
enterprice
/
and
of
great
desyre
to
do
well
.
He
sayde
to
me
at
Amyence
whan
I
departed
fro
hym
.
Fayre
cosyn
or
Lancastre
/
I
desyre
you
hertely
to

/
that
a

made
bytwene

and

to

we
myght

who
hath
conquered
the
Realme
of
Armony

and
dothe
that

By
our
goyne
thider
our

&
we
are
all
bounde
therto

And
nowe
by
the
Frenche
kynges
malady
the

is
sore
letted
and
hyndred
for
he
shall
neuer

All
that
herde
the
duke
sayde
.
It
was
trewe
/
and
that
it
was
lyke
to
be

Thus

owne
called
the
castell
Ioselyn
/
and
there
taryed
to
here
other
newes
.
For
all
that
the
Barrois
or
Barres
and
the
other
knightes
in
his
company
/
lette
nat
to
do
their
enterprice
as
they
were
charged
/
but
came
to
Mount
le
Heury
/
and
entred
in
to
the
towne
/
and
besieged
the
castell
and
taryed
there
all
a
nyght
/
wenynge
that
the
Constable
hadde
ben
within
/
but
he
was
gone
/
as
ye
haue
herde
:
and
the
nexte
mornynge
they
thought
to
assaute
the
Castell
.
The
seruauntes
within
the
castell
sente
out
to
knowe
what
they
wolde
haue
/
or
what
they
demaunded
.
They
sayde
they
wolde
haue
sir
Olyuer
of
Clysson
/
&
therfore
they
were
come
.
They
answered
and
said
/
that
he
was
departed
thens
foure
dayes
passed
/
and
offred
to
open
the
gates
to
sertche
for
hym
.
the
knightes
went
in
to
the
castell
with
all
their
company
armed
/
for
scare
of
enbusshement
within
the
castell
.
They
sertched
highe
and
lowe
and
founde
for
trouthe
that
he
was
nat
there
.
Thanne
they
departed
and
retourned
to
Parys
/
and
shewed
howe
they
had
sped
.
WHan
the
dukes
of
Burgoyne
&
Berrey
knewe
that
sir
Olyuer
Clysson
was
scaped
/
they
were
sore
displeased
/
and
the
dukes
of
Orlyaunce
and
of
Burbone
ryght
ioyfull
.
Than
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
sayde
.
It
semeth
well
that
he
douteth
hym selfe
/
seynge
he
is
fledde
awaye
.
yet
for
all
that
he
is
so
quytte
/
we
shall
cause
hym
to
come
agayne
shortely
/
or
les
he
shall
lese
all
that
he
hath
/
that
we
can
sette
our
handes
on
.
for
we
haue
to
laye
to
his
charge
/
dyuers
artycles
vnresonable
/
whiche
requyre
iudgement
of
punisyon
.
and
if
suche
as
be
great
be
nat
corrected
/
the
maters
shall
nat
be
equally
proporcioned
/
for
suche
as
be
but
small
personages
shall
grudge
/
and
saye
they
haue
wrong
to
be
punysshed
/
and
the
great
to
scape
.
therfore
iustyce
ought
to
be
equall
/
and
to
spare
nother
gret
nor
small
/
wherby
any
ensample
shulde
growe
.
Thus
the
duke
of
Burgoyn
deuysed
of
sir
Olyuer
of
Clysson
/
who
was
in
Bretaygne
/
in
his
castell
called
Ioselyn
/
whiche
forteresse
was
well
prouyded
for
of
all
thynges
necessary
.
Whan
the
Barrois
of
Barres
was
retourned
to
Parys
/
and
had
shewed
that
sir
Olyuer
of
Clysson
was
departed
fro
Mount
le
Heury
/
and
gone
to
the
castell
of
Ioselyn
in
Bretayne
.
Than
he
was
commaunded
to
go
to
Amyence
&
there
to
take
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuer
.
The
next
day
he
rode
with
his
companye
to
Amyence
/
a
fayre
forteresse
besyde
Charters
/
whiche
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuer
helde
by
right
of
his
wyfe
/
the
lady
of
Mans.
He
had
greatly
amended
that
castell
/
and
was
welbeloued
of
the
men
of
his
countrey
/
for
he
loued
alwayes
nothyng
but
trouth
.
Than
the
dukes
commissyoners
came
thyder
and
dyde
as
they
had
in
charge
/
and
founde
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuer
there
/
and
his
wyfe
&
his
chyldren
.
the
knight
loked
for
nothyng
els
/
for
he
might
haue
ben
gone
before
if
he
had
lyste
/
for
he
had
knowledge
that
sir
Iohan
Mercyer
and
the
erle
of
Ribydewe
were
in
prisone
/
and
that
the
Constable
was
fledde
in
to
Bretaygne
.
And
he
was
counsayled
before
by
one
of
his
frendes
/
who
said
to
hym
.
Sir
/
saue
your selfe
/
for
the
enuyous
do
nowe
reygne
/
and
fortune
as
nowe
is
on
their
sydes
.
He
aunswered
and
sayde
.
Here
and
els
where
/
I
am
at
the
pleasure
of
god
.
If
I
shulde
flye
or
hyde
my selfe
/
I
shulde
yelde
my selfe
gyltie
/
where
I
knowe
my
selfe
clere
.
God
hath
gyuen
me
that
I
haue
/
and
he
maye
take
it
fro
me
whan
it
is
his
pleasure
.
The
wyll
of
god
be
fulfylled
.
I
haue
serued
kynge
Charles
/
and
nowe
his
sonne
well
and
trewly
.
My
seruyce
hath
ben
well
knowen
with
them
/
and
they
haue
greatlye
rewarded
me
.
And
seyng
that
I
haue
so
truely
serued
at
their
commaundementes
/
and
traueyled
for
the
busynesse
of
the
realme
of
France
/
I
dare
well
abyde
the
iudgement
of
the
parlyament
chambre
in
Parys
.
and
if
they
can
fynde
any
faute
in
my
dedes
or
wordes
/
lette
me
be
punysshed
.
Thus
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuer
sayd
to
his
wyfe
and
to
his
counsayle
.
This
he
sayd
or
the
dukes
commyssioners
came
to
his
castell
.
At
laste
one
shewed
hym
and
sayd
.
Sir
/
here
cometh
suche
men
and
suche
with
a
great
armye
.
Nowe
saye
you
/
shall
we
opyn
the
gates
or
nat
?
yea
quod
he
what
elles
/
they
are
welcome
.
Therwith
he
went
and
mette
them
/
and
receyued
them
one
after
another
right
honorably
.
Thus
they
all
entred
in
to
the
castell
of
Mans.
Than
the
barroies
of
Barres
whan
they
were
within
the
hall
executed
his
commaundement
/
and
arested
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuer
/
who
obeyed
meke
lye
.
Thus
he
was
prisoner
in
his
owne
castell
of
Mans.
It
may
well
be
thought
that
the
good
lady
his
wyfe
was
sore
discomfyted
/
whan
she
sawe
fortune
courne
her
whele
/
agaynst
her
lorde
and
husbande
/
and
also
she
douted
the
conclusyon
.
THus
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuer
was
prisoner
in
his
owne
Castell
of
Mains
.
And
anone
after
he
was
sente
for
by
them
that
had
the
gouernaunce
/
bothe
of
the
temporaltie
and
of
the
spirytualtie
.
For
pope
Clement
of
Auignon
had
nothyng
in
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
but
by
their
meanes
.
The
lorde
de
la
Ryuer
was
brought
to
Parys
/
and
set
in
prison
in
the
castell
of
Loure
.
Many
men
in
the
realme
of
Fraunce
had
great
pytie
on
hym
/
howe
be
it
they
durst
nat
speke
but
priuely
.
The
people
cared
nat
so
moche
for
the
trouble
of
sir
Iohan
Mercyer
/
as
they
dyde
for
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuer
.
For
he
was
alway
swete
/
curtesse
/
meke
/
pacyent
/
and
gencyll
to
poore
men
:
and
a
good
meane
always
for
them
that
myght
nat
be
herde
.
It
was
sayde
daylye
in
Paris
/
that
these
prisoners
shulde
lese
their
heedes
.
And
a
sclaundre
ran
vpon
them
/
howe
they
were
traytours
against
the
crowne
of
Fraunce
/
and
pylled
the
realme
/
and
therby
kepte
their
great
portes
and
estates
:
and
made
fayre
houses
/
castelles
/
&
buyldynges
.
And
other
poore
knightes
and
squiers
/
suche
as
had
aduentured
their
bodyes
&
membres
in
dedes
of
armes
/
and
serued
truelye
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
and
had
solde
and
layde
to
pledge
their
herytages
/
&
yet
coude
nat
be
payde
/
for
that
they
had
serued
/
Nother
by
the
constable
nor
by
none
of
them
that
were
in
prisone
:
nor
by
Montague
that
was
fledde
.
The
enuyous
condempned
and
iudged
them
to
dye
.
So
by
reason
of
this
they
were
in
great
daunger
/
and
also
it
was
sayd
that
by
their
counsaile
the
kyng
toke
on
hym
the
iourney
in
to
Bretaygne
/
wherby
he
fell
in
to
that
maladye
of
Fransey
/
and
had
gyuen
hym
drinkes
of
poyson
at
their
pleasure
and
howe
that
the
kynges
phisycions
coude
nat
be
herde
nor
beleued
/
by
reason
of
them
.
Suche
maters
were
layde
to
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuers
charge
and
to
sir
Iohan
Mercyer
/
that
they
were
delyuered
out
of
the
Castell
of
Loure
/
in
to
the
handes
of
the
prouost
of
Paris
/
and
putte
in
to
the
castell
of
saynt
Anthony
/
in
the
kepyng
of
the
Vicount
of
Achy
who
as
than
was
Chateleyne
there
.
Whan
it
was
knowen
that
they
were
there
/
than
the
common
brute
ran
/
that
they
shulde
be
executed
to
dethe
.
But
to
saye
trouthe
/
there
was
no
cause
why
to
trouble
them
.
For
suche
as
hated
them
/
coude
fynde
in
their
conscyence
/
no
cause
why
they
ought
to
dye
.
But
euery
daye
they
were
borne
in
hande
/
and
it
was
sayd
to
theym
.
Sirs
/
thynke
on

for
your
bodyes
are
but
loste
/
for
ye
are
iudged
to

/
and
for
to
be
beheeded
.
In
this
case
they
were
in
Prisone
a
greate
space
.
The
Begue
of
Vyllayns
a
ryght
valyaunt
knyght
in

/
of
the
countrey
of
Beance
/
who
was
in

also
for
the
same
cause
.
He
had
suche
frendes
and
was
so
ayded
that
he
was
delyuered
out
of
prison
/
and
was
clene
pardoned
of
all

.
And
suche

as
sir
Barroys
&

counsayled
hym

by
reason
of

countesse
of

and
as
he
was
counsayled

he
dyede
.
And
as
soone
as
he
might
departed
out
of
Fraunce
&
went
in

Castyle
/
and
the
other
two
knightes
remayned
styll
in

in

ALl
the

sir
Iohan

within
Parys
and

in

that
myght

/
was
taken
as
goodes
forfaite

and
gyuen

.
his
fayre
house
of
the

of
Aubumen
in
the

of

/
whiche
had
cost
hym
a
great

/
was

with

I
knowe
nat

the

desyred
it
or
nat

but
sir
Iohan
Mercier
was
disheryted

he
and
his
heyres
for
euer
.
Also
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuer
was
sore
handled
.
Trewe
it
was
/
all
his
mouables
was
taken
awaye

and
suche

reseruynge
to
the
lady
of
Mans
his

all
her

/
whiche
came
by
her

Also
he
had
a
yonge
damosell
to
his
doughter
of
.x.
yere
or
age
/
who
was
maryed
to
a
yonge
gentylman
called
Iaques
of
Chastellon
/
sonne
to
sir
Hugh
of
Chastellon
/
who
had
ben
before
maister
of
the
crosbowes
of
Fraunce
.
and
he
was
heyre
to
his
father
/
and
had
fayre
herytages
/
and
was
lykely
to
enioye
more
/
howe
be
it
agaynst
the
yonge
mannes
mynde
/
he
was
dismaryed
.
And
maryed
agayne
to
another
gentylwoman
/
at
the
pleasure
of
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
and
of
the
lorde
de
la
Tremoyle
/
who
toke
on
them
that
quarell
.
more
ouer
/
the
lorde
de
la
Riuer
had
a
sonne
to
his
heyre
/
whiche
sonne
was
maryed
to
the
doughter
of
the
erle
Dampmartyne
.
And
the
erle
had
no
mo
children
nor
was
nat
lyke
to
haue
whiche
doughter
was
his
heyre
.
And
the
duke
wolde
haue
broken
that
maryage
/
&
haue
maryed
her
vnto
an
heyre
of
blode
/
But
the
erle
Dampmartyne
lyke
a
valyaunt
knight
wolde
nat
/
but
sayd
.
As
long
as
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuers
sonne
hadde
lyfe
in
his
body
/
his
doughter
shulde
haue
none

he

shulde

attayne
therto
.
Whan
the
erles
mynde
was
knowen
they
let
hym
alone
.
So
that
maryage
stode
styll
/
but
the
fyrst
maryage
was
broken
/
and
pope
Clement
made
a
dispensacyon
wheder
he
wolde
or
nat

for
as
at
that
tyme
the
pope
had
no
more
puissaunce
in
Fraunce
/
Than
suche
as
the
gouernours
wolde
consente
to

The
churche
was
so
subiecte
/
what
by
reason
of
the
Scisme
/
and
by
them
that
gouerned
Fraunce
.
Many
men
specially
in
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
excused
greatly
the
lorde
de

/
but
all
that
wolde

For
none
durst
speke
thoughe
they
sawe
the

neuer

Except
all
onely
the
valyant
lady
Iane
of
Boloyne

Oftentymes
the

wolde

holdynge

Ah

And

I

but
I

Ah

I
saye
it

But

the

I

And
if
the
swete
wordes

and
wyse
demeanour
of
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuer
had
nat
been
/
I
had
neuer
come

but
I
had
ben

For
the

and
the

Right

Wherfore
I

Dame

I
wolde
it
had
cost
me
.xx.
thousande
frankes

on
the
condycion
the
lorde
de

had
neuer
made
forfette
to
the

for
before
this
malady
came
to
the
kynge
/
I
loued
hym
entierly

and
tooke
hym
for
a
wyse
and
a
sage
knyght
.
but
sythe
ye
desyre
so
effectuously
for
hym
I
wyll
do
no

hym
/
he
shall
fare
moche

at
your

and
for
your

I
shall
do
as
moche
for
hym
as
my
power
may
extende
/
and
rather
at
your
desyre
than
and
all
the
realme
had
spoken
for
hym
/
for
surely
I
se
well
it
is
almes
to
helpe
hym
/
and
I
beleue
he
hath
no
aduocate
but
you
.
Thus
the
lady
was
well
pleased
with
her
lordes
wordes
/
for
surely
and
she
had
nat
ben
he
had
been
deed
/
but
for
her
sake
the
duke
of
Berrey
dyssymuled
the
mater
/
and
that
was
happy
for
syr
Iohan
Mercyer
/
for
he
and
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuer
were
accused
for
one
cause
/
wherfore
the
dukes
had
conscyence
to
cause
one
to
dye
and
nat
the
other
/
howe
be
it
for
all
the
promesse
that
was
made
to
them
/
yet
they
thought
them selfe
nat
well
assured
of
their
lyues
/
as
longe
as
they
were
in
prison
/
for
they
sawe
well
they
had
as
than
many
enemyes
/
who
as
than
reygned
and
were
in
their
prosperyte
/
and
some
were
right
angry
that
they
were
saued
so
longe
/
and
they
coulde
amended
it
.
Syr
Iohan
Mercyer
beynge
in
prisone
wepte
so
contynually
/
that
he
had
almost
lost
his
sight
/
it
was
pytie
to
se
his
lamentacyon
.
WHyle
these
two
knyghtes
were
thus
in
prisone
more
than
a
yere
/
and
no
man
knewe
what
ende
shulde
come
of
them
.
Than
the
dukes
and
their
counsayle
dyd
all
that
they
coulde
to
haue
taken
sir
Olyuer
Clysson
/
and
to
haue
put
hym
fro
his
honoure
and
offyce
.
They
had
rather
haue
had
hym
than
all
the
resydewe
/
but
he
kepte
hym selfe
out
of
their
handes
/
wherin
he
dyd
wysely
/
for
if
he
had
ben
taken
they
had
so
ordeyned
for
him
/
that
he
shulde
haue
had
iudgement
of
deth
without
remedy
/
and
all
for
enuy
to
haue
pleased
therby
his
aduersary
the
duke
of
Bretaygne
/
who
neuer
dyd
good
in
the
realme
of
Fraunce
.
whan
the
lordes
sawe
that
he
was
scaped
their
handes
/
they
toke
other
aduyse
/
&
dyd
as
ye
shall
here
.
They
sommoned
hym
to
apere
in
the
parlyament
chamber
at
Parys
/
to
answere
to
such
articles
as
he
was
accused
of
/
on
payne
to
lese
his
honour
and
to
be
banysshed
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
certayne
commyssioners
were
sent
in
to
Bretaygne
to
sommon
hym
to
apere
.
They
that
were
sente
rode
in
to
Bretaygne
/
and
demaunded
where
as
they
came
where
syr
Olyuer
of
Clysson
was
/
and
sayd
howe
they
were
sente
by
the
kynge
to
speke
with
the
constable
/
wherfore
they
desyred
to
knowe
where
he
was
.
The
men
of
suche
townes
and
garysons
as
helde
of
the
constable
were
determyned
before
what
aunswere
to
make
/
and
sayd
/
syrs
ye
be
welcome
/
and
if
ye
wyll
speke
with
the
counstable
ye
muste
go
in
to
suche
a
place
/
there
we
thynke
ye
shall
fynde
hym
without
faute
.
So
the
commyssyoners
were
sente
fro
towne
to
towne
/
but
they
coude
nat
fynde
him
.
And
so
longe
they
sought
that
they
were
wery
/
and
so
retourned
to
Parys
/
and
declared
what
they
had
sene
and
founde
.
suche
as
had
accused
hym
were
gladde
that
he
dalte
so
/
for
than
they
sayd
his
falsnesse
was
playnely
shewed
/
and
therby
acordyng
to
reason
they
said
he
shulde
haue
as
he
had
deserued
.
Than
by
the
course
of
the
parlyament
they
proceded
to
all
his
sōmonynges
/
to
th
entent
that
suche
as
loued
hym
shulde
nat
say
he
had
any
wronge
/
by
Enuy
or
hatred
.
And
whan
all
his
.xv.
sōmonynges
were
accompilsshed
/
and
that
they
coulde
here
no
tydynges
of
hym
/
nor
of
his
aparaunce
/
and
that
he
had
been
openly
called
at
the
parlyament
chambre
dore
/
and
on
the
steyres
/
and
in
the
courte
/
with
all
other
seremonyes
therto
belongynge
/
and
no
answere
made
for
hym
/
he
had
processe
made
agaynst
hym
cruelly
in
the
parlyament
.
There
he
was
openly
banysshed
the
realme
of
Fraunce
as
a
false
traytour
against
the
crowne
of
Fraunce
/
and
iudged
to
pay
a
hundred
thousande
marke
of
syluer
for
the
extorcyons
he
had
doone
/
and
for
that
he
had
so
traftely
in
tyme
paste
occupyed
the
offyce
of
the
constablery
of
Fraunce
/
and
therfore
to
lese
for
euer
without
recouery
the
sayd
offyce
.
At
the
gyueng
of
this
sentence
the
duke
of
Orleaunet
was
desyred
to
be
present
/
but
he
wolde
nat
/
&
excused
hymselfe
/
but
the
dukes
of
Berrey
and
Burgoyn
were
there
with
many
other
great
lordes
of
the
Realme
of
Fraunce
.
Thus
a
man
may
se
the
wa●kes
of
fortune
/
howe
ferme
and
stable
they
be
/
seynge
howe
this
good
and
valyaunt
knyght
/
who
in
his
dayes
had
so
moche
traueyled
for
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
and
as
than
was
put
to
so
moche
shame
/
as
to
be
dysgrated
fro
honoure
and
goodes
.
Howe
be
it
he
was
happy
he
appered
nat
at
their
sōmonynge
/
for
if
he
had
/
surrly
he
had
shamfully
loste
his
lyfe
.
As
than
the
duke
of
Orlyance
durst
nat
speke
for
hym
/
if
he
had
/
it
shulde
haue
doone
hym
no
good
.
It
is
nat
to
be
douted
but
that
the
duke
of
Bretaygne
and
syr
Peter
of
Craon
were
right
ioyfull
of
those
tydinges
howe
be
it
they
were
sory
that
he
was
nat
prisoner
in
Parys
as
well
as
sir
Iohan
Mercier
and
the
lord
de
la
Ryuer
.
Of
this
shamfull
banysshing
great
brute
ranne
therof
in
the
realme
of
Fraunce
and
els
where
.
some
compleyned
secretly
and
sayd
that
he
had
wronge
.
And
some
other
said
he
was
worthy
to
be
hanged
/
and
that
he
had
well
deserued
it
.
and
moreouer
sayd
/
howe
the
dyuell
coulde
he
assemble
togyder
so
moche
rychess
as
a
myllyon
and
an
halfe
of
florayns
?
he
coulde
neuer
gette
that
by
ryghtwyse
meanes
/
but
rather
by
pollynge
and
robbyng
/
and
retaynyng
to
hymselfe
the
wages
of
the
poore
knyghtes
&
squyers
of
the
realme
of
Fraunce
that
had
deserued
it
.
as
it
may
well
appere
in
the
chaunceryor
treasory
/
where
euery
thyng
is
written
and
regestred
/
in
the
voyage
that
the
Kynge
made
in
to
Flaunders
.
there
and
than
he
reysed
great
profyte
to
his
owne
vse
/
and
also
in
the
voyage
to
Almayne
/
for
all
maner
of
tayles
and
subsydyes
that
were
reysed
in
the
Realme
to
paye
men
of
warre
/
passed
through
his
handes
he
payed
where
as
it
pleased
hym
/
and
the
rest
he
kept
to
hymselfe
and
none
durste
speke
agaynst
it
.
In
this
maner
syr
Olyuer
of
Clysson
was
accused
in
many
mennes
mouthes
.
It
is
sayde
in
an
olde
prourebe
/
he
that
hath
mysfortune
/
euery
man
offereth
hym
wronge
.
If
the
frenche
kynge
/
the
duke
of
Berrey
/
and
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
had
nat
ben
/
the
duke
of
Bretaygne
had
ben
able
to
haue
subdued
syr
Olyuer
of
Clysson
/
seynge
he
was
in
the
dukes
countrey
/
but
he
suffred
hym
for
a
season
to
se
howe
the
maters
shulde
procede
.
Also
he
sawe
well
that
syr
Olyuer
of
Clysson
was
set
on
the
heyght
of
fortunes
whele
/
and
as
than
agayne
he
sawe
howe
he
was
cast
downe
/
and
lyke
to
lese
his
offyce
.
Thus
the
duke
of
Bretayne
and
syr
Peter
of
Craon
were
set
vpon
their
fete
/
and
all
by
the
workes
of
fortune
/
whiche
is
neuer
parmanent
/
but
nowe
vp
/
nowe
downe
.
The
constable
syr
Olyuer
of
Clysson
/
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuer
/
&
syr
Iohan
Mercyer
/
were
principally
acused
for
the
chefe
cousers
of
the
kinges
malady
.
And
suche
as
loued
them
nat
/
sayd
howe
they
had
poysoned
the
kynge
.
howe
be
it
euery
man
maye
consydre
by
reason
that
it
was
nat
so
/
for
they
were
the
persones
that
shulde
lese
moste
by
the
kynges
malady
/
wherfore
it
is
to
be
thought
they
sought
moste
for
his
helthe
/
but
they
coulde
nat
be
beleued
.
So
the
two
knyghtes
remayned
styll
in
prison
in
daunger
openly
to
haue
loste
their
heedes
/
and
by
all
lykelyhode
so
they
had
doone
/
if
the
kynge
had
nat
recouered
his
helth
/
and
by
the
meane
of
the
duchesse
of
Berrey
/
who
made
instante
labour
for
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuer
.
And
the
lorde
Clysson
was
styll
in
Bretayne
/
and
made
sore
warre
agaynst
the
duke
there
/
and
the
duke
agaynst
hym
/
whiche
warre
cost
many
a
mannes
lyfe
/
as
ye
shall
here
/
here
after
in
this
hystory
.
TRewe
it
is
this
sycknesse
that
the
kyng
tooke
in
the
voyage
towardes
Bretayne
/
greatly
abated
the
ioye
of
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
and
good
cause
why
/
for
whan
the
heed
is
sicke
the
body
canne
haue
no
ioye
.
No
man
durste
openly
speke
therof
/
but
kepte
it
priuy
as
moche
as
myght
be
/
and
it
was
couertly
kept
fro
the
quene
/
for
tyll
she
was
delyuered
and
churched
she
knewe
nothynge
therof
/
whiche
tyme
she
had
a
doughter
.
The
physycion
mayster
Guyllyam
/
who
had
the
chefe
charge
of
healynge
of
the
kynge
/
was
styll
aboute
hym
/
and
was
ryght
dyligent
/
and
well
acquyted
hymselfe
/
wherby
he
gate
bothe
honour
and
profyte
/
for
lytell
&
lytell
he
brought
the
kynge
in
good
estate
/
and
toke
away
the
seuer
and
the
heate
/
and
made
hym
to
haue
taste
and
appetyte
to
eate
and
drinke
/
slepe
&
rest
/
and
knowledge
of
euery
thynge
.
howe
be
it
he
was
very
feble
/
and
lytell
and
lytell
he
made
the
Kynge
to
ryde
a
huntynge
and
on
hawkynge
.
And
whanne
tydynges
was
knowen
through
Fraunce
howe
the
kynge
was
well
mended
/
and
had
his
memory
agayne
/
euery
man
was
ioyfull
/
and
thanked
god
.
the
kyng
thus
beyng
at
Crayell
/
desyred
to
se
the
quene
his
wyfe
and
the
Dolphyn
his
sonne
.
So
the
quene
came
thyder
to
him
/
and
the
chylde
was
brought
thyder
.
The
kynge
made
them
good
chere
/
and
so
lytell
and
lytell
through
the
helpe
of
god
/
the
kynge
recouered
his
helthe
.
And
whan
mayster
Guyllyam
sawe
the
kynge
in
so
good
case
/
he
was
ryght
ioyfull
/
as
reasone
was
/
for
he
had
done
a
fayre
cure
/
and
so
delyuered
hym
to
the
dukes
of
Orlyance
/
Berrey
/
Burgoyne
/
and
Burbone
/
and
sayd
.
My
lordes
/
thanked
be
god
the
kyng
is
nowe
in
good
state
and
helth
/
so
I
delyuer
hym
/
but
beware
lette
no
man
dysplease
hym
/
for
as
yet
his
spyrytes
be
nat
fully
ferme
nor
stable
/
but
lytell
and
lytell
he
shall
waxe
stronge
.
Reasonable
dysporte
/
rest
/
and
myrthe
shall
be
moste
profytable
for
hym
/
and
trouble
hym
as
lytell
as
may
be
with
any
counsayles
/
for
he
hath
been
sharpely
handeled
with
a
hote
malady
.
Than
it
was
consydred
to
retaygne
this
mayster
Guylliam
/
and
to
gyue
hym
that
he
shulde
be
contente
with
all
/
whiche
is
the
ende
that
all
physicions
requyre
/
to
haue
gyftes
and
rewardes
.
He
was
desyred
to
abyde
styll
aboute
the
kynge
/
but
he
excused
himselfe
and
sayd
howe
he
was
an
olde
impotent
man
/
and
coulde
nat
endure
the
maner
of
courte
/
wherfore
he
desyred
to
returne
in
to
his
owne
countrey
.
Whan
the
counsayle
sawe
he
wolde
none
otherwyse
do
/
they
gaue
him
leaue
/
and
at
his
departing
gaue
him
a
thousande
crownes
/
and
retayned
hym
in
wages
with
four
horses
whan
so
euer
he
wolde
resorte
to
the
courte
.
Howe
be
it
I
beleue
he
neuer
came
there
after
/
for
whan
he
retourned
to
the
cytie
of
Laon
/
there
he
contynued
and
dyed
a
ryche
man
.
He
lefte
behynde
hym
a

thousande
frankes
.
All
his
dayes
he
was
one
of
the
greatest
nygardes
that
euer
was
/
all
his
pleasure
was
to
get
good

and
to
spende
nothynge

for
in
his

he
neuer
spente
past

Whan

that

was
greatly
hyndred

howe

kynge
Rycharde
of
Englande

and
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
had
great
affection
to

so
that
if
they
might
haue
had
their

/
peace
had
ben
made
bytwene
Englande
and
Fraunce
.
But
the
commynalte
of
Englande
desyred
warre
/
sayenge
howe
warre
with
Fraunce
was
more
conuenyent
for
them
than
peace
.
and
of
that
opynyon
was
one

the

vncles

Th●mas
duke

And
of
his

were
the
yonge

of
the

/
suche
as
desyred
feates

But
his

the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
bycause
he
was
eldest
and
of
most
puissaunce
in
Englande
/
he
thought

said
that
the

bytwene
Englande

had
endured
longe
ynoughe

were
more

LEtte
vs

consydre
the

wordes

who
spake

sore
traueyled
his

therof
shulde

well
that

rather
to

.
I
Iohan
Froysart
auctoure
of
this
hystory
/
canne
nat
well
saye
/
whether
this
dukes
opinyon
was
good
or
nat
/
but
it
was
shewed
me
that
bycause
the
duke
of
Lancastre
sawe
his
two
doughters
maryed
in
higher
degree
than
hymselfe
/
and
out
of
the
realme
of
Englande
/
the
one
was
quene
of
Spaygne
/
the
other
Quene
of
Portugale
.
This
caused
him
gretly
to
enclyne
to
the
peace
/
for
he
knew
well
that
the
kynge
of
Spaygnes
sonne
/
who
had
maryed
his
doughter
/
was
as
than
but
yonge
/
and
in
daunger
of
his
owne
subgiettes
/
and
knewe
well
that
if
he
shulde
peasably
enioye
the
herytage
of
Spaygne
/
it
was
conuenyente
that
the
englysshe
men
shulde
kepe
the
peace
with
Fraunce
/
for
if
the
peace
shulde
be
broken
by
any
incydent
/
than
the
Frenche
men
myght
shortly
be
reuenged
of
the
realme
of
Spayne
,
for
they
had
open
entrees
as
well
through
Aragon
and
Chathalone
/
as
Bierne
and
Byskay
/
for
the
lady
yolant
of
Bare
was
quene
of
Aragone
/
and
she
was
good
frenche
and
gouerned
Aragon
/
Chathalone
/
Bierne
/
and
Byskay
/
for
the
Vycount
of
Chatellon
/
who
was
heyre
to
th
erle
of
Foiz
had
so
sworne
and
promysed
the
frenche
quene
/
wherby
the
frenche
men
hadde
many
fayre
entrees
in
to
Spaygne
without
daunger
of
the
kynge
of
Nauer
/
who
wolde
nat
wyllyngly
dysplease
the
frenche
kynge
his
cosyn
germayne
/
for
as
than
syr
Peter
of
Nauerre
his
brother
/
was
with
the
frenche
kynge
/
who
alwayes
apeased
the
frenche
kynges
ire
and
dyspleasure
/
whan
he
had
any
to
his
brother
the
Kynge
of
Nauer
/
for
he
was
a
true
frenche
man
/
and
neuer
founde
the
contrary
.
All
these
imagynacions
the
duke
of
Lancastre
had
in
hym selfe
/
and
shewed
his
mynde
to
his
sonne
the
erle
of
Derby
/
though
he
were
but
yonge
/
yet
he
was
of
great
wysdome

THe
conclusyon
of
the
parlyament
holden
at
Westmynster
by
the
thre
estates
of
the
realme
.
A
trewce
was
taken
by
see
and
by
lande
/
bytwene
Fraunce
and
Englande
/
their
frendes
and
alyes
/
to
endure
fro
the
feest
of
saynt
Mychell
/
to
the
feest
of
saynt
Iohan
Baptyst
nexte
after
/
and
suche
commyssioners
as
the
frenche
kynge
had
sent
to
this
parlyament
were
dyspatched
/
and
the
charter
of
the
truce
sent
by
them
sealed
/
whiche
treuce
was
well
vpholden
on
all
partyes
.
The
Frenche
kynge
was
sore
febled
by
reason
of
his
syckenesse
/
and
the
physicyon
mayster
Guyllyam
Harselay
was
as
than
deed
/
but
whan
he
departed
fro
Crayell
fro
the
kynge
/
he
ordeyned
many
receytes
for
the
kynge
to
vse
/
wherby
in
the
wynter
season
he
recouered
his
helth
/
wherof
all
his
louers
and
frendes
reioysed
/
with
the
hole
commynalte
of
Fraunce
/
for
he
was
well
be
loued
/
and
so
he
and
the
quene
came
to
Parys
/
and
helde
their
householde
most
parte
at
saynt
Powle
/
and
somtyme
at
Loure
/
and
the
longe
wynter
nyghtes
they
passed
the
season
with
daunsynge
and
carollynge
/
and
other
reuels
and
dysportes
.
The
quene
was
acompaned
with
the
duchesse
of
Berrey
/
the
duchesse
of
Orlyance
/
and
other
ladyes
.
The
same
season
the
Vycount
of
Chastellon
was
come
to
Parys
/
who
was
newly
entred
in
to
the
herytage
of
the
erledome
of
Foize
and
of
Bierne
/
as
ryght
heyre
/
and
he
releued
the
sayde
erledom
of
Foiz
/
and
dyd
his
homage
to
the
kyng
but
nat
for
Bierne
/
for
that
countrey
helde
themselfe
of
so
noble
condycion
/
that
they
helde
seruyce
to
no
man
lyuynge
.
Howe
be
it
the
prince
of
Wales
said
to
the
erle
of
Foiz
that
last
dyed
/
that
he
ought
to
releue
of
him
/
and
to
haue
his
resorte
to
the
Duchy
of
Acquitayne
.
But
alwayes
the
sayd
erle
denyed
and
defended
it
.
And
it
is
to
be
thought
that
the
chalenge
that
the
prince
of
Wales
made
thervnto
/
was
by
the
settynge
on
and
mouyng
of
Iohan

it
hath
ben
shewed
here

the

and
their

so
drye

/
and
so
ioynynge
to
their

that
they
began
to

and
to

None

they
that
dyd

by

of

One
of

called
Nanthorillet

aduysed

he
fled

whan

Kynge

for

that

shulde

wherwith

fell
in
a
sowne
/
and
knightes
and
ladyes
came
and
comforted
her
.
a
pyteous
noyse
there
was
in
the
hall
.
The
duchesse
of
Berrey
delyuered
the
kynge
fro
that
parell
/
for
she
dyd
caste
ouer
him
the
trayne
of
her
gowne
/
and
couered
him
fro

.
The
kynge
wolde
haue
gone
fro

Whyder

What

I

Haste

/
that
the
quene
maye

for
she
is
in
great
feare
of

.
Therwith
the
kynge
departed
out
of
the
hall
/
and
in
all
haste
chaunged
his
apparell
/
and
came
to
the
quene
.
And
the
duchesse
of
Berrey
had
somwhat
comforted
her
/
and
had
shewed
her
howe
she
shulde
se
the
kynge
shortely
.
Therwith
the
kynge
came
to
the
quene
/
and
as
soone
as
she
sawe
hym
/
for
ioy
she
enbrased
hym
and
fell
in
a
sowne
.
Than
she
was
borne
in

her
chambre
/
and
the

wente
with

.
And

cryed

saue

/
saue

Thus
was
the

saued
.
It
was
happy
for
hym
that
he
went
fro
his
company
/
for
els
he
had
ben

without

.
This
great
myscheife
fell
thus
about

where
there
was

and
dyed
within
two
dayes
after
in

Thus
the

of
this
maryage
brake
vp
in
beuynesse
/
howe
be

there
was
no
remedy
.
The
faulte

and
yet
he

none
yuell

If

Than
the

Thus

¶
Nowe
lette

YE
haue
herde
howe

sommoned
fyftene
dayes

chambre
/
&
how
certayne
knyghtes
were
sente
in

Bretaygne
to

as
sir

of
Sauoises
and
other
/
who
wente
in
to
Bretaygne
and
sertched
for
hym
in
all
places
/
but
they
founde
hym
nat
/
for
he
hydde
hym selfe
so
couertly
/
that
they
coulde
neuer
speke
with
hym
/
for
if
they
hadde
/
they
wolde
haue
rested
hym
.
At
their
retourne
in
to
Fraunce
/
they
made
relacyon
of
their
voyage
.
Than
it
was
iudged
by
the
lordes
of

/
that
sir
Olyuer

Clysson
Constable

/
hadde
forfayted

And
so
iuged
hym

realme
of

and
herytages
within
the
realme
.
And
bicause
he
had
nat
sente
the
Martell
/
whiche
is
the
token
of
the
offyce
of
the
Constablery
/
as
he
was
sommoned
to
do
:
therfore
the
offyce
was
vacant
and
voyde
.
Than
the
dukes
and
their
counsayls
/
suche
as
were
agaynst
sir
Olyuer
of
Clysson
/
thought
it
necessary
to
prouyde
some
person
to
occupy
the
said
offyce
/
whiche
was
so
noble
and
of
so
gret
renome
/
that
it
might
nat
long
be
without
a
gouernour
/
for
the
incidentes
that
myght
happe
to
fall
.
They
aduysed
that
the
lorde
Coucy
was
a
mete
man
for
it
/
and
layde
it
to
hym
/
but
he
excused
him selfe
and
sayd
/
that
in
no
wyse
he
wolde
medyll

The

gladly
haue
had
this
maryage
auaunsed
/
but
the
duke
of
Berrey
was
natre
wyllynge
therto
/
for
he
thought
the
erldome
of
Ewe
but
a
small
thyng
/
as
to
the
regarde
of
her
fyrste
husbande
/
wherfore
he
thought
to

her
more
highlyer
.
In
dede
the
lady
was
beautifull
&
endued
with
all
vertues
/
that
shulde
aperteyne
to
a
noble
lady
.
Howe
be
it
finally
/
the
duke
of
Berrey
was
lothe
to
displease
the
kynge
/
yet
he
had
many
offers
made
hym
for
his
doughter
/
as
by
the
yonge
duke
of
Loreyne
/
by
the
erle
of
Armynake
/
&
by
the
sonne
and
heyre
of
the
Erle
of
Foiz
.
The
kynge
brake
of
all
these
maryages
/
and
sayd
to
his

.
Fayre
vncle

/

Floure

countreys
/

/
for
we
wolde
gladly

/
it
is
right
mete
that

/
for

moche
of

Whan
the
duke
sawe
the
kynges
entente
/
he
re●rayned
hym selfe
of
makynge
of
any
promyse
/
to
any
persone
for
his
doughter
.
Also
he
sawe
well
that
the
kynge
enclyned
his
fauour
to
his
cosyn
the
lorde
Philyppe
of
Arthois
/
who
was
a
yonge
lusty
knyght
and
of
highe
corage
/
and
hadde
endured
many
traueyls
in
armes
/
beyond
the
see
and
other
places
/
and
had
atchyued
many
voyages
to
his
great
laude
and
honour
.
Than
the
dukes
of
Berrey
and
Burgoyne
agreed
bytwene
them
/
that
if
the
kynge
wolde
gyue
to
their
cosyn
Philyppe
of
Arthois
/
the
offyce
of
Constablery
of
Fraunce
/
whiche
as
than
they
reputed
voyde
/
by
reason
of
the
forfayture
of
sir
Olyuer
of
Clysson
/
than
they
to
agree
at
the
kynges
pleasure
in
this
sayd
maryage
.
For
the
duke
of
Berrey
thought
/
that
if
he
were
constable
of
Fraunce
/
he
shulde
than
haue
suffycient
to
mentayne
his
estate
.
On
this
the
two
dukes
determyned
to
speke
to
the
kynge
and
so
they
dyde
/
and
said
to
hym
.
Sir
/
your
counsayle
generally
are
all
agreed
/
that
the
lorde
Philyp
of
Arthoys
be
preferred
to
the
offyce
of
constableshyp
of
Fraunce
/
whiche
is
nowe
voyde
.
For
by
iugement
of
your
parlyament
/
Olyuer
of
Clysson
hath
forfayted
the
offyce
/
whiche
maye
nat
be
long
vacant
/
but
it
shulde
be
preiudyce
to
the
realme
.
And
sir
/
bothe
you
and
we
also
are
bounde
to
auaunce
and
promote
our
cosyn
of
Arthoys
/
for
he
is
nere
of
blode
and
of
lynage
to
vs
.
And
sir
/
seing
the
office
is
voyde
/
we
can
nat
tell
where
ye
shulde
better
enploy
it
/
than
on
hym
.
He
shall
right
well
exercise
it
:
he
is
welbeloued
with
knyghtes
and
squiers
:
and
he
is
a
man
without
enuy
or
couytousnesse
.
These
wordes
pleased
well
the
kyng
/
who
answered
&
said
.
Vncle
(
if
it
voyde
)
we
had
rather
he
had
it
than
another
.
The
kyngis
vncles
sued
styll
for
the
lorde
Philyppe
of
Arthoys
/
for
the
duke
of
Berrey
hated
sir
Olyuer
of
Clisson
/
bycause
he
consented
to
distroye
Betysache
his
seruaunte
.
And
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
hated
hym
/
bycause
he
made
warre
agaynst
the
duke
of
Bretaygne
/
and
yet
the
duchesse
hated
hym
worse
.
Finally
the
kyng
assented
/
so
that
the
duke
of
Berrey
wolde
agre
to
the
maryage
/
bytwene
his
doughter
&
the
said
lorde
Philyppe
of
Arthoys
.
And
yet
to
satisfye
the
kyng
and
the

of
Orlyaunce
/
who

These
knyghtes
tooke
their

Angers
/
and
there
they
found
the
quene

Hierusalem
and
Iohan
of
Bretaygne
/
who
receyued
them
right
honorably
for
the
honour
of

.
There

Sayeng
they
had
curtesse
letters
and
message
fro
the
Frenche

to

/
and
fro
none
other
persone
And
they
were
aunswered
no

coude
tell
where
he
was
/
but
that
he
was
surely
in
Bretayne
/
in
one
of
his

.
But
they
said
he
was
so
flyttyng
fro
one
place
to
another
/
that
it
was
harde
to

.
Than
these
knightes
departed
and
toke

Charles
the
prince
of
Thatent
/
and

/
and

.
And
the
duke
of
Bretayne
and
the
duchesse
were
at
Wannes
and
rode
nat
lightly
forthe
out
of
the
towne
/
for
he
euer
douted
the
busshmentes
of
his
ennemye
sir
Olyuer
of
Clysson
.
There
was
so
harde
warre
made
bytwene
them
/
that
there
was
no
mercy
but
dethe
.
And
thoughe
the

was

/
yet
there

The

Whanne

Thanne

where
sir
Olyuer
of
Clyssons
men
receyued

Than

Sayeng

But

But

But

all

of
Bretaygne
/
and
sertche
ouer
all

Whan
they
sawe
they

aunswere
they
departed
thens
/
&
rode
and
visyted
all
the
fortresses
great
and

parteynynge
to
the
lorde
Olyuer
of
Clysson
.
Thanne
they
came
to
Wannes
/
and
there
founde
the
duke
of
Bretaygne
and
the
duchesse
/
who
receyued

and
there
they
taryed
but

/
and
dyscouered

mater
that
they

the
duke
examyned

Also
they

.
THus

duke
and
of

and
retourned
to
Parys
/
where
they
founde
the

and
the

/
and
there
reported
to
the
kynge
&
to
the

of
Orlyaunce
/
howe
they
hadde
sought
all
the
places
and
townes
parteynynge
to
sir
Olyuer
of
Clysson
/
but
in
no

they
coulde

.
The
dukes
of
Burgoyn
and
Berrey
were
right
gladde
of
these
newes
/
and
wolde
nat
it
had
ben
otherwise
.
Than
anone
after
proceded
the
maryage
bytwene
the
lorde
Philippe
of
Arthois
and
the
lady
Mary
of
Berrey
.
and
so
this
lorde
Philyppe
was
Constable
of
Fraunce
/
and
vsed
the
offyce
/
with
all
profytes
and
aduauntages
therto
belongyng
/
of
auncyent
ordynaunces
.
yet
the
lorde
Olyuer
of
Clysson
had
nat
renounced
the
offyce
/
nor
delyuered
vp
the
Martell
/
whiche
is
the
token
of
the
Constable
of
Fraunce
.
For
he
contynued
/
and
sayd
he
wolde
abyde
styll
Constable
/
and
had
done
no
cause
why
to
lese
it
/
nouther
to

.
He
knewe
well
the

of
Ewe
was
profered
to
haue
the
offyce
of
the
Constable
/
and
to
enioye
the
profyttes
therof
/
by
consente
of
the
Kynge
/
and
howe
he
hadde
maryed
the
doughter
of
the
Duke
of
Berrey
the
lady
Mary
.
He
toke
but
lytell

for
he
knewe
hym selfe
true

kynge
/
and
to

of
Fraunce
.
And
knewe
well
/
all
that
was
done
agaynst
hym
was
through
enuy
and
hatered
/
that
the
dukes
of
Burg●yne
and
Berey
had

.
Thus
the
lorde
of
Clysson
lette
the
mater
passe
/
and
contynued
styll
his
warre
agaynst
the
duke
of
Bretayne
/
whiche
warre
was
right
fierse
and
cruell
/
without
mercy
or
pytie
.
The
lorde
of
Clysson
rode
ofter
abrode
and
layde
busshmentes
/
than
the
duke
dyde
.
And
all
other

The

lordes
of
his
countrey
/
and
they
came
to
speke
with
hym
/
&
to

.
than
the
duke
requyred
them
of
their
ayde
&
helpe
agaynst
his
ennemy
sir
Olyuer
of
Clysson
.
Than
the
lordes
of
Bretayne
/
as
the

Rohan
/
the
lorde
Dignan
/
the
lorde
Hermen
of

/
and
dyuers
other
excused

sayd
.
they
knewe
no
cause
why
/
nor
they
wolde
nat
make
no
warre
agaynst
the
lorde
Clysson
/
but
they
said
they
wolde
right
gladlye
endenour
them selfes
to

/
if
they
coude
.
Whan
the

sawe

and
parceyued
well
howe
he
lost
and
was
lykely
to
lese
mo
men
in
that
warre
than
sir
Olyuer
of
Clysson
/
than
he
consented
that
the
sayde
lordes
shulde
go
to
sir
Olyuer
of
Clysson
&
treate
for
a
peace
/
and

at

he
sayd
he

And
if
sir
Olyuer
had
done
hym
any
displeasure

that
he
myght
haue
amendes
accordynge
to
their
aduyse
.
These
lordes
were
well
agreed
thus
to
do
/
and
so
they
all
thre
wente
to
the
lorde
Olyuer
of
Clysson
/
and
dyde
so
moche
that
they
spake
with

(
as
I

)
in

And
moreouer
to

(
for
they
sawe

warr
was

Another

speares
in
his

/
towarde

castell
of
Alroy
/
where
the
duke

This

he
encountred
a

Dukes
seruauntes
/
who
hadde
tyed
their

and
were

Whan

These
poore
men
were
gladde
they
were

So

was

desyrous
to
knowe

I
enquyred

Calays
raced

in
suche
maner
that
there
shulde
be
neuer
after
any
habytacion
there
.
Therto
the
dukes
of
Lancastre
and
Gloucestre
answered
and
said
/
how
they
had
no
suche
auctorite
to
cause
Calays
to
be
beaten
downe
/
but
that
Englande
shulde
holde
it
in
his
demayne
and
trewe
herytage
.
And
sayd
/
that
if
they
purposed
to
entre
any
further
in
tr●atye
of
peace
/
to
seace
of
that
demaunde
/
and
to
speke
no
more
therof
.
Whan
the
Dukes
〈◊〉
Berrey

Burgoyne
herde
their
two
cosyns
of
Englande
answere
so
quyckly
in
that
〈◊〉
/
they
seased
to
speke
any
more
of
that
mat●er
/
for
they
sawe
well
their
traueyle
shulde
be
but
in
vayne
/
and
so
than
spake
of
other
matters
.
Than
the
englysshe
men
demaunded
to
haue
re●●ytucyon
of
all
suche
landes
as
had
been
delyuered
to
kynge
Rycharde
their

lorde

Edwarde

vnpayed

the

renewed
bytwene
England
and
Fraunce
/
and
this
the
englysshe
clerkes
and
lawyers
proued
reasonable
and
lawfull
to
be
had
.
The
lordes
and
chauncelours
of
Fraunce
argued
to
the
contrary
/
and
sayd
/
as
to
retourne
all
the
landes
agayne
to
the
gouernynge
of
the
kyng
of
Englande
and
his
successours
/
was
impossyble

sayenge
howe
suche

cyties

townes

castels
/
lordeshyppes
/
and

as
the
Englysshe

demaunded

were
gyuen
awaye
whan
the
peace
was
concluded
at
Bretygny
/
and
after
confermed
and
sealed
at
Calays
/
wherby
they
were
clene
put
a
way
fro
the
kyng
of
Englande

whiche
peace
&
grauntes
was
made
in
the
yere
of
our
lorde
god
a
thousande
thre
hundred
threscore
and
one
/
and
thervpon
the
frenche
kyng
graunted
to
suche

great
lyberties
/
by
his
othe
/
writyng
/
and
promesse
/
whiche
in
no
wyse
canne
be
broken
agayne
nor
reuoked
/
wherfore
they
sayd
that
if
the
Englysshemen
purposed
to
haue
peace
/
they
shulde
drawe
to
some
nerer
poynt
.
Than
by
delyberacyon
of
the
foure
dukes
/
it
was
deuysed
that
the
frenche
men
as
well
as
the
englysshmen
shulde
put
all
their
demaundes
in
writynge
/
&
the
same
to
be
delyuered
to
eyther
partye
/
that
they
might
be
regarded
at
length
on
bothe
partes
/
and
suche
as
were
vnreasonable
to
be
rased
and
cancelled
/
and
such
as
were
good
to
be
vpholden
.
this
ordynaunce
semed
to
all
parties
good
and
reasonable
.
Before
this
ordre
was
taken
the
sour
dukes
had
to
moche
busynesse
to
do
specyally
the
englysshe
men
had
moche
payne
to
here
and
to
vnderstande
the
frenche
men
/
who
were
full
of
subtyle
wordes
/
and
cloked
perswacions
and
double
of

the
whiche
the
frenche

wolde

and
aduauntage
whiche
englysshe
men
vse
nat
in
their
langage
/
for
their
speche
and
entent
is
playne
.
And
also
the
englisshmen
were
enfourmed
that
the
Frenche
men
had
nat
alwayes
vpholden
the
artycles
/
promyses
/
and
condycyons
/
ratyfied
in

artycles
of

/
yet
the
frenchmen
wold
euer
fynde
one
poynte
or

in
their

/
by
some
subtyle
cloked
worde
/
affermynge
that
the
englysshe
men
had
broken
the
peace

and
nat
they
.
Wherfore
whan
the
englysshe
men
sawe
or
herde
in
the
frenche
mens
writynges
any
darke
or
cloked
worde
/
they
made
it

examyned
by
suche

were
profoundly
lerned
in

and
if
they
founde
it
a

they
caused
it
to
be
canselled
and
amended

to
the
entent
they
wolde
leaue
nothynge

And

wolde
say

of
that
hath
ben
leuyed
syth
the
warre
renewed
/
to
the
whiche
they
wolde
neuer
acorde
.
The
frenche
men
offred
to
rendre
the
countre
of
Terbe
and
of
Bygore
/
and
the
countye
of
Piergourt
and
Pyergyns
/
and
the
countie
of
Agen
and
Agenoys
.
but
Kaours
/
Rouer
gue
/
Ouercy
/
and
Lymosyn
/
they
wold
in
no
wyse
delyuer
/
nor
the
countie
of
Ponthyeur
/
nor
of
the
countie
of
Guysnes
/
more
than
the
englyssh
men
hadde
in
their
handes
at
the
same
tyme
.
Thus
these
lordes
contynued
a
fyftene
dayes
and
made
no
conclusyon
/
but
these
dukes
determyned
to
sende
worde
to
the
two
kynges
/
to
gyue
them
knowledge
what
they
had
done
.
The
frenche
dukes
rode
to
Abbeuyle
and
shewed
the
kynge
all
the
mater
/
and
howe
they
had
desyred
their
cosins
of
Englande
to
write
the
hole
treatie
to
the
kynge
of
Englande
/
and
so
they
sayd
they
had
promysed
to
do
.
And
as
I
was
enfourmed
/
on
the
englysshe
party
the
duke
of
Glocestre
was
harder
to
entreat
than
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
and
bycause
the
commons
of
Englande
knewe
somwhat
of
his
entent
therfore
they
agreed
that
he
shulde
be
sent
to
this
treatye
/
for
they
knewe
well
that
nothynge
shulde
passe
hym
without
it
were
for
the
honour
of
the
realme
.
Thus
these
four
dukes
amyably
departed
eche
fro
other
/
and
concluded
to
mete
there
agayne
the
nynth
day
after
.
Thus
these
englysshe
lordes
retourned
to
Calays
/
and
the
frenche
lordes
to
Boloyne
/
and
so
to
Abuyle
.
That
tyme
in
Abuyle
there
was
a
fayre
garden
/
closed
with
the
ryuer
of
Somme
/
whereas
often
tymes
the
frenche
kynge
passed
the
tyme
.
He
sayd
to
his
brother
of
Orlyaunce
and
to
his
counsayle
/
that
his
beynge
at
Abbeuyle
dyd
hym
moche
good
in
his
helthe
.
There
was
there
the
same
seasone
with
the
kynge
/
the
kynge
Lyon
of
Armony
/
newly
come
thyder
out
of
Grece
/
and
out
of
those
marches
/
in
to
his
owne
countrey
he
durst
nat
entre
/
for
the
turkes
had
conquered
it●
except
the
stronge
towne
of
Conych
/
standynge
on
the
see
syde
/
whiche
the
geno
ways
helde
and
kepte
for
doute
of
the
turkes
/
for
if
the
turkes
had
gotten
that
porte
/
they
shulde
haue
doone
moche
yuell
by
the
see
to
the
cyprians
and
to
the
Rodes
/
and
other
boundes
of
crystendome
.
The
kyng
of
Armony
wolde
gladly
haue
hadde
peace
bytwene
Englande
and
Fraunce
/
in
trust
that
all
yonge
knightes
and
squyers
shulde
go
in
to
Grece
to
helpe
to
conquere
agayne
his
realme
of
Armony
.
Whan
the
frenche
kynges
vncles
were
come
to
Abbeuyle
/
the
kynge
was
gladde
and
made
theym
good
chere
/
and
demaunded
howe
they
had
spedde
/
and
they
shewed
hym
all
the
hole
processe
/
and
vpon
what
poynte
they
departed
/
wherof
the
kynge
was
gladde
/
for
he
shewed
to
be
glad
to
haue
peace
.
In
lyke
maner
the
englyssh
dukes
whan
they
came
to
Calays
they
wrote
to
the
kynge
of
Englande
all
the
poyntes
and
artycles
of
that
treatye
.
And
shortly
they
had
agayne
a
good
aunswere
/
commaundynge
them
to
procede
for
a
peace
/
sayenge
the
warre
had
contynewed
longe
ynoughe
/
and
that
crystendome
therby
was
sore
dommaged
.
Thus
at
the
daye
prefyxed
/
these
dukes
mette
agayne
at
Balyngham
/
and
with
the
frenche
lordes
came
the
kynge
of
Armony
/
to
shewe
to
the
lordes
of
Englande
his
busynesse
and
necessyte
.
He
was
well
knowen
with
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
/
for
he
had
ben
in
Englande
whan
the
frenche
army
was
ordeyned
at
Sluse
/
to
haue
gone
in
to
Englande
.
The
duke
of
Glocestre
the
same
tyme
receyued
the
kynge
of
Armony
and
made
hym
good
chere
/
at
a
fayre
place
of
his
in
Esser
/
called
Plasshey
.
At
Balyngham
also
the
Dukes
of
Englande
made
the
kynge
of
Armony
good
chere
/
and
was
glad
to
here
hym
speke
.
And
they
aunswered
hym
that
gladly
they
wolde
ayde
hym
/
wherof
the
kynge
was
ryght
ioyfull
.
Many
thynges
were
treated
in
this
parlyament
.
And
all
this
season
the
cardynall
of
Line
lay
at
Abbeuyle
/
who
was
sente
thyder
in
legacyon
/
by
hym
that
called
hym selfe
pope
Clemente
/
for
maters
concernyng
the
churche
.
The
frenche
dukes
at
this
assemble
at
Balyngham
/
wolde
haue
had
certayne
artycles
comprised
in
their
treatie
/
concernynge
the
churche
/
and
susteynynge
the
opynyons
of
this
pope
Clemente
/
Robert
of
Geneue
.
But
whan
the
Englysshe
dukes
harde
that
/
they
sayd
to
their
cosyns
of
Fraunce
.
Cosyns
/
and
ye
wyll
that
we
shall
fall
to
any
poynte
of
conclusion
/
speke
no
more
of
that
cardynall
/
we
haue
nothyng
to
do
with
hym
/
his
matter
is
a
busynes
without
profyte
or
effecte
/
we
are
determyned
vpon
a
pope
to
whom
we
wyll
obey
/
we
wyll
here
no
spekyng
agaynste
hym
/
if
the
other
medle
any
thynge
with
vs
we
shall
departe
and
god
hence
/
and
leaue
all
togytder
.
After
that
tyme
there
was
no
mo
wordes
of
that
cardynall
/
he
taried
styll
at
Abbcuyle
.
Than
these
lordes
proceded
in
their
treaties
/
the
duke
of
Lancastre
was
well
enclyned
to
haue
peace
.
The
Frenche
kynge
the
yere
before
hadde
sore
desyred
hym
to
be
a
good
meane
to
entreate
for
a
peace
/
and
so
he
promysed
to
do
.
howbeit
his
brother
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
was
hard
to
agree
/
for
he
layde
forthe
the
frenchemens
dysceytes
and
colored
wordes
that
they
vsed
alwayes
in
their
writynges
/
sayenge
howe
the
frenche
men
wolde
alwayes
wrestell
with
their
armes
dyscouered
/
whiche
was
euer
perceyued
.
On
a
daye
there
came
a
squyer
of
honour
a
frenche
man
/
called
Robert
the
hermyte
to
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
/
he
was
one
of
the
frenche
kynges
priuy
chambre
/
whether
he
was
sente
to
the
duke
of
Glocestre
or
came
on
his
owne
heed
/
I
can
nat
tell
/
but
as
the
duke
shewed
me
in
Englande
at
Plasshey
/
this
squyer
sayd
to
him
.
Syr
for
the
loue
of
god
be
nat
agaynst
this
treatie
of
peace
/
for
ye
se
howe
the
lordes
of
Fraunce
do
their
dyligence
to
bringe
it
aboute
/
ye
shall
do
an
almesse
dede
/
for
the
warre
hath
to
longe
endured
/
and
sythe
that
bothe
kynges
are
content
to
haue
peace
/
all
their
subgiettes
ought
to
obey
therto
.
Than
the
duke
answered
hym
as
he
sayd
.
Roberte
I
am
nat
agaynst
it
/
nor
wyll
nat
be
/
but
ye
frenche
men
amonge
you
/
ye
haue
so
many
coloured
wordes
/
so
darke
and
obscure
to
our
vnderstandynge
/
so
that
whan
ye
wyll
it
is
warre
/
and
whan
ye
lyst
it
is
peace
/
thus
haue
ye
ledde
vs
vnto
this
presente
daye
.
But
if
the
kynge
my
soueraygne
lorde
had
beleued
me
/
and
suche
other
of
his
realme
as
are
bounde
to
serue
hym
/
peace
shulde
neuer
haue
been
bytwene
Englande
and
Fraunce
/
tyll
restytucyon
had
ben
made
to
vs
of
all
that
is
taken
fro
vs
without
cause
/
by
subtylte
and
crafte
/
as
god
and
all
the
worlde
knoweth
.
But
sythe
the
kynge
my
souerayne
lorde
enclyneth
to
the
peace
/
it
is
reasone
that
we
agree
to
the
same
.
and
therfore
if
we
make
a
peace
acordyng
to
the
desyres
of
bothe
kynges
/
sythe
we
be
here
assembled
/
let
it
be
well
holden
on
your
syde
/
for
it
shall
be
well
kepte
on
our
partye
.
And
thus
the
duke
shewed
me
that
this
Roberte
the
Hermyte
departed
fro
hym
/
and
went
to
his
company
.
And
so
these
lordes
contynewed
styll
their
treatie
.
I
Wyll
make
no
further
processe
/
but
come
to
conclusyon
.
These
foure
dukes
that
were
at
this
assemble
/
and
had
full
power
a●d
auctorite
of
their
kynges
to
take
a
tre●●ce
/
and
to
make
a
peace
.
They
dyd
so
in
suche
wyse
/
that
generall
voyce
and
〈◊〉
through
the
towne
of
Abbeuyle
that
a
peace
was
taken
vpon
certayne
artycles
bytwene
the
two
kynges
/
their
alyes
and
consyderates
.
But
I
sir
Iohan
Froyssart
auctour
of
this
hystory
/
beynge
the
same
tyme
in
Abbe●●yle
/
coulde
nat
lerne
the
certaynte
of
the
artycles
comprised
in
that
peace
.
Howe
be
it
I
knewe
that
a
peace
was
taken
to
endure
four
yeres
/
to
be
kepte
ferme
and
stable
/
bothe
by
see
and
by
lande
.
And
it
was
concluded
and
agreed
that
within
the
sayde
space
of
the
four
yere
/
shulde
be
delyuered
to
the
kynge
of
Englande
for
euer
/
and
perpetually
to
all
kinges
of
Englande
and
to
his
commyssioners
/
all
the
landes
and
sygnories
in
the
countrey
of
Languedo●
/
and
to
be
as
of
the
demayne
and
herytage
of
the
crowne
of
Englande
.
And
this
doone
and
accomplysshed
/
it
was
agreed
by
the
same
ordynaunce
that
certayne
capitayns
and
their
men
that
helde
some
holdes
and
fortresses
in
the
Realme
of
Fraunce
/
shulde
aduoyde
and
departe
all
suche
as
made
warre
/
and
do
make
any
warre
/
vnder
the
shadowe
and
coloure
of
the
kyng
of
Englande
and
the
Englysshe
men
/
of
what
nacyon
so
euer
they
were
.
To
all
these
artycles
these
lordes
that
were
as
than
at
Balyngham
were
bounde
in
writynges
sygned
and
sealed
/
and
the
copyes
therof
sent
to
bothe
kynges
.
Than
the
dukes
of
Lancastre
and
Gloucestre
/
sent
an
harauld
called
Marche
/
with
letters
to
the
Kynge
of
Englande
/
shewynge
and
declarynge
all
the
hole
processe
&
ordynaunce
concluded
in
their
treatie
/
vpon
the
forme
of
peace
.
Thus
this
haraulde
departed
with
his
letters
/
and
rode
to
Calys
/
and
passed
ouer
to
Deuer
/
and
rode
forthe
tyll
he
came
to
the
kynge
/
who
was
at
a
manoure
of
his
owne
besyde
London
.
Whan
he
came
in
the
kynges
presence
he
delyuered
his
letters
.
And
whan
the
Kynge
had
redde
them
/
he
was
ryght
ioyouse
/
and
gaue
to
the
haraulde
for
his
good
tydynges
bryngynge
great
giftes
/
as
the
same
haraulde
shewed
me
after
at
leysare
/
as
I
rode
with
hym
in
to
the
Realme
of
Englande
.
These
foure
dukes
of
Fraunce
and
of
Englande
/
were
styll
at
Balyngham
/
and
soiourned
there
in
fayre
tentes
and
pauylyons
/
and
well
and
dylygently
perused
and
examyned
the
artycles
of
their

/
and
wolde
passe
nor
seale
to
none
tyll
all
darke
and
obscure
wordes
were
clerely
declared
and
made
perfyte
.
Nowe
in
the
same
season
there
happed
to
fall
a
great
lette
and
trouble
in
this
matter
/
wherby
all
was
nyghe
at
a
poynte
to
haue
been
broken
and
made
voyde
/
and
it
is
reason
I
tell
you
the
cause
/
to
the
entent
that
the
hystory
be
playne
and
trewe
.
YE
haue

Abbeuyle
/
and
also
to

dayly
howe
the
treatie
wente
forwarde
at
Balyngham
.
And
whan
the
four
dukes
were
at
a
poynt
(
as
ye
haue
herde
)
at
the
conclusyon
of
the

/
the
dukes
of
Lancastre
and
Gloucestre
sayd
/
howe
that
it
was
the
entensyon
of

Rycharde
kynge
of

and
his

Bonyface
beynge

chrystened

and
he
that
named
hym selfe
Clement
degraded
and
condempned
)
that
they
shulde
desyre
the
frenche
kynge
to
take
the

way
.
Whan
the
dukes
of
Berrey
and
Burgoyne
vnderstode
those
wordes
/
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
(
to
the
entent
somewhat
to

his
cosyns
of
Englande
/
and
to
the
entente
that
their
treatie
of

shulde

therby
)
sayd
.
Fayre

/
we
desyre

whiche

And
thervpon
they
toke
counsayle
/
and
than
aunswered
/
and
the
Duke
of
Burgoyne
spake
and
sayd
.
Fayre
cosyns
/
the

questyon
of
the
two
popes
/
is
nat
couenable
to
be
moued
nor
spoken
of
here
amonge
vs
/
and
we
marueyle
why
ye
put
this
mater
in
communycacion
/
for
at
the
fyrst
begynnyng
of
our
treatie
/
ye
refused
to

or
to

with
the
Legate
de
la
Lyne
/
who
is
as
yet
in
Abbeuyle
/
wherfore
we
rest
vs
on
that
.
Whan
the
cardynalles
at
Rome
dyd
chose
pope
Vrbayne
/
and
after
his
dyscease
pope
Bonyface
/
none
of
our
party
nor
yet
of

were
called
to
that
electyon
/
and
in
lykewyse
we
saye
of
Clement
/
who
is
at
Auygnon
.
We
saye
nat
agaynst
/
but
that
it
were
great
almes
to
a
pease
theym
/
and
to
vny
the
churche
/
who
so
myght
entende
to

/
but
lette
vs
leaue
that
mater
/
and
lette
the
vnyuersitees
and
clerkes
determyne
it
.
and
whan
all
our
busynesse
is
concluded
/
and
a
ferme
peace
ratifyed
/
than
by
the
counsayle
of
our
cosyn
the
kynge
of
Almayne
/
we
shall
entende
therto
gladly
on
our
partye
/
and
in
lykewyse
do

.
With
this
aunswere
the
dukes
of
Englande
were
well
content
/
for
it
semed
to
them
reasonable
.
Than
they
aunswered
and
sayde
.
Fayre
cosyns
ye

sayde
very
well
/
we
are
content

Thus
that

rested
.
Than
there
fell
a nother
great
lette
and
trouble
/
for
the
frenche
kynge
who
had
layne

the
towne
of

a

/
bycause
of

IN

passed
out

Roberte

Geneue
/
named

it

as
he

alwayes

whan
any
man

vny●n
of

/
he
wolde

alwayes
/
howe
he
wolde

and
so
he
dyd
/
in
maner
as
ye
haue
herde
here
before
/
wrongfully
or
ryghtfully
I
wyll
nat
determyne
.
Than
the
Cardynalles
there
were
sore
abasshed
/
and
studyed
whome
they
myght
chose
to
be
pope
.
The
same
tyme
the
Frenche
kynge
retourned
agayne
to
his

/
wherof
all
suche
as
loued
him
had
great
ioye

and
specyally
the
good
quene
/
who
had
gyuen
moche
almesse
and
done
many
pylgrymages
for
the
kynge
/
and
caused
generall
processyons
to
be
made
in
Parys
.
As
I
was
enfourmed
the
cardynals
at
Auygnon
dyd
electe
and
chose
to
be
pope
the
cardynall
de
la
Line
.
To
speke
truely
this
cardynall
was
an
holy
manne
and
of
good
lyfe
.
This
electyon
was
made
condycionally
/
that
if
the
frenche
kynge
and
his
counsayle
were
content
therwith
/
or
els
nat
.
Nowe
regarde
and
considre
the
great
subiectyon
that
the
churche
was
in
/
In
that

the

shulde
be
free
/
they
submytted
them
to
be

suche

shulde
haue
ben
ordred

.
Thus
this
cardynall
de
la
Lyne
was
chosen
pope
/
and
named
Benedic
.
He
gaue
generall
graces
to
all

And
by
the
counsayle
of
his

the

he
wrote
of

But
as
I

he

determyned
whether
he
shulde

ther vpon

sent
for

Than
mayster
Iohan

They

to

The

sawe

their

none

Thus

Howe

The

So

THus
(

taryed
the
space
of
two
monethes
lengar
than
it
shulde
haue
ben
/
and
I
shall
tell
you
why
.
THe
same
season
that
all
these
preparacyons
was
made
/
the
Quene
named
Anne
tooke
a
sickenesse
/
wherby
the
kynge
and
all
his
lordes
were
ryght
sore
troubled
/
for
she
was
so
sore
sicke
/
that
she
passed
out
of
this
worlde
at
the
feest
of
Penthecost
:
the
yere
of
our
lorde
god
a
thousande
thre
hundred
fourscore

fourtene
/
of
whose
dethe
the
kynge
and
all
that
loued
her
/
ladyes
and
damoselles
were
sore
troubled
/
and
in
great
heuynesse
.
She
was
buryed
at
Poules
in
London
/
and
her
obse●es
done
after
at
good
leysar
/
for
the
king
wolde
haue
it
done
sumptuously
/
with
great
habundaunce
of
waxe
/
tapers
/
and
torches
/
so
that
the
lyke
hadde
nat
ben
sene
before
.
The
kynge
wolde
haue
it
so
/
bycause
she
was
the
Emperours
doughter
of
Rome
and
kyng
of
Almaygne
.
The
kynge
loued
her
so
entierly
.
They
were
maryed
yonge
/
howe
be
it
she
dyed
without

.
Thus
in
one
season
/
the
kynge
/
the
duke
of

/
and
the
erle

were
wydowers
.
And
there
was
no
spekynge
of
remaryeng
/
nor
the
kyng
wolde
here
no
spekynge
therof

Thus
the
kynges

let

howe
be
it
the
prouisyon

other

/
whiche
was
alwayes
Englysshe
/
and
there
is
an
archebisshoppe
who
was
with
the
kynge
.
And
anone
after
Mydsomer
the
kynge
departed

toke

The

was
as

on

to

therfore
he

On

And
whan

had
in

copany
four
thousande
men

thyrtie
thousande
archers

They
shipped
at
thre
places
.
At
Brutowe
/
at
Holyheed
/
and
at
Herforde
/
they
passed
ouer
daylye
.
And
in
Irelande
all
redy
there
was
a
valyaunt
knyght

Englande

called
erle

Ormonde

He
helde
landes

so
dyde
his

it
was

The

hadde
the
vowarde
with
fyftene
hundred
speares

two
thousande
archers
.
The
kynge
of
Englande
and
his
two
vncles
toke
shyppinge
at
Herforde
in
Wales
.
Thus
the
army
passed
ouer
without
dommage
/
&
than
they
were
lodged
in
Irelande
/
by
the
apoyntement
of
the
duke
of
Gloucestre

by
the

all
abrode

beyond
the
cytie
of
Duuelyn
a
.xxx.
myle
/
for
the

was
as

inhabytable

Howe
be
it
they
laye
wysely
and
surely
for
feare
of
the
yrisshe
men
/
as
nede
was
/
or
els
they
myght
haue
taken
great
dommage
.
And
the
kynge
and
his
vncles
were
lodged
in
the
cytie
of
Duuelyn
:
and
as
it
was
shewed
me
all
the
whyle
they
were
there
/
they
were
largely
prouyded
of
vitayls
:
For
the
Englysshe
men
are
/
suche
men
of
warre
as
can
well
forage
and
take
aduauntage
/
and
make

And

THese

durste

to

who
as

was
called

And
I
had
engrosed

a
fayre

well
enlumyned
/
all
the
matters
of
Amours
and
moralytees
/
that
in
four
and
twentie
yeres

hadde
made
and
compyled
/
whiche
greatly
quickened
my
desyre
to
go

to
se

Rycharde
/
who
was
sonne
to
the
noble
prince
of
Wales
and
of
Acquitayne

for
I
hadde
nat
sene
this
kynge
Rycharde

sythe
he
was
Christened
in
the
Cathedrall
churche
of
Burdeaux
/
at

tyme
I
was

thought
to
haue

And
whanne
we
were
in

the

sente
me
backe
in

Englande
to
the
Quene
his
mother

For
these
causes
and
other
/
I
hadde
great
desyre
to
go
in
to
Englande
to
se
the
kynge
and
his

Also
I
hadde
this
said
fayre

well
couered

garnysshed

of
Syluer

gylte

therof

I
hadde
suche

goo
this

that
the
payne
and
traueyle
greued
me
nothyng

Thus
prouyded
of
horses

other
necessaries
I
passed
the
See
at
Calais
and
came
to
Douer
/
the
.xii.
daye
of
the
moneth

Iuly

Whanne
I
came
there
I
founde
no

it

.
The
kyng
hadde
a
deuocyon
to
visyte
saynt
Thomas
shrine
/
and
also
bycause
the
prince
his
father
was
there
buryed
Than
I
thought
to
abyde
the
kynge
there
/
and
so
I
dyde
.
And
the
next
daye
the
kynge
came
thyder
with
a
noble
company
of
lordes
ladyes
/
and
damoselles
.
And
whan
I
was
among
them
they
semed
to
me
all
newe
folkes
I
knewe
no
persone
.
The
tyme
was
sore
chaunged
in
.xxviii.
yere
.
And
with
the
kynge
as
than
was
none
of
his
vncles
/
the
duke
of
Lancastre
was
in
Acquitayne
/
and
the
dukes
of
yorke
and
Glocestre
were
in
other
busynesses
/
so
that
I
was
at
the
firste
all
abasshed
/
for
if
I
had
sene
any
auncyent
knyght
that
had
ben
with
kyng
Edwarde
or
with
the
price
/
I
had
ben
well
reconforted
and
wolde
haue
gone
to
hym
/
but
I
coulde
se
none
suche

Thanne
I
demaunded

Than
I
thought
to
go
to
the
lorde
Thomas
Percy
/
great
seneschall
of
Englade
who
was
there
with
the
kyng
.
so
I
acquaynted
me
with
hym
and
I
founde
hym
right
honorable
and
gracyous
.
And
he
offred
to
present
me
and
my
letters
to
the
kynge
/
wherof
I
was
right
ioyfull
/
for
it
behoued
me
to
haue
some
meanes
to
bringe
me
to
the
presence
of
suche
a
prince
as
the
Kynge
of
Englande
was

He
wente
to
the
kynges
Chambre
/
at
whiche
tyme
the
kynge
was
gone
to
slepe
/
and
so
he
shewed
me

and
badde
me
retourne
to
my
lodgynge
and
come
agayne
/
and
so
I
dyde
.
And
whan
I
came
to
the
bysshoppes
palays
/
I
founde
the
lorde
Thomas
Percy
redy

And
he
counsayled
me
to

I
ordered

&
by

I
was
lodged
in
an

Than
he

.
I

Than
on

in

Lysle
and
I
rode
toguyder
/
and
on
the
waye
I
demaunded

.
He

Than
I

and

Than
I

.
Than
he
sayd
/
howe

&
his
felowe
were
entred
and
past
the
gate
that
was
called
the

of
saynt
Patryke
/
and
that
they
were
discended
and
gone
downe
thre
or
four
paces
/
discendyng
downe
as
in
to
a
cellar
/
a
certayne
hoote
wapure
rose
agaynst

to
their

/
that
they
were
fayne
to

steres
/
whiche
are
of
stone
.
And
after
they
had
sytte

a
season
/
they
had
great
desyre
to
slepe
/
and
so
fell
a
slepe
and
slepte

.
Than
I
demaunded
that

or

they
had
:
he

wherfore

he
thought
all

Than
I
lefte
spekyng

that
matter
/
bycause
I
wolde
fayne
haue
knowen
of
hym
what
was
done
in
the
voyage
in
Irelande
.
And
I
thought
as
than
to
haue
demaunded
what
the
kyng
had
done
in
that
iourney
/
but
than
company
of
other
knyghtes
came
and
fell
in
communycacion
with
hym
/
so
that
I
lefte
my
purpose
for
that
tyme
.
Thus
we
robe
to
Ledes
/
and
thyder
came
the
kyng
and
all
his
company
/
and
there
I
founde
the

delyuered
my

of

Than
I

So
I
was
aduaunsed
by

of

By

by

of

that
I
had

The

First

They

/
bycause
it

For

The

aunswered
to

and
sayd

that
he
was
nat

to

them
away
to

lorde
/
nor
to

These
demaundes
and
denyenges
were
longe
a
debatyng
/
bytwene
the
duke
of
Lancastre
and
the
lordes
and
townes
of

.
And
whan

than
he
made
request
to
the
countrey
that
the
prelates
and

.
Than
they
of
Gascon
consydred
well
that
his
request
was
reasonable
/
and
agreed
to
do
as
the
duke
had
desyred
.
Than
the

rode
to
Burdeaur
/
and
was
lodged
in
the
abbey
of
saint
Andrewes
/
where
he
had
ben

Than

Than

There

castell
Morante

Thus

/
and
bycause
they
shulde
take
the
lesse
payne
he
promysed
to
come
and
mete

.
And
whan

/
they
gaue
credence
therto
and
ordred
them
there
after
/
and
as
sone
as
they
knewe
that
the

/
they
departed
fro

and
rode
thyder
.
There
they
were
receyued
and
lodged
in
the
towne
/
and
their
company
in

subbarbes
.
These
lordes
spake
with
the
Duke

.
The

wherfore

sayd
he

/
therof
they
myght
be
well
assured
.
The
dukes
aunswere
pleased
greatly
the
lordes
of
Fraunce
.
Thus
the
duke
and
they
were
louingly
togyder
/
and
the
duke
gaue

great
dyner
and
supper
/
and

They

the

of
Berrey
at
the
cytie
of
Poyeters
/
and
they
shewed
hym
what

The

of
Berrey
thought
the

Lancasters
answere
reasonable

And

artycles
of

And

that
in
a
maner
the

thynke
they
haue

And
I
aunswered
I
wolde
so
do
.
Well
quod
the
knyght
/
one
(
as
me
thought
was
offyciall
of
Burdeaux
)
spake
for
all

first
shewed
forthe
his

and
auctorite
/
to
the

he
myght
the
better
be
beleued

and
than
beganne
and
sayde
/
that
the
cytie
of
Burdeaux
/
and
the
cyties
of
Bayon
and
Dax
and
all
the
sygnories
and
lorshyppes
that
be
appendaunt
to
the
lymyttes
of
the
sayd
countreys
and
cyties
/
are
of
so
noble
condycyon
/
that
no
kyng
of
Englande
by
no
maner
of
accyon
or
dede
may
put
awaye
or
dysceuer
them
fro
the
demayns
of
the
crowne
of
Englande
/
nor

or
alyenate
them
/
to
chylde
/
vncle
/
nor
brother
/
by
reasone
of
maryage
or
otherwise
/
and
to
veryfie
this
we
say
that
the
aboue
named
townes
/
cyties
/
and
sygnories
are
suffyciently
priueleged
by
kynges
of
Englande
/
who
haue
sworne
faythfully
to

For

entreth
in

And

And
ther

Rycharde

there
openly
he
redde

The

was
well
herde

for
it
was
bothe
in

and
it

Whanne

Crowne
of

.
Therwith
this
offyciall
helde
his
peace
/
and
the
prelates
and
lordes
eche
of
them
regarded
other
.
Than
they
drewe
togyther
and
aproched
to
the
kynge
fyrste
his
two
vncles
/
and
the
erles
of
Derby
and
Arundell
.
Than
they
of
Acquytayne
were
commaunded
to
departe
tyll
they
were
called
agayne
.
They
departed
and
also
the
two
knightes
that
were
come
thyder
fro
the
duke
of
Lancastre
.
Than
the
kyng
demaunded
counsayle
what
shulde
be
done
/
and
what
aunswere
shulde
be
made
.
The
prelates
tourned
the
aunswere
to
the
kynges
vncles
/
bycause
the
mater
touched
them
rather
than
any
other
.
At
the
fyrst
they
excused
them
sayeng
they
myght
nat
well
aunswere
/
for
the
mater
was
commune
/
and
ought
to
be
debated
by
commune
counsayle
/
and
nat
by
lygnage
nor
fauour
.
Thus
they
bode
a
good
space
/
but
fynally
the
aunswere
was
layde
on
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
/
and
he
was
prayed
and
requyred
to
saye
his
aduyse
.
Than
he
aunswered
and
sayde
/
howe
it
was
a
herde
thynge
to
take
a
way
or
to
dysanull
the
gyfte
of
a

confermed

all
his

wherfore
he
sayde
his

shuld

for
in
that
they
wolde
make
that
the

shulde

lorde
of
his
owne
enheritaunce
/
if
that
he
myght
nat
do
with
his
owne
what
it
pleased
hym
.
some
glosed
those
wordes
/
and
some
though●
in
their
corage
/
that
the
aunswere
was
nat
reasonable
/
but
they
durste
nat
saye
agaynst
it
/
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
was
so
sore
dred
/
and
the
erle
of
Derby
sonne
to
the
duke
of
Lancastre
was
there
presente
/
who
furthered
those
wordes
and
sayde
.
Fayre
vncle
ye
haue
well
sayd
/
I
am
of
your
opinyon
.
Therwith
the
counsayle
began
to
breke
/
and
some
murmured
one
with
another
/
and
they
of
Guyen
nor
yet
the
duke
of
Lancasters
knightes
were
nat
called
agayne
at
that
tyme
.
Whan
the
kynge
sawe
all
the
mater
he
dyssimuled
a
lytell
/
and
it
was
his
entensyon
that
they
shulde
assemble
togyther
agayne
in
counsayle
after
dyner
/
to
se
if
any
other
propre
way
myght
be
taken
for
the
honoure
of
the
crowne
of
Englande
.
Than
the
kynge
caused
the
bysshop
of
Caunterbury
to
speke
of
that
he
had
gyuen
hym
in
charge
in
the
mornynge
to
speke
of
/
that
was
vpon
the
state
of
his
maryage
/
and
to
sende

Fraunce
.
The
lordes
were
of
accorde
and
named
them
that
shulde
go
/
whiche
were
the
archebysshoppe
of
Duuelyn

the

/
the

Loys
Clyfforde
/
and
twenty

These
were
sent
in

Fraunce
to
treat
for
the
maryage
of
the
frenche
kynges
doughter
Isabell
/
of
eyght
yere
of

/
and
yet
she
was
all
redy
promysed
to
the
duke
of
Bretayns
sonne
/
by
a
treatie
that
was
made
in
Towrs
in
Thourayne
.
Nowe
beholde
howe
this
myght
be
broken
/
for
the
Frenche
kynge
and
his
vncles
hadde
sealed
with
the
duke
of
Bretayne
/
yet
for
all
that
thenglysshe
ambassadours
had
their
charge
gyuen
vnto
them
/
and
so
they
departed
out
of
Englande
and
aryued
at
Calays
/
&
there
taryed
a
fyue
dayes
/
and
than
departed
in
great
araye
/
and
tooke
the
waye
to
Amyence
/
and
they
sente
before
Marche
the
haraulde

who
had
brought
to
them
saueconducte
goynge
and
comyng
/
and
besyde
that
the
lorde
Moncheuerell
was
sette
to
be
their
guyde
/
and
to
se
them
serued
of
all
thynges
necessary
.
¶
Nowe
we
shall
leaue
to
speke
of
them
and
retourne
to
our
fyrste
purpose
.
NOwe
as
I
haue
shewed
you
before
/
the
counsaylours
of
the
Cyties
and
good
townes
of
Acquytayne
/
prayed
the
kynge
and
his
counsayle
/
to
whome
they
were
boude
/
to
mayntayn
their
lyberties
and
fraunches
/
as
in
the
demayne
of
the
Crowne
of
Englande
/
as
he
was
sworne
to
do
/
affermynge
that
surely
they
wolde
kepe
their
auncyente
lyberties
/
and
wyll
nat
breke
it
for
no
maner
of
cause
or
condycion
/
and
in
holdynge
thus
their
opynyon
/
foure
partes
of
the
counsayle
and
the
commune
voyce
of
the
countrey
/
reputed
theym
for
valyaunt
and
worthy
men
.
But
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
was
of
another
opinyon
/
for
he
wolde
that
his
brother
the
duke
of
Lancastre
shuld
haue
bydden
styll
in
Acquytayne
/
for
he
thought
he
was
ouer
great
in
Englande
/
and
to
nere
the
kynge
/
as
for
his
brother
the
duke
of
yorke
he
cared
nat
/
for
the
duke
of
yorke
was
a
prince
that
loued
his
ease
and
lytell
busynesse
.
Also
he
had
a
fayre
lady
to
his
wyfe
/
doughter
to
the
erle
of
Kent
/
on
whome
was
all
his
pleasure
.
But
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
was
subtyle
/
and
euer
demaunded
somwhat
of
his
nephue
kynge
Rycharde
/
yet
he
was
but
poore
/
for
all
that
he
was
a
great
lorde
and
constable
of
Englande
/
and
erle
of
Hertforde
&
of
Perces
/
and
of
Bokyngham
/
and
also
he
had
yerely
out
of
the
kynges
cofers
foure
thousande
nobles
/
and
neuer
rode
on
the
kinges
busynesse
nor
for
the
realme
one
daye
/
without
he
knewe
why
and
wherfore
.
For
these
causes
he
was
nat
indyfferent
/
for
the
maters
of
Acquytayne
/
for
he
wolde
haue
had
his
brother
of
Lancastre
to
haue
bydden
still
in
Acquitayn
for
euer
/
for
than
he
thought
he
wolde
haue
shyfted
well
ynoughe
in
Englande
.
As
soone
as
he
had
sayd
his
sentence
(
as
ye
haue
herde
before
)
and
that
he
sawe
some
murmured
in
the
kynges
chambre
/
and
that
the
prelates
and
lordes
talked
togyther
two
and
two
/
he
issued
out
of
the
chambre
/
and
the
erle
of
Derby
with
hym
/
and
came
in
to
the
hall
at
E●tham
/
and
made
a
clothe
to
be
layde
on
a
table
and
so
sate
/
downe
to
dynner
/
and
lefte
all
other
styll
talkynge
togyther
.
Whan
the
duke
of
yorke
knewe
that
he
was
at
dyner
/
he
went
to
kepe
hym
company
.
and
after
dyner
whiche
he
made
shorte
/
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
dyssymuled
the
mater
/
and
tooke
his
leaue
of
the
Kynge
syttynge
at
the
table
/
and
so
departed
and
toke
his
horse
and
rode
to
London
/
and
the
erle
of
Derby
abode
styll
with
the
lordes
that
daye
and
the
nexte
daye
.
Thus
they
of
Acquytayne
coulde
haue
none
expedicyon
nor
delyueraunce
.
I
Haue
delyght
to
write
this
mater
at
length
/
bycause
to
enfourme
you
of
the
trouthe
/
for
I
that
am
auctour
of
this
hystory
was
presente
in
all
these
maters
/
and
this
valyaunt
knyght
syr
Rycharde
Surye
shewed
me
euery
thynge
.
And
so
it
was
that
on
the
sonday
folowynge
all
suche
as
had
ben
there
were
departed
/
and
all
their
counsaylours
/
except
the
duke
of
yorke
/
who
abode
styll
about
the
kynge
/
and
the
lorde
Thomas
Percy
and
syr
Rycharde
Sury
shewed
my
busynesse
to
the
kynge
.
Than
the
kynge
desyred
to
se
my
booke
that
I
had
brought
for
hym
.
So
he
sawe
it
in
his
chambre
/
for
I
had
layde
it
there
redy
on
his
bedde
.
Whanne
the
Kynge
opened
it
/
it
pleased
hym
well
/
for
it
was
fayre
enlumyned
and
written
/
and
couered
with
crymson
veluet
/
with
ten
botons
of
syluer
and
gylte
/
and
Roses
of
golde
in
the
myddes
with
two
great
clapses
gylte
/
rychely
wrought
.
Than
the
kyng
demaunded
me
wherof
it
treated
/
and
I
shewed
hym
/
howe
it
treated
of
maters
of
loue
/
wherof
the
kynge
was
gladde
and
loked
in
it
/
and
reed
it
in
many
places
/
for
he
coulde
speke
and
rede
Frenche
very
well
.
And
he
tooke
it
to
a
knyght
of
his
chambre
named
sir
Rycharde
Creadon
/

Sir
Iohan
/
it
is
nat
in

that
euer
any

The

was
a
nyne
monethes
in
the

of
Irelande
to
his
great
cost

&
charge
to
the

bare
all

And
the

of
the
realme
thought
it
well
bestowed
/
whan
they
sawe
the
kynge
retourne

agayne
with
honour
.
The
nombre
that
he

were
foure
thousande
knyghtes
and
.xxx.
thousande
archers
/
well
payde
wekely
/
that
euery
manne
was
well
pleased
.
but
I
shewe
you
/
bycause
ye
shulde
knowe
the
tronthe
.
Irelande
is
one
of
the
yuell
countreis
of
the
worlde
to
make
warre
vpon
/
or
to
bring
vnder
subiection
.
For
it
is
closed
strongely
and
wyldely
with
highe
forestes
and
great
waters
and
maresshes
/
and
places
inhabytable
.
It
is
harde
to
entre
to
do
them
of
the
countrey
any
dommage
/
nor
ye
shall
fynde
no
towne
nor

.
For

drawe
to

/
vnder

and
among

/
lyke
wylde
sauage

And
whan
they
knowe
that
any
man
maketh
warre
agaynst
them
/
and
is
entred
in
to
their
countreis
/
than
they
drawe
toguyder
to
the
straytes
and
passages
/
and
defende
it
/
so
that
no

can
entre
in

them
.
And
whan
they
se
their
tyme
/
they
wyll
sone
take
their
aduauntage
on
their

/
for
they
knowe
the

and
are
lyght

.
For
a

of

beyng
neuer
so
well

/
the

yea
/
and

vp
vpon

hym

wherwith

They

they
sette

they
wyll

wyll
contynewe
in

as

Trouthe
it
is
that
foure
of
the
princypall
kynges
and
moste
puyssaunt
/
after
the
maner
of
the

are

obeysaunce
of
the
kynge
of
Englande
by
loue
and
fayrenesse
/
and
nat
by
batayle
nor
constraynte
.
The
erle
of
Ormonde
who
marcheth
vpon
them
hath
taken
great
payne
/
and
hath
so
treated
with
them
/
that
they
came
to
Duuelyn
to
the
kynge
/
and
submytted
them
to
hym
/
to
be
vnder
the
obeysaunce
of
the
crowne
of
Englande
/
wherfore
the
kyng
and
all
the
realme
reputeth
this
for
a
great

an
honourable
dede
/
and
thynketh
this
voyage
well
be
stowed

for
kynge
Edwarde
of
good
memory
dyd
neuer
so
moche
vpon
them
as
kynge
Rycharde
dyde
in
this
voyage
.
The
honour
is
great
but
the
profite
is
but
lytell
:
For
though
they
be
kynges
yet
no
man
can
deuyse
nor
speke
of
ruder
personages
.
I
Shall
shewe
you
somwhat
of
their
rudenesse
/
to
the
entente
it
maye
be
ensample
agayne
people
of
other
nacyons
/
I
knowe
it
well
/
for
I
haue
proued
it
by
them selues
/
For
whan
they
were
at
Duuelyn
I
hadde
the
gouernaunce
of
them
about
a
moneth
/
by
the
kynges
commauudement
and
his
counsayle
/
to
th
entent
that
I
shulde
lerne
them
to
vse
them selfe
accordyng
to
the
vsage
of
Englande
/
&
bycause
I
coulde
speke
their
language
/
as
well
as
Frenche
or
Englysshe
/
for
in
my
youthe
I
was
brought
vp
amonge
theym
.
I
was
with
the
erle
of
Ormonde
/
father
to
the
Erle
that
nowe
is
/
who
loued
me
right
well
/
bycause
I
coulde
as
than
ryde
and
handell
an
horse
metely
well
.
And
it
fortuned
one
tyme
that
the
sayde
erle
(
who
as
than
was
my
maister
)
was
sent
with
thre
hundred
speares
and
a
thousande
archers
in
to
the
marchesse
of
Irelande
/
to
make
warre
with
the
yrisshe
men
/
for
alwayes
the
Englysshe
men
haue
had
warre
with
them
/
to
subdue
and
putte
them
vnder
.
And
on
a
daye
as
the
sayd
Erle
went
agaynst
them
/
I
rode
on
a
goodly
horse
of
his
/
lyght
and
swyfte
:
Thus
I
rode
&
folowed
my
mayster
.
And
the
same
day
the
yrisshe
men
were
layde
in
a
busshement
/
and
whanne
we
came
nere
theym
/
they
opyned
their
busshement
.
Thanne
the
Englisshe
archers
began
to
shote
so
egerly
that
the
yrisshe
men
coulde
nat
suffre
it
/
for
they
are
but
simply
armed
/
therfore
they
reculed
and
wente
backe
.
Thanne
the
Erle
my
mayster
folowed
in
the
chase
/
and
I
that
was
well
horsed
folowed
hym
as
nere
as
I
coude
.
and
it
fortuned
so
that
my
horse
was
afrayd
/
and
toke
his
bridell
in
his
tethe
and
ranne
away
with
me
/
&
whether
I
wolde
or
nat
/
he
bare
me
so
farforthe
amonge
the
yrisshe
men
/
that
one
of
them
by
lyghtnesse
of
ronnynge
lepte
vp
behynde
me
/
and
enbrased
me
in
his
armes
/
&
dyde
me
none
other
hurt
/
but
so
ledde
me
out
of
the
way
/
and
so
rode
styll
behynde
me
the
space
of
two
houres
.
And
at
the
laste
brought
me
in
to
a
secrete
place
/
thycke
of
busshes
/
and
there
he
founde
his
company
who
were
come
thyder
and
scaped
all
daungers
/
for
the
Englysshe
men
pursued
nat
so
farre
.
Than
as
he
shewed
he
had
great
ioye
of
me
/
and
ledde
me
in
to
a
towne
and
a
stronge
house
amonge
the
woodes
/
waters
/
and
myres
.
The
towne
was
called
Harpely
/
and
the
gentylman
that
toke
me
was
called
Brine
Costeret
.
He
was
a
goodly
man
/
and
as
it
hath
ben
shewed
me
/
he
is
as
yet
a
lyue
/
how
be
it
he
is
very
aged
.
This
Brine
Costeret
kepte
me
seuyn
yere
with
hym
/
and
gaue
me
his
doughter
in
maryage
/
of
whom
I
hadde
two
doughters
.
I
shall
shewe
you
howe
I
was
delyuered
.
IT
happened
at
the
seuin
yeres
ende
one
of
their
kynges
named
Arthur
mackemur
/
kyng
of
Lynster
/
made
an
armye
agaynst
duke
Lyon
of
Clarence
/
sonne
to
kyng
Edwarde
of
Englande
/
and
agaynst
sir
Wyllm
of
Wynsore
.
And
nat
farre
fro
the
cytie
of
Lynster
the
Englysshe
men
&
yrisshe
men
mette
toguyder
/
and
many
were
slayne
and
taken
on
bothe
parties
/
But
the
Englysshe
men
opteygned
the
vyctorie
and
the
yrisshe
men
fledde
/
and
the
kyng
Arthur
saued
hym selfe
/
but
Brine
Costeret
my
wyues
father
was
taken
prisoner
vnder
the
duke
of
Clarence
baner
.
He
was
taken
on
the
same
courser
/
that
he
toke
me
on
.
The
horse
was
well
knowen
amonge
the
erle
of
Ormondes
folkes
/
and
than
he
shewed
howe
I
was
alyue
and
was
at
his
maner
of
Harpelyn
/
&
howe
I
had
wedded
his
doughter
/
wherof
the
duke
of
Clarence
/
sir
Wylliam
Wynsore
/
and
the
Englysshe
men
were
ryght
gladde
.
Thanne
it
was
shewed
hym
that
if
he
wolde
be
delyuered
out
of
prison
/
that
he
shulde
delyuer
me
in
to
the
Englysshe
mennes
handes
/
and
my
wyfe
and
chyldren
.
With
gret
payne
he
made
that
bargayne
/
for
he
loued
me
well
and
my
wyfe
his
doughter
and
our
chyldren
Whan
he
sawe
he
coulde
make
his
fynaunce
none
otherwyse
/
he
accorded
therto
/
but
he
reteigned
myne
eldest
doughter
styll
with
him
So
I
and
my
wyfe
and
our
seconde
doughter
retourned
in
to
Englande
/
and
so
I
went
and
dwelte
besyde
Bristowe
on
the
ryuer
of
Syuerne
.
My
two
doughters
are
maryed
/
and
she
in
Irelande
hath
thre
sonnes
and
two
doughters
/
and
she
that
I
brought
with
me
hath
foure
sonnes
and
two
doughters
.
&
bycause
the
langage
of
yrisshe
is
as
redy
to
me
as
the
Englysshe
tong
(
for
I
haue
alwayes
contynued
with
my
wyfe
/
and
taught
my
children
the
same
speche
)
Therfore
the
kyng
my
souerayne
lorde
and
his
counsayle
/
commaunded
me
to
gyue
attendaunce
on
these
four
kynges
/
and
to
gouerne
and
bringe
them
to
reason
/
and
to
the
vsage
&
customes
of
Englande
seyng
they
hadde
yelded
them
to
to
be
vnder
his
obeysaunce
/
&
of
the
crowne
of
Englande
and
they
were
sworne
to
holde
it
for
euer
.
&
yet
I
ensure
you
/
for
all
that
/
I
dyde
my
power
to
ensygne
and
to
lerne
them
good
maner
/
yet
for
all
that
they
be
ryght
rude
and
of
grose
engyn
/
moche
payne
I
hadde
to
make
them
to
speke
any
thyng
in
fayre
maner
/
somwhat
I
altred
them
but
nat
moche
/
for
in
many
cases
they
drewe
to
their
naturall
rudenesse
.
The
kyng
my
soueraygne
lordes
entent
was
/
that
in
maner
/
countenaunce
/
and
apparell
of
clothyng
/
they
shulde
vse
accordyng
to
the
maner
of
Englande
/
for
the
kynge
thought
to
make
them
all
four
knyghtes
they
had
a
fayre
house
to
lodge
in
in
Duuelyn
/
and
I
was
charged
to
abyde
styll
with
them
and
nat
to
departe
.
And
so
two
or
thre
dayes
I
suffred
them
to
do
as
they
lyst
/
and
sayde
nothynge
to
them
/
but
folowed
their
owne
appetytes
.
They
wolde
sytte
at
the
table
and
make
countenaunce
nother
good
nor
fayre
.
Than
I
thought
I
shulde
cause
them
to
chaunge
that
maner
.
They
wolde
cause
their
mystrelles
/
their
seruauntes
/
and
varlettes
/
to
sytte
with
them
and
to
eate
in
their
owne
dysshe
/
and
to
drinke
of
their
cuppes
.
And
they
shewed
me
/
that
the
vsage
of
their
countre
was
good
/
for
they
sayd
/
in
all
thynges
(
except
their
beddes
)
they
were
and
lyued
as
commen
.
So
the
fourthe
day
I
ordayned
other
tables
to
be
couered
in
the
hall
/
after
the
vsage
of
Englande
.
And
I
made
these
four
kynges
to
sytte
at
the
hyghe
table
/
and
there
mynstrels
at
another
borde
/
and
their
seruantes
and
varlettes
at
another
byneth
them
/
wherof
by
semynge
they
were
displeased
/
and
behelde
eche
other
&
wolde
nat
care
/
and
sayd
/
howe
I
wolde
take
fro
them
their
good
vsage
/
wherin
they
hadde
been
norisshed
.
Than
I
answered
them
smylyng
to
a
peace
theym
/
that
it
was
nat
honourable
for
their
estates
to
do
as
they
dyde
before
/
and
that
they
must
leaue
it
/
and
vse
the
custom
of
Englande
/
and
that
it
was
the
kynges
pleasure
they
shulde
so
do
/
and
how
he
was
charged
so
to
order
them
.
Whan
they
harde
that
they
suffred
it
/
bycause
they
had
putte
them selfe
vnder
the
obeysaunce
of
the
kyng
of
Englande
/
and
parceuered
in
the
same
as
long
as
I
was
with
them
.
yet
they
hadde
one
vse
whiche
I
knewe
well
was
vsed
in
their
countre
/
and
that
was
they
dyde
were
no
breches
I
caused
breches
of
lynen
clothe
to
be
made
for
them
.
Whyle
I
was
with
them
I
caused
them
to
leaue
many
rude
thynges
/
aswell
in
clothyng
as
in
other
causes
.
Moche
ado
I
had
at
the
fyrst
to
cause
them
to
weare
gownes
of
sylke
furred
with
Myneuere
&
gray
/
For
before
these
kynges
thought
them selfe
well
apparelled
whan
they
hadde
on
a
mantell
.
They
rode
alwayes
without
sadelles
&
styropes
/
and
with
great
payne
I
made
them
to
ryde
after
our
vsage
.
Andon
a
tyme
I
demaunded
them
of
their
beleue
/
wherwith
they
were
nat
content
/
and
sayd
/
howe
they
beleued
on
god
and
on
the
trynite
/
aswell
as
we
.
Than
I
demaunded
on
what
pope
was
their
affection
The
aunswered
me
on
hym
of
Rome
.
Thanne
I
demaunded
if
they
wolde
nat
gladly
receyue
the
order
of
knyghthode
/
and
that
the
kyng
of
Englande
shulde
make
them
knyghtes
/
accordynge
to
the
vsage
of
Fraunce
and
Englande
/
and
other
countreis
.
they
aunswered
howe
they
were
knyghtes
all
redye
/
and
that
suffyced
for
theym
.
I
asked
where
they
were
made
knyghtes
/
and
howe
and
whan
.
They
answered
/
that
in
the
age
of
seuyn
yere
they
were
made
knyghtes
in
Irelande
/
And
that
a
kynge
maketh
his
sonne
a
knyght
.
and
if
the
sonne
haue
no
father
alyue
/
than
the
nexte
of
his
blode
maye
make
hym
knyght
.
And
thanne
this
yonge
knyght
shall
begyn
to
iuste
with
small
speares
/
suche
as
they
maye
beare
with
their
case
/
and
rynne
agaynst
a
shelde
/
sette
on
a
stake
in
the
felde
/
and
the
more
speares
that
he
breaketh
/
the
more
he
shal
be
honoured
.
I
knewe
their
maner
well
ynough
/
though
I
dyde
demaunde
it
.
But
than
I
sayd
/
that
the
knighthode
that
they
had
taken
in
their
youthe
/
suffyced
nat
to
the
kynge
of
Englande
.
But
I
sayde
he
shulde
gyue
theym
after
another
maner
.
They
demaunded
howe
.
I
aunswered
/
that
it
shulde
be
in
the
holy
churche
/
whiche
was
the
moost
worthyest
place
.
Than
they
enclyned
somewhat
to
my
wordes
.
Within
two
dayes
after
the
erle
of
Ormonde
came
to
them
who
coude
right
well
speke
the
langage
/
for
some
of
his
landes
laye
in
those
parties
.
He
was
sente
to
them
by
the
kynge
and
his
counsayle
.
They
all
honoured
hym
and
he
them
.
Than
he
fell
in
swete
communycacion
with
them
/
and
he
demaunded
of
them
howe
they
lyked
me
.
They
aunswered
and
sayde
/
well
for
he
hath
well
shewed
vs
the
vsage
of
this
countrey
/
wherfore
we
ought
to
thanke
him
/
and
so
we
do
.
This
aunswere
pleased
well
the
erle
of
Ormonde
.
Than
he
entred
lytell
and
lytell
to
speke
of
the
order
of
chiualry
/
whiche
the
kyng
wolde
they
shulde

He

poynt
to

/
howe
they
shulde
behaue
them selfe
/
and
what
parteygned
to
knyghthode
.
The
erles
wordes
pleased
moche
these
four
kynges
/
whose
names
were
these
.
Fyrst
the
great
Ancle
kyng

Mecte
.
The

The

The

They

in

/
dedycate
of

Iohan
Baptyst
It
was
done
on
our
lady
day
in
Marche
/
as
than
it
fell

.
These
four
kynges
watched
all
the

before
in
the

and
the
nexte

at

masse
tyme

These
kynges
sate
that

at
the

with
kyng
Rycharde
.
They
were
regarded
of
many
folkes
/
bicause
there
behauyng
was

to
the
maner
of
Englande
/
and
other
countreis
/
and
euer
naturally
men
desyre
to
se
newelties
.
Than
I
sir
Iohn
Froissart
sayde
.
Henry
/
I
beleue
you
well
:
&
I
wolde
it
had
cost
me
largely
that
I
had
been
there
.
And
surely
this
yere
past
I
hadde
come
hyder
and
it
hadde
nat
been
/
for
that
I
herde
of
the
dethe
of
quene
Anne
of
Englande
/
whiche
dyde
lette
me
.
But
one
thynge
I
wolde
desyre
of
you
to
knowe
/
howe
these
four
kynges
of
Irelande
came
so
soone
to
the
kynge
of
Englandes
obeysaunce
/
whan
kynge
Edwarde
the
kynges
graunfather
/
who
was
so
valyaunt
a
prince
and
so
redouted
ouer
all
/
coude
neuer
subdue
them
nor
putte
them
vnder
/
and
yet
he
had
alwayes
warre
with
them
.
and
in
that
they
are
subdued
nowe
/
ye
sayd
it
was
by
treatie
/
and
by
the
grace
of
god
.
In
dede
the
grace
of
god
is
good
/
who
so
can
haue
it
/
it
is
moche
worthe
.
But
it
is
sene
nowe
a
dayes
/
that
erthely
princes
getteth
lytell
without
it
be
by
puissaunce
.
I
desyre
to
know
this
for
whan
I
shall
come
in
to
Heynalt
/
of
which
countrey
I
am
of
/
I
shal
be
examyned
of
this
and
many
other
thynges
/
bothe
by
duke
Aubert
of
Bauier
/
erle
of
Heynalte
/
of
Holande
and
of

/
and
also
by
his
sonne
Wyllm
of
Bauyere
/
who
writeth
hym selfe
lorde
of
Frese
/
whiche
is
a
great
countrey
and
a
puissaunt
/
whiche
countrey
the
sayd
duke
and
his
sonne
claymeth
to
haue
by
ryght
successyon
/
and
so
dyde
their
predecessours
before
them
/
but
the
Fresons
wolde
neuer
fall
to
any
reason
/
nor
come
vnder
obeysaunce
/
nor
as
yet
do
nat
vnto
this
day
.
than
answered
sir
Henry
Christall
&
sayd
.
Sir
Iohan
/
to
shewe
you
the
very
trouth
I
can
nat
/
but
as
many
a
one
saythe
/
&
it
is
to
suppose
/
that
the
great
puissaunce
that
the
kyng
had
ouer
with
him
/
and
taryed
there
in
their
countrey
nyne
monethes
/
and
euery
man
well
payed
/
abasshed
the
yrisshe
men
.
Also
the
see
was
closed
fro
them
on
all
partes
/
wherby
their
lyuenges
and
marchaundises
myght
nat
entre
in
to
their
countreys
/
thoughe
they
that
dwell
farre
within
the
realme
cared
lytell
for
it
(
for
they
knowe
natte
what
marchaundyse
meaneth
/
nor
they
lyue
but
grosely
and
rudely
like
vnto
beestes
)
yet
suche
as
lyueth
on
the
marchesse
of
England
and
by
the
See
coost
/
vse
feate
of
marchaundyse
with
vs
/
and
in
to
other
places
.
Kynge
Edwarde
of
noble
memorie
in
his
tyme
/
had
to
answere
so
many
warres
/
what
in
Fraunce
Bretayne
/
Gascone
/
and
Scotlande
/
so
that
his
people
were
deuyded
in
dyuers
places
/
&
sore
occupyed
/
wherfore
he
coude
nat
sende
no
great
nombre
in
to
Irelande
.
But
whan
the
Irysshmen
sawe
the
great
nombre
of
men
of
warre
that
kyng
Rycharde
hadde
in
Irelande
this
laste
iourney
/
The
yrisshmen
aduysed
them selfe
and
came
to
obeysaunce
.
And
in
dede
/
of
olde
tyme
there
was
a
kyng
in
Englande
named
Edwarde
/
who
is
a
saynt
and
canonysed
/
and
honoured
through
all
this
realme
.
In
his
tyme
he
subdued
the
Danes
/
&
disconfyted
them
by
batayle
on
the
See
thre
tymes
.
And
this
saint
Edwarde
kyng
of
Englande
/
lorde
of
Irelande
and
of
Acquitayn
the
yrisshmen
loued
and
dredde
hym
moche
more
/
than
any
other
kyng
of
Englande
that
had
been
before
.
And
therfore
our
souerayne
lorde
kyng
Richarde
/
this
yere
past
/
whan
he
was
in
Irelande
/
in
all
his
armories
and
deuyses
/
he
lefte
the
beryng
of
the
armes
of
Englande
/
as
the
lybardes
&
flour
delyces
quarterly
/
and
bare
the
armes
of
this
saynt
Edwarde
/
that
is
a
crosse
patent
golde
and
goules
with
four
white
martenettes
in
the
felde
/
wherof
it
was
said
/
the
yrisshmen
were
well
pleased
/
and
the
soner
they
enclyned
to
hym
/
For
of
trouthe
/
the
predecessours
of
these
four
kynges
obeyed
with
faithe
and
homage
to
the
sayd
kyng
Edwarde
/
and
they
repute
kynge
Richarde
a
good
man
and
of
good
conscience
and
so
they
haue
done
to
hym
faithe
&
homage
/
as
they
ought
to
do
:
and
in
like
maner
as
their
predecessours
sometyme
dyde
to
saynt
Edwarde
.
Thus
I
haue
shewed
you
the
maner
how
the
kyng
our
souerayne
lorde
hath
this
yere
accomplysshed
and
furnysshed
his
voyage
in
Ireland
:
put
it
in
your
memoriall
/
to
the
entent
/
that
whan
ye
shall
retourne
in
to
your
owne
countrey
/
ye
may
write
it
in
your
cronicle
/
with
many
other
hystories
that
depende
to
the
same
matter
.
Than
I
thanked
hym
/
and
sayd
it
shulde
be
done
.
So
I
toke
leaue
of
hym
.
Than
I
mette
with
Marche
the
heraulde
/
and
I
demaunded
of
hym
what
armes
this
Henry
Christell
bare
/
and
I
shewed
the
heraulde
/
howe
this
sir
Henry
had
shewed
me
the
maner
of
the
kynges
torney
in
Irelande
/
and
the
state
of
the
foure
kynges
/
who
had
ben
(
as
he
sayd
)
in
his
gouernyng
/
more
than
fyftene
dayes
at
Duuelyn
.
The
heraulde
answered
me
and
sayd
.
Sir
/
he
beareth
in
his
armes
Syluer
/
a
cheuerne
goules
/
thre
besans
goules
.
All
these
thyngꝭ
I
dyde
putte
in
writynge
/
bycause
I
wolde
nat
forgette
them
.
THus
I
taryed
in
the
kynge
of
Englandes
courte
/
as
longe
as
it
pleased
me
/
nat
always
in
one
place
/
for
the
kynge
often
tymes
remoued
/
to
Eltham
/
to
Ledes
/
to
Kyngstone
/
to
Shene
/
to
Charsey
/
or
to
Wyndsore
/
aboute
the
marchesse
of
London
.
And
I
was
enformed
of
a
trouthe
that
the
kyng
wrote
to
his
vncle
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
for
they
of
Acquitayne
spedde
so
in
their
busynesse
/
that
their
countrey
abode
styll
to
the
crowne
of
Englande
.
Thanne
it
was
concluded
by
generall
counsayle
of
Englande
/
that
the
gyfte
that
the
kynge
hadde
gyuen
to
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
must
nedes
abyde
styll
as
his
owne
:
howe
be
it
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
wolde
that
his
brother
myght
haue
enioyed
the
kynges
gyfte
/
but
his
saying
coulde
nat
be
herde
in
that
case
/
For
they
of
the
Realme
of
Englande
(
bycause
of
doutes
and
casualtyes
in
tyme
to
come
)
herde
well
the
wordes
of
theym
of
Burdeaux
and
of
Bayone
.
And
consydred
well
/
that
yf
the
herytage
of
Acquitaygne
were
putte
fro
the
Crowne
of
Englande
/
it
shulde
be
in
tyme
to
come
a
great
preiudice
to
the
realme
/
whiche
they
wolde
in
no
wise
shulde
fortune
/
for
alwayes
Burdeux
&
Bayon
/
and
the
fronters
and
marches
of
Gascon
/
had
kept
&
augmented
greatly
/
the
honour
of
the
realme
of
Englande
.
These
thyngꝭ
were
well
consydred
of
the
wyse
men
of
the
kynges
counsayle
/
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
absent
/
for
before
hym
no
man
durst
speke
.
so
the
mater
abode
in
this
case
.
¶
We
shall
leaue

this
matter

THese

rode
fro
Calais
to
Amyence
and
to
Clermount
in
Beauuosyn

to
Parys

and
in

they

by
the

of

They
were
lodged
about
that
crosse
of
Tyrouer
:
They
were

hundred

The

was

And
the

they

These

For
the

had
great
marueyle
of
the
requestes
of
the
Englysshe

And
that
the

wolde
marry

/
seynge
that

had
ben

And
some

gyue

Thanne
he
sayd
to
the
kyng
and
to
his
vncles
.
My
lordes
and
maysters
.
A
man
shulde
entre
in
at
the
ryght
dore
in
to
a
house
.
It
semeth
that
kyng
Richarde
of
Englande
wolde
nothyng
to
you
nor
to
the
realme
/
but
loue
and
all
fauour

seynge
that
by
reason
of

/
he

Two

and
his

mette
toguyder
at
Amyence
and
at
Balyngham
/
to
treate
for
a
peace
/
&
yet
they
coulde
neuer
take
no
good
conclusyon
/
but
on
the
state
of
a
truce
.
And
sir
/
it
is
well
knowen
/
that
Thomas
duke
of
Gloucestre
kyng
Richardes
vncle
/
is
of
a
contrary
opinyon
/
against
the
king
and
his
other
two
vncles
/
the
dukes
of
Lancastre
&
of
yorke
.
The
kyng
nor

nat
make
hym
agre
wyllingly
to
haue

/
howe
be

his
puissaunce
canne

Therfore

and
refuce
nat
this
treatie
/
and
let
these

haue
suche

Than
the
kyng
and
his
vncles
agreed
therto
/
and
specially
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
/
for
he
was
so
sore
charged
by
reason
of
the
warres
/
that
gladly
he
wolde
haue
peace
and
the
princypall
cause
was
/
bycause
of
Flaunders
/
wherof
he
claymed
to
be
lorde
by
reason
of
his
wyfe
/
bycause
that
countrey
marched
vpon
Englande
.
And
also
the
hertes
of
the
Flemynges
were
rather
Englysshe
than
Frenche
/
bycause
of
the
entrecourse
of
marchaundyse
/
bytwene
England
&
Flaunders
by
See
and
by
lande
.
THan
it
was
concluded
by

kynges
counsayle
/
that
there
shulde
be
as
good
there
made
to
the
Englysshmen

And
whether

dissymulacyon
or
otherwyse
/
the

were
determyned
to
make
a
good

a
swere
aunswere
to
the
englisshe

/
and
to
put
them
in
hope
that
the

shulde
haue

.
The
quene
and
her

laye
at
the

of

Powleꝭ
and
where
as
the
Englysshe
lordes
desyred
to

theym
/
it
was
graunted
to
them
/
and
specyally
to
se
her
/
for

was
.
than
it
was
shewed

that
they
muste
be
content
howe
so
euer
they
founde
her
/
for
they
sayde
she
was
but
a
yonge
chylde
of
eyght
yere
of
age
/
wherfore
they
sayd
/
there
coulde
nat
be
in
her
no
great
wysdome
nor
prudence
/
howe
be
it
she
was
indoctryned
well
ynough
/
and
that
the
lordes
founde
well
/
whan
they
sawe
her
.
The
Erle
Marshall
beynge
on

sayde
to
her
.
Fayre
lady
/
by
the
grace
of
god
ye
shall

.
Than
aunswered

well
aduysedly

without

Syr

and
my

my

that
I

/
I
shall
be

/
for

Than
she
toke

and
ledde

who
had

The

pleased
greatly
the

amonge
them selfe
/
that
she
was
lykely
to

of

.
Thus
whan
these

of
Englande
had
ben

Parys
a
twenty
dayes
/
and
their
costes
and
charges
payed
for
by
the
frenche

/
a
reasonable
aunswere
was
gyuen

/
so
that
they
were
put
in
great
hope
to
bringe
aboute
that
they
came
for
/
howe
be
it
the
frenche
men
sayd
/
it
coulde
nat
be
doone
shortly
/
bycause
the
lady
was
so
yonge
/
and
also
she
was
fyansed
to
the
duke
of
Bretayns
eldest
sonne
/
wherfore
they
sayd
they
must
treat
to
breke
that
promesse
/
or
they
coude
procede
any

mater
/
and
thervpon
the

And
whan

Than

Englande
to
sende
agayne
in
to
Fraunce
whome
it
shulde
please
hym
/
and
they
shulde
be

.
With
this
aunswere
the
englysshe
men
were
contented
and
toke
leaue
of
the
quene
and
of
her
doughter
/
and

and
of
all

and
departed
fro
Paris
and
toke
the
same
way
they
came
and
so
retourned
to
Calays
/
and
than
in
to
Englande
.
and
the
two
erles
rode
in
post
before
their
company
/
to
bringe
tydynges
to
the
kyng
▪
they
rode
fro

sore
in

The

was
ryght

howe
they

There

that

The
dukes
of
Berrey
and
Orlyance
were
of
the
same
opynion
/
and
dyuers
other

The

with
this
Robert
the

/
he
beleued
this

to

.
Than
the

wrote
agayne
to
the
duke
of
Lancastre
and
to
the
erle
of
Salysbury
/
that
if
it
myght
be
by

their

sayde
surely
he
thought
that

endured
/
and
that

.
And
ye
haue
herd

/
and
how
the
lordes
departed
one
fro
another
/
and
howe
the

taken
to

yere
.
This
was
the
entent
of
the
lordes
of
the
englyssh
party
/
except
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
/
for
he
thought
whan
so
euer
he
came
in
to
Englande
/
neuer
to
agree
to
any
peace
bytwene
Fraunce
and
Englande

He
dyssimuled
as
moche
as
he
might
/
to
th
entent
to
please
the
king
and
his
brother
of
Lancastre
.
Thus
by
this
meanes
Roberte
le
Hermyte
came
to
knowledge
.
ANd
as
ye
haue
herde
here
before
/
how
the

of
Rutlande
/
th
erle
Marshall
/

/
and
brought
the
kynge
good
tydynges
/
so
that
the
kynge
was
well
pleased
/
as
ye
haue
herde
before
.
Than
Mychelmas
came
/
and
the
generall
counsayle
began
/
suche
as
englysshe
men
call
the
terme
/
wherin
all

and
at
the
begynnynge
of

the

of

returned
out

in

and
had
nat
ben
receyued
there
/
as
he
thought
he
shulde

been
(
as

)
So
whan
the
duke
of
Lancastre
was
retourned
/
the

good
chere
.
Tydinges
anone
came

thought
that
the
lordes
of

Than
this
Robert
the

was
warned
to

Englande
in

/
wherof

So

Thus

he
was
well

and
specyally
of

Than
he
delyuered
his

/
whiche
were
redde

and
the
other

.
The

This

that
the

of
Gloucestre
was
a

dyslymulynge
prince

and
contrary

all

the
daye
that
the

was
made
and
sealed
at
Calays
by
our
predecessours
/
and
nowe
warres
haue
been
a
game
newly
renewed
bytwene
your
men
and
ours
/
I
thynke
surely
through
faulte
on
bothe
parties
/
for
whan
the
prince
of
Wales
duke
of
Acquytayne
was
retourned
out
of
Spayne
in
to
Acquytayne
/
there
were
a
certayne
maner
of
people
callyng
themselfe
companyons
/
wherof
the
moste
partye
were
englysshe
men
and
gascons
/
holdynge
of
the
kynge
of
Englande
and
of
the
prince
of
Wales
.
These
people
assembled
them
togyther
and
entred
in
to
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
without
any
tytell
of
reason
/
wherby
ensued
mortall
&
eruell
warre
greater
than
was
before
.
These
companyons
called
the
realme
of
Fraunce
their
chambre
/
they
were
so
set
to
do
yuell
dedes
/
that
they
coude
nat
be
resysted

And
whan
the
realme
of
Fraunce
sawe
and
felte
them
so
harmed
by
this
people
/
and
sawe
well
the
lengar
they
contynewed
the
more
they
multyplyed
&
more
hurte
they
dyd
.
than
kyng
Charles
of
Fraunce
/
sonne
to

was
counsayled
by
his
subgiettes
to
resyst

subdue
suche

outher

and
many
great
barons
of
Gascoyne
came
to
the
frenche

suche
as
said
they
were
sore
ouerlayde
with
their

the

whiche
they
shewed
to
the
frenche
kynge
they
might
nat
nor
Wolde
nat
suffre
no
lenger
/
and
so
they
beganne
the
warre
bycause
of
their
resorte
to
the
prince
of
Wales
.
Than
this
kynge
Charles
by
counsayle
of
them
and
of
his
subgiettes
/
enhardyed
himselfe
to
the
warre
with
these
barones
of
Gascoyn
/
for
to
mete

these
companyons

And
in
this
newe
warre
many

retourned

great
oppression
that
the

consented
to
be
done
by
his
commyssioners

Thus
the

was
renewed

wherby
many
great
myschyefes
haue
fallen

to

Howe
knowe
you
that
quod
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
?
Syr
quod
Robert
/
all
that
I
say
cometh
by
dyuyne
inspyracyon
/
and
by
a
vysione
that
came
to
me
vpon
the
see
/
as
I
retourned
fro
Baruch●
a
porte
in
Surey
/
besyde
the
isle
of
Rodes
.
Than
he
declared
all
his
hole
vysion
/
the
rather
therby
to
moue
the
dukes
herte
to
pytie
and
reason
/
but
this
duke
was
herde
herted
agaynst
the
peace
and
kept
styll
his
opynion
/
and
by
his
wordes
condempned
and
dispysed
greatly
the
frenche
men
/
for
all
that
euer
Robert
the
Hermyte
coude
say
.
but
bycause
that
this
Robert
was
a
straunger
/
and
shewed
by
his
wordes
and
werkes
that
he
wolde
all
were
well
/
and
also
bycause
the
duke
sawe
that
the
kyng
his
nephue
enclyned
to
haue
peace
/
he
dyssymuled
and
spake
fayre
/
what
so
euer
his
herte
thought
.
Two
dayes
this
Robert
taryed
at
plasshey
with
the
duke
and
had
good
chere
/
and
the
thyrde
day
departed

retourned
to
London

where
the

made
hym
good

for
loue
that
the

kyng
had
sent
him
thyder

and
bycause
he
was
wyse
and
eloquent
/
and
of
swete
wordes
and
honest

It
is
nat
to
be
doubted
/
but
that
the
kynge
demaunded
of
hym
howe
he
founde
his
vncle
the
duke
of
Glocestre
.
And
Robert
answered
him
well
to
the
poynte
.
The
kyng
knewe
well
his
vncle
of
Gloucestre
enclyned
rather
to
warre
than
to
peace
/
wherfore
he
fauoured
moche
better
his
other
two
vncles
dukes
of
Lancastre
and
yorke
.
whan
Robert
the

he
toke

at

.
The
kynge
caused
hym
to
be
conueyed
to
Douer

and
there
passed
ouer
in
to
Fraunce

and
he

YE
haue
herde
here
before
howe
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuer
and
sir
Iohan
le
Mercyer
/
were
in
ieoperdy
of
their
lyues
/
and
remoued
fro
prison
to
prison
/
&
at
laste
delyuered
to
the
prouost
of
the
Chatelet
of
Parys
/
and
were
at
the
poynte
to
lose
their
lyues
and
all
for
hate
&
enuye
that
the
dukes
of
Berrey
and
Burgoyne
and
their
counsayle
had
to
them
.
They
were
in
this
daunger
more
than
two
yere
.
The
kyng
socoured
them
/
for
always
he
stopped
the
execusion
/
and
that
the
dukes
of
Berrey
&
Burgoyne
sawe
well
/
and
also
they
perceyued
that
the
duke
of
Orlyaunce
ayded
them
as
moche
as
he
might
/
also
the
duches
of
Berrey
was
a
good
meane
for
them
/
and
specially
for
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuer
/
and
also
the
one
coulde
nat
be
condempned
without
the
other
/
for
they
were
accused
all
for
one
cause
.
The
prayers
of
good
folkes
and
their
ryght
togyther
ayded
theym
.
Than
it
was
regarded
by
many
of
the
high
barones
of
Fraunce
who
had
pytie
on
them
/
and
sayd
they
had
suffred
prisonement
ouerlonge
/
and
that
it
was
tyme
to
shewe
them
grace
/
for
this
Iohan
le
Mercyer
had
so
moche
wept
in
prison
/
that
his
syght
was
sore
decayed
/
so
that
he
coude
scant
se
/
the
brute
ranne
through
the
realme
that
he
was
blynd
.
Than
at
last
they
had
sentence
gyuen
them
of
grace
by
the
kynge
/
and
there
the
lorde
de
la
Ryuer
was
restored
agayne
to
all
his
landes
and
castels
/
as
the
fayre
castell
of
Aniou
/
but
he
was
charged
on
payne
of
his
lyfe
that
whan
he
was
ones
in
his
castell
of
Aniowe
/
that
he
shuld
neuer
after
repasse
the
ryuer
of
Sayne
without
he
were
commaunded
by
the
kynges
owne
mouthe
.
And
syr
Iohan
le
Mercyer
to
retourne
to
Pounte
de
Nonnon
/
in
to
his
fayre
house
in
Laonnoys
/
and
he
nat
to
repasse
the
ryuer
of
Oyse
/
of
Marne
/
nor
of
Seyne
/
without
he
were
in
lykewyse
called
by
the
kynges
owne
mouth
.
Thus
they
bounde
them selfe
to
take
this
prisonment
/
and
thought
they
had
a
great
grace
to
scape
so
well
/
&
were
ryght
ioyouse
whan
they
were
delyuered
fro
the
Chatelet
.
They
trusted
whan
they
came
out
of
prison
/
to
haue
spoken
with
the
kynge
/
and
to
haue
thanked
hym
of
his
grace
/
but
they
coulde
nat
be
suffred
/
but
were
commaunded
to
auoyde
out
of
Parys
and
to
resorte
thyder
as
they
were
commaunded
.
Thus
they
were
delyuered
wherof
their
frendes
had
great
ioy
.

He

Thanne

yet
he
thought
in

to
proue
the

or
he
aduentured

for

by
folly
.
Than

The

I

Than

/
Whan

Than
the

&
sayd

He

Thus

THeir

THe

Paris
/
quene
Iane
duches
of
Aniowe
/
who
wrote
her selfe
quene
of
Napoles
and
of
Iherusalem
was
at
Parys
and
pursued
dylygently
her
busynesse
.
She
was
a
lady
of
great
corage
/
she
pleted
in
parlyament
for
two
causes
.
The
fyrst
was
for
the
herytage
of
the
countie
of
Roussey
agaynst
the
Erle
of
Brayne
/
for
Loys
the
duke
of
Aniou
her
lorde
&
husbande
had
bought
it
and
payed
for
it
/
to
a
lady
that
was
countesse
of
Roussey
/
somtyme
wyfe
to
the
lorde
Loys
of
Namure
/
but
afterwarde
she
was
deuorsed
fro
hym
for
a
reasonable
cause
/
as
it
was
sayde
.
The
seconde
sute
this
quene
had
was
agaynst
syr
Peter
of
Craon
/
she
demaunded
of
hym
the
some
of
a
hundred
thousande
frankes
/
whiche
she
was
redy
to
proue
that
he
had
receyued
it
in
the
name
of
his
lord
and
mayster
/
Loys
kyng
of
Napoles
/
Cysyll
/
and
Iherusalem
her
husbande
/
whiche
money
was
delyuered
hym
to
haue
payed
in
to
Powell
/
and
or
it
was
payed
he
herde
howe
his
sayd
mayster
my
husbande
was
deed
.
Than
he
iourneyed
no
further
/
but
returned
agayne
in
to
Fraunce
/
and
kept
styll
the
sayd
some
of
money
to
his
owne
profyte
/
and
neuer
made
acompte
to
the
sayde
quene
therof
/
nor
to
her
chyldren
Loys
and
Charles
/
but
spente
and
wasted
the
money
in
pride
and
bobbans
.
The
quene
layde
to
his
charge
that
for
faute
of
payment
of
the
sayd
money
/
the
realme
of
Napoles
was
loste
and
conquered
by
Margarete
of
Duras
/
and
by
the
heyres
of
the
lorde
Charles
de
la
Paix
/
by
reason
that
suche
soudyours
as
her
husbande
had
to
mayntayne
his
warres
in
Puell
&
Calabre
/
were
nat
payed
their
wages
/
wherby
many
tourned
to
the
Erle
of
saynt
Seuyre
and
to
Margarete
of
Duras
/
and
other
departed
and
lefte
the
warres
.
All
these
causes
were
put
in
to
the
Parlyament
chambre
at
Parys
/
where
all
causes
were
preposed
/
shewed
and
demaunded
/
and
all
the
defences
and
aunsweres
herde
on
all
partyes
.
Their
plee
had
endured
the
space
of
thre
yeres
.
And
though
syr
Peter
of
Craon
were
absent
fro
the
parlyament
/
yet
his
aduocates
defended
his
cause
/
and
sayd
though
he
had
recyued
the
sayd
some
in
the
name
of
his
lorde

mayster
/
yet
his
mayster
was
as
moche

to
him
as
that
some
came
to

more
for
the
good
seruyce
that
he
had
done
to
him
.
This
plee
had
endured
so
longe
that
it
was
necessary
to
haue
a
conclusyon
/
and
the
lady
made
importunate
sewte
to
haue
iudgement
.
The
lordes
of
the
parlyament
consydred
all
thynges

and
sayd
they
wolde
gyue
no

/
without

syr

any
daunger
/
except
the
sute
that

.
So
he
was
clerely
dyscharged
of
all
other
charges
/
and
lordes
&
ladyes
made
hym
good
chere
/
I
wote

thus
he
was
agayne

The

/
to
whom
the
herytage
pertayned
thanked
greatly
the

Than
suche

Of

howe
the

of
Lancastre
was
greatly
to
dysprayse
/
to
mary
his
concubyne

for
by
reason
therof
she
shulde
be
the
seconde
person

howe
surely
they
wolde
nat
come
in
to
no
place
where
she
shulde
be
presente
/
and
more
ouer
they
sayde
/
it
shulde
be
a
great
shame
for

/
that
suche
a

shulde
go

they

The

ynough
/
for
he
was
euer
lyghtly
resydente
aboute
the

The
duke
of
Gloucestre
was
of

Thus

Thus

howe

had
great
desyre
to
seke

Their
departure

The

The

and
of

there
were
many
crosebowes
a

the
army
iourneyed
so

that
they

/
and
passed
ouer
in
shyppes
and

/
and
suche

as
they
had
ordeyned
for
that
purpose
.
It
was
eight

or
they
were
all
passed
ouer
/
and
as
they
passed
they
lodged
theym
/
euery
company
taryenge
for

.
This
ryuer
of
Dunce
departeth
the
realmes
of
Hungery
and
Turkey
a
sonder
.
WHan
the
christen
men
were
all
ouer
and
nothynge
taryed
behynde
/
and
were
in
the
fronters
of
Turkey
/
they
greatlye
reioysed
and
desyred
greatly
to
do
dedes
of
armes
.
There
they
toke
counsayle
and
determyned
to
go
and
ley
siege
to
a
towne
in
Turkey
called
Coniecte
.
And
as
they
ordayned
so
they
dyde
/
&
besieged
it
as
they
myght
well
do
/
for
it
stode
in
a
playne
countrey
/
and
a
ryuer
ioynynge
to
it
with
shyppes
theron
/
called
Necte
:
the
heed
commynge
out
of
Turkey
/
and
fallynge
in
to
the
see
at
the
ryuer
of
Dunce
.
The
ryuer
of
Dunce
is
a
great
Ryuer
of
thre
hundred
myles
in
length
/
fro
the
begynnynge
tyll
it
entre
in
to
the
See
.
Whiche
were
the
moost
profytable
ryuer
in
all
the
worlde
/
for
the
realme
of
Hungry
/
if
the
shyppes
that
be
theron
myght
issue
out
therof
in
to
the
See
/
but
they
can
nat
For
in
the
mouthe
therof
whan
they
shulde
issue
in
to
the
see
/
there
is
in
the
ryuer
a
mountayne
whiche
departeth
the
ryuer
in
two
ꝑtes
/
and
maketh
suche
brute
and
noyse
/
that
it
maye
well
be
herde
seuyn
myle
of
/
and
for
that
cause
there
is
no
shyppe
that
dare
aproche
nere
to
it
.
I
longe
by
this
ryuer
syde
there
be
fayre
medowes
and
pastures
/
wherby
all
the
countrey
is
well
serued
/
and
dyuers
vynes
/
whiche
in
seasone
make
good
wynes
/
whiche
the
Turkes
do
make
and
putte
in
to
Goot
skynnes
/
and
selleth
it
vnto
Christen
men
:
For
accordyng
to
their
lawe
/
they
dare
drinke
no
wyne
to
be
knowen
.
It
is
defended
them
on
payne
of
lyfe
.
But
they
eate
the
reysynges
/
and
they
haue
other
good
frutes
and
spyces
/
wherof
they
make
drinke
/
and
vse
greatly
to
drinke
Gootes
mylke
/
whiche
refressheth
theym
in
the
hote
season
.
Thus
the
kynge
of
Hungry
and
his
hoost
lodged
before
the
cytie
of
Coniecte
at
their
ease
and
pleasure
/
for
no
manne
troubled
their
siege
.
And
whan
they
came
before
the
Cytie
/
they
founde
the
frutes
rype
/
the
whiche
was
great
pleasure
to
them
.
They
made
to
this
Cytie
dyuers
assautes
/
and
they
within
defended
them selfe
/
trustyng
dayly
to
haue
ayde
and
socour
of
Lamorabaquy
their
lorde
/
to
reyse
the
siege
with
puyssaunce
.
But
he
dyde
nat
/
wherby
the
Cytie
was
taken
by
force
of
assaute
/
and
distroyed
with
great
slaughter
of
men
/
women
/
and
chyldren
.
For
the
christen
men
that
entred
hadde
no
mercy
nor
pytie
.
Whanne
this
Cytie
was
thus
wonne
/
the
kyng
of
Hungry
dislodged
and
wente
forwarde
in
to
Turkey
/
and
was
determyned
to
go
and
ley
siege
to
a
great
cytie
called
Nicopoly
.
and
as
they
rode
/
they
founde
in
their
waye
the
towne
of
Quayre
/
and
layde
siege
to
it
fyftene
dayes
or
it
was
won
/
but
finallye
it
was
won
by
assaute
/
&
clene
distroyed
.
And
so
passed
forthe
/
and
in
their
waye
they
founde
another
towne
and
a
stronge
castell
called
Brehappe
/
and
a
knyght
of
Turkey
was
lorde
therof
/
and
was
within
the
castell
to
defende
it
.
The
kyng
and
his
army
were
lodged
within
a
myle
where
was
a
fayre
ryuer
/
and
about
the
towne
there

There
the
erle
of
Neuers
was
made
knight
and
reysed
his
banner
/
and
with
hym
were
made
mo
than
thre
hundred
knyghtes
/
&
all
they
&
their
companies
went
before
Brehap
/
and
besieged
it
and
wan
the
towne
perforce
within
four
dayes
/
but
nat
the
castell
it
was
so
strong
.
The
lorde
of
Brehap
saued
moche
of
his
people
byforce
of
the
castell
/
who
was
called
Corbodas
/
a

&
he
had
other
thre
bretherne
/
one
named
Maladius
/
another
Balachius

&
the

Rufyn
.
After
this
towne
was
won
/
the
christen
men
were
before
the
castell
seuyn
dayes
and
made
dyuers
assautes
/
but
they
loste
more
than
they
wanne
.
The
foure
knyghtes
bretherne
that
were
within

Whan
the
Frenche

hadde
consydred
well
the

and
the

the
defence

/
They
sawe
well
thanne
they
loste
their

and
so
dislodged

for
they
had
knowledge
howe
the
kyng
of
Hungry
wolde
go
and
laye
siege
to
the
stronge
towne
of
Nicopolye
.
Thus
the
siege
before
Brehap
brake
vp
/
and
they
within
the
Castell
were
in
peace
but
the
towne
was
clene
brent
.
than
the
erle
of
Neuers
and
all
the
lordes
of
France
resorted
to
the
kynges
armye
/
ordring
them selfe
to

Whanne
Corbodas
of
Brehappe
sawe
the
siege
brokenne
vp
/
he
was
right
ioyfull

and
sayde
to

.
We
nede
no
more
to
fere
this
season
though
my
towne
be
brent
and
exiled
/
I
shall
right
well
recouer
it
agayne
/
but
of
one
thynge
I
maru●yle
greatly
.
and
that
is
●
that
I
can
here
no
newes
fro
my
lorde
the
kyng
Besant
/
called
Lamorabaquy
.
for
the
last
tyme
that
I
sawe

/
he

vnto
me
/
that
this
May
tyme

and
had
entencyon
to
passe
with
a

puyssaunce
the
brase
of
saynt
George
/
and
to
go

Hungry
to
fight

the
christen
men
/
and
so
he
●ent
worde
to
the
kyng
of
Hungry

and
thervpon

and
haue

do
distroye

for
there
is
no
resistence
made
against
them
/
&
they
thinke
surely
to
go
and
lay
siege
before
Nicopoly
.
The
cytie
is
stronge
ynoughe
to
resyst
the

a
longe
season

if

defended
&
kepte

We

TO
consydre
these
wordes
/
one
ought
greatly
to
marueyle
/
that
the
Lorde
Galeas
erle
of
Vertues
and
Duke
of
Myllayne
(
who
was
reputed
to
be
a
christen
man
/
baptysed
and
regenerate
after
the
Christen
Lawe
)
wolde
seke
or
requyre
loue
or
alyaunce
with
a
kynge
myscreant
/
out
of
our
lawe
and
faythe
/
or
to
sende
hym
gyftes
and
presentes
/
as
he
dyde
euery
yere
:
As
dogges
/
haukes
/
and
fyne
lynen
clothes
/
whiche
are
ryght
plesaunt
to
the
Sarazins
/
for
they
haue
none
but
that
cometh
fro
our
parties
.
Also
the
great
Turke
sent
to
hym
agayne
other
presentes
of
ryche
clothe
of
golde
and
precyous
stones
/
wherof
the
Sarazins
haue
great
plentie
.
But
in
those
dayes
the
erle
of
Vertues
duke
of
Myllayne
and
sir
Galeas
his
father
reygned
as
tyrantes
/
and
so
helde
their
signories
.
It
is
marueyle
to
thynke
of
their
dedes
/
and
fyrste
howe
they
entred
and
opteygned
the
signorie
of
Myllayne
.
So
it
was
there
were
thre
bretherne
/
the
lorde
Manfres
/
the
lorde
Galeas
/
and
the
lorde
Barnabo
.
They
hadde
an
vncle
who
was
archebysshoppe
of
Myllayne
.
And
so
it
fortuned
/
that
whan
the
lorde
Charles
of
Lusenbourge
kyng
of
Boesme
and
of
Almayne
&
emperour
of
Rome
/
who
reigned
after
kyng
Loyes
of
Bauyer
/
who
opteygned
to
the
Empyre
byforce
/
for
he
was
neuer
taken
as
Emperour
by
the
churche
/
but
excommunycate
and
a
cursed
by
pope
Innocent
/
who
reygned
as
thanne
.
For
this
Loyes
of
Bauyer
went
to
Rome
and
made
hymselfe
to
be
crowned
emperour
by
a
pope
and
.xii.
cardynalles
that
he
made
.
And
as
soone
as
he
was
crowned
/
he
made
the
Almayns
to
be
payed
their
wages
/
to
ouer
ryn
Rome
and
to
robbe
and
to
pyll
it
.
this
was
the
rewarde
that
the
romayns
had
for
receyuyng
of
hym
/
wherfore
he
dyed
excommunicat
and
in
that
sentence
.
The
pope
and
cardynalles
that
he
made
/
without
any
constreyn●
came
after
to
Auignon
/
and
submytted
them selfes
to
pope
Innocent
/
who
reigned
before
Vrbayne
the
fyfthe
/
and
there
were
assoyled
of
their
errours
.
¶
Nowe
to
purpose
howe
the
lordes
of
Myllayne
came
fyrst
to
that
signorie
/
I
shall
shewe
you
howe
.
SO
it
was
/
the
archebysshoppe
of
Myllayne
/
at
a
tyme
receyued
kynge
Charles
of
Boesme
emperour
/
in
to
the
cytie
of
Myllayne
nobly
and
tryumphantlye
/
after
the
Emperour
had
been
before
Axe

Chapell
/
and
had
accomplysshed
there
his
.xl.
dayes
/
accordyng
to
the
vsage
in
the
case
parteyning
/
and
for
the
great
chere
that
he
made
to
the
Emperour
/
and
for
a
hundred
thousande
ducates
that
he
lent
to
the
Emperour
.
He
made
the
bysshop
vycount
of
Myllayne
and
his
nephewes
after
hym
for
euer
/
to
holde
the
lande
and
signorie
of
Mylayne
free
at
his
wyll
/
vnto
the
tyme
that
the
Emperour
hadde
payde
agayne
at
one
tyme
the
sayd
some
of
a
hundred
thousande
ducates
.
And
so
after
the
bysshoppe
dyed
/
and
the
lorde
Manfres
his
nephue
/
by
the
accorde
of
the
Emperour
and
for
loue
of
his
vncle
/
was
receyued
in
to
the
signorie
of
Myllayne
.
than
his
two
bretherne
/
who
as
than
were
nat
very
riche
/
the
lorde
Galeas
and
the
lorde
Barnabo
/
counsayled
toguyder
&
determyned
to
reigne
/
and
to
holde
the
landes
of
Lombardy
bytwene
them
/
and
to
conioyne
them
by
mariage
to
some
great
lordes
to
maynteyne
their
estates
/
and
to
cause
men
to
feare
their
displeasures
.
And
so
they
caused
their
brother
Māfrese
to
be
slayne
by
venyme
/
or
otherwyse
/
after
whose
dethe
they
reygned
puissauntly
byforce
and
polycy
.
All
their
dayes
they
lyued
in
good
accorde
toguyder
/
and
departed
the
cyties
of
Lombardy
bytwene
them
.
The
lorde
Galeas
hadde
tenne
/
bycause
he
was
the
eldest
and
the
lorde
Bernabo
nyne
.
And
the
cytie
of
Myllayne
was
gouerned
one
yere
by
the
one
brother
and
another
yere
by
the
other
brother
.
And
to
the
entent
to
reigne
puissauntly
/
they
sought
the
wayes
to
gader
great
rychesse
by
raysinge
vp
in
possyons
/
subsydies
/
and
gabelles
/
and
many
other
yuell
customes
/
wherby
they
gadered
great
store
of
golde
and
syluer
.
and
they
caused
their
townes
and
cyties
to
be
kepte
with
soudyours
straungers
/
as
Almaygnes
/
Frenche
men
/
Bretons
/
Englysshmen
/
and
of
all
other
nacyons
/
excepte
their
owne
countrey
men
/
for
they
hadde
no
trust
nor
affiaunce
in
them
/
for
feare
of
rebellyon
agaynst
them
.
and
these
soudyours
were
payed
fro
moneth
to
moneth
/
wherby
they
were
so
douted
and
fered
of
the
people
/
that
none
durste
displease
them
.
For
if
any
dyd
ryse
or
dyde
any
thyng
agaynst
them
/
there
was
cruell
vengeaunce
taken
vpon
them
.
They
distroyed
many
a
one
in
their
dayes
/
to
gyue
ensample
to
other
.
IN
all
their
signories
no
man
hadde
any
thynge
but
atte
their
pleasure
/
They
wolde
tayle
a
ryche
man
thre
or
foure
tymes
in
a
yere
.
They
sayd
that
lombardes
were
ouer
proude
and
presumptuous
/
in
their
richesse
/
wherfore
it
was
behouable
to
kepe
them
vnder
subiection
/
no
man
durst
saye
nay
to
any
thyng
that
they
commaunded
.
These
two
bretherne
maryed
them
hyghlye
/
and
bought
their
wyues
with
the
goodis
and
substaunce
of
their
people
.
The
lorde
Galeas
hadde
to
wyfe
the
suster
of
the
good
erle
of
Sauoye
/
named
Blaunche
/
&
payde
to
the
erle
for
her
a
hundred
thousande
ducates
.
The
lorde
Barnabo
maryed
hym
in
Almaygne
/
to
the
suster
of
the
duke
of
Bresnyche
/
and
payde
no
lesse
money
than
his
brother
dyd
.
These
two
bretherne
hadde
many
chyldren
/
and
maryed
them
highly
and
richelye
/
to
atteyne
therby
great
alyaunces
.
The
lorde
Galeas
had
a
sone
called
Galleas
/
and
as
than
the
father
vnderstode
that
whan
kynge
Iohan

Fraunce
was
come

and
they
of

wyst
nat
howe
to

Thanne
he
treated
with
the
Frenche
kynge
and
his
counsayle
to
haue
one
of
his
doughters
for
Galeas
his
sonne
.
The
kynge
and
his
counsayle
entended
to
this
treatie
/
bycause
they
knewe
well
this
lorde
Galeas
was
grounded
in
richesse
/
and
thus
he
bought
the
kyngis
doughter
for
sixe
hundred
thousande
frankes
/
whiche
were
tourned
in
payment
to
the
Kynge

The

thousaunde

And
the

bought
of

Guye

Thus

acorded

lyue
dayes
:
they
neuer
varyed

therfore
they

No

Pope

with

/
whiche
Iohan
Hacon
brought
them
out
of
Prouynce
in

Lombardy
/
and
made
there
great
warre
.
THan
at
last
dyed
this
lorde
Galeas
/
and
after
hym
reigned
his
sonne
erle

/
named
Galeas
in

and
at

he
gate

great
loue
in
Lombardy
/
and
or
/
dred
hymselfe
after
a
goodly
maner
and
like
a
wyse
man
.
He
put
downe
all
suche
yuell
customes
as
his
father
had
reysed
in
Lombardy
He
was
so
well
beloued
and
of
so
good
renome
that
euery
man
sayd
well
of
hym
/
but
at
laste
whanne
he
sawe
his
tyme
/
he
spytted
out
his
venyme
/
whiche
he
had
longe
borne
in
his
hert
.
For
he
made
on
a
day
in
the
feldes
a
great
busshement
/
wherby
the
lorde
Bernabo
his
vncle
was
taken
who
thought
none
yuell
/
nor
knewe
nat
but
that
he
was
welbeloued
/
and
in
great
fauour
with
his
nephue
.
And
at
his
takyng
it
was
sayd
to
hym
.
One
lorde
is
ynough
to

/
he
coude
haue
none
other
grace
/
for
it
laye
nat
in
hym
as
thanne
to
make
resystence
.
So
he
was
ledde
to
a
castell
/
and
there
his
nephue
caused
hym
to
dye
/
but
in
what
maner
I
can
nat
shewe
you
.
This
sir
Bernabo
had
two
fayre
chyldren
/
of
whom
the
Frenche
quene
was
doughter
/
to
one
of
his
doughters
whiche
was
wedded
to
the
duke
of
Osrtenaunt
of
Bauyere
.
This
Galeas
putte
in
prisone
all
his
vncles
chyldren
/
suche
as
he
coulde
gette
/
and
tooke
possessyon
of
all
his
vncles
seignories
/
and
ioyned
them
to
his
owne
/
&
so
reigned
in
great
puyssaunce
&
richesse
/
for
he
reysed
vp
suche
maters
/
wherby
he
gathered
toguyder
great
rychesse
:
As
Imposycions
/
gabels
/
subsydies
/
dysmes
/
and
all
other
extorcyons
/
wherby
he
was
moche
more
dreed
than
beloued
.
He
helde
the
errour
and
opynyon
of
his
Father
(
that
was
)
Howe
one
shulde
nother
honoure
nor

He
tooke
fro
abbeyes
and
priories
moche

and
toke

.
He
sayd
the

were

norisshed
with
good
wynes
and
delycious
metes
.
By
whiche
superfluyteis
(

He

And
so
(

make
them

with
egges
and
small

/
to
clere

These
lordes
in
their
dayes
lyued
lyke
popes
:
they
dyde
great
dispytes
in
their
tyme
to
men
of
holy
churche
:
They
sette
nothyng
by
the
popes
curse
/
and
specially
after
the
cisme
began
/
and
that
there
was
two
popes

that
the
one
cursed
the
other
assoyled

The
lordes
of
myllayne
dyde
but
mocke
at
their

/
and
so
dyd
many
other
lordes
through
the
worlde
.
The
doughter
of
this
lorde
Galeas
duke
of
Myllayne
was
duches
of
Orl
aunce
/
whose
condycions
were
lyke
to
her
fathers
and
nat
to
her
mothers
/
who
was
doughter
to
kyng
Iohan
of
Fraunce
.
This
lady
was
of
high
mynde
/
enuyous
and
couytous
/
on
the
delytes
&
state
of
this
worlde
.
Gladly
she
wolde
haue
sene
the
duke
her
husbande
to
haue
attaygned
to
the
crowne
of
Fraunce
/
she
had
nat

howe
.
A
generall
fame
and
sclaunder
ran
vpon
her
/
that
all
the
infyrmiteis
the
kyng
had
/
whiche
no
phisycion
coude
remedye
/
came
all
by
her
sortes
and
artes
/
and
the
chiefe
discouerynge
of
her
workes
/
wherby
she
was
had
in
great
suspecte
was
this
.
THis
duchesse
of
Orlyaunce
named
Valantyne
had
a
sonne
by
the
duke
her
husbande
/
a
fayre
chylde
of
the
age
of
the
Dolphyn
/
sonne
to
the
kynge
.
On
a
tyme
these
two
chyldren
were
playeng
toguyder
in
the
duchesse
of
Orlyaunce
chambre
/
and
sodaynly
there
was
caste
downe
an
apple
full
of
poyson
on
the
pauement
/
on
the
same
syde
that
the
dolphyn
was
on
/
to
th
entent
that
he
shulde
haue
taken
and
eaten
it
.
But
as
grace
was
he
dyd
nat
/
for
the
duches
sonne
ran
after
the
apple
and
toke
it
/
and
ete
therof
wherwith
he
was
poysoned
and
dyed
/
nothynge
coude
saue

.
And
suche
as
hadde
Charles
the
yong
dolphyn
to
kepe
toke
hym
thens
/
and
he
neuer
came
after
in
the
duches
chambre
.
Of
this
aduenture
great
brute
and
murmuracyon
ran
throughe
all
the
cytie
of
Parys
/
and
in
other
places
.
Thus
it
was
sayde
by
her
of
all
the
people
/
so
that
the
duke
her
husbande
parceyued
it
well
/
for

ranne
through
Parys
/
that
if
her

out

courte
/
they
wolde
fetche
her

and
cause
her
to

.
For
the
people
said
she
wolde
enpoyson
the
kyng
and
his
chyldren
/
and
that
she
hadde
enchaunted
the
kyng
/
for

in
all

wolde
nat

the

/
nor
none
other

but
all
onlye
this
duchesse
of
Orlyaunce
.
Vpon
whiche
sayeng
and
for
doute
therof
/
her
husbande
had
her
awaye
/
and
put
her
out
of
the
house
of
saynt
Poule
in
Parys
/
and
sente
her
to
a
castell
besyde
Parys
vpon
the
waye
of
Beauoyes
/
called
Asynyers
.
And
there
she
was
kepte
a
longe
season
/
and
neuer
wente
out
of
the
castell
/
and
at
last
she
was
sent
fro
thens
to
Newcastell
on
the
ryuer
of
Loyre
.
And
the
duke
of
Orlyaunce
had
great
displeasure
to
her
/
bycause
of
the
aduenture
of
the
dethe
of
his
son
/
but
by
reason
that
he
had
other
chyldren
by
her
/
somwhat
it
brake
his
displeasure
.
These
tidynges
came
to
Myllayne
/
and
the
lorde
Galeas
was
enfourmed
howe
his
doughter
was
in
trouble
and
in
great
daunger
/
wherof
he
was
sore
displeased
with
the
Frenche
kyng
and
his
counsayle
.
Than
he
sent
a
suffycient
messanger
/
as
sir
Iaquemont
of
Weryne
and
other
to
Parys
/
to
the
kyng
and
his
counsayle
/
in
excusyng
his
doughter
/
sayeng
that
if
any
persone
wolde
accuse
her
of
trayson
/
he
shulde
be
fought
with
all
at

in
that
quarell

Whan
these
messangers
came
to

the

was
in

helth
/
but
he
tooke
no
hede

those
messangers
/
nor
of
their
excuse
:
and
so
they
were
shortely
aunswered
nothyng
to
their
pleasure
.
So
they
retourned
in
to
Lombardy
/
and
declared
to
the
duke
of
Myllayne
all
that
they
had
sene
and
done
.
Than
the

was
in
gretter
displeasure

he
was
before
/
and
reputed
it
a
great
iniury
/
and
than
sent
his

And

The

came
to
the

the

Whan

sawe
the

they
were
ryght

wenynge
there
had

so
came
out

and
whan
the
crysten

sawe
tyme
they
turned
and
fled
/
and
made
the
turkes
to
chase
them
.
They
were
so
well
horsed
that
the
turkes
coulde
nat
ouertake

and
they
chased
so
longe
that
they
passed

Whan

the

cryed

so
dasshed

made

The

helde

whan
they
sawe
how
they
were
beset
before

behynde

dyd
put
them selfe
to
defence
as
well
as
they
myght

but
they
kept
none

And
whan
they
sawe

The
Frenche

dyd
quyte
them selfe
lyke
valyaunte

of

slewe
the

toke
none
to

happy
were
they
that
coulde

And
than
the
cristen

that
had
done
that

retourned

Than
tydynges
ran
ouer

the

Coucy
by
his

valyauntnesse
had
dyscomfyted

.xv.
thousande

Many
spake

therof

Ewe
praysed
nothing
his
dede
/
sayenge
howe
it
was
doone
by
pride

and
howe
that
he
had
put
the
crysten

(
and
specyally
his

in
great
aduenture

sayenge
that
with
an
handefull
of
men
he
fought
folysshely
with
the
route
of
twenty
thousande
turkes
/
he
shulde
rather
(
seynge
he
was
in

to
do
dedes
of

and
that
the

were

)
haue

Iohan
of
Burgoyne
/
that
he
myght
haue
had
the
renome
and
honour
of
that
enterprise
.
Besemynge
the
erle
of
Ewe
spake
those
wordes
by
enuy
/
that
he
had
to
the
lorde
of
Coucy
/
for
all
that
voyage
he
had
no
loue
to
him
/
bycause
he
sawe
howe
the
lorde
of
Coucy
had
the
loue
&
fauour
of
all
his
company
and
of
other
straungers
/
whiche
he
deserued
ryght

and
bare
in
his

floure
de
lyces

Thus
there
engendred
a

that
the
erle

wolde

Whan

the
Duke
of
Lancastre
demaunded
of
him
what
he
thought
of
that
voyage
in

Frese

He
aunswered
and
sayd
that
it
was
a
parylous
voyage
/
and
the
Frese
was
a
countrey
nat
lyghtly
to
be
wonne
/
sayenge
howe
in

there
had
been
dyuers
erles

Heynalte

that
haue
claymed
their
right

gone
thyder

always
lost
their

/
affyrmynge
howe
the

are
people
without
honour

haue
no
mercy
.
they
prayse
nor
loue
no
lorde
in
the
worlde
/
they
be
so
proude

and
also
their
countrey
is
stronge
/
for
they
be
enuyroned
with
the
see
/
and
closed
in
with
isses
/
rockes
/
and
marysshes
/
no
man
can
tell
howe
to
gouerne

but
them selfe
.
I
haue
ben
desyred
to
go
in
that
voyage
/
but
I
wyll
nat
/
and
I
counsayle
my
cosyn
your
sonne
the
erle
of
Derby
/
nat
to
entre
in
to
that
voyage
/
it
is
no
iourney
for
hym
.
I
thynke
my
fayre
brother
of
Ostrenant
wyll
go
/
for
he
hath
great
desyre
therto
/
and
wyll
haue
a
bande
of
haynowayes
with
hym
/
it
shall
be
an
aduenture
if
euer
they
retourne
.
Whiche
wordes
caused
the
Duke
of
Lancastre
to
thynke
that
his
sonne
shulde
nat
go
in
that
voyage
/
and
so
shewed
his
sonne
his
entente
/
and
badde
hym
delaye
that
mater
/
for
the
kynge
nor
he
wolde
nat
that
he
shulde

Thus
the
duke
of
Guerles
dyd
lette
the
ayde
that
the
erle
of
Haynalte
shulde
haue
had
of
the
erle
of
Derby
.
Many
thought
it
was
nat
well
counsayled
/
nor
yet
for
none
of
their
honours
.
The
duke
of
Guetles
all
his
lyfe
/
naturally
was
Enuyous
/
presumptuous
/
and
prounde
.
yet
for
all
that
Fierebrase
of
Vertayn
lette
nat
his
sute
to
gette
ayde
/
and
dyd
so
his
dyligence
that
he
gate
knightes
and
squyers
/
and
a
two
hundred
archers
.
But
the
erle
of
Derby
excused
himselfe
/
whiche
excuse
he
was
fayne
to
take
in
gree
/
and
sawe
well
that
his
wyll
was
good
to
go
/
if
the
kynge
and
his
father
had
nat
been
.
Than
the
kynge
for
the
auauncement
of
his
cosyns
of
Haynalte
made
to
be
ordeyned
in
the
ryuer
of
Thamyse
vesselles
and
shyppes
for
the
men
that
shulde
go
in

to
aryue

Encuse
a

In

THe
erle
of

lodged
at
London
/
and
often
tymes
went
to
Eltham
to

and

Th

This

These

Thus

Than

Syr
ye
do
wronge
to

thus
/
though
the

yet
for

Hath
nat

that

¶
Nowe
whyle
this
assemble
was
thus
made
in
Haynalte
/
it
were
to
be
demaunded
if
the
ladyes
and
gentle
women
and
other
/
were
ioyouse
of
this
iourney
?
We
ought
to
say
naye
/
for
than
they
sawe
their
fathers
/
their
bretherne
/
their
vncles
/
their
husbandes
/
and
their
louers
and
frendes
departe
to
that
peryllous
warre
.
for
some
of
them
knewe
well
/
howe
that
in
tyme
paste
the
haynoways
wente
with
their
lorde
in
to
Frese
/
and
neuer
retourned
agayne
/
wherfore
they
feared
leste
it
shulde
hap
so
than
to
these
/
as
it
dyd
on
their
predecessours
.
The
duchesse
of
Brabant
had
defended
all
men
in
the
countrey
of
Brabant
/
no
man
to
be
so
hardy
to
go
oute
of
the
countrey
in
that
iourney
.
The
ladyes
and
gentlewomen
of
Haynalt
desyred
often
tymes
their
frendes
and
louers
to
leaue
that
iourney
/
but
they
coulde
nat
lette
the
mater
/
howe
be
it
they
were
sore
displeased
in
their
myndes
with
the
basterde
of
Vertayne
Fierebrase
/
for
they
said
he
was
one
of
the
chyefe
setters
on
of
that
busynesse
.
Thus
after
that
the
duke
Aubert
and
Guillyam
his
sonne
had
herde
the
aunswere
of
his
men
of
Haynalte
/
than
he
went
in
to
zelande
/
shewynge
them
his
busynesse
.
and
they
assented
to
his
request
/
by
the
chiefe
settynge
on
of
the
lorde
de
la
Vere
/
and
syr
Floris
de
Boesell
/
Floris
/
Dabell
/
the
lorde
of
zenembrige
/
syr
Clays
de
Boysell
/
Phylyp
Corteen
and
dyuers
other
gentlemen
.
All
these
and
other
made
them selfes
redy
/
in
suche
wyse
that
it
apered
well
by
their
dylygence
/
that
they
had
great
desyre
to
auaunce
them selfe
to
that
iourney
.
IN
lyke
wyse
the
duke
and
his
sonne
went
in
to
Holande
and
made
there
lyke
requestes
to
the
lordes
and
good
townes
/
as
they
had
done
in
zelande
.
The
holanders
were
therof
ryght
ioyouse
/
for
of
all
men
they
hated
the
fresons
/
for
they
were
euer
at
warre
togyther
specyally
on
the
see
and
on
the
borders
of
their
countrey
/
and
therfore
the
lordes
of
Holande
/
suche
as
the
lorde
Tarterell
/
and
dyuers
other
noble
men
knyghtes
and
squyers
/
herynge
the
requestes
of
their
lordes
duke
Aubert
and
the
erle
of
Ostrenant
they
offered
themselfe
/
promysynge
comforte
and
ayde
to
the
best
of
their
powers
/
and
that
they
well
shewed
/
for
incontynent
they
made
them
redy
/
and
auaunced
forwarde
.
In
lyke
wise
dyd
the
men
of
the
good
townes
and
of
the
countrey
.
They
sent
forthe
with
these
lordes
a
great
nombre
of
crosbowes
and
morispykes
/
and
other
men
of
warre
.
So
daylye
men
asembled
at
the
towne
of
Encuise
/
and
shyppes
and
vesselles
came
thyder
/
in
suche
wyse
/
that
the
maryners
were
estemed
to
the
nombre
of
.xxx.
thousande
.
It
was
sayd
that
there
came
out
of
the
towne
of
Harle
.xii.
hundred
/
whiche
shyppes
were
well
prouyded
of
all
thynges
necessary
.
And
of
a
trouthe
/
if
the
ladyes
and
other
damoselles
were
soroufull
in
Heynalt
/
in
lykewise
so
were
they
of
Hollande
and
zelande
.
Sir
Danyell
of
Marebbed
and
Guillyam
of
Oruenbourge
they
durst
nat
apere
before
the
ladyes
&
gentylwomen
/
for
they
had
sore
sette
forwarde
the
busynesse
/
for
they
hadde
great
wyll
and
desyre
to
be
reuenged
of
the
Fresons
/
bicause
of
a
batayle
that
hadde
been
there
before
/
wherin
the
Erle
Wyllyam
was
pituouslye
slayne
/
and
lost
.xxxiii.
cotes
of
armes
of
his
lynage
/
wherfore
these
two
knyghtes
wolde
neuer
take
any
treson
to
mercy
nor
raunsome
.
So
within
a
certayne
space
euery
man
was
come
to
Encuise
.
Fyrst
came
the
Englysshe
men
and
than
the
henous
/
and
their
capyten
was
the
seneschall
of
Iumont
and
the
lorde
of
Comegynes
/
who
was
marshall
.
Than
came
hollanders
and
zelanders
.
The
frenche
men
came
nat
so
soone
.
So
they
taryed
a
.xi.
dayes
for
the
Frenche
men
/
in
whiche
season
there
fell
a
debate
bytwent
the
hollanders
&
the
Englysshe
men
/
and
if
the
erle
of
Ostrenaunt
had
nat
ben
/
all
the
Englysshmen
had
ben
slayne
.
Whiche
stryfe
was
apesed
&
than
the
frenchmen
came
.
Than
there
was
great
ioye
made
/
and
commaundement
gyuen
/
that
euery
man
shulde
entre
in
to
suche
shyppes
/
as
they
were
assygned
vnto
before
/
whiche
was
done
.
And
whan
they
were
all
shypped
they
hoysed
vp
sayles
and
sayled
forthe
.
the
wether
was
fayre
/
it
semed
as
it
was
disposed
to
do
them
pleasure
.
There
were
so
many
shippes
that
if
they
had
been
araynged
one
after
another
/
they
wolde
haue
stretched
fro
encuse
to
the
boundes
of
Condren
/
whiche
was
in
highe
Frese
/
where
they
purposed
to
arryue
(
as
they
dyde
)
whiche
was
.xii.
leages
by
water
/
but
they
sayled
a
front
right
ordinatly
.
¶
Nowe
wyll
we
leaue
spekyng
of
them
and
speke
of
the
Fresons
/
who
(
as
I
was
enformed
)
were
aduertysed
long
before
of
duke
Aubertes
commyng
/
with
great
puyssaunce
on

.
WHan
the
fresons
knewe
and
vnderstode
that
they
shulde
haue
warre
/
all
the
wyse
men
of
the
countre
assembled
toguyder
/
to
take
counsayle
and
aduyse
what
they
shulde
do
.
Whan
they
had
long
debated
the
mater
/
their
entencion
was
to
fyght
with
their
enemyes
/
as
soone
as
they
myght
knowe
that
they
were
entred
in
to
their
countrey
/
sayeng
howe
they
had
rather
dye
as
fre
Fresons
/
than
to
be
in
seruage
vnder
any
kynge
or
prince
/
or
vnder
subiectyon
.
And
therfore
they
sayd
/
to
dye
in
the
quarell
they
wolde
fight
with
their
enemyes
.
And
concluded
amonge
themselfes
/
to
take
no

to
raunsome
/
howe
great
soeuer
he
were
.
Amonge
them
there
was
one
man
farre
excedynge
in
greatnesse
aboue
all
other
.
He
was
hygher
than
any
other
man
in
that
countrey
by
the
heed
.
He
was
called
Iuye
Iouer
/
and
some
called
hym
the
great
Fresone
.
This
manne
was
greatly
commended
in
Pruce
/
in
Hungery
/
in
Turkey
/
in
Rodes
/
and
in
Cypres
.
He
hadde
done
many

Whanne

opynions
of
the
Fresons

howe
they
wolde

he
aunswered

sayde
.
¶
O

Though

And

They

Therfore
I

The

They

I
feare

for
as
I
am

they
be

the
nombre
of
an
hundred
thousande
armed
heedes
.
Whiche
was
of
a
trouthe
/
they
were
as
many
or
mo
.
To
his
wordes
consented
thre
other
knightes
of
the
Fresons
/
the
fyrst
named
sir
Fewe
of
Dorekerque
/
the
seconde
sir
Gerarde
of
Canym
/
and
the
thirde
sir
Tiny
of
Walturge
/
but
the
people
wolde
in
no
wyse
consente
to
that
deuyse
/
no
more
wolde
other
noble
men
called
the
Elyns
/
that
is
to
saye
/
the
gentylmen
or
iudges
of
the
causes
.
They
replyed
so
with
this
great
freson
/
that
he
was
concluded
with
them
/
that
as
soone
as
they
knewe
their
enemyes
entred
in
to
their
countre
/
they
shulde
go
and
fyght
with
them
.
They
abode
all
on
that
opinyon
/
and
so
made
them selfe
redy
.
But
to
saye
the
trouthe
/
they
were
but
poorelye
armed
.
Many
had
no
armure
/
but
their
cootes
of
wadmoll
/
and
course
grose
clothe
.
Some
armed
with
lether
/
and
some
with
rustye
mayle
:
and
some
there
were
ryght
well
armed
.
THus
they
armed
theym
/
and
whan
they
were
redy
they
wente
to
their
churches
and
toke
the
crosses
and
baners
/
and
made
thre
batayls
/
and
in
euery
batayle
ten
thousande
fyghting
men
/
&
came
to
a
narowe
passage
well
viked
/
nere
to
the
place
where
their
enemyes
shulde
lande
.
and
they
sawe
well
howe
their
enemyes
were
come
/
&
had
great
desyre
to
take
lande
/
whiche
was
on
saynt
Bartylmewes
daye
on
a
sonday
/
in
the
foresaid
yere
.
And
whan
the
Fresons
sawe
them
aproche
/
they
issued
out
vpon
the
dikes
a
sire
thousande
/
to
haue
lette
the
landynge
of
their
enemyes
.
Among
the
fresons
ther
was
a
woman
apparelled
all
in
blewe
/
who
all
in
a
rage
/
went
fro
the
fresons
and
came
nere
to
the
heynowes
/
within
the
shotte
of
a
bowe
.
Than
she
tourned
her
backe
towarde
the
hey
nowes
and
plucked
vp
her
clothes
and
shewed
her
bare
arse
/
cryeng
in
her
langage
.
sers
take
this
to
your
welcome
.
As
soone
as
they
sawe
the
leudnesse
of
this
woman
/
they
shot
at
her
arowes
and
quarels
/
so
that
she
was
stryken
i●●he
legges
and
loynes
.
The
arowes
came
flyeng
at
her
as
thycke
as
snowe
.
Than
some
lepte
out
of
the
shippes
in
to
the
water
/
and
ran
after
this
folysshe
woman
with
their
swerdes
and
ouertoke
her
/
and
hewed
her
in
to
small
peces
.
Than
euery
man
issued
out
of
their
vessels
/
and
so
came
agaynst
the
fresons
/
who
receyued
them
right
valyantly
and
putte
them
of
with
longe
pykes
&
longe
staues
bounde
with
yron
.
To
saye
the
trouthe
in
takyng
of
lande
there
was
many
dedes
of
armes
done
on
bothe
parties
/
&
many
slayne
and
sore
hurte
.
But
biforce
of
the
Englisshe
archers
and
cros
bowes
of
Heynaulte
/
Hollande
/
and
zelande
/
They
wanne
the
dyke
agaynst
the
fresons
/
and
vpon
that
dyke
they
araynged
their
baners
in
good
order
/
taryeng
for
their
company
/
their
reuke
was
more
than
halfe
a
myle
longe
.
Than
the
Fresons
that
were
putte
fro
the
dykes
came
to
their
company
/
who
were
mo
than
.xxx.
thousande
/
closed
toguyder
in
a
grounde
dyked
rounde
aboute
with
a
great
depe
dyke
/
and
it
was
nat
so
farre
of
/
but
they
myght
well
se
their
enemyes
/
wheee
they
were
raynged
on
the
fyrst
dyke
.
Thus
they
contynued
tyll
all
the
heynowayes
were
a
lande
/
and
all
their
baggage
/
and
certayne
tentes
reyred
vp
.
There
they
rested
them
that
sondaye
/
and
the
mondaye
aduisynge
the
Fresons
their
enemyes
/
In
whiche
two
dayes
dyuers
scrymisshes
were
made
/
and
on
the
Tuesday
bothe
parties
were
redy
.
Than
certayne
newe
knightes
were
made
/
and
it
was
ordayned
to
fight
with
the
fresons
.
Than
they
auauuced
forewarde
in
good
order
of
batayle
/
and
their
archers
before
them
and
amonge
them
/
&
than
sowned
trumpettes
and
clarions
/
and
so
came
a
fayre
pase
to
passe
ouer
the
dike
.
Than
the
fresons
came
to
defende
the
passage
/
and
the
archers
shotte
agaynst
them
fiersly
/
and
the
fresons
couered
them selfes
with
targes
/
and
with
the
erthe
of
the
dyke
that
was
bytwene
them
&
their
enemyes
:
Howe
be
it
they
were
so
nere
aproched
/
that
certayne
of
the
holanders
entred
in
to
the
dyke
and
made
bridges
with
speres
and
pykes
/
and
so
with
valyant
corage
began
to
enuade
the
fresons
/
who
defended
their
force
right
valyantly
/
and
gaue
suche
strokes
against
them
that
wolde
mount
vp
out
of
the
dyke
/
that
many
were
ouerthrowen
downe
agayne
:
But
the
Heynowayes
/
Frenche
men
/
Englysshe
men
/
Hollanders
/
and
zelanders
were
so
well
armed
/
that
the
fresons
coude
do
them
no
dommage
nor
hurt
/
but
cast
them
downe
to
the
grounde
.
There
were
suche
noble
dedes
done
and
atchyued
/
that
it
were
impossible
to
shewe
it
.
the
newe
made
knyghtes
dyde
nobly
their
deuoyre
/
&
the
Fresons
defended
marueylously
.
They
were
great
and
bygge
men
/
but
they
were
yuell
armed
:
many
were
barelegged
and
bare
foted
.
In
this
assaut
the
lorde
Lygne
/
the
seneshall
of
Heynault
/
and
the
lorde
Iumont
/
and
dyuers
other
/
as
they
wente
aboute
this
dyke
/
They
founde
awaye
wherby
they
passed
ouer
the
dyke
/
and
so
came
on
the
fresons
with
the
poyntes
of
their
speres
/
wherof
the
Fresons
were
sore
abasshed
/
so
that
dyuers
of
them
lepte
the
dyke
.
So
perforce
the
Fresons
were
fayne
to
opyn
and
sparcle
abrode
here
and
there
.
In
this
batayle
the
great
freson
was
slayne
and
the
other
began
to
flye
.
The
chase
was
horryble
and
cruell
/
for
none
was
taken
to
raunsome
/
and
specially
the
holanders
slewe
all
they
myght
attayne
vnto
/
In
so
moche
that
suche
as
were
taken
by
the
Heynowes
/
frenche
men
/
or
Englysshe
men
the
hollanders
slewe
them
in
their
handes
.
Amonge
the
hollanders
/
the
lorde
Wyllyam
of
Oruenbourge
and
his
two
sonnes
/
Iohn
and
Henry
(
who
were
made
knyghtes
the
same
mornyng
)
acquyted
themselfe
maruey
lously
well
/
and
slewe
many
Fresons
/
for
it
semed
well
by
them
/
that
they
loued
but
litell
the
fresons
.
Thus
finally
the
Fresons
were
discomfyted
/
and
the
moost
parte
slayne
in
the
felde
/
but
fewe
were
takenne
prisoners
/
and
caryed
to
Haye
in
Hollande
/
and
there
were
kepte
a
long
season
after
.
The
lorde
of
Cundren
(
who
was
lorde
of
that
countrey
/
where
the
felde
was
)
was
the
mondaye
before
yelden
to
the
duke
Aubert
and
his
two
sonnes
/
and
yet
for
all
that
they
were
in
the
felde
with
the
fresons
.
The
two
sonnes
were
longe
after
with
the
duke
.
After
this
disconfyture
they
entred
in
to
the
countrey
of
Condren
/
&
toke
townes
and
fortresses
/
howe
be
it
they
conquered
but
lytell
/
for
the
Fresons
dyde
them
great
dommage
by
preuy
encountrynges
.
And
whan
they
shulde
take
any
prisoners
/
they
wolde
neuer
yelde
/
but
fought
to
the
dethe
:
sayeng
they
had
rather
dye
free
Fresons
/
than
to
be
vnder
the
subiectyon
of
any
prince
or
lorde
.
If
any
prisoners
were
taken
/
there
coude
no
raunsome
be
gotten
for
them
/
for
their
frendes
wolde
nat
quyte
them
out
/
but
rather
suffre
them
to
dye
in
prisone
.
They
wolde
neuer
quyte
none
of
their
people
/
withoute
it
were
to
delyuer
man
for
man
.
And
if
they
sawe
that
there
were
none
of
their
people
in
prisone
/
they
wolde
slee
all
their
enemyes
&
take
no
prisoner
.
Thus
about
the
ende
of
.v.
wekes
/
and
that
the
heynous
and
other
had
taken
and
beaten
downe
certayne
townes
/
vyllages
/
and
fortresses
/
of
no
great
valure
.
The
leason
beganne
to
waxe
colde
marueylously
/
and
rayned
nerehande
euery
day
/
and
the
sees
full
of
tempestes
and
wyndes
.
The
duke
Aubert
and
his
sonne
/
consydringe
the
season
/
purposed
to
returne
in
to
base
Frese
/
fro
whens
they
came
/
and
so
in
to
Hollande
/
the
more
easy
to
passe
the
colde
wynter
.
So
they
departed
and
came
to
Encuyse
/
&
there
gaue
lycence
to
euery
man
to
departe
/
and
specially
to
the
straungers
/
and
payde
them
truely
their
wages
/
and
thanked
them
of
their
good
ayde
and
seruyce
.
Thus
brake
vp
the
iourney
of

WHan

thervpon
apoyntment

The

Calis
to
the
kyng
/
&
shewed
what
chere
they
had
/
and
what

These
newes
pleased
well
the
kyng
/
for
he
was
gladde
whan
he
herde
any
honour
spoken
of
the
Frenche
kyng
/
he
was
so
in
loue
with
hym
bycause
of
his
doughter
/
whome
he
trusted
to

his
Quene
.
Than
anone
after
the
Frenche
kyng
came

Omers
/
and
was
lodged
in
the
abbey
of
saynt
Bertyne

and
dislodged
all

before
/
and
had
the
duke
of

.
And
than
it
was
ordayned
that
the
dukes
of
Berrey
/
of
Burgoyne
/
and
of
Burbone
shulde
go
to
Calis
to
speke
with

SO
they

to
Calays
/
and
were
ioyouslye
receyued
/
&
had
as
good
chere
as
coulde
be
deuysed
.
These
thre
dukes
had
secrete
communycacion
with
the
kynge
and
his
counsayle
/
so
that
many
/
bothe
of
Fraunce
and
of
Englande
reputed
that
there
was
a
peace
concluded
bytwene
Fraunce
and
Englande
.
And
in
dede
it
was
nere
at
a
poynt
/
and
the
duke
of
Gloucester
agreed
well
therto
/
as
at
that
tyme
.
For
the
kyng
of
Englande
hadde
promysed
hym
/
if
he
wolde
agree
to
the
peace
/
to
gyue
his

thousande
nobles
/
so
that
by
reason
of
these
gyftes
/
the
duke
of
Gloucestours
hardnesse
was
well
aleyed
.
So
that
the
lordes
of
Fraunce
sawe
well
his
opinyons
were
nat
so
obstynate
as
they
were
before
/
for
they
founde

Whanne
euery
thynge
was
ordeygned

they
tooke
leaue
of

/
and
retourned
to
saynt
Omers
to
the
Frenche
kynge
/
and
shewed
howe
they
hadde
spedde
.
Than
the
Frenche
kyng
wente
to
the
bastyde
of
Arde
and
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
to
Mountoyre
/
and
the
duke
of
Bretaygne
to
the
towne
of
Esque
/
and
the
duke
of
Berrey
to
Balyngham
.
And
in
euery
parte
all
aboute
there
were
pyght
vp
Tentes
and
Pauilyons
/
and
all
the
countrey
full
of
people
/
what
of
Fraunce
and
of
Englande
.
The
kynge
of
Englande
came
to
Guysnes
and
the
duke
of
Lancastre
with
hym
/
and
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
to
Hammes
.
Thus
on
a
Fridaye
beyng
the

/
in

of
oure
lorde
god
/
a

hundred
fourscore

sixtene
/
about
tenne

The
two
Kynges
departed
oute
of
their
tentes
/
the
which
were
pyght
nat
farre
asondre
/
and
came
a
foote
the
one
to
the
other
and
met
at
a
certayne
place
that
was
apoynted
.
And
on
the
one
syde
there
was
araynged
four
hundred
knyghtes
of
Fraunce
/
armed
with
their
swerdes
in
their
handes
/
And
on
the
other
parte
foure
hundred
Englysshe
knyghtes
in
lyke
maner
.
So
the
two
kynges
passed
through
them
.
The
dukes
of
Lancastre
and
of
Gloucestre
ledde
the
Frenche
kynge
/
and
the
dukes
of
Berrey
and
of
Burgoyne
ledde
the
kynge
of
Englande
.
Thus
they
came
foreby
the
sayd
eight
hundred
knightes
.
And
whan
the
two
kynges
came
iust
toguyder
/
all
the
eyght
hundred
knyghtes
kneled
downe
to
the
grounde
/
and
many

Thus
the
two
kynges
mette
toguyder
bareheeded
/
and
a
lytell
enclyned
and
tooke
eche
other
by
the
handes
.
Than
the
Frenche
kynge
ledde
the
kynge
of
Englande
in
to
his
tente
/
whiche
was
noble
and
ryche
/
and
the
four
dukes
tooke
eche
other
by
the
handes
and
folowed
the
two
kynges
.
And
other
knyghtes
after
the
Frenche
men
on
the
one
syde
/
and
the
Englysshe
men
on
the
other
syde
:
And
so
they
stode
regardyng
eche
other
in
good

humble
maner
tyll
all
was
done
.
Thanne
it
was
ordayned

/
and
shulde

.
I
can
nat
tell

were
made
or
nat.
SO
the
two
kynges
hande
in
hande
entred
in
to
the
Frenche
kynges
tente
.
Than
the
foure
dukes
kneled

Than

In

The

And

The

He

had
cost

greatly
/
of
the

he
had
great

and
coulde
nat
byleue

Than
he

also
with
moche
payne
/
the
kynge
gate
of
these
whyte
gerfaucons
.
Thus
sir
Iohan
of
Castell
morant
departed
fro
Parys
with
his
presentes
and
charge
/
a
fyftene
dayes
after
that
sir
Iaques
of
Helley
was
departed
.
In
this
mean
season
the
kynge
of
Hungry
retourned
in
to
his
countre
/
wherof
all
his
people
were
right
ioyfull
for
they
loued
hym
/
and
so
came
&
conforted
hym
/
and
sayde
.
Sir
/
though
ye
haue
hadde
dommage
at
this
tyme
/
another
tyme
ye
shall
right
well
recouer
it
.
Thus
the
kynge
bare
his
dommage
as
well
as
he
myght
.
On
the
other
parte
/
Lamorabaquy
retourned
in
to
his
countre
/
&
came
to
a
towne
called
Burse
and
thyder
were
all
the
prisoners
brought
/
&
there
sette
vnder
sure
kepynge
.
They
were
nothyng
there
at
their
ease
.
The
heate
of
the
countrey
and
dyette
sore
chaunged
them
/
for
they
hadde
ben
vsed
before
to
swete
and
delycate
metes
and
drinkes
/
and
had
their
owne
cookes
and
offycers
that
dyde
prepare
their
meates
accordynge
to
their
dyettes
:
&
there
in
Turkey
they
were
sarued
all
contrarye
/
with
grose
meates
/
flesshe
yuell
sodden
and
dressed
.
They
had
spyces
ynough
/
&
bredde
made
of
mylke
/
clene
fro
the
nature
of
Fraunce
.
They
had
wyne
and
that
was
with
great
daunger
.
Thoughe
they
were
all
great
lordes
/
they
were
but
smally
regarded
there
.
The
turkes
had
as
lyue
they
had
been
sicke
as
hole
/
and
deed
as
a
lyue
.
they
wolde
they
had
ben
all
putte
to
execusyon
.
So
these
prisoners
conforted
eche
other
within
themselfe
for
they
sawe
none
other
remedy
.
so
some
of
them
their
nature
chaunged
and
fell
in
to
sickenesse
.
He
that
made
the
best
chere
and
countynaunce
was
the
Erle
of
Neuers
/
and
that
he
dyde
to
conforte
his
companyons
.
also
sir
Bouciquant
and
the
erle
of
Marche
and
sir
Henry
of
Bare
were
of
good
conforte
/
and
tooke
euery
thynge
paciently
/
Sayeng
that
the
honours
in
armes
nor
the
glorie
or
this
worlde
/
coude
nat
be
hadde
without
payne
/
and
somtyme
with
metyng
of
harde
aduentures
.
For
they
said
that
there
was
neuer
so
valyaunt
and
happy
/
that
had
alwayes
euery
thyng
as
they
wysshed
.
They
sayde
they
were
bounde
to
thanke
god
that
he
hadde
saued
their
lyues
/
consydringe
the
displeasure
that
Lamorabaquy
and
his
counsayle
were
in
/
for
the
losse
of
their
men
/
for
it
was
ones
determyned
that
we
shulde
all
generally
haue
been
putte
to
dethe
.
Than
Bouciquaunt
sayd
/
I
ought
aboue
all
other
to
thanke
god
of
my
lyfe
/
for
I
was
at
the
poynt
to
haue
been
hewen
all
to
peces
/
as
other
of
my
company
were
/
but
at
the
request
of
my
lorde
here
/
the
erle
of
Neuers
I
was
saued
.
This
aduenture
call
I
good
/
and
sithe
god
hath
delyuered
vs
fro
this
paryll
/
he
wyll
and
it
please
hym
delyuer
vs
fro
a
greatter
/
for
we
be
his
soudyers
/
&
for
his
sake
we
haue
this
payne
/
For
by
reason
that
sir
Iaques
of
Helley
is
gone
in
to
Fraunce
/
I
trust
within
a
yere
we
shall
haue
good
comforte
/
and
be
delyuered
.
The
matter
can
not
abyde
thus
.
The
Frenche
kyng
and
the
duke
of
Burgoyn
wyll
nat
forgette
vs
/
but
by
some
meanes
/
raunsomed
and
delyuered
.
THus
sir
Boucyquaunt
reconforted
hym selfe
/
and
tooke
euery
thyng
in
good
pacyence
/
but
the
lorde
Coucy
coude
take
no
conforte
/
whiche
was
marueyle
for
before
that
tyme
he
was
a
lorde
of
great
wysdome
and
of
great
coniorte
/
&
neuer
was
abasshed
.
but
beyng
thus
in
prison
in
Burse
in
Turkey
/
he
was
more
disconforted
than
any
other
/
and
in
more
malencoly
/
And
sayd
he
was
sure
he
shulde
neuer
retourne
in
to
Fraunce
.
Sir
Henry
of
Bare
conforted
hym
as
moche
as
he
myght
/
and
blamed
hym
of
his
disconforte
/
sayeng
howe
he
ought
to
gyue
conforte
to
all
other
.
Howe
be
it
the
same
sir
Henry
was
sore
abasshed
in
hym selfe
/
&
oftentymes
remembred
his
wyfe
and
wolde
wepe
pituously
.
And
in
lykewise
so
dyd
sir
Philyppe
of
Arthoise
erle
of
Ewe
and
constable
of
Fraunce
.
Sir
Guye
of
Tremoyle
was
of
good
conforte
/
and
so
was
the
erle
of
Marche
.
Lamorabaquy
was
content
/
somtyme
that
they
shulde
haue
some
pastyme
/
&
somtyme
he
wolde
go

and
se

and
iangle
and
bourde
with
them
right
graciously

and

Than

Herof

but

Whan

And
some

affyrmed

called
syr
Iohan
Laquyquay
/
chiefe
of
his
counsayle
(
as
it
was
knowen
after
)
he
sayde
to
his
lorde
.
Syr
the
fumes
and
pride
of
the
frenche
men
are
well
abated
/
by
reasone
of
their
iourney
in
to
Hungery
and
Turkey
.
they
be
so
full
of
pride
and
brages
that
they
canne
come
to
no
good
conclusion
of
any
enterprise
that
they
take
in
hande
.
That
is
trewe
quod
the
duke
/
and
that
apered
right
well
/
duryng
the
warre
in
the
dayes
of
the
kynge
my
father
/
and
of
my
brother
the
prince
of
Wales
/
for
as
than
they
coulde
neuer
atayne
to
any
iourney
agaynst
the
Englysshe
men
/
therfore
I
canne
nat
tell
why
we
shulde
haue
trewce
with
them
/
for
if
the
warre
were
open
/
and
by
reason
of
our
good
tytell
togyther
/
we
shulde
nowe
make
them
better
warre
than
euer
was
made
before
.
for
as
nowe
all
the
floure
of
chyualry
of
Fraunce
is
outher
taken
or
slayne
/
and
the
men
of
Englande
desyre
to
haue
warre
rather
than
peace
/
for
they
canne
better
lyue
in
warre
than
peace
/
for
in
lyenge
styll
is
none
aduauntage
.
and
I
swere
by
god
if
I
may
lyue
two
yere
in
good
helth
/
the
war●
shal
be
renewed
/
I
wyll
nother
spare
for
trewce
/
respyte
/
nor
assuraunce
/
for
in
tyme
paste
the
Frenche
men
haue
kept
no
promesse
with
vs
/
but
haue
falsely
and
craftely
taken
away
the
herytage
of
the
duchy
of
Acquytayn
/
whiche
was
gyuen
and
delyuered
by
agrement
of
good
treatie
of
peace
to
the
kynge
my
father
/
whiche
often
tymes
I
haue
shewed
to
the
counsayle
of
Fraunce
/
whan
we
met
and
comuned
togyther
in
the
fronter
of
the
marchesse
of
Calays
/
but
alwayes
they
florysshed
their
ententes
with
so
swete
wordes
/
that
myne
opynion
was
nat
regarded
nor
belyued
/
nouther
by
the
kynge
my
nephewe
nor
by
my
bretherne
/
but
if
there
were
a
good
heed
kynge
of
Englande
/
that
desyred
the
warre
as
well
as
I
do
/
and
wolde
put
to
his
payne
to
recouer
his
herytage
/
whiche
craftely
and
falsely
hath
been
taken
fro
hym
without
any
good
tytle
of
reasone
/
he
shulde
fynde
in
Englande
a
hundred
thousande
archers
/
and
syxe
thousande
men
of
armes
redy
aparelled
to
serue
him
and
to
passe
the
see
/
and
to
put
their
goodes
and
lyues
in
aduenture
in
his
seruyce
.
But
it
is
nat
so
/
there
is
no
suche
Kynge
in
Englande
as
nowe
that
loueth
any
dedes
of
armes
/
if
there
were
/
he
wolde
shewe
hym selfe
in
Fraunce
.
there
was
neuer
so
good
tyme
to
make
warre
in
Fraunce
as
now
/
for
who
soeuer
goeth
nowe
shal
be
fought
withall
/
whiche
is
all
the
desyre
that
englysshmen
haue
in
trust
of
wynnyng
/
as
they
had
in
tyme
paste
in
the
dayes
of
good
kynge
Edwarde
my
father
/
&
in
my
brothers
dayes
the
prince
of
Wales
.
I
am
the
yongest
of
all
the
bretherne
of
Englande
/
but
if
I
may
be
beleued
I
shall
be
the
fyrst
e
that
shall
renewe
the
warre
/
and
trust
to
recouer
the
wronges
that
the
frenchmen
haue
done
to
vs
/
and
dayly
do
/
and
all
by
the
symple
slouthfulnesse
that
is
a
monge
vs
/
and
specyally
our
heed
the
kynge
my
nephue
/
who
wyll
nowe
alye
hymselfe
by
maryage
to
the
frenche
kinges
doughter
/
this
is
no
token
that
he
wyll
make
warre
.
his
eyen
be
to
heuy
/
he
careth
for
nothyng
but
for
meate
and
drinke
/
and
reste
/
and
dalyenge
with
ladyes
and
damoselles
.
This
is
no
lyfe
for
men
of
warre
that
wyll
deserue
to
haue
honour
by
prowes
of
dedes
of
armes
.
yet
I
remembre
me
of
the
last
iourney
that
I
made
into
Fraunce
.
I
thynke
I
had
in
my
company
but
two
thou
sande
speares
and
eyght
thousande
archers
/
and
so
passed
the
see
/
and
entred
in
to
the
realme
of
Fraunce
fro
Calayesꝭ
and
so
wente
a
longe
in
to
the
realme
/
and
founde
none
to
with
stande
me
/
nor
none
that
durst
fyght
with
me
/
in
lyke
wyse
so
dyd
syr
Robert
Canoll
and
sir
Hugh
Caurell
/
and
Thomas
of
Graūtsome
/
and
syr
Phylyppe
Gyssarde
/
and
yet
they
had
nat
the
nombre
that
I
had
with
me
/
and
yet
they
were
before
Parys
and
demaunded
batayle
of
the
frenche
kynge
/
but
they
coulde
neuer
be
aunswered
/
nor
founde
any
person
that
sayd
any
thyng
to
them
/
and
so
they
rode
into
Bretayne
/
and
so
a
longe
through
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
fro
Calais
to
Burdeaux
/
without
hauynge
of
any
batayle
or
rencountre
.
but
I
thynke
surely
/
who
so
wolde
nowe
make
any
suche
iourney
they
shulde
be
fought
with
all
/
for
he
that
calleth
hym selfe
kynge
in
Fraunce
is
yonge
/
hote
/
and
of
great
corage
and
enterprise
/
he
wolde
surely
fight
/
what
ende
so
euer
fell
therof
/
and
that
is
the
thynge
we
desyre
/
for
we
loue
nothynge
so
well
as
to
haue
batayle
/
for
without
it
be
by
batayle
and
victory
vpon
the
frenche
men
(
who
be
ryche
)
els
we
shall
haue
no
recouery
/
but
suffre
with
the
losse
as
we
haue
done
euer
sythe
my
nephewe
was
kyng
of
Englande
.
This
thyng
can
nat
longe
endure
in
this
estate
/
but
at
laste
the
realme
of
Englande
shall
perceyue
the
mater
&
repente
it
/
for
the
kyng
taketh
and
shall
take
and
reyse
great
tayles
of
the
marchauntes
/
wherwith
they
be
nat
content
/
and
yet
they
can
nat
tell
where
the
good
becometh
.
Thus
the
kynge
enpouereth
the
realme
of
Englande
/
and
gyueth
to
one
and
other
largely
/
and
there
as
it
is
but
yuell
bestowed
/
and
his
people
vyeth
the
bargayne
/
whiche
shortely
wyll
growe
to
a
rebellyon
within
the
realme
/
for
the
people
begyn
to
clater
and
to
murmure
therat
/
sayeng
howe
they
wyll
no
lenger
suffre
nor
beare
it
/
he
sayeth
to
stoppe
the
peoples
rumure
that
the
trewce
ones
concluded
bytwene
him
&
Fraunce
/
that
than
he
wyll
make
a
voyage
in
to
Irelande
/
and
enploye
there
his
men
of
armes
and
archers
/
and
there
he
hath
ben
but
with
a
small
conquest
/
for
Irelande
is
no
lande
of
great
conquest
nor
profyte
/
the
people
they
are
but
rude
and
yuell
/
and
a
right
poore
countrey
and
inhabytable
/
and
looke
what
is
wonne
there
in

is
loste

Laquynay
Laquynay
quod
the
duke
/
all
that
I
haue
sayde
is
of
trouth
.
THus
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
deuysed
with
his
knyght
with
suche
wordes
and
other
/
as
it
was
well
knowen
after
.
He
hated
the
kynge
/
and
coulde
speke
no
good
worde
of
him
/
and
though
he
were
with
his
brother
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
as
one
of
the
greatest
rulers
of
the
Realme
/
he
toke
no
care
therof
.
And
whan
the
kyng
dyd
sende
for
him
he
wolde
come
at
his
pleasure
/
and
sometyme
nat
a
whyt
.
And
whan
he
came
to
the
kynge
/
he
wolde
be
the
laste
shulde
come
/
and
the
first
that
wolde
departe
/
and
in
counsayle
what
he
had
ones
sayd
of
his
opynion
/
he
wolde
haue
it
taken
and
accepted
/
els
he
wolde
be
displeased
/
and
somtyme
take
his
leaue
and
departe
to
his
maner
in
Essex
called
Plasshey
/
there
was
his
chiefe
abydynge
.
This
duke
was
a
great
prince
/
and
might
well
spende
by
yere
a
threscore
thousande
ducates
/
he
was
duke
of
Gloucestre
/
erle
of
Essex
and
of
Buckingham
and
constable
of
Englande
.
He
was
of
so
marueylous
condycyons
/
that
the
kynge
douted
hym
more
than
any
other
of
his
vncles
/
for
in
his
wordes
he
wolde
nat
spare
nor
forbeare
the
kynge
.
The
kynge
alwayes
was
humble
and
meke
to
hym
/
and
whatsoeuer
he
wolde
demaunde
the
kynge
wolde
graunte
it
hym
.
This
duke
had
caused
in
Englande
to
be
done
many
cruell
and
hasty
iugementes
/
for
he
had
caused
to
be
beheeded
withoute
tytell
of
any
good
reasone
that
noble
knyght
syr
Symon
Burle
/
and
dyuers
other
of
the
kynges
counsayle
.
and
chased
out
of
Englande
the
archebysshop
of
yorke
and
the
duke
of
Irelande
/
bycause
they
were
so
nygh
of
the
kinges
counsayle
/
and
layde
to
their
charge
that
they
had
counsayled
the
kynge
wronge
/
and
ledde
hym
as
they
lyst
/
and
had
spente
the
reuenewes
of
Englande
at
their
pleasures
.
This
duke
had
two
bretherne
/
the
duke
of
Lancastre
and
the
duke
of
yorke
.
These
two
were
euer
about
the
kynge
/
wherat
this
duke
of
Gloucestre
hadde
great
enuy
/
&
wolde
say
to
dyuers
/
as
to
suche
as
he
trusted
(
as
Robert
bysshop
of
London
and
to
other
/
whan
they
came
to
him
to
Plasshey
)
Frendes
/
my
two
bretherne
ouerchargeth
greatly
the
kynges
house
/
it
were
better
they
were
at
home
at
their
owne
houses
.
this
duke
by
subtyle
couerte
wayes
/
drewe
to
his
acorde
the
londoners
/
for
he
thought
if
he
might
be
sure
of
them
/
he
shulde
sone
haue
all
the
rest
of
the
realme
to
his
acorde
.
This
duke
had
a
nephue
/
sonne
to
the
doughter
of
his
elder
brother
/
called
Lyonell
duke
of
Clarence
/
whiche
doughter
was
maryed
into
Lombardy
to
the
sonne
of
syr
Galeas
duke
of
Myllayne
.
This
duke
Lyonell
dyed
in
the
cytie
of
Aste
in
Piemounte
.
So
this
duke
of
Gloucestre
wolde
gladly
haue
sene
his
nephue
sonne
to
the
doughter
of
the
duke
of
Clarence
/
called
Iohan
erle
of
Marche
/
to
haue
ben
kynge
of
Englande
/
and
to
haue
had
his
nephue
kynge
Rycharde
deposed
/
for
he
sayd
howe
the
kynge
was
nat
worthy
to
holde
nor
to
gouerne
the
realme
of
Englande
.
This
he
wolde
say
to
them
that
he
trusted
/
and
he
dyd
so
moch
that
he
caused
the
erle
of
Marche
to
come
to
his
house
/
and
than
and
there
he
dyscouered
to
hym
all
his
entent
and
secretnesse
and
sayde
/
howe
he
had
determyned
to
make
hym
kynge
of
Englande
/
and
kyng
Richarde
to
be
put
downe
and
his
wyfe
also
/
and
to
be
kept
in
prison
dutynge
their
lyues
/
and
so
he
desyred
effectuously
the
erle
to
accept
his
offre
and
good
wyll
/
sayenge
howe
he
wolde
do
the
beste
he
coulde
to
bringe
it
aboute
/
and
that
he
had
of
his
acorde
and
alyaunce
the
erle
of
Arundell
and
th
erle
of
Warwyke
/
and
dyuers
other
prelates
and
lordes
of
Englande
.
The
erle
of
Marche
was
sore
abasshed
/
whan
he
herde
the
duke
his
vncle
speke
suche
wordes
/
howe
be
it
lyke
a
yonge
man
he
dissymuled
the
mater
/
and
aunswered
wysely
/
to
th
entent
to
please
the
duke
/
and
said
howe
he
wold
be
glad
to
be
ruled
as
he
wolde
haue
hym
/
but
he
sayd
he
wolde
be
well
aduysed
or
he
accepted
suche
promisse
to
sone
/
and
wolde
take
therin
aduyse
and
delyberacyon
.
And
whan
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
sawe
the
maner
of
the
erle
/
than
he
desyred
him
to
kepe
the
mater
secrete
.
The
erle
answered
so
he
wolde
do
.
Than
th
erle
departed
as
sone
as
he
coude
and
so
wente
in
to
Irelande
to
his
herytage
/
and
after
he
wolde
neuer
entende
to
the
dukes
treatie
/
but
alwayes
excused
him selfe
wysely
/
yet
euer
he
kept
the
mater
secrete
/
for
he
sawe
well
the
conclusyon
shulde
nat

.
IT
was
sayd
howe
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
sought
all
the
wayes
he
coude
to
set
a
trouble
in
Englande
/
and
to
styrre
the
londoners
agaynst
the
kynge
.
So
it
was
the
same
yere
that
the
truce
was
made
bytwene
Englande
and
Fraunce
/
to
endure
for
thyrty
yere
/
and
that
the
kynge
was
retourned
agayne
in
to
Englande
with
his
yonge
wyfe
/
than
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
enfourmed
the
Londoners
and
sayd
.
Syrs
/
make
ye
a
request
to
the
kynge
and
it
shall
be
reasonable
/
desyre
that
seynge
he
hath
peace
with
his
enemyes
/
that
ye
may
be
franke
and
fre

all
subsydies
and
aydes
that
hath
ben
graunted
this
twenty
yere
past
/
affyrmyng
howe
they
were
nat
graunted
but
durynge
the
seasone
of
the
warre
/
for
ye
syrs
(
quod
the
duke
that
be
marchauntes
are
yuell
entreated
and
sore
oppressed
/
to

hundred

and
all
these
goodes
are
spent
in
ydlenesse
/
in
daunsynge
and
makynge
of

and
eatynge
and
drinkynge
/
and
all
ye
pay
for
/
wherby
ye
be
sore
traueyled
.
and
shewe
you
to
the
kynge
howe
ye
wolde
that
the
realme
of
Englande
shulde
be
gouerned
acordinge
to
the

and
ye
may
say
that
whan

redy
to
ayde
it

in
suche

Thus
by
the
settynge
on
of
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
/
the
Londoners
and
the
counsayles
of
dyuers
other

/
assembled
theym

and
on
a
day
came
to
Eltham
a
seuen
myle
fro
London
/
where
the
kyng
was

and
whan
they
came
before
the
Kynge
they
made
a
request
of
all
these
foresayd

and
wolde
that
it
shulde

And
whan
this
request
was
made
there
was
with
the
kynge
no

his
vncles
but
two
/
the
dukes

Than
the
kynge
charged
the
Duke
of
Lancastre
to
make

and
than

This
aunswere
pleased
many

for
there
were
some

were
of
the
opinyon
of
the

of

who
wolde
haue
had
a

the

apeased
them
with
fayre
swete
wordes
/
and
so
they
departed
for

.
But
for

that
the

the

at

dissymuled
the

and

THese
wordes
or
suche
lyke
spoken
by
the
duke
of
Lancastre
apeased
greatly
the
people
/
who
were
sette
to
do
yuell
/
by
the
settynge
on
of
other
.
Thus
they
departed
at
that
tyme
without
any
other
thynge
doynge
/
and
the
moste
parte
of
theym
were
well
content
/
and
suche
as
wolde
the
contrary
made
no
semblante
therof
at
that
tyme
.
The
duke
of
Gloucestre
retourned
to
his
maner
of
Plasshey
/
and
he
sawe
well
as
at
that
tyme
he
coulde
nat
brynge
his
purpose
to
passe
/
but
styll
he
studyed
howe
to
make
trouble
in
Englande
/
and
to
fynde
the
wayes
howe
to
renewe
the
warre
in
Fraunce
and
he
had
of
his
acorde
his
wyfes
vncle
the
Erle
of
Arundell
/
who
desyred
nothynge
but
warre
/
and
they
had
doone
so
moche
that
they
had
drawen
to
their
acorde
the
erle
of
Warwyke
.
TTHe
kinge
of
Englande
had
two
bretherne
by
his
mother
/
one
called
Thomas
Erle
of
Kente
/
and
the
seconde
sir
Iohan
of
Holande
a
valyaunt
knyght
/
who
had
to
his
wyfe
the
doughter
of
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
he
was
erle
of
Huntyngdon
and
chamberlayne
with
the
kynge
/
it
was
he
that
slewe
the
sonne
of
Rycharde
erle
of
stafforde
/
as
ye
haue
herde
here
before
in
this
hystorie
.
The
sayde
Rycharde
erle
of
Stafforde
had
a
squyer
to
his
sonne
/
who
was
with
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
.
This
erle
of
Huntyngdon
moste
commonly
was
euer
in
the
courte
with
the
kynge
his
brother
/
and
he
knewe
more
of
the
dealynge
of
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
than
any
other
dyd
/
for
couertely
and
wysely
he
made
enquery
/
and
also
he
douted
greatly
the
duke
/
for
he
knewe
he
was
fell
and
sodayne
/
and
hyghe
mynded
/
and
sawe
howe
he
kept
his
enemye
aboute
hym
/
for
the
dethe
of
the
yonge
Stafforde
/
and
the
peace
therof
was
neuer
made
/
but
the
grudge
therof
contynued
styll
.
The
kynge
loued
well
his
brother
/
and
bare
him
against
euery
man
.
and
the
kynge
sawe
well
howe
his
vncle
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
was
euer
contrary
to
hym
/
and
was
euer
about
to
conspyre
agaynst
him
/
and
to
styrre
the
realme
to
rebellyon
.
so
the
kynge
and
his
brother
of
Holande
wolde
often
tymes
comune
togyther
.
The
same
seasone
the
frenche
kyng
had
sent
the
erle
of
saynt
Powle
in
to
Englande
to
se
the
kyng
and
his
doughter
the
quene
and
to
norisshe
loue
/
for
the
truce
was
made
in
suche
maner
and
condycion
/
that
their
subgiettes
myght
repayre
eche
to
other
in
dyspyte
of
all
their
yuell
wyllers
.
the
kynge
and
the
erle
of
Huntyngdon
made
them
good
chere
/
as
well
for
the
honoure
of
the
Frenche
kynge
/
as
for
that
he
had
wedded
their
suffer
.
At
that
tyme
the
Dukes
of
Lancastre
nor
of
yorke
were
nat
with
the
kynge
/
for
they
began
somwhat
to
dissymule
/
for
they
sawe
well
that
the
people
in
Englande
beganne
to
murmure
in
dyuers
places
/
on
the
state
and
rewle
that
the
kynge
kept
/
and
that
the
maters
were
lykely
to
go
yuell
.
They
thought
they
wolde
nat
be
at
the
kinges
commaundement
nor
at
the
peoples
.
And
all
this
came
by
reasone
of
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
and
his
company
.
The
kynge
of
Englande
spared
nat
to
shewe
th
erle
of
saint
Powle
the
state
that
Englande
stode
in
/
and
howe
he
founde
alwayes
his
vncle
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
harde
and
rebell
agaynst
hym
/
and
shewed
hym
all
thynge
that
he
knewe
.
Whan
the
erle
of
saynt
powle
herde
the
kynge
say
in
that
wyse
/
he
had
great
marueyle
therof
/
and
sayde
howe
it
ought
nat
to
be
suffred
/
and
sayd
.
Syr
if
ye
suffre
this
/
they
wyll
dystroy
you
/
it
is
sayd
in
Fraunce
howe
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
entendeth
to
nothynge
/
but
to
breake
the
peace
and
to
renewe
the
warre
agayne
/
and
that
lytell
and
litell
he
draweth
the
hertes
of
yonge
men
of
the
realme
to
his
parte
for
they
desyre
rather
warre
than
peace
/
so
that
the
auncyent
wyse
men
/
if
the
warre
beganne
to
styrre
/
they
shulde
nat
be
herde
nor
beleued
/
for
reason
/
right
/
nor
iustyce
hath
no
place
nor
audyence
/
where
as
yuell
reygneth
/
therfore
prouyde
therfore
rather
betymes
than
to
late
.
it
were
better
ye
had
theym
in
daunger
/
than
they
you
.
These
wordes
of
the
erle
of
saynte
Powle
entered
greatly
in
to
the
kynges
hert
/
and
made
hym
sore
to
muse
/
and
after
that
the
erle
of
saynt
Powle
was
retourned
in
to
Fraunce
/
the
kyng
of
Englande
shewed
all
this
mater
to
his
brother
the
erle
of
Huntyngdon
/
who
said
to
the
kynge
.
Syr
/
my
fayre
brother
of
saynt
Powle
hath
shewed
you
the
trouth
/
therfore
take
good
aduyse
in
this
mater
.
ANd
as
I
was
enfourmed
/
aboute
a
moneth
after
that
the
erle
of
saynte
Powle
had
ben
in
Englande
and
retourned
in
to
Fraunce
/
a
paryllous
fame
and
renome
ranne
vpon
the
kynge
in
Englande
/
and
in
a
maner
there
was
a
generall
brewte
that
the
erle
of
saynt
Powles
commynge
in
to
Englande
was
to
treate
with
the
the
kynge
/
that
the
frenche
men
myght
haue
Calayes
in
to
their
handes
.
This
brute
greatly
troubled
and
moued
the
people
in
Englande
/
in
so
moche
that
certayne
of
London
roode
to
Plasshey
to
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
/
and
shewed
hym
of
that
matter
.
The
duke
apeased
nat
their
wordes
/
but
rather
augmented
it
more
and
more
.
Sayenge
howe
he
coulde
nat
do
therwith
/
But
sayd
he
was
sure
that
the
frenche
men
wolde
it
hadde
coste
theym
all
their
kynges
doughters
/
so
that
they
might
haue
Calais
at
their
pleasure
.
This
answere
set
the
Londoners
a
fyre
/
and
sayde
/
howe
they
wolde
speke
with
the
kynge
/
and
shewe
hym
howe
the
realme
was
nat
content
.
Well
quod
the
duke
shewe
it
hym
in
good
maner
/
and
make
doute
that
the
people
wyll
nat
be
contente
.
And
marke
well
what
answere
he
maketh
/
and
shewe
me
therof
the
nexte
tyme
I
speke
with
you
/
and
thervpon
I
shall
gyue
you
counsayle
what
ye
shall
do
farther
.
It
maye
well
be
/
that
there
be
some
false
traytours
/
counsayleth
the
Kynge
to
the
same
.
There
is
the
erle
Marshall
who
is
Capytayne
of
Calays
/
who
hath
been
two
tymes
in
Fraunce
and
taryed
at
Parys
/
and
he
was
one
of
the
chiefe
procurers
in
the
treatie
for
the
kynges
maryage
with
the
doughter
of
Fraunce
.
And
these
Frenche
men
are
ryght
subtyle
/
and
can
driue
their
purpose
a
farre
of
/
and
lytell
and
lytell
pursue
their
ententes
and
wyll
gyue
largely
to
bringe
about
their
purpose
.
ACordynge
to
the
dukes
counsayle
/
the
Londoners
on
a
daye
wente
to
Eltham
to
the
kynge
/
at
whiche
tyme
there
was
the
kynges
two
bretherne
/
the
erle
of
Kent
and
th
erle
of
Huntyngdon
/
the
erle
of
Salisbury
/
and
the
archebysshoppes
of
Caunterbury
and
of

/
his

Thomas

Lysle
/
Richarde
Credon
/
Iohan
Boulofer
/
and
dyuers
other
knyghtes
of
the
kynges
chambre
.
There
these
londoners
right
wisely
shewed
the
kynge
their
ententes
in
a
meke
humble
maner
/
and
sayde
howe
the
brute
ranne
/
that
the
kynge
was
about
to
delyuer
vp
Calais
into
the
Frenche
mennes
handes
.
The
kyng
had
great
marueile
of
these
newes
/
for
it
touched
hym
nere
to
the
hert
.
But
right
sagely
he
dissymuled
the
mater
for
that
tyme
/
and
apesed
the
Londoners
and
sayd
/
howe
all
that
noise
was
wronge
/
for
it
was
nothyng
so
.
But
for
trouthe
/
he
said
/
the
erle
of
saynt
Poule
was
come
in
to
Englande
for
none
other
entente
/
but
to
sporte
hym
/
and
was
sent
thider
by
the
Frenche
kynge
/
to
se
hym
and
the
quene
his
wyfe
:
Other
marchaundyse
the
kynge
sayde
there
was
none
bytwene
them
/
and
that
the
kynge
sware
/
by
the
faythe
that
he
owed
to
god
and
to
the
crowne
of
Englande
/
and
said
howe
he
had
great
marueyle
/
wherof
suche
wordes
shulde
ryse
.
Thanne
the
erle
of
Salisbury
sayde
.
Sirs
/
ye
good
men
of
London
.
Go
home
to
youre
houses
/
and
be
well
assured
/
that
the
kynge
and
his
Counsayle
wyll
do
nor
entende
to
do
any
thynge
/
but
that
that
shal
be
for
the
honour
and
profite
of
this
his
realme
of
Englande
.
And
who
so
euer
hath
fyrst
brought
vp
these
wordes
are
yuell
counsayled
/
and
shewe
well
howe
they
wolde
gladly
haue
this
realme
in
trouble
/
&
to
haue
the
people
to
ryse
agaynst
the
kyng
/
whiche
thynge
ye
of
London
ought
to
feare
for
by
reason
of
the
laste
rebellyon
/
ye
were
in
great
paryll
/
to
haue
been
all
vtterly
dystroyed
.
For
whan
yuell
people
be
vp
&
gouerne
/
iustyce
nor
reason
than
hath
no
place
.
Those
wordes
apeased
greatly
the
Londoners
/
&
were
contented
with
the
kynges
answere
/
and
so
retourned
to
the
cytie
of
London
/
And
the
kynge
taryed
at
Eltham
ryght
pensyue
/
and
full
of
displeasure

And

And

And
they

But
their

is
/
if

waye
to

and
to
renewe
the

bytwene
Englande

and
that
if
the
Frenche
kyng
wolde
haue

his

he
shulde
/
for
sithe
she

but
eight
yeres

/
paraduenture
whan
she
cometh
to
.xii.
yeres
she
may
repente
her
and
refuce

mariage
/
bycause
she
was
maryed
in
her

And
also
it
was
no
reason
to
dismary
her

And
if
whan

that
she
wyll
nat
refuce

Than
she
must
abyde

but
in

she
shulde

Quene
.
And
that
if
the
kynge
dyed
or
she
came
to
laufull
age
/
than
they
purpose
to
sende
her
agayne
in
to
Fraunce
to
her
father
.
This
was
shewed
to
the
king
for
suche
wordes
were
spoken
by
dyuers
Englysshe
men
/
and
specially
by
the
londoners
who
coude
nat
loue
the
kynge
.
And
they
repented
them
/
that
whan
the
commons
of
Sussexe
/
Kent
/
and
Essexe
were
vp
/
and
came
to
London
/
in
that
they
dyde
breake
their
purpose
/
for
as
some
of
them
confessed
/
they
were
in
mynde
to
haue
slayne
the
kyng
/
the
erle
of
Salisbury
/
the
erle
of
Oxenforde
/
and
all
the
kynges
counsayle
.
And
if
they
hadde
so
done
by
meanes
of
the
rebellyon
/
the
londoners
thanne
shulde
soone
haue
made
a
newe
heed

And
by
meanes
of
the

/
to
haue
founde
some

and
therby
to
haue
brought
the
realme
into
a
better
case
thanne
it
was

Thus
the
londoners
and
suche
other
of
their
secte
/
dayly
murmured
and
had
many
secrete
counsayls
.
All
this

On

Thus
the
dukes
of
Lancastre
and
yorke
/
apeased
their

kynge
Richarde
.
THese

And

And

But
afterwarde
the

vncles
repented
them
that
they
departed
out

There

Like

Than

The

Ryght

They

sythe

Wherby

On

The

satte

Fayre

And
there
wyll
be
also
myne

&

For

I

/
and
commaunde
your
stewarde
to
folowe
you
with
your

to
london
/
where
they
shall
fynde
you
.
the
duke
who
thought
none
yuell
/
lightly
agreed
to
the
kynge
.
And
whan
the
kyng
had
supped
and
rysen
/
euery
thynge
was
redy
.
The
kynge
than
toke
leaue
of
the
duchesse
and
of
her
children
/
and
lepte
a
horsbacke
and
the

with

/
accompanyed
all

thre

to
take

and
to

Brendwode

So
they
rode
a
great
pace
and
talked
by
the
way
with
his

and
he
with

/
and
so

Whan
the

The

and
sawe
well

loude

¶
Nowe
lette
vs
leaue
spekyng
of
this
mater
for
a
season
/
tyll
we
retourne
therto
agayne
.
YE
haue
herde
before
in
this
historie
/
howe
sir
Iohn

and
fro
the

of
Burgoyne
/
and
howe
they
had
spedde
.
Whan
they
were
retourned
in

Fraunce
/
they
were
welcome
to
the
kyng
and
to
the

of
Burgoyne
/
&
to
the

/
bicause
they
brought
certayne
tidynges
fro
the
erle
of
Neuers
/
and
fro
the
lordes
that
were
there
with
hym
.
They
said
to
the
kyng
/
howe
they
trusted
that
Lamorabaquy
wolde
gladly
treat
for
their
raunsoms
And
that
they
sayd
they
knewe
by
some
that
were
of
his
priuye
counsayle
/
for
they
feare
lest
they
shulde
dye
in
prisone
/
bycause
they
be
out
of
their
owne
naturall
ayre
.
And
the
Turkes
thynke
that
by
their
delyueraunce
/
they
shuld
haue
great
fynaunce
for
their
raunsome
.
By
reason
of
these
wordes
/
the
kynge
/
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
/
and
the
duchesse
his
wyfe
/
studyed
nyght

howe
and
by
what

they
might
haue

.
And
sayde
oftentymes
/
that
the
iourney

For
therby

The

The

And

There

To

/
the
duches
of
Burgoyne
countesse
of
Flaunders
studyed
on
her

/
howe

And

they
stuyed
/
that
at

they
founde
the
meanes
to

with

But
that

was
suche
/
that

and
to

In

And

YE
maye
well
knowe
that
the
Frenche
kyng
and
the
duke
of
Burgoyn
alwayes
ymagyned
/
howe
to
gette
their
frendes
out
of
prison
in
Turkey
.
Sir
Dyne
of
Responde
was
alwayes
in
their
counsayls
/
and
he
sayd
euer
that
the
marchauntes
venisyās
and
genowayes
/
myght
well
helpe
and
ayde
in
that
busynesse
.
For
he
sayd
/
marchauntes
myght
go
whider
they
lyst
/
and
by
them
myght
well
be
knowen
the
dealyng
of
the
turkes
and
tartaries
/
with
the
portes
and
passages
of
the
kynges
soudans
and
miscreantes
/
and
specially
they
resorted
to
Quaire
to
Alexandre
/
to
Dammas
/
to
Antyoche
/
and
in
to
the
great
puissaunt
cyties
of
the
Sarazins
/
dayly
they
passe
and
repasse
.
And
daylye
marchauntes
christened
hath
entrecours
with
the
sarazins
/
and
exchaunge
one
with
a nother
their
marchaundyse
.
So
the
frenche
kynge
and
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
sought
all
the
frendes
and
meanes
they
coulde
gette
to
forther
them
:
and
as
than
hadde
no
desyre
to
make
warre
vpon
the
duke
of
Myllayne
/
bycause
they
vnderstode
that
he
was
gret
with
Lamorabaquy
.
On
the
othersyde
kyng
Iames
if
Cypre
/
thought
well
he
shulde
haue
great
thanke
of
the
Frenche
kyng
and
of
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
/
if
he
myght
asswage
the
furour
of
Lamorabaquy
/
and
bringe
hym
to
some
good
resonable
poynt
/
for
the
redemynge
of
the
lordes
of
Fraunce
/
suche
as
he
had
in
prisone
.
And
to
please
them
/
the
kynge
of
Cypre
caused
a
shyppe
to
be
made
of
fyne
golde
/
right
noble
and
riche
/
of
the
value
well
to
the
some
of
tenne
thousande
ducates
/
whiche
shyppe
he
sente
to
Lamorabaquy
by
his
owne
knightes
.
This
shyppe
was
so
goodlye
&
fayre
/
that
it
was
great
ioye
to
beholde
it
/
the
whiche
gyfte
the
soudan
toke
in
gree
/
and
sente
agayne
to
the
kynge
of
Cypre
the
double
in
value
therof
.
All
this
was
anone
knowen
in
Fraunce
/
by
marchauntes
that
wrote
therof
to
Dyne
of
Responde
/
to
the
entente
that
he
shulde
shewe
it
to
the
Frenche
kyng
and
to
the
duke
of
Burgoyn
/
to
haue
a
thanke
of
the
kynge
.
THis
kyng
of
Cypre
had
good
cause
thus
to
do
/
for
he
was
in
doute
of
the
frenche
kynges
displeasure
/
bicause
he
caused
to
be
slayne
&
murdered
by
night
/
his
brother
the
valyaunt
kynge
Peter
/
who
dyde
moche
trouble
to
the
Sarazins
/
&
toke
Saptalye
and
Alexandre
.
The
Sarazins
douted
hym
more
than
any
other
kyng
or
emperour
christened
/
bicause
of
his
valyantnesse
of
the
whiche
dede
this
sayde
kynge
Iames
sore
repented
hym selfe
/
and
knewe
well
he
had
done
yuell
.
And
after
the
same
dede
he
fledde
out
of
Cypre
/
or
els
the
Christen
men
wolde
haue
slayne
hym
.
So
he
entred
in
to
a
galley
of
Gene
/
beyng
at
the
porte
of
Nicopossie
/
and
so
wente
to
Genes
and
the
genowayes
receyued
hym
.
And
some
said
/
that
he
dyde
that
foule
murdre
by
the
entysement
of
the
genoways
/
for
anone
after
the
genouois
came
with
puissaunce
of
men
of
warre
and
galyes
/
and
toke
the
cytie
of
Famagous
and
the
porte
/
and
kepte
it
with
puyssaunce
.
This
kynge
of
Cypre
had
a
fayre
yonge
sonne
.
The
Cyprience
crowned
this
chylde
kynge
/
and
after
his
crownyng
he
lyued
nat
long
/
but
dyed
soone
after
.
And
aft
his
dethe
the
genouois
with
great
puyssaunce
brought
this
Iaques
in
to
Cypre
and
crowned
hym
kyng
/
and
so
he
reigned
kyng
of
Cypre
.
And
the
genowayes
alwayes
susteyned
hym
agaynst
all
men
/
but
they
wolde
neuer
rendre
vp
the
Cytie
of
Famagous
nor
the
porte
/
but
helde
it
styll
at
the
tyme
that
the
auctour
wrot
this
hystorie
.
And
to
saye
the
trouthe
/
if
the
genowayes
had
nat
had
it
/
the
Turkes
had
wonne
it
longe
before
and
all
the
realme
of
Cipre
/
&
had
brought
it
in
to
their
obeysaunce
and
by
all
lykelyhode
had
subdued
the
ysles
of
Rodes
/
and
all
other
ysles
enclosed
in
the
See
to
Venyce
/
but
alwayes
the
genoways
and
venisyās
resysted
them
.
And
whan
they
sawe
that
the
turkes
had
wonne
the
Realme
of
Armony
/
than
they
toke
the
strong
towne
of
Corque
in
Hermyne
on
the
See
syde
/
and
so
helde
it
/
so
that
and
it
had
nat
ben
for
dout
of
the
passage
and
straytes
of
Corque
and
of
Xere
before
Constantyne
the
noble
/
the
turkes
had
sore
entred
in
to
Christendome
/
and
vpon
the
border
of
the
see
/
the
whiche
shulde
haue
been
great
preiudyce
to
the
ysle
of
Rodes
/
and
to
the
ysles
adioynyng
.
Thus
by
these
meanes
the
fronters
of
Christen
dome
were
kepte
and
defended
.
¶
Nowe
let
vs
retourne
to
our
purpose
.
THis
kyng
Iaques
of
Cyper
who
knewe
hym selfe
gylcy
of
the
deth
of
the
kynge
his
brother
/
wherby
he
had
the
hatred
of
all
other
crysten
kynges
/
therfore
he
dyd
as
moche
as
he
coude
do
to
get
agayne
their
loue
and
fauour
/
and
tooke
it
for
a
great
honoure
that
the
frenche
kynge
wrote
fyrst
to
hym
/
for
he
douted
him
most
of
all
/
and
so
he
had
cause
/
for
the
duke
of
Burbone
by
ryght
successyon
of
the
lynage
of
Lusygnan
/
ought
to
be
kynge
there
and
his
heyres
/
for
thoughe
this
kynge
Iaques
was
brother
to
the
kyng
Peter
of
Cyper
/
yet
he
had
no
ryght
to
the
crowne
/
for
he
was
but
a
bastarde
/
and
all
this
knewe
ryght
well
the
genouoys
/
so
that
whan
he
was
made
kynge
/
there
was
made
a
great
alyaunce
bytwene
them
confermed
nat
to
be
broken
/
and
the
genouoys
to
defend
and
kepe
him
and
his
heyres
agaynst
all
other
/
and
therby
they
atteygned
great
sygnories
and
fraunchesses
in
the
realme
of
Ciper
/
and
all
that
euer
they
dyd
to
the
exaltynge
of
this
Iaques
kynge
of
Cyper
was
alwayes
for
their
owne
chiefe
auauntage
/
and
to
be
stronge
against
the

As

For

and
specyally
the
soueraygne
of

These

thanked
the

than
they
toke

and
afterwarde

And
these
two
knyghtes
toke
a
galee
passenger
to
sayle
to
Mathelyn
.
At
their
departynge
fro
the
porte
the

was
fayre

temperate
/
but
whanne
they
were
abrode
in
the
see
the
wynde
chaunged
/
and
had
a
marueylous
great
tempest
/
so
that
the
soueraigne
of
Flaunders
by
reason
of
sore
traueyle
in
that
tempest
/
he
fell
sore
sycke
on

dyed
or
they
came
to
Mathelyn
/
wherof
syr
Iaques
of
Helley
was
●ight
sory
/
but
there
was
no
remedy
/
and
so
sayled
forthe
in
a
galee
of
Venyce
/
and
passed
by
Rodes
/
and
alwayes
as
he
went
he
publysshed
the
redempcyon
of
the
lordes
of
Fraunce
/
wherof
they
of
Rodes
were
ryght
ioyfull
.
At
last
this
knyght
came
in
to
Fraunce
/
and
shewed
the
kynge
and
the
other
lordes
and
ladyes
howe
he
had
spedde
/
wherof
the
kynge
and
other

right
ioyfull
/
and
thanked
the
knyght
of
his
traueyle
and
payne
he
had
taken
in
that
iourney
.
WHan
the
redempcyon
of
these
lordes
and
knyghtes
of
Fraunce
was
at
apoynt
/
than
Lamorabaquy
thought
or
they
departed
to
haue
them
in
his
company
and
that
they
shulde
be
more
at
large
and
better
entreated
than
they
were
before
/
as
it
was
reason
/
sythe
they
were
no
lenger
prisoners
/
he
thought
they
shulde
se
parte
of
his
puyssaunce
and
state
/
whiche
was
as
it
was
shewed
me
/
marueylous
great
and
sumptuous
/
and
kepte
moche
people
dayly
aboute
hym
.
Thus
he
sent
of
the
noble
men
of
his
house
to
bring
them
to
his
presence
/
to
whom
he
made
good
chere
/
and
had
euery
thynge
delyuered
them
of
the
ordinary
of
his
courte
/
acordynge
to
the
vsage
of
the
countrey
/
and
euery
daye
the
kynge
talked
with
the
erle
of
Neuers
by
a
truchman
/
and
greatly
he
honoured
the
erle
of
Neuers
/
for
he
sawe
well
he
was
lyke
to
be
a
great
man
in
Fraunce
/
and
sonne
to
a
great
lord
/
wherof
he
was
well
enfourmed
/
the
whiche
he
founde
true
/
by
reason
of
the
great
sute
that
was
made
for
their
redempcyon
/
and
by
the
great
some
of
money
that
they
agreed
to
paye
.
The
erle
of
Neuers
and
his
company
had
great
marueyle
of
the
great
state
that
he
kept
/
he
and
his
people
laye
euer
in
the
felde
/
for
no
towne
coulde
suffyce
them
.
The
spence
of
his
howseholde
and
charge
of
meate
and
drinke
/
was
marueyle
to
consydre
fro
whence
it
shulde
come
/
but
that
the
countrey
is
so
hote
that
the
people
be
of
sobre
dyet
/
and
vse
moche
spycery
/
and
specyally
suger
and
gotes
mylke
wherof
they
haue
great
haboundaunce
/
the
whiche
is
common
drinke
of
the
sarazyns
/
and
they
haue
plenty
of
bredde
/
made
of
a
grayne
called
mylle
/
he
had
euer
aboute
hym
a
seuen
thousande
fawconers
and
as
many

.
So
it
was
on
a

wente
a

/
and
had
a
flyght
with
a
fawcon
at
an
Egle
in
the
presence
of
the
erle
of
Neuers
/
the
whiche
flyght
pleased
nat
Lamorabaquy
/
wherwith
he
was
sore
dyspleased
/
and
as

was
shewed

for

Another

a
woman
came
to
complayne
to
the
kynge
/
desyringe
to
haue

a

.
Syr

The

and
so
caused
his

/
and

and
than
he

The

began
to

and
sayd
that
he

.
The
woman
spake
wysely
and

Than

Than

and
caused
his

opened
/
to

if
he

These

So

THe

In

So

There

WHan

Sayeng
howe
his

be
refused
nor
forgotten
/
desyring
to
take
a
lytell
counsayle
in
the
mater
and
so
they
dyde
.
Within
a
brefe
tyme
after
/
it
was
shewed
to
the
kyng
of
Hūgeries
ambassadours
in
the
behalfe
of
the

/
that
it
shulde

be
conuenyent
that
the
kyng
of
Hungry
shulde
sell
or
ley
to
pledge
his
enherytaunces
/
for
other
mennes
causes
.
But
if
so
be
the
ambassadours
wolde
do
so
moche
as
to
shewe
to
the
venicyence
that
they
wolde
do
so

a

some

in
Acquitayne
the
.xxx.
thousande
florens
/
that
he
lent

.
In
thus
doyng
they
saide
they
wolde
highly
thanke
the
kynge
of
Hungry
&
his
counsayle
.
The
ambassadors
saide
they
wolde
do
their
best
/
and
assaye
the
venicyence
what
they
wolde
do
.
Whan
the
venycience
were
moued
in
this
mater
/
they
answered
but
coldly
/
and
said
they
wolde
take
counsayle
and
gyue
answere
within
fyftene
dayes
/
at
whiche
tyme
they
answered
(
as
I
was
enformed
/
by
one
that
was
by
at
the
answere
gyueng
)
that
if
the
kyng
of
Hungry
wolde
selle
his
hoole
realme
/
the
venycience
shulde
be
redy
to
bargayne
with
hym
/
&
pay
hym
in
redy
money
.
but
they
said
/
as
for
so
lytell
a
thynge
as
scuyn
thousande
ducates
by
yere
/
they
coulde
make
no
price
nor
valewre
therof
/
nother
to

nor
to
sell
/
wherfore
they
said
they
wolde
nat
medell
in
that
small
mater
.
This
was
the
answere
that
the
venycience
made
.
Some
thought
and
ymagined
/
that
this
answere
was
made
by
waye
of
dissymulacion
.
And
that
thoughe
the
kynge
of
Hungry
made
this
offre
/
yet
by
agrement
/
the
venicyens
made
that
answere
.
Thus
the
mater
abode
styll
/
and
the
kyng
of
Hungry
styll
in
his
possessyon
of
his
reuenewes
.
Thanne
the

ambassadours
departed
fro
Venyce

retourned
in

Hungry

&
the
erle
of
Neuers
abode
styll
at

bycause
of
the

YE

The

he
forgat

howe

And

that

thirde

if

and
to
make

eate
otes
vppon
saynt
Peters
aulter

And
also
he
sayde

howe
our

worth
but
corrupted
by
the
heedes
that
ought
to
gouerne
them
/
wherat
the
Turkes
make
but
a
mocke
.
Wherfore
he
sayd
/
it
shulde
be
the
distruction
of
Christendome
/
and
that
the
tyme
was
as
than
come
.
And
dyuers
of
the
Turkes

sarazins
sayde

that
their

And

they

/
of

and
of

sayde

They
knewe
it
well
that
it
shulde
be
so
by
reasone
that
the
Christen
men
/
were
abused
vpon
.ii.
popes
/
wherby
the
christen

were
nat
all
of

accorde

but
differedde
.
Some
beleuyng
on
the
one
pope

some
vpon

And
the
sarazins
had
great
marueyle

howe
the
heedes

These

made
the
Frenche

greatly
to
muse

And
some
sayd
howe
the

had
good
reason

and
mocke
at
christendome
/
bycause
they
suffred
the

so
moche
.
Therfore
some
sayde
/
it
was
tyme
to
abate
their
pompes
/
and
to
bringe
them
to
reason
.
The
clerkes
of
the

of
Paris
who
traueyled
to
lerne
/
coude
nat
come
to
any
preferment
of

by
reason
of

Scisme
in

and
of
the

wherfore
they
wolde

And

Howe

And
to

suche

so
euery

if

Also
it
was
secretly
shewed
the
Frenche
kyng

by
suche
as

loued

and
suche
as
loued

beed

charged
his

had
great
dout
that

sore
abused

sayd

Whan

THe

sayd
to

who
agreed

In
lykewise
so
dyde
the

for
though
he
obeyed
pope

yet
he
had
neuer

But

Thanne

that
if

that
the

so

&
whan

they
dispoyled

And

Howe

Within

His

The

All

The

The

hath
graunted
you

But
it
is
ordayned
by
iudgement

that
ye
shall
go
in
to
the
ysle
of
Wight
and
lyue
there
as
longe
as
ye

/
and
shall
haue

The
erle
toke
this
punysshement
a
worthe
/
and
thanked
the
kyng
and
his
counsayle
for
sauyng
of
his

/
and
so
made
hym
redy
to
go
thyder
at
the
daye
apoynted
.
In
the
whiche
ysle
was
space
sufficient
for
a
lorde
to
kepe
his
estate
enuyroned
with
the
See
.
Thus
passed
forthe
these
Iudgementes
in
Englande
at
that
season
/
whiche
multiplyed
dayly
worse
&
worse
:
as
ye
shall
here
after
.
WHan
the
dethe
of
the
duke
of
gloucestre
was
knowen
by
the
dukes
of
Lancastre
and
of
yorke
/
incontinent
they
knewe
well
that
the
kynge
their
nephue
had
caused
hym
to
be
slayne
and
murdered
at
Calays
.
As
than
these
two
dukes
were
nat
toguyder
eche
of
them
were
at
their
owne
plates
.
They
wrote
eche
to
other
to
knowe
what
were
best
to
do
/
and
so
they
came
to
London
/
For
they
knewe
well
that
the
londoners
were
nat
content
with
the
dethe
of
the
duke
their
brother
.
Whan
they
mette
there
toguyder
/
they
tooke
counsayle
/
and
sayd
:
Suche

ought
nat
to
be
suffred
/
as
to
putte
to
dethe
so
hyghe
a
prince
/
as
was
their
brother
/
for
ydell
wordes
and
false
reportes
.
For
they
sayd
/
though
he
spake
oftentymes
of
the
breakyng
of
the
peace
yet
he
neuer
brake
it
:
And
bytwene
sayenge
and
doyng
is
great
difference
/
for
by
reason
of
wordes
/
he
ought
nat
to
deserue
dethe
by
suche
cruell
punycion
.
these
two
dukes
were
in
the
case
to
haue
put
all
Englande
to
great
trouble
/
and
there
were
ynowe
redy
to

And
he

And

and
a

&
the

/
that
they

They
answered
and
sayd
.
They
knewe
no
cause
that
the

hadde
done
/
why
they
shulde
refuce
hym
.
The
duke
of
Lancastre
was
at

of
Derby

and
also
the

The

/
who
dissymuled
the

&
shewed
howe

&
said
howe

The

by
the
discencyon
bytwene

Also
they
consydred
/
syth
the
myschefe
was
fallen
of
the
duke
of
Gloucestres
dethe
/
that
there
was
no
recouery
therin
.
they
knewe
well
it
was
bycause
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
had
been
to
lauesse
of
his
tonge
/
and
wolde
haue
styrred
the
realme
to
haue
broken
the
trewce
bytwene
Englande
and
Fraunce
.
Wherfore
suche
as
were
wyse
men
in
the
cytie
dissymuled
the
mater
/
and
thought
it
was
no
tyme
to
a
mende
it
as
than
/
they
feared
the
puyssaunce
of
Fraunce
/
and
lesynge
of
their
marchaundyse
.
Than
beganne
to
treate
and
went
as
a
meane
bytwene
the
king
and
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
who
was
in
many
imagynacions
/
for
the
dethe
of
his
brother
troubled
him
sore
.
Also
he
sawe
howe
his
nephue
kynge
Rycharde
was
alyed
by
mariage
with
the
frenche
kyng
.
Also
the
duke
of
Lancastre
had

out

/
one
quene
of
Spayne

a nother
quene

by
whome
he
thought
he
shulde
haue
great
ayde
if

Rycharde
.
All
thynges
consydred
the

chaunged
his

/
at
the
desyre
of
the
londoners
/
and
of
other
prelates
of
Englande
/
who
were
meane
bytwene
the
kyng
and
hym
/
and
by
their
meanes
the
kynge
was
agreed
with
the
duke
/
and
peace
made
.
with
that
the
kinge
promysed
fro
thens
forwarde
to
be
gouerned
by
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
and
to
do
nothyng
but
by
his
counsayle
and
aduyse
/
whiche
promesse
the
kynge
nothynge
fulfylled
/
but
was
counsayled
by
yonge
and
wylde
counsayle
/
whiche
was
to
his
hurte
and
great
dommage
/
as
ye
shall
here
after
in
this
hystory
.
THus
the
kyng
of
Englande
had
peace
with
his
vncles
/
bycause
of
the
dethe
of
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
.
Than
he
beganne
to
reygne
more
fiersly
than
he
dyd
before
.
The
kynge
went
and
lay
in
Essex
/
where
as
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
had
the
chiefe
rule
/
whiche
ought
to
haue
pertaygned
to
Affcen
his
sonne
and
heyre
/
but
the
kynge
toke
all
/
for
the
ordynaunce
in
Englande
was
/
the
kynge
to
haue
the
warde
of
all
herytours
chyldren
orphelyns
vnder
the
age
of
.xxi.
yeres
/
and
than
they
to
haue
their
herytages
.
Thus
the
kinge
tooke
the
wardeshyppe
of
his
cosyn
/
the
duke
of
Gloucestres
herytour
/
and
the
kynge
toke
the
possession
&
profyte
of
all
the
dukes
lande
/
and
kepte
the
chylde
with
hym
.
And
the
duchesse
of
Gloucestre
and
her
two
doughters
were
with
the
quene
.
The
duke
of
Gloucestr●
by
enherytaunce
was
constable
of
Englande
the
kynge
toke
that
offyce
fro
the
right
heyre
/
and
gaue
it
to
his
cosyn
the
erle
of
Rutlande
.
The
kynge
than
kept
greate
state
than
euer
he
dyd
:
nor
there
had
nat
ben
no
kynge
before
in
Englande
that
spente
so
moche
yerely
by
a
hundred
thousande
nobles
as
he
dyd
.
In
lyke
wyse
the
kynge
had
with
hym
the
heyre
of
the
erle
of
Arundell
/
who
was
beheeded
at
London
.
And
bycause
a
knyght
that
was
belongyng
to
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
called
Cerbe
/
spake
at
a
tyme
certayne
wordes
agaynst
the
kynge
and
his
counsayle
/
he
was
taken
and
beheeded
.
Syr
Iohan
of
Quynghay
was
in
great
parell
/
but
whan
he
sawe
that
the
maters
went
so
dyuersely
as
they
dyd
/
he
dyssymuled
as
moch
as
he
might
/
and
departed
fro
the
duchesse
of
Gloucestres
house
/
and
wente
and
dwelt
in
other
places
.
¶
In
those
dayes
there
was
none
so
great
in
Englande
/
that
durst
speake
agaynst
any
thynge
that
the
kyng
dyd
or
wolde
do
.
He
had
counsayle
mete
for
his
appetyte
/
who
exhorted
hym
to
do
what
he
lyst
.
The
kynge
kept
styll
in
his
wages
ten
thousande
archers
night
and
day
/
that
wayted
on
him
/
for
he
reputed
himselfe
nat
parfytely
sure
of
his
vncles
/
nor
of

And

These

Orlyaunces
doughter

bourges

At
laste
the
maryage
was
concluded
and
openly
publysshed
through
the
cytie
/
but
as
for
the
mater
consernynge
the
popes
/
there
was
nothynge
knowen
therof
out
of
the
counsayle
/
for
all
that
was
concluded
in
the
counsayle
was
kept
secrete
.
Afterwarde
I
was
enfourmed
/
how
it
was
agreed
that
maister
Peter
Daylly
bysshop
of
Cambraye
/
shulde
go
in
legacyon
fro
the
frenche
kynge
and
fro
the
kynge
of
Almayne
to
Rome
/
to
hym
that
was
called
pope
Bonyface
/
that
he
shulde
submyt
hym selfe
to
haue
a
newe
electyon
of
a
pope
/
and
in
lykewyse
to
the
other
pope
at
Auygnon
.
And
if
so
be
that
any
of
them
wolde
nat
agree
therto
/
to
abyde
the
ordre
of
these
two
kynges
he
to
be
dysgrated
&
all
ryghtes
of
the
churche
to
be
kepte
fro
hym
/
and
the
frenche
kynge
to
comprise
to
his
agrement
his
sonne
in
lawe
the
kynge
of
Englande
/
and
the
kynge
of
scottes
/
kynge
Henry
of
Spayne
/
kynge
Iohan
of
Portugale
/
kynge
Charles
of

/
and
the

of
Aragon
.
and
the
kinge
of
Almayne
shulde
compryse
his
brother
Loys
kynge
of
Hungery
/
and
all
the
realme
of
Boesme
and
Almayne
to
Pruce
.
And
it
was
ordeyned
that
whan
this
bysshop
of
Cambrey
was
retourned
fro
the
sōmonyng
of
these
two
popes
/
than
he
to
go
in
to
all
the
sayd
realmes
their
alyes
.
Thus
these
two
kynges
sware
to
holde
without
varyacyon
or
let
.
Thus
ended
their
counsayle
at
that
tyme
.
The
kynges
and
lordes
departed
amyably
/
and
euery
man
tooke
leaue
and
departed
and
went
home
.
AT
this
counsayle
at
Reynes
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
was
nat
nor
wolde
nat
be●
for
he
sayd
before
that
it
was
but
a
payne
/
and
a
thynge
loste
to
gyue
any
thynge
to
the
almayns
/
for
they
kepe
no
promesse
nor
couenaunt
/
howe
be
it
for
all
the
dukes
wordes
there
was
nothynge
left
/
for
the
mater
went
forthe
as
ye
haue
herde
.
And
anon
after
the
bysshop
of

KInge
Richard

a

he
wolde

that
it
was
marueyle
to

and

and
suche

as
the

who
was

syr
Symon

who
by
reason

wherof
suche
as
were
than
aboute
the
kynge
was
nothynge
sory
/
wherby
some
that
were
aboute
the
kynge
rose
in
to
suche
pride
that
it
was
marueyle
/
and
in
so
moche
that
they
coulde
nat
coloure
nor
hyde
it
/
and
specyally
the
erle
Marshall
/
who
was
as
great
in
the
kynges
fauoure
as
myght
be
/
and
to
the
entente
to
please
the
kynge
and
to
flatter
hym
/
he
made
the
kynge
beleue
that
he
was
a
trewe
faythfull
and
a
secrete
seruaunt
/
and
that
he
coulde
nat
endure
to
here
any
worde
spoken
agaynst
the
kynge
/
and
tolde
the
kynge
many
thynges
to
haue
the

loue
/
howe
be
it
often
tymes
a
man
thynketh
to
be
auaunced
/
and
is
pulled
backe
/
and
so
it
fortuned
of
the
erle
Marshall
/
I
shall
shewe
you
howe
.
ye
muste
knowe
that
the
erle
of
Derby
and
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
deed
/
had
to
their
wyues
two
susters
/
doughters
to
the
erle
of
Herforde
and
of
Northamton
/
constable
of
Englande
.
so
the
chyldren
of
the
erle
of
Derby
and
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
were
cosyn
germayns
by
their
mother
syde
/
and
within
a
degre
as
nere
of
kynne
by
their
fathers
syde
.
To
say
trouth
the
dethe
of
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
was
ryght
dyspleasaunt
to
many
great
lordes
of
Englande
/
and
often
tymes
they
wolde
speke
and
murmure
therat
/
whan
they
were
togyder
/
and
the
kynge
than
was
so
hygh
vppon
the
whele
that
no
man
durste
speke
/
but
the
kynge
knewe
it
/
for
he
had
caused
to
be
spoken
abrode
in
the
realme
that
/
what
so
euer
he
were
that
spake
any
word
of
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
or
of
the
erle
of
Arundell
/
he
shulde
be
reputed
as
a
traytour
/
wherfore
the
people
durst
nat
speke
.
And
on
a
day
the
erle
of
Derby
and
the
erle
Marshall
communed
togyder
of
dyuers
maters
/
at
last
amonge
other
they
spake
of
the
state
of
the
kynge
and
of
his
counsayle
/
suche
as
he
had
about
hym
and
beleued
them
/
so
that
at
the
last
the
erle
of
Derby
spake
certayne
wordes
whiche
he
thought
for
the
best
/
wenynge
that
they
shulde
neuer
haue
ben
called
to
rehersall
/
whiche
wordes
were
nouther
vylenous
nor
outragyous
/
for
he
sayde
thus
.
Saint
Mary
fayre
cosyn
.
what
thynketh
the
kynge
oure
cosyn
to
do
?
wyll
he
driue
out
of
Englande
all
the
noble
men
/
within
a
whyle
there
shal
be
none
left
?
it
semeth
clerely
that
he
wylleth
nat
the
augmentacyon
of
his
realme
.
The
erle
marshall
gaue
none
aunswere
/
but
dissimuled
the
mater
/
and
toke
it
that
he
spake
agaynst
the
kynge
/
and
thought
in
hymselfe
that
the
Erle
of
Derby
was
ryght
lykely
to
make
great
trouble
in
Englande
/
bycause
he
was
so
great
with
the
londoners
/
and
the
dyuell
was
redy
to
styre
his
brayne
/
and
that
thynge
that
shall
fall
can
nat
be
eschewed
.
SO
he
thought
to
shewe
this
mater
to
the
kynge
/
whan
noble
men
shulde
be
presente
/
and
on
a
day
to
please
the
kynge
/
he
sayde
.
Ryght
dere
syr
/
I
am
of
youre
lygnage
/
and
ame
your

man
and
marshall
of
Englande
/
Wherfore
sir
/
I
am
bounde
to
you
by
myne
Alliegeaunce
/
and
othe
sworne
my

/
that
I
shulde

hearynge
/
any
thynge
contrarye
to
your
mageste
royall
/
and
shulde
kepe
it
secrete
/
I
ought
to
be
reputed
as
a
false
traytour
/
whiche
I
wyll
nat
be
/
for
I
wyll
trewly
acquyte
me
agaynst
you
/
and
all
the
worlde
.
The
kynge
loked
on
hym
/
and
demaunded
and
sayd
.
Why
say
you
these
wordes
/
we
wyll
know
it
?
My
right
redouted
souerayne
lorde
quod
the
erle
Marshall
/
I
saye
it
bycause
I
canne
nat
suffre
any

or
agaynst

.
syr
cause

erle
of
Derby
to
come
before

/
and
than
I
shall
shewe

more
.
Than
the
erle
of
Derby
was
sente
for
/
and
the
kynge
commaunded
the
erle
Marshall
to
stande
vp
/
for
he
was
on
his
knee
whyle
he
spake
to
the
Kynge
.
And
whan
the
erle
of
Derby
was
before
the
kyng
/
who
thought
none
yuell
/
than
the
erle
Marshall
sayde
.
Syr
erle
of
Derby
/
I
say
to
you
/
ye
haue
thought
yuell
and
spoken
otherwyse
than
ye
ought
to
do
/
agaynste
your
naturall
lorde
the
kynge
of
Englande
/
whan
ye
sayde
that
he
was
nat
worthy
to
holde
lande
or
realme
/
seynge
without
lawe
or
iustyce
/
without
counsayle
of
any
of
his
noble
men
/
he
distourbeth
his
Realme
/
and
without
tytell
or
good
reason
putteth
out
of
his
realme
and
dystroyeth
them
/
who
ought
to
ayde
and
susteyne
him
wherfore
here
I
cast
my
gage
and
wyll
proue
with
my
body
agaynst
yours
/
that
ye
are
an
yuell
false
traytour
.
The
erle
of
Derby
was
sore
abasshed
with
those
wordes
/
and
stepte
backe
a
lytell
and
stode
styll
a
season
without
demaundynge
of
his
Father
or
of
any
other
what
aunswere
he
shulde
make
.
Whan
he
had
studyed
a
lytell
he
stept
forthe
with
his
cappe
in
his
hande
/
and
came
before
the
kynge
and
the
erle
Marshall
/
and
sayd
.
Erle
Marshall
/
I
saye
thou
arte
an
yuell
and
a
false
traytour
/
and
that
I
shall
proue
/
my

agaynst
thyne
/
and
in
that
quarell
here
is
my
gauge
.
Th
erle
Marshall
whan
he
herde
howe
he
was
apealed
shewed
howe
he
desyred
the
batayle
.
With
that
the
erle
of
Derby
aunswered
and
sayde
.
I
sette
your
wordes
at
the
kynges
pleasure
/
and
other
lordes
that
be
here
/
and
I
tourne
your
wordes
to
a
mocke
and
myne
to
be
true
.
Than
eche
of
these
erles
drewe
to
their
company
and
lygnage
/
so
that
the
manner
of
takynge
of
wyne
and
spyces
was
lette
passe
/
for
the
kyng
shewed
hym selfe
to
be
right
sore
displeased
/
and
so
entred
in
to
his
chambre
/
and
left
his
two
vncles
without
and
all
their
chyldren
/
and
the
erles
of
Salysbury
and
Huntyngdon
his
bretherne
.
Than
anone
after
the
kynge
sent
for
his
vncles
/
and
entred
in
to
his
chambre
.
Thanne
the
kynge
demaunded
of
them
what
was
best
to
do
in
this
mater
.
Syr
quod
they
cause
your
constable
to
come
before
you
/
and
than
we
shall
shewe
you
our
opynyons
.
Than
the
erle
of
Rutlande
who
was
constable
was
sente
for
/
and
whan
he
was
come
/
than
he
was
commaunded
to
go
to
the
erle
of
Derby
and
to
the
erle
Marshall
/
and
to
take
suretye
of
theym
/
that
they
go
nat
out
of
the
realme
of
Englande
without
the
kynges
lycence
.
The
constable
dyd
as
he
was
commaunded
/
and
than
retourned
agayne
to
the
kinges
chambre
.
YE
maye
well
knowe
this
matter
greatly
troubled
the
courte
/
and
many
lordes
and
knyghtes
were
sore
dyspleased
of
that
aduenture
and
secretly
they
greatly
blamed
the
erle
Marshall
/
but
he
made
as
though
he
had
ser
nothyng
by
the
mater
/
his
hert
was
so
proude
&
presumptuous
.
Thus
the
lordes
departed
for
that
day
.
The
duke
of
Lancastre
what
so
euer
countynaunce
he
made
/
he
was
sore
displeased
with
these
wordes
/
and
he
thought
the
kynge
shulde
nat
haue
taken
the
mater
as
he
dyd
/
but
shulde
rather
haue
tourned
it
to
nothynge
/
and
so
thought
the
moste
parte
of
all
the
lordes
of
Englande
.
The
erle
of
Derby
went
and
lay
at
London
/
and
helde
his
estate
at
his
owne
lodgynge
/
and
there
were
pledges
for
him
/
the
duke
of
Lancastre
his
father
/
the
duke
of
yorke
/
the
Erle
of
Northumberlande
/
and
dyuers
other
lordes
.
And
the
erle
Marshall
was
sente
to
the
towre
of
London
/
and
there
helde
his
estate
.
These
two
lordes
made
prouysyon
/
for
that
was
necessary
for
them
for
their
batayle
.
The
erle
of
Derby
sent
his
messangers
in
to
Lombardy
to
the
duke
of
Myllayne
syr
Galeas
/
for
to
haue
armure
at
his
pleasure
.
The
duke
agreed
to
the
erles
desyre
/
and
caused
the
knight
that
the
erle
had
sent
thyder
/
whose
name
was
Fraunces
/
to
se
all
the
dukes
armorye
.
And
whan
the
knyght
had
chosen
suche
as
he
lyked
/
than
the
duke
furthermore
for
loue
of
the
erle
of
Derby
/
he
sent
four
of
the
best
armorers
that
were
in
Lombardy
to
the
erle
in
to
Englande
with
the
knight
/
to
the
entent
that
they
shulde
arme
and
make
armure
acordynge
to
the
erles
entente
.
The
erle
Marshall
on
his
parte
sent
in
to
Almayn
and
in
to
other
places
to
prouyde
him
for
that
iourney
.
The
charge
of
these
two
lordes
was
greate
/
but
the
erle
of
Derby
was
at
moost
charge
.
The
erle
Marshall
whan
he
beganne
that
busynesse
/
he
thought
to
haue
had
more
ayde
of
the
kynge
than
he
had
/
for
suche
as
were
nere
aboute
the
kynge
sayd
to
him
.
Syr
ye
haue
nothyng
to
do
to
medle
bytwene
these
two
lordes
/
dyssymule
you
the
mater
/
and
let
them
deale
/
they
wyll
do
well
ynough
.
Sir
ye
knowe
well
the
erle
of
Derby
is
well
beloued
in
the
realme
/
and
specyally
with
the
Londoners
/
and
if
they
se
that
ye
shulde
take
parte
with
the
erle
Marshall
/
ye
were
lyke
to
lose
their
loue
therby
for
euer
.
The
kynge
vnderstode
well
their
wordes
/
and
knew
well
it
was
trewe
/
he
than
dissymuled
the
mater
as
moche
as
he
coulde
/
and
suffred
them
to
make
their
prouysyon
where
they
lyst
.
THe
newes
spredde
abrode
in
dyuers
countreys
of
the
defyaunce
bytwene
the
erle
of
Derby
and
the
erle
Marshall
/
Many
men
spake
therof
in
dyuers
maners
/
and
specyally
in
Fraunce
.
They
sayd
lette
theym
alone
/
the
knyghtes
of
Englande
are
ouer
proude
/
at
length
they
wyll
dystroy
eche
other
/
for
it
is
the
worste
nacyon
in
the
worlde
vnder
the
sonne
/
for
in
that
realme
dwelleth
the
moste
presumptuous
people
that
canne
be
.
Other
there
were
that
spake
more
so
berly
/
and
sayde
/
that
the
kynge
of
Englande
shewed
no
wysdome
/
nor
was
nat
well
counsayled
/
whanne
for
wylde
wordes
he
to
suffre
suche
two
noble
men
of
his
blode
to
enterprise
armes
in
defyaunce
/
he
shulde
rather
whan
he
herde
the
wordes
fyrste
/
haue
sayde
to
them
bothe
.
ye
are
two
lordes
of
my
blode
and
lygnage
/
wherfore
I
commaunde
you
bothe
to
be
in
peace
/
and
lette
nouther
hate
nor
rancoure
engendre
bytwene
you
/
but
be
frendes
/
louers
and
cosyns
togyther
/
and
if
this
lande
canne
nat
contente
you
/
go
in
to
what
countrey
ye
wyll
/
and
seke
aduentures
of
armes
there
.
If
the
kynge
had
sayde
those
wordes
and
apeased
these
lordes
thus
/
than
he
had
done
wysely
.
The
duke
of
Lancastre
was
sore
dyspleased
in
his
mynde
to
se
the
kynge
his
nephewe
mysse
vse
hym selfe
in
dyuers
thynges
/
as
he
dyd
.
he
consydred

trusted

Our
nephue
the
kynge
of
Englande
wyll
shame
all

he
beleueth
to
lyghtly
yuell

who
shall
distroy

and
symply
(
if

he
wyll
lese
his

/
and
that
hath
been
goten
with
moche
coste
and
trauayle
by
our
predecessours
and
by

:
he
suffreth
to

noble

and
dyscorde
/
by
whom
he
shulde
be
serued

and
this

He
hath
caused
my

whiche

and
the

of
Arundell

bycause

but
he

none

He
canne
nat
better
dystroye
his

than
to
put
trouble
and
hatred
bytwene
the
noble

and
good

the

for

but
by
our

and
dyscorde
bytwene
our selfe
.
And
wese
dayly
that
all
realmes
deuyded
are
dystroyed
/
it
hath
been
sene
by
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
Spayne
/
Naples
/
and
by
landes
of
the

/
as
we
maye
se
dayly
by
the

whiche
is

also
it
hath
been
sene
by
the
countrey
of
Flaunders
/
howe
by
their
owne
meanes
they
are
distroyed
.
Also
presently
it
is
sene
by
the
lande
of
Frece
/
with
whome
our
cosyns
of
Haynalt
are
in
warre

and
howe
the
frenche

amonge

dystroyed

in

amonge
ourselfe
without

prouyde
for

the

Nowe
the
kynge
suffereth
that
my

shall
do
batayle
for
a
thynge
of

/
and
I
that

Thus
said
the

.
ALl
the

that

marueylously
well

both

specyally
with

for

for
they
that

maye

fro

wherby
they
maye
knowe

ye

homage
/
and
haue
helde
hym
for

but
that
was
by
fauour

of
his
grauntfather
good
kynge
Edwarde
/
who
douted
of
this
poynte
that
we
nowe
speke

and
on
a

great
question
was
made
bytwene
kyng
Edwarde

and
duke
Henry
of
Lancastre

/
but
the
lordes
of

that

apeased
the

/
for
kynge
Edwarde
was
so
valyaunt
a
man
and
so
happy
in
all
his
enterprises
/
that
he
had
the
loue
of
all
his

nor

your

wolde

well

good

serued
the

nobly

so
that
he

These

he

Suche

thoughe

but
lytell
of
the

The

dayly
prepared

and

THe

Thoughe

that

THis

Whan

suche

And

These

the

made
semblaunt
to

ioyfull

and
made

Also

These

At

All

Than
euery

counsayls
.
and
their
entencion
was
/
to
bring
the
churche
in
to
a
parfyte
vnite
/
for
to
folowe
the
way
that
the
churche
helde
as
than
.
The
errour
was
to
great
.
And
also
ye
haue
herde
howe
mayster
Peter
de
Ailly
bysshoppe
of
Cambrey
/
was
sent
in
legacion
to
Rome
to
speke
with
pope
Boniface
.
he
spedde
hym
so
in
his
iourney
that
he
came
to
Foundes
/
and
there
founde
pope
Boniface
/
and
to
hym
he
delyuered
his
letters
of
credence
/
dyrected
fro
the
kynges
of
Almaygne
and
of
Fraunce
.
The
pope
receyued
them
/
and
the
bysshoppe
right
mekelye
.
The
pope
knewe
well
parte
of
his
message
.
Than
the
bysshoppe
declared
the
cause
of
his
commynge
.
Whan
the
pope
hadde
well
herde
hym
he
sayde
/
Howe
the
answere
laye
nat
all
onely
in
hym
/
but
also
in
all
the
cardy
nalles
that
had
chosen
hym
pope
.
but
he
said
whan
he
hadde
spoken
with
them
by
delyberate
counsayle
/
than
he
wolde
make
suche
answere
that
he
trusted
to
content
them
.
This
aunswere
was
suffycient
for
that
tyme
.
The
bysshoppe
dyned
that
daye
in
the
popes
palyce
/
and
certayne
Cardynalles
with
hym
.
Than
after
the
pope
departed
fro
Foundes
and
went
to
Rome
/
and
there
the
pope
assembled
a
conuocacion
of
the
cardynalles
in
his
palyce
besyde
saynt
Peters
churche
.
In
this
consistorie
there
were
none
but
the
pope
and
his
cardynalles
/
And
there
the
pope
shewed
the
request
that
the
kynge
of
Almaygne
and
the
Frenche
kyng
had
made
hym
by
the
bysshoppe
of
Cambrey
/
&
there
he
demaunded
counsaile
what
answere
he
shuld
make
.
there
were
thanne
many
reasons
alleged
/
for
it
semed
right
contrary
to
the
cardinalles
to
put
downe
that
they
hadde
made
/
they
sayde
it
shulde
be
greatly
to
their
shame
and
rebuke
Than
they
said
to
the
pope
.
Holy
father
/
to
cause
these
kynges
to
be
in
a
good
hope
/
that
ye
wyll
obey
to
the
/
ye
must
somwhat
dissymule
the
mater
/
and
saye
howe
ye
wyll
gladly
obey
to
all
thynge
that
the
kynge
of
Almaygne
/
the
kyng
of
Hungry
/
and
the
kyng
of
Englande
wyll
counsayle
you
vnto
.
So
that
he
that
is
in
Auignon
/
who
writeth
hym selfe
pope
Benedic
/
whom
the
Frenche
kyng
and
the
frenchmen
vpholde
in
his
errour
/
that
he
depose
hym
of
the
name
of
papalyte
.
And
than
wher
so
euer
it
shall
please
the
sayde
kynges
to
apoynt
a
conclaue
/
ye
wyll
be
redy
and
all
your
bretherne
the
cardynalles
.
This
counsayle
pleased
well
pope
Boniface
.
This
was
the
speciall
and
generall
aunswere
that
the
bysshoppe
of
Cambrey
had
.
And
whan
the
Romayns
vnderstode
that
the
kynges
of
Almaygne
and
of
Fraunce
/
had
sente
to
their
pope
their
ambassade
/
to
haue
him
to
leaue
his
papalyte
/
anone
there
multiplyed
great
murmuracion
/
through
the
cytie
of
Rome
.
And
the
Romayns
douted
greatly
to
lese
the
popes
siege
/
whiche
was
yerely
to
them
a
gret
profyte
.
For
all
pardons
that
shulde
be
two
yere
after
/
the
vantage
therof
shulde
growe
to
the
cytie
of

and
agaynst
that
pardone
they
had
made
great
prouisyon
/
wherfore
they
douted
lest
it
shulde
haue
ben
loste
/
whiche
shulde
greatly
haue
ben
to
their
preiudyce
.
Than
the
moost
notablest
persones
in
Rome
assembled
togyder
/
and
came
to
the
Pope
and
shewed
hym
more
signe
of
loue
/
than
euer
they
hadde
done
before
/
and
sayd
.
Holy
father
/
ye
are
the
trewe
pope
/
therfore
lese
nat
your
herytage
and
patrimony
of
the
churche
/
the
whiche
was
saynt
Peters
.
take
neuer
counsayle
to
the
contrarye
/
but
abyde
styll
as
pope
.
For
who
soeuer
be
against
you
/
we
shall
abyde
with
you
/
and
ieoparde
oure
bodyes
and
goodes
/
to
defende
you
in
youre
right
.
The
pope
aunswered
and
sayd
.
My
welbeloued
chyldren
be
of
good
confort
/
and
be
well
assured
/
that
I
wyll
abyde
as
pope
/
for
any
treatie
of
kynge
or
kynges
to
the
contrary
.
Thus
the
Romayns
were
contented
and
apeased
/
and
retourned
to
their
houses
.
The
popes
answere
was
alwayes
to
the
bysshoppe
of
Cambrey
/
that
whan
he
parceyued
clerely
that
Benedic
deposed
hymselfe
/
than
he
said
/
he
wolde
be
ordred
by
the
sayde
kynges
.
So
the
bysshoppe
retourned
and
came
in
to
Almaygne
/
and
founde
the
kyng
at
Cōualence
/
and
there
he
shewed
the
answere
that
he
had
at
Rome
.
Than
the
kyng
of
Almaygne
sayde
.
Well
.
Shewe
all
this
to
our
brother
and
cosyn
the
Frenche
kynge
/
and
as
he
ordreth
hym selfe
so

I

But

And
whan
he
hath
putte
downe

than
we

Than
the
bysshoppe
departed
fro
the
kyng
/
and
rode
tyll
he
came
to
Parys
/
wher
he
founde

Whan
he

sayd

counsayled
togyder

were
longe

many
thought
it

a
contrary

to

than
the

of
Amyence
spake

Lordes

whether

Trewe

Than

that
ye

Than
Benedyc
aunswered
and
said
.
The
vnyon
of
the

and
I

Than

Thus

The

that

Therwith
this
Benedic
rose
out
of

and
went

cardynalles
with

and
than
after

/
and
came

/
whiche
partaygned
to

The

Whan
the

vnderstode
that
this
pope
Benedic
wolde
nat

ordynaunce
/
he
sayd
to

/
ye

do
here
/
and
I
shall
execute
that
I
am
commaunded
to
do
by
the
kynge
and
his
vncles
.
The
next
daye
the
bysshoppe
departed
and
toke
the
way
to
Albenoys
and
to
Pyne
/
and
the
marshall

/
squyers
and

through

countrey
of
Viurays
/
of
Vyuieres
/
and
Auuergne
to
Mount
pellyer
/
for
he
had
commyssyon
so
to
do
by
the
king
/
and
also
he
sent

He
wente
hym selfe
to
the
pownte
saynt
Esperyte
/
and
closed
there
the
passage
ouer
the
ryuer
of
Rone
/
that
nothynge
shulde

Thus

some

Than
the

sent
an
haraulde
to
defye
pope
Benedic
in
his
palays
/
and
all
the
cardynals
that

.
This
was
harde
tydynges
to
the
cardynals
/
and
to
them
in
the
cytie
of
Auygnon
/
for
they
knewe
well
they
coulde
nat
longe
susteyne
the
warre
agaynst
the
puyssaunce
of
the
Frenche
kynge
/
than
they
determyned
to

well
by

as

.
This
Benedyc
aunswered
folysshly
and
sayd
:
syrs

I

/
that
he
come

serue
me
/
whiche
I
am
sure
he

for
he
is
bounde
therto
for
two
causes
/
he
is
of
my

/
and
also
he
ought
to
be

Sirs

Other
aunswere

cardynals
and
the
men
of
the

So
euery

This
Benedic
had
of
longe
tyme
purueyed
his

with
wyne
/
corne
/
larde
/
oyle
and
of
all
other

parteynynge
to

and
also
he
was
of
his
person
hygh
and
cruell
/
and
wolde
nat
be
abasshed
for
a
lytell
thynge
.
The
marshall
of
Fraunce
departed
fro
pount
saynt
Spyrite
/
and
passed
with
all
his
company
by
the
towne
of

/
by
consent
of

/
and
so
entred

of
Venyce
/
whiche
was
lande
parteygnynge
to
the
churche
/
the
whiche
anone
was
ouer
rynne
/
and
the
men
of
warre
passed
at
the
bridge
of
Sourgnes
/
and
so
they
were
lordes
of
all
the
ryuer
/
and
the
marshall
taryed
in
the
towne
of
Sourgnes
with
a
gret
nombre
of
menne
of
warre
to
kepe
the
towne
and
passage
/
and
also
the
garysone
of
Noues
whiche
partayned

Than
the
marshall
went
and
lodged
at
saynt
Verayne
nere
to
Auignon
/
and
his
men
therabout
/
and
dayly
came
thyder
men
of

/
so
that
the
cytie
of
Auignon
was
closed
in
before
and
behinde
by
lande
and
by
the
ryuer
/
so
that
nothynge
coulde
entre
nor
issue
without
leaue
.
for
at
the
towne
of
Noue
without
Auygnon
/
whiche
partayned
to
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
was
the
seneschall
of
Beaucayre
with
fyue
hundred
men
/
and
kepte
the
entre
on
that
syde
/
and
the
marshall
of
Fraunce
with
two
thousande
men
was
on
the
other
syde
of
Auignon
/
and
he
sent
to
theym
of
the
cytie
that
without
they
wolde
obey
and
open
their
cytie
/
that
he
wolde
burne
all
their
vynes
and
houses
abrode
in
the
countrey
aboute
to
the
ryuer
of
Dureuse
.
That
sōmonynge
greatly
abasshed
the
men
and
women
within
the
cytie
/
for
their
herytages
laye
without
Auignon
vnto
the
ryuer
of
Dureuse
.
Than
they
went
to
counsayle
without
knowledge
of
the
pope
/
and
they
called
to
their
counsayle
certayne
cardynals
/
as
the
cardynall
of
Amyence
/
of
Poictours
/
of
Newcastell
/
of
Viuyers
/
and
dyuers
other
.
Than
suche
as
had
moste
to
lose
shewed
these
cardynalles
howe
the
marshall
of
Fraunce
had
thretened
them
to
brinne
their
vynes
and
their
howses
/
and
all
this
had
caused
the
frenche
kynge
/
agaynst
whome
they
coulde
nat
resyste
/
for
his
puyssaunce
was
so
nere
them
.
and
all
thynges
consydred
/
they
sayde
they
were
better
to
obey
to
the
frenche
kynge
/
than
to
holde
their
paryllous
opynyons
/
for
of
Benedyc
they
coulde
haue
no
ayde
nor
comforte
/
and
they
demaunded
of
these
cardynalles
if
they
wolde
ioyne
and
take
their
parte
.
The
cardynals
said
they
were
content
to
take
their
wayes
/
for
vitayles
beganne
to
fayle
theym
/
and
also
their
benefyces
were
in
the
realme
of
Fraunce
/
whiche
they
sayd
they
wolde
nat
wyllyngly
lese
.
So
they
entred
in
to
treatie
with
the
marshall
of
Fraunce
/
the
whiche
toke
suche
effecte
/
that
all
the
men
of
warre
entred
in
to
the
cytie
of
Auignon
/
and
it
was
apoynted
to
besiege
the
palays
/
their
couynaunt
was
to
do
no
hurte
nor
dyspleasure
to
the
cardynalles
nor
to
none
of
their
men
/
nor
to
the
hole
body
of
the
towne
.
This
to
do
the
marshall
promysed
.
So
they
entred
in
to
Auignon
/
and
lodged
at
their
ease
and
lybertie
/
and
than
all
the
passages
as
well
by
lande
as
by
water
were
opened
/
to
the
entent
that
all
maner
of
bytayle
myght
come
to
the
cytie
.
WHen
he
that
wrote
him selfe
pope
Benedyc
/
beynge
closed
in
his
palays
)
sawe
that
the
cardynals
and
the
men
of
the
cytie
had
made
a
treatie
with
the
marshall
of
Fraunce
without
his
counsayle
or
aduyse
/
he
was
therwith
sore
dyspleased
/
howe
be
it
he
sayd
that
he
wolde
nat
submytte
hym selfe
/
to
dye
in
the
payne
/
and
so
he
kepte
hym selfe
close
in
his
palais
/
which
was
as
stronge
a
place
as
any
in
the
worlde
/
and
most
easyest
to
be
kepte
/
so
that
it
be
well
vytayled
.
This
pope
had
sent
letters
to
the
kynge
of
Aragone
instantly
to
socoure
hym
in
his
nede
/
and
to
sende
him
men
of
warre
that
he
myght
be
able
to
resyst
the
marshall
of
Fraunce
also
he
sente
the
kynge
worde
in
his
letter
/
that
if
he
coulde
get
hym
thens
fro
Auignon
/
he
wolde
go
and
kepe
his
see
apostolyke
in
Aragon
/
at
Parpygnon
or
at
Barcelone
.
The
kynge
of
Aragon
sawe
well
the
popes
letters
/
but
he
made
no
force
of
them
/
and
sayd
to
his
counsayle
that
were
aboute
hym
.
What
/
weneth
this
preest
that
to
susteyne
hym
and
his
argumentes
/
I
shall
enterpryse
to
make
warre
agaynste
the
frenche
kyng
to
ayde
hym
/
than
I
might
well
be
reputed
a
fole
?
Syr
quod
his
counsayle
ye
say
trouthe
/
ye
haue
no
nede
to
medle
in
that
mater
/
for
syr
ye
may
be
sure
the
frenche
kynge
hath
suche
counsayle
aboute
hym
/
that
he
wolde
make
no
warre
agaynst
hym
without
a
iuste
cause
/
lette
the
clergy
alone
/
for
if
they
purpose
to
lyue
the
prelates
must
obey
the
great
lordes
〈◊〉
whome
their
rentes
and
reuenues
are
/
they
haue
longe
kept
them
in
peace
.
And
also
syr●he
frenche
kynge
hath
writen
to
you
all
redy
/
desyringe
you
to
determyne
you
and
your
countrey
to
be
newter
/
as
he
is
and
wyll
be
/
and
syr
ye
were
beste
so
to
do
/
for
my
lady
the
quene
who
is
the
Frenche
kynges
cosyn
germayne
/
is
content
so
to
be
/
and
so
is
the
moste
parte
of
your
realme
/
and
the
clergy
in
lykewyse
/
and
specyally
Catelone
and
Spayne
/
and
syr
we
thynke
it
is
the
best
opynion
/
for
if
all
cristen
kynges
do
nat
the
same
the
churche
shall
neuer
come
to
vnyte
by
reasone
of
two
popes
.
Thus
the
kynge
of
Aragon
and
his
counsayle
deuysed
togyder
/
and
pope
Benedic
was
styll
in
his
palays
/
trustynge
to
haue
ayde
of
the
kynge
of
Aragon
/
but
he
was
dysceyued
/
and
the
marshall
of
Fraunce
was
with
in
the
cytie
of
Auygnon
/
and
the
palays
was
so
kept
that
none
coulde
issue
out
nor
entre
in
.
They
lyued
with
that
store
they
had
/
for
of
vytayles
they
had
suffycient
for
two
or
thre
yere
/
but
they
lacked
woode
to
make
fyre
with
all
/
and
to
sethe
their
meate
/
whiche
made
theym
abasshed
.
Euery
weke
the
marshall
herde
newes
fro
the
frenche
kynge
and
the
kynge
fro
hym
/
and
the
kynge
commaunded
hym
that
he
shulde
nat
departe
thens
tyll
he
had
atchyued
his
enterprise
.
Thus
the
pope
coude
nat
issue
out
of
the
palays
/
there
was
suche
watche
layde
on
hym
.
THe
conclusyon
was
/
whan
this
Benedyc
sawe
that
he
was
so
straytely
kepte
/
and
that
fyre
fayled
hym
/
and
other
prouysions
dayly
dyscreased
/
and
sawe
that
no
comforte
nor
ayde
came
to
hym
fro
no
parte
/
at
laste
he
yelded
/
at
the
request
of
certayne
of
the
cardynalles
/
and
the
treatie
was
thus
/
that
he
shulde
nat
departe
out
of
Auignon
tyll
there
were
made
an
vnyon
in
the
churche
/
and
a
certayne
garde
was
sette
aboute
hym
/
and
the
cardynalles
and
ryche
men
of
Auignon
bounde
them selfe
to
kepe
this
Benedyc
so
strayte
/
that
they
shulde
rendre
accompte
of
hym
agayne
/
outher
quycke
or
dede
.
Suche
cardynals
as
had
their
benefyces
in
Fraunce
tooke
great
payne
to
make
this
treatie
and
composycion
/
for
they
sayde
all
with
one
accorde
/
that
they
wolde
abyde
with
the
frenche
kynge
.
Thus
this
busynesse
ended
at
that
tyme
/
and
euery
man
departed
/
and
the
Marshall
went
to
Parys
/
and
anone
after
he
ordeyned
him
to
go
in
to
the
realme
of
Hungery
/
for
the
kynge
of
Hungery
had
written
to
the
frenche
kynge
howe
Lamorabaquy
assembled
great
puyssaunce
of
men
of

and

/
and
of

other
of
his

to

.
The

season
beynge
at
Paris
in
the
house
of
Clyssone
/
nere
to
the
temple
/
was
wyllynge
to
go
in
to
Hungery
/
whiche
shulde
be
the
lesse
coste
to
the
Frenche
kynge
/
for
he
had
euery
weke
redy
payed
him
fyue
hundred
crownes
of
golde
/
and
the
erle
thought
hym selfe
moche
bounde
to
the
frenche
kynge
for
that
grace
/
and
whan
that
tydynges
came
fro
the
kynge
of
Hungery
in
to
Fraunce
/
the
erle
of
Derby
entended
well
to
that
mater
/
and
thought
in
hym selfe
that
voyage
to
be
ryght
honourable
for
hym
to
passe
his
tyme
there
/
wherby
he
shulde
the
lightlyer
forget
the
tyme
of
his

/
and
spake
to
them
of
his
specyall
counsayle
/
and
they
counsayled
hym
to
go
in
that
voyage
/
so
that
he
knewe
fyrst
the
duke
of
Lancastre
(
his

pleasure
in
that
behalfe
.
Than
the
erle
one

his

called
Dinorth
in
to
Englande
/
to
knowe
his

pleasure
.
This
knyght
came
in
to
Englande

and
founde
the
duke
of
Lancastre
at
a
Castell
a
twenty
myle
fro
London
/
called
Hertforde
.
There
he
shewed
hym
his

entente
.
And
whan
the
duke
vnderstode
the
mynde
of
the

his

/
and
the
good
wyll
that
he
had
to

Whan

he
caused

And
whan
the
londoners
knewe
the
cause
of

The

redde

a

and
syr
Dinorth

whiche
shuld

these
wordes
gretly
letted

Syr

With

The

kyng
Rycharde

in

nat

his
cosyn
th
erle

howe
be
it
the
erle
knewe
it
as
soone
as
the
Frenche
kynge
or
soner
/
by
suche
men
as
he
had
in
Englande
.
Than
the
erle
apparelled
hym
and
all
his
men
in
blacke
/
and
caused
his
obsequy
to
be
done
right
honorably
/
at
the
whiche
was
the
Frenche
kyng
and
his
brother
the
duke
of
Orlyaunce
/
and
all
the
kynges
vncles
/
with
a
great
nombre
of
prelates
and
great
lordes
of
Fraunce
.
For
the
erle
of
Derby
was
welbeloued
with
euery
man
/
and
many
were
right
sorie
of
his
trouble
/
for
he
was
a
pleasaunt
knight
and
an
honest
person
/
curtesse
and
swete
/
&
meke
to
euery
man
/
and
euery
man
that
sawe
hym
said
/
howe
the
kyng
of
Englande
was
nat
well
counsayled
/
that
he
repealed
/
hym
nat
home
agayne
.
And
truely
to
saye
trouthe
/
if
the
kynge
of
Englande
had
wysely
regarded
the
mater
/
and
had
ben
well
counsayled
/
the
mater
had
nat
tourned
agaynst
hym
as
it
dyde
.
For
the
erle
of
Derby
/
after
the
dethe
of
his
father
/
was
right
enherytoure
to
be
duke
of
Lancastre
/
and
to
haue
been
the
seconde
persone
of
the
realme
/
and
by
whom
all
the
busynesse
of
the
realme
shulde
chiefely
haue
passed
.
Also
the
kynge
and
his
counsayle
ought
to
haue
consydred
/
howe
often
tymes
the
people
of
Englande
hadde
styrred
and
murmured
agaynst
hym
:
and
shulde
haue
knowen
/
howe
he
was
nat
very
welbeloued
of
the
people
/
nor
of
some
knightes
/
&
other
:
and
how
that
in
the
duke
of
Gloucesters
dayes
/
he
was
often
tymes
in
daunger
of
his
persone
.
As
whan
the
Londoners
and
the
counsaylles
of
dyuers
good
townes
in
Englande
came
to
hym
to
Eltham
/
and
there
made
their
requestes
/
that
all
subsidies
and
ayes
gyuen
and
graunted
within
twentie
yere
/
shulde
haue
ben
frustrate
and
fordone
/
or
els
they
were
determyned
by
the
consent
of
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
/
and
other
noble
men
of
the
Realme
/
to
haue
taken
the
kynge
and
to
haue
sette
another
to
haue
reygned
in
his
place
/
and
to
haue
putte
the
kyng
and
the
Quene
in
to
a
place
/
and
so
to
haue
hadde
meate
and
drinke
as
long
as
they
had
lyued
.
In
somoche
/
that
the
duke
of
Gloucester
hadde
desyred
a
nephewe
of
his
/
sonne
to
the
doughter
of
the
duke
of
Clarence
/
who
was
called
Iohan
erle
of
Marche
:
That
he
wolde
haue
taken
on
hym
the
charge
and
gouernyng
of
the
realme
/
and
that
they
wolde
haue
made
hym
kyng
.
But
the
same
erle
excused
hym selfe
honestly
therfro
.
All
these
thynges
were
apeased
and
layde
downe
/
by
the
wyse
sadde
meanes
and
prudence
of
the
sayde
duke
of
Lancastre
/
father
to
this
sayd
erle
of
Derby
.
IF
kyng
Richarde
had
wysely
consydred
all
these
mats
/
he
had
reigned
in
gretter
ꝓsperite
than
euer
he
did
before
.
Kyng
Richarde
knewe
all
this
well
ynough
/
and
so
by
yuell
counsayle
the
kynge
caused
by
colour
of
loue
/
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
to
be
taken
and
ledde
to
Calays
/
where
he
was
strangled
and
murdered
.
Wherof
great
brute
was
throughe
out
all
the
realme
with
great
grudge
and
murmuracyons
/
so
that
it
was
at
the
poynt
to
haue
deposed
the
sayde
kyng
Richarde
.
Howe
be
it
the
duke
of
Lancastre
lyke
a
sage
and
a
prudent
price
for
all
that
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
was
his
brother
/
and
that
the
murderyng
of
hym
touched
hym
nere
to
his
herte
.
All
thynges
consyred
/
and
that
he
coude
nat
recouer
agayne
his
brother
/
wisely
and
amiably
he
apeased
all
these
maters
.
And
the
kynge
his
nephue
more
feared
in
Englande
than
he
was
before
.
All
this
the
kynge
ought
to
haue
consydred
/
and
specially
howe
th
erle
of
Derby
was
better
beloued

All

Lancastre

the

shulde
haue
repealed
th

Derby
agayne
in

but
the

had
no
mynde

to
do

dyd
clene

contrary

for
incontynent
he
sente
his

in
to
all
the
duke
of
Lancasters
landes
and
toke
the

therof
to
hym selfe

and
sayd

stode

that
he
nor
none
of

shulde
receyue
any
reuenues
of
any
landes
within
the

of

.
And
moreouer
(
wherof
the
kyng
was
greatly
blamed
of
suche
as
loued
the
erle
and
his
chyldren
)
The
kyng
gaue
awaye
landes
parteynynge
to
the
herytage
of
the
duchy
of
Lancastre
to
some
of
his
seruauntes
/
suche
as
asked
them
for
the
whiche
cause
/
many
knyghtes
&
other
in
Englande
spake
and
said
.
The
kyng
sheweth
well
that
he
oweth
no
good
wyll
to
his
cosyn
the
erle
of
Derby
/
sythe
he
wyll
nat
repeale
hym
home
agayne
:
and
suffre
his
landes
to
be
gyuen
awaye
/
where
as
th
erle
and
his
chyldren
shulde
be
great
membres
in
Englande
/
&
a
good
staffe
for
the
kyng
to
leane
by
.
But
he
dothe
the
contrary
/
for
he
driueth
hym
awaye
/
&
so
wyll
kepe
hym
in
this
daunger
and
worse
if
he
coude
.
For
he
hath
taken
to
hym selfe
his
heritage
/
and
causeth
his
offycers
to
medell
with
the
dukes
landes
/
as
thoughe
they
were
his
owne
.
And
if
that
poore
tenauntes
complayne
of
the
iniuryes
done
to
them
in
their
lordes
absence
/
they
can
nat
be
harde
:
there
is
none
that
wyll
do
them
right
Also
it
is
but
a
small
token
of
loue
/
that
the
kyng
beareth
to
the
erle
of
Derby
and
to
his
chyldren
/
for
their
herytage
of
Lancastre
whiche
shulde
come
to
them
by
right
enherytaunce
/
discended
fro
their
grandame
the
lady
Blanche
/
doughter
to
duke
Henry
of
Lancastre
.
The
kyng
gyueth
parte
therof
away
where
as
it
pleaseth
hym
/
&
suche
landes
as
shulde
fall
to
them
by
the
right
of
the
lady
their
mother
/
who
was
doughter
to
the
erle
of
Herforde
and
Northampton
/
and
constable
of
Englande
.
The
kynge
gyueth
parte
therof
at
his

.
This
is
to
moche
done
against
all
ryght

reason
/
and
to
the
displeasure
of
all
the

men
of

this
can
nat

vnamended

Thus
the
prelates

noble

communed

murmured
.
IN
lykewise
in
the
realme
of

/
suche

as

spekynge

As

the

takenne

the

is

a

meke
/
and

a

be

The

knoweth
some
other
thynge
by

than
we
do
/
or
elles
the
kynge
is
yuell
counsayled

And
it
is
marueyle
/
that
the
Frenche
kynge
and
his
brother
the

of
Orlyaunce
/
and
the
kynges
vncles
/
do
nat
attemper

They
shulde
fynde

in

/
for
the
kynge
of

wyll
do
more
for
than
than
for
any

/
bicause

maried

But
sythe
they
do
nothynge
therin
/
it
is
best
we
holde
oure
peace
and
lette
it
passe
.
As
for
the
Frenche
kynge
&
his
brother
and
his
vncles
/
thought
nothyng
but
good
.
They
honoured
and
loued
greatly
the
erle
of
Derby
/
and
desyred
moche
his
company
:
and
they
sawe
well
he
was
a
wydower
and
to
marry
/
and
that
the
duke
of
Berry
hadde
a
doughter
a
wydowe
of
two
husbandes
/
she
was
but
yonge
of
a
xxiii
.
yere
of
age
/
&
was
named
Mary
.
Her
fyrst
husbande
was
Loys
of
Bloys
who
died
yonge
:
and
her
seconde
husbande
was
the
lorde
Philyppe
of
Arthoys
erle
of
Ewe
/
who
died
in
his
retourne
in
Hungry
:
as
ye
haue
herde
here
before
.
This
maryage
was
at
apoynt
to
haue
concluded
/
for
they
in
Fraunce
knewe
well
that
the
duke
of
Lancastre
was
a
great
enherytoure
in
Englande
/
and
the
Frenche
kynge
was
well
pleased
therwith
/
bycause
his
doughter
was
Quene
of
Englande
.
for
he
thought
that
the
company
of
those
two
ladyes
togyder
shulde
be
great
pleasure
to
them
bothe
/
sythe
they
were
so
nere

.
And
therby
the
two
realmes
of
Fraunce
and
Englande
/
shulde
be
the
surer
conioyned
toguyder
in
loue
and
peace
/
whiche
was
trewe
/
if
it
might
haue
been
accomplysshed

but
kyng
Richarde

his

all

The
whiche
fortune
of
this
kynge
Richarde
was
so
marueylous
/
that
it
is
harde
to

The

This

ANone
it

knowen
in

howe

conteynyng
howe
the

was
falsely
periued
and
a

.
Of
the
whiche
dyuers
noble
men
and
prelates
were
sore
troubled
/
and
were
nothynge
contente
with
the
erle
of

/
and
said
generally
/
that
he
was
soore
to

the

to

A

wyll
come
that

/
that

ye
maye
well
knowe
/
the
Londoners
were
greatly
displeased

and
murmured
agaynst

sayd
.
A

It
is
nat
suffycient
for
the

to

/
but
also
to
accuse
you
of
trayson
/
to

&
rebuke
.
Well

Alas

What

This

Thus

letters
were

they
were

the
kyng
dyd
repeale
them
agayne

This
was
publysshed
through
out
all
the
cyties
and
good
townes
of
Englande
/
and
specyally
in
London
/
wherof

londoners
had
great
marueyle

they
coulde
nat
knowe
iustly
for
what
cause
it
was

for

reputed
for
noble

valyaunt

within

it
commeth
by
some
of
the
kynges
counsayle

hateth

counsayle
wyll
distroy
the
kyng
at
last

peraduenture
the
erle

his

haue
spoken
some
wordes
vpon
the
kynge

his
counsayle

for
the
yuell
gouernynge
of
the
realme

&
coulde
nat
be
herde
though
they
said
the
trouth
/
and
for
their
true
sayeng
nowe
they
be
punisshed
/
but
we
thinke
herafter
they
wyll
be
punysshed
that
nowe
iudge
them
.
Thus
the
londoners
and
other
spake
of
this
mater

The
erle
had
a
brother

valiaunt
knight

Thomas
percy

who
had
of
a
longe
tyme
done
many
noble
seruyces
to

kynge
of
Englande

whan
the
erle
knewe
that
he
and
his
sonne
were
banysshed
the
realme
/
he
toke
it
for
an
vnreasonable
punysshment
without
cause
.
Than
he
sente
for
all
his
frendes
in
the
countrey
/
suche
as
he
coulde
get
togyther
/
for
many
of
his
lygnage
were
with
the
kynge
to
go
in
to
Irelande
.
The
erle
toke
counsayle
of
them
what
was
best
to
do
sythe
the
kynge
had
banysshed
hym
without
cause
.
Than
he
was
counsayled
to
sende
in
to
the
realme
of
Scotlande
/
and
to
desyre
the
king
there
that
he
and
his
sonne
might
abyde
peasably
in
Scotlande
/
tyll
the
kynge
of
Englande
were
apeased
of
his
dyspleasure
.
Thus
th
erle
sent
to
kynge
Robert
of
Scotlande
/
and
the
kyng
&
the
erle
Archambalt
Duglas
/
and
the
other
lordes
of
Scotlande
condiscendyd

In

THus

fynally
whan

Guillyam

who
what
for

toke
on
him
the
vyage
to
brynge
the

Englande
with
four
hundred
men
of

and
so
aryued
in
Englande

and
by
the
ayde
of
the
londoners
the
quene
atchyued
her
enterprise

for
without
their
ayde
it
wolde
haue
ben
hard

and
so
kynge
Edwarde

Edwarde

All
this
the
londoners
ryght
well
remembred

for
they
that
were
yonge
herde
this
reported
of
their
elders

and
some
founde
it
in

and
they
sayd
secretly
one
to
a nother
.
Our
fathers
and
antecessours
of
olde
tyme
prouyded
for
these
greate
mischiefes
/
and
we
thinke
there
was
neuer
greater
cause
than
nowe
at
this
present
tyme
/
for
suffer
this
kyng
Rycharde
to
haue
his

he
wyll
waste

dystroy
all

for
sythe
he
was
kynge
there
hath
nat
been
in
Englande
suche
prosperyte
as
was
before
/
he
sheweth
nat
that
the
prince
of
Wales
shulde
be
his
father

for
if
he
had
/
he
wolde
haue
folowed
his
condicions

haue
taken
great
pleasure
in
his
prowes

nat
to
lyue
in
reste

ease
as
he
dothe

for
he
loueth
nothynge

sporte

ydelnesse
with

and
to
be
alwayes
in

and
to
beleue
men
of

reputacyon
/
and
to
gather
great
rychesse
/
and
distroy
the
realme

whiche
thynges

And
bycause
that
valyaunt
man
the
duke

Gloucestre
sawe
clerely
that
the

in
Englande
went
nat
as
they
shulde

sawe
howe

THus
the
londoners
communded
togyder
/
and
nat
al
onely
they
/
but
also
in
dyuers
other
places
of
the
realme
/
but
the
chyefe
murmuracyon
that
the
people
were
in
/
was
by
the
first
set
rynge
on
of
them
of
London
/
for
the
commons
of
London
were
as
chefe
/
and
by
them
lyghtly
all
other
commons
wold
be
ruled
/
and
vpon
the
myschiefe
that
they
sawe
apparaunt
in
Englande
/
they
had
dyuers
secrete
counsayles
to gyther
/
and
with
them
certayne
prelates
and
other
knyghtes
of
the
realme
/
and
they
concluded
to
sende
in
to
Fraunce
for
the
erle
of
Derby
/
and
were
determyned
whan
he
were
come
to
shewe
hym
the
yuell
gouernynge
of
kynge
Rycharde
/
and
to
put
to
hym
the
crowne

gouernynge
of
the

and
so
to
make
hym
kynge
and
his
heyres
for
euer
so
that
he
wyll
kepe
the
realme
in
all
good
vsages
.
Than
it
was
thought
that
he
that
shulde
go
in
that
message
must
be
a
wyse
man
and
of
good
credence
/
for
they
thought
it
shulde
be
a
great
mater
to
gette
the
erle
of
Derby
out
of
Fraunce
/
for
they
said
that
for
any
symple
wordes
of
a
meane
messanger
/
or
for
any
letters
/
he
wolde
gyue
no
faythe
there
to
/
but
rather
thynke
it
shulde
be
to
betraye
hym
.
Than
the
archebysshoppe
of
Caunterbury
a
man
of
honoure
and
prudence
/
was
desyred
to
do
that
message
/
who
for
the
common
profyte
of
the
realme
acorded
to
go
at
their
desyres
/
and
ordeyned
for
his
departure
so
wysely
that
none
knewe
therof
/
but
suche
as
ought
to
knowe
it
/
and
so
he
toke
a
shyppe
at
London
/
and
but
seuen
all
onely
with
hym
/
and
so
past
without
any
parell
and
came
to
Sluse
in
Flaunders
/
and
fro
thens
to
Ardenbourge
/
and
so
to
Gaunte
/
to
And
warpe
/
to
Athe
the
in
Brabant
/
&
to
Conde
/
and
so
to
Valencennes
/
and
there
toke
his
lodgynge
at
the
signe
of
the
Swanne
in
the
market
place
/
and
there
taryed
a
thre
dayes
/
and
refressed
himselfe
.
He
rode
nat
lyke
no
bysshop
but
lyke
a
monke
pylgryme
/
and
dyscouered
to
no
man
what
he
was
nor
what
he
entended
to
do
.
The
fourth
day
he
departed
and
toke
a
man
to
be
his
guyde
to
Parys
/
sayenge
howe
he
wolde
go
a
pylgrymage
to
saint
More
.
He
dyd
so
moch
that
he
came
thyder
where
as
the
erle
of
Derby
was
at
a
place
called
vyncetour
besyde
Parys
.
Whan
the
erle
of
Derby
sawe
the
bysshop
of
Caunterbury
commynge
to
him
/
his
herte
and
spyrites
reioysed
/
and
so
dyd
all
suche
as
were
aboute
him
/
for
he
thought
well
than
to
here
some
newes
oute
of
Englande
.
The
bysshoppe
shewed
nat
as
than
the
cause
of
his
commynge
/
but
dissymuled
bycause
euery
man
shuld
nat
knowe
his
entent
/
and
therfore
to
couer
his
busynesse
/
he
sayd
openly
/
he
was
come
on
pylgrymage
to
saynt
Mors.
All
suche
as
were
aboute
the
erle
thought
it
had
ben
so
.
Whan
the
bysshop
sawe
his
tyme
he
toke
a
parte
the
erle
of
Derby
alone
in
to
a
chambre

closed

Than
the
bysshop
shewed
the
erle

debylyte
of
the

of
the
desolacyon
therof

and
howe
iustyce
had
no

howe
certayne
valyaunt
men

prelates
/
with
the
londoners
and
other
ingenerall

had
deuised
a
remedy

and
for
that
cause
he
was
sente
thyder
to
hym
/
to
desyre
him
to
retourne
in
to
Englande
/
and
they
wolde
make
hym
kynge
/
bycause
that
Rycharde
of
Burdeaulx
had
doone
and
consented
to
be
done
so
many
yuell
dedes
that
all
the
people
sorowed
it
/
and
are
redy
to
ryse
agaynst
hym
.
and
therfore
syr
nowe
is
the
tyme
or
neuer
/
for
you
to
seke
for
your
delyueraunce
and
profyte
/
and

of
the
whiche
many
valyaunt

were
sore
dyspleased
therwith

if
they
coude
amended
it

but
they
durst
neuer
speke

But
bycause
the
kynge
hath
yuell
vsed
hym selfe
agaynst
you

agaynst
your

the

¶
Nowe
let
vs
retourne
to
speke
of
kynge
Richarde
.
WHan
the
duke
of
Lancastre
had
set
his
cosyn
kyng
Richard
in
the
towre
of
London
/
and
certayne
of
his
counsaylours
/
and
had
sette
sure
kepynge
on
them
.
The
fyrst
thyng
than
that
the
duke
/
he
sent
for
the
erle
of
Warwyke
/
who
was
banysshed
and
commaunded
to
lye
in
the
ysle
of
Wyght
/
and
discharged
hym
clene
therof
.
&
secondly
the
duke
of
Lancastre
sent
to
th
erle
of
Northumberlande
and
to
the
lorde
Percy
his
sonne
/
that
they
shulde
come
to
hym
/
and
so
they
dyde
.
After
he
enquered
and
sought
out
to
haue
the
foure
companyons
that
had
strangled
his
vncle
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
in
the
castell
of
Calais
.
They
were
so
well
sought
out
/
that
they
were
all
taken
:
They
were
sette
in
prisone
aparte
in
London
.
than
the
duke
of
Lancastre
and
his
counsayle
toke
aduyse
what
shulde
be
done
with
kyng
Richarde
beyng
in
the
towre
of
London
/
where
as
kyng
Iohan
of
Fraunce
was
kept
/
whyle
kynge
Edwarde
wente
in
to
the
Realme
of
Fraunce
.
Than
it
was
thought
that
king
Rycharde
shuld
be
put
fro
all
his
royalte
and
ioy
that
he
hath
lyued
in
/
for
they
sayd
/
the
newes
of
his
takynge
shulde
sprede
abrode
in
to
all
realmes
crystened
.
He
had
been
kynge
.xxii.
yere
/
and
as
than
they
determined
to
kepe
him
in
prisone
.
Than
they
regarded
what
case
the
realme
stode
in
/
and
dyd
put
all
his
dedes
in
artycles
to
the
nombre
of
.xxviii.
Than
the
duke
of
Lancastre
and
his
counsayle
went
to
the
towre
of
London
/
and
entred
in
to
the
chambre
where
kynge
Rycharde
was
/
and
without
any
reuerence
makynge
to
hym
/
there
was
openly
redde
all
the
said
artycles
/
to
the
whiche
the
kynge
made
none
aunswere
/
for
he
sawe
well
all
was
true
that
was
layde
to
his
charge
/
sauynge
he
sayd
/
all
that
I
haue
doone
passed
by
my
counsayle
.
Than
he
was
demaunded
what
they
were
that
had
gyuen
counsayle
/
and
by
whome
he
was
most
ruled
/
he
named
them
in
trust
therby
to
haue
ben
delyuered
himselfe
in
accusynge
of
them
/
as
he
had
doone
before
tyme
/
trustynge
therby
to
scape
/
and
to
bringe
them
in
the
daunger
and
payne
/
but
that
was
nat
the
mynde
of
them
that
loued
hym
nat
.
so
as
at
that
tyme
they
spake
no
more
but
departed
/
and
the
duke
of
Lancastre
went
to
his
lodgynge
/
and
suffred
the
mayre
and
the
men
of
lawe
to
procede
.
They
went
to
the
Guyldhall
/
where
as
all
the
maters
of
the
cytie
were
determyned
/
and
than
moche
people
assembled
there
.
Whan
they
sawe
the
gouernours
of
the
cytie
go
thyder
/
they
thought
some
iustice
shulde
be
done
/
as
there
was
in
dede
.
I
shall
shewe
you
howe
.
Fyrste
the
artycles
that
were
made
agaynst
the
kynge
/
the
whiche
had
been
redde
before
hym
in
the
towre
/
were
redde
agayne
there
openly
.
And
it
was
shewed
by
hym
that
redde
them
/
howe
the
kynge
hymselfe
denyed
none
of
them
/
but
confessed
that
he
dyd
theym
by
the
counsayle
of
four
knightes
of
his
chambre
/
and
howe
by
their
counsayle
he
had
put
to
dethe
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
and
the
erle
of
Arundell
/
sir
Thomas
Corbet
/
and
other
/
and
howe
they
had
longe
encyted
the
kynge
to
do
those
dedes
/
whiche
dedes
they
sayd
were
nat
to
be
forgyuen
/
but
demaunded
punycion
/
for
by
them
and
their
counsayle
the
iustyce
of
right
was
closed
vp
through
all
the
courtes
of
Englande
/
Westmynster
/
and
other
/
wherby
many
yuell
dedes
folowed
/
and
companyes
and
rowtes
of
theues
and
murderers
rose
and
assembled
togyther
in
dyuers
parties
of
the
realme
/
and
robbed
marchauntes
by
the
wayes
and
poore
men
in
their
houses
/
by
whiche
meanes
the
realme
was
in
great
parell
to
haue
ben
lost
/
without
recouery
.
and
it
is
to
be
ymagyned
that
fynally
the
wolde
haue
rendred
Calais
or
Guysnes
/
or
bothe
in
to
the
frenchmennes
handes
.
These
wordes
thus
shewed
to
the
people
made
many
to
be
abasshed
/
and
many
beganne
to
murmure
and
sayd
.
These
causes
demaunde
punycion
/
that
all
other
may
take
ensample
therby
/
and
Rycharde
of
Burdeaur
to
be
deposed
/
for
he
is
nat
worthy
to
beare
a
crowne
/
but
ought
to
be
depriued
fro
all
honour
/
and
to
be
kept
all
his
lyfe
in
prison
with
breed
and
water
.
Though
some
of
the
villaynes
murmured
/
other
said
on
hygh
.
sir
mayre
of
London
/
and
ye
other
that
haue
iustyce
in
your
handes
to
mynyster
/
execute
iustyce
/
for
we
wyll
ye
spare
no
man
/
for
ye
se
well
the
case
that
ye
haue
shewed
vs
demaundeth
iustyce
in
contynent
/
for
they
are
iudges
vpon
their
owne
dedes
.
Than
the
mayre
and
other
of
the
gouernours
of
the
lawe
went
togyther
in
to
the
chambre
of
iudgement
.
than
these
four
knyghtes
were
iudged
to
dye
/
and
were
iudged
to
be
had
to
the
foote
of
the
towre
where
as
kynge
Richarde
was
/
that
he
might
se
them
drawen
alonge
by
the
dyke
with
horses
eche
after
other
/
throughe
the
cytie
in
to
chepesyde
/
and
than
there
heedes
stryken
of
there
/
and
sette
vpon
London
bridge
/
and
there
bodyes
drawen
to
the
gybet
and
there
hanged
.
THis
iudgement
gyuen
they
were
delyuered
to
execucyon
/
for
the
mayre
of
London
and
suche
as
were
deputed
to
the
mater
/
wente
fro
the
Guyldhall
to
the
towre
/
and
toke
out
the
four
knyghtes
of
the
kynges
/
whose
names
were
called
sir
Bernarde
Brokas
/
syr
Marelays
/
mayster
Iohn
Derby
receyuour
of
Lyncolne
/
and
mayster
Stell
the
kynges
stewarde
.
Eche
of
them
were
tyed
to
two
horses
/
in
the
presence
of
them
that
were
in
the
towre
/
and
the
kynge
myght
well
se
it
out
at
the
wyndowes
/
wherwith
he
was
sore
descomforted
/
for
all
other
that
were
there
with
the
kynge
loked
to
be
in
the
same
case
/
they
knewe
them
of
London
so
cruell
.
Thus
these
four
knyghtes
were
drawen
one
after
another
a
longe
through
the
cyte
tyll
they
came
in
to
chepe
/
and
there
on
a
fysshers
stall
their
heedes
were
stryken
of
and
set
vpon
London
bridge
/
and
their
bodyes
drawen
by
the
shulders
to
the
gybet
/
and
there
hanged
vp
.
This
iustyce
thus
doone
/
euery
man
went
to
their
lodgynges
.
Kynge
Rycharde
knowyng
him selfe
taken
/
and
in
the
daunger
of
the
londoners
was
in
great
sorowe
in
his
herte
/
and
rekened
his
puyssaunce
nothynge
/
for
he
sawe
howe
euery
man
was
agaynste
hym
.
and
if
there
were
any
that
ought
hym
any
fauour
/
it
laye
nat
than
in
their
powers
to
do
hym
any
ayde
/
nor
they
durste
nat
shewe
it
.
Suche
as
were
with
the
kynge
sayde
.
Syr
/
we
haue
but
small
trust
in
our
lyues
as
it
may
well
apere
/
for
whan
your
cosyn
of
Lancastre
came
to
the
castell
of
Flynte
/
and
with
your
owne
good
wyll
ye
yelded
you
to
hym
/
and
he
promysed
that
you
and
twelue
of
yours
shuld
be
his
prisoners
and
haue
no
hurte
/
and
nowe
of
those
twelue
four
be
executed
shamfully
/
we
are
like
to
passe
the
same
way
.
The
cause
is
/
these
londoners
/
who
hath
caused
the
duke
of
Lancastre
your
cosyn
to
do
this
dede
/
had
hym
so
sore
bounde
to
them
that
he
muste
do
as
they
wyll
haue
hym
.
God
dothe
moche

if
he
suffre
that
we
myght

here
our
naturall
deth
/
and
nat
a
shamfull
dethe
.
It
is
great
pytie
to
thynke
on
this
.
With
those
wordes
kyng
Rycharde
began
tenderly
to
wepe
and
wringe
his
handes
/
and
cursed
the
houre
that
euer
he
was
borne
/
rather
than
to
haue
suche
an
ende
.
Suche
as
were
aboute
hym
had
great

recomforted

One

Than
euery
man
departed
and
went
to
their
lodginges
.
thus
the
day
passed
of
kynge
Henryes
coronacyon
with
great
ioy
and
feest
/
whiche
endured
all
the
next
day
.
The
erle
of
Salysbury
was
nat
at
this
solempnyte
for
he
was
in
sure
prison
/
and
the
kinges
counsayle

other

men
/
and
the
londoners
/
wolde
that
his

shulde

reporte
openly
that
kyng

whiche
faute
they

Kyng

Thus

Cap.

.
WHan
the
lady
of
Coucy
was
aryued
at
Bouloyne
/
she
hasted
her
to
go
to
Parys
.
Great
murmurynge
there
was
in
Fraunce
of
the
sodayne
incidentes
that
were
fall
in
Englande
/
they
knewe
somwhat
by
marchauntes
of
Bruges
/
but
whan
the

aryued
/
than
the
trouth
was
knowen
.
She
went
firste
to
her
husbandes
house
/
as
it
was
reason

Anon
the
frenche
kynge
herde
worde
howe
the
lady
of
Coucy
was
come
to
Parys
/
Than
the
kynge
sent
for
the
lorde
of
Coucy
/
who
had
ben
all

Whan

the
kynge
demaunded
of
the
state
of
kynge
Rycharde
of
Englande
/
and
of
the

his

.
The
lorde
durst
nat
hyde
the
trouth
fro
hym
/
but
shewed
hym
playnely
euery
thynge
/
as
his
wyfe
had
shewed
hym
/
whiche
newes
were
sore
dyspleasaunt
to
the
frenche
kynge
/
for
he
knewe
well
the
englysshmen
were
sore
&
harde
men
to
apease
/
and
so
with
dyspleasure
the
frenche
kynge
retourned
agayne
in
to
his
olde
sicknes
of
fransey
/
wherof
the
nobles
of
that
realme
were
sore
displeased
but
they
coude
nat
amende
it
.
Than
the
duke
of
Burgoyn
said
/
I
thought
neuer
otherwyse
for
it
was
a
maryage
without
good
reasone
/
the
whiche
I
sayd
playnly
ynough
whan
the

was
fyrst
spoken
of
/
but
as

I
coulde
nat
be
herde
/
for
I
knewe
well
the
londoners
neuer
loued
parfytely
kynge
Rycharde
.
All
this
myschefe
is
engendred
by
the

of
Gloucestre
/
it
is
tyme
nowe
to
take
hede
what
the

sythe

by
all
lykelyhode

bycause

/
he

sayd
moreouer
/
nowe
shall
be

what
they
of
Burdeaux
wyll
do
/
for
there
he
was
borne
/
and
was
well
be
loued
with
them
and
also
with
them
of
Bayon
&
of
Dax
/
and
in
all
the
lymytes
of
Burdeloys
/
it
were
good
that
that
constable
of
Fraunce
sir
Loys
of
Sanxere
were
signyfyed
of
this
mater
/
and
that
he
drewe
hym
to
that
fronters
there
/
&
with
him
syr
Raynolde
of
Barroys
of
Barreys
and
other
barones
and
prelates
and
to
treate
with
them
and
my
brother
the
duke
of
Berrey
to
go
in
to
Poictou
/
&
to
drawe
to
the
fronters
of
Xaintes
/
of
Blaues
/
and
of
mirebell
/
wherby
if
they
of
Burdeaux
wyll
any
thynge
entende
to
our
treaties
/
that
they
may
be
receyued
/
for
nowe
shall
we
haue
them
or
neuer
.
As
he
deuysed
it
was
ordeyned
/
the
whiche
was
a
substanciall
deuyce
.
for
whan
they
of
Burdeaux
/
of
Bayon
/
and
of
Dax
/
vnderstode
that
their
kynge
Rycharde
was
taken
and
sette
in
the
towre
of
London
/
and
duke
Henry
of
Lancastre
crowned
kyng
/
they
had
gret
marueyle
therof
/
and
in
the
begynnyng
wolde
nat
beleue
it
/
but
lytle
&
lytle
they
knewe
the
trouth
therof
.
Than
the
sayd
thre
townes
were
closed
and
no
man
suffred
to
issue
out
nor
to
entre
in
/
they
were
sore
troubled
and
sorowfull
/
and
specyally
the
cytie
of
Burdeaux
/
for
kynge
Rycharde
was
norysshed
amonge
them
/
therfore
they
loued
hym
/
and
whyle
he
was
kynge
if
any
of
Burdeloys
came
to
hym
they
were
well
receyued
/
and
alwayes
the
kinge
was
redy
to
fulfyll
their
desyres
/
wherfore
they
sayd
whan
they
knewe
the
trouth
.
Ah
Richarde
gentle
kyng
/
ye
were
as
noble
a
man
as
euer
reigned
in
any
realme
/
this
trouble
that
londoners
haue
caused
/
for
they
coulde
neuer
loue
you
/
specyall
sythe
ye
were
alyed
by
maryage
with
the
frenche
kyng
/
this
myschiefe
is
so
great
that
we
can
nat
suffre
it
?
They
haue
holden
you
kynge
this
.xxii.
yere
/
and
nowe
to
condempe
you
to
the
dethe
/
for
sythe
ye
be
in
prison
&
haue
crowned
the
duke
of
Lancastre
/
they
wyll
surely
put
you
to
deth
.
So
they
of
Burdeloys
made
great
lamentacyons
/
in
so
moche
that
the
seneschall
of
Burdeaux
a
ryght
valyaunt
knyght
of
Englande
wrote
letters
/
therin
conteynynge
the
wordes
and
lamentacyons
of
them
of
the
cytie
of
Burdeaulx
/
of
Bayon
/
and
of
Dax
.
Also
he
wrote
howe
they
were
nere
at
the
poynte
to
yelde
vp
their
townes
to
the
frenche
kyng
.
He
sent
this
lettre
by
a
trusty
seruaunt
of
his
by
the
see
/
who
had
good
wynde
and
aryued
at
Cornewayle
in
Englande
/
and
than
he
rode
so
longe
that
he
came
to
London
/
there
he
founde
kynge
Henry
and
delyuered
his
letters
/
whiche
were
dyrected
to
the
kynge
and
to
the
londoners
.
They
were
opened
and
reed
/
and
the
kynge
and
the
londoners
tooke
counsayle
vpon
that
mater
.
They
of
London
aunswered
lyke
theym
that
were
nothyng
abasshed
of
that
tydynges
/
but
sayde
/
as
for
these
townes
wyll
neuer
tourne
frenche
/
for
they
can
nat
lyue
in
their
daunger
nor
they
canne
nat
suffre
the
extorcion
and
pollinge
of
the
frenchmen
/
for
vnder
vs
they
lyue
franke
and
free
/
and
if
the
frenche
men
shulde
be
lordes
ouer
them
/
they
shulde
be
taxed
and
tayled
/
&
retayled
two
or
thre
tymes
in
a
yere
/
the
whiche
they
are
nat
nowe
acustomed
vnto
whiche
shulde
be
a
harde
thyng
nowe
for
them
to
begynne
.
Also
these
thre
cyties
are
closed
in
rounde
about
with
great
lordes
/
who
are
good
englysshe
/
and
longe
haue
been
/
as
the
lorde
Pyuiers
/
the
lorde
Musydent
/
the
lorde
Duras
/
the
lorde
Landuras
/
the
lorde
Copane
/
the
lorde
Rosem
/
the
lorde
Logeren
/
and
dyuers
other
barones
and
knyghtes
/
by
whome
they
shulde
haue
warre
at
their
handes
/
for
they
shulde
nat
issue
out
of
their
cities
but
they
shulde
be
taken
.
For
all
the
seneschalles
wrytynge
we
haue
no
doute
that
they
shulde
become
frenche
/
howe
be
it
/
good
it
is
to
sende
thyder
some
valyaunt
wyse
man
that
is
beloued
amonge
theym
/
some
suche
as
hath
gouerned
there
or
this
/
and
that
is
the
lorde
Thomas
Percy
.
Thus
as
it
was
deuysed
it
was
acomplysshed
/
he
was
desyred
to
go
thyder
/
and
to
take
hede
of
that
countrey
.
He
fulfylled
the
kynges
commaundement
/
and
made
hym
redy
to
departe
.
it
was
about
Christmasse
/
at
whiche
tyme
the
wyndes
be
sore
and
ieoperdous
/
he
toke
shyppynge
in
Cornewayle
.
He
had
with
him
two
hundred
men
of
armes
and
four
hundred
archers
.
And
with
hym
was
his
nephue
Hugh
Hastynges
/
Thomas
Colleuyll
/
Gyllyam
Lysle
/
Iohan
Graily
/
bastarde

Iohan
Danbreticourt
/
and
diuers
other
/
and
also
the
bysshop
of
London
/
and
mayster
Rycharde
Doall
.
They
taryed
tyll
it
was
mydde
Marche
or
they
toke
the
see
.
and
or
they
came
to
Burdeaux
the
duke
of
Burbon
was
come
to
the
cytie
of
Dagen
to
treate
with
theym
of
Burdeloys
/
and
he
dyd
so
moche
by
his
fayre
wordes
and
good
assuraunce
/
that
the
counsayles
of
Burdeaux
/
of
Bayon
/
and
of
Dax
were
sent
to
the
cytie
of
Dagen
.
The
duke
receyued
them
frendly
and
gaue
them
fayre
wordes
and
many
promyses
/
and
shewed
them
that
if
they
wolde
turne
frenche
/
and
be
vnder
the
obeysaunce
of
the
frenche
kynge
/
what
so
euer
they
wolde
demaunde
shulde
be
graunted
them
/
and
sealed
perpetually
to
endure
.
Many
thynges
they
promysed
and
sware
to
seale
/
and
to
kepe
for
euer
.
They
aunswered
/
whan
they
were
retourned
agayne
in
to
their
cyties
they
wolde
shewe
all
this
to
the
people
/
and
so
take
counsayle
and
than
gyue
answere
.
Thus
they
departed
fro
Dagen
and
fro
the
duke
of
Burbon
and
retourned
to
their
townes
/
and
shewed
all
this
to
the
people
/
but
all
tourned
to
nothynge
/
for
the
comynaltyes
of
the
sayde
cyties
consydred
the
busynesse
/
and
knewe
well
howe
the
realme
of
Fraunce
was
vexed
and
troubled
with
tayles
and
fowages
and
shamfull
exaccions
all
to
get
money
.
than
they
sayd
/
if
the
frenche
men
gouerne
ouer
vs
they
wyll
bringe
vs
to
the
same
vsage
/
yet
it
is
better
for
vs
to
be
englysshe
/
for
they
kepe
vs
franke
and
free
.
If
the
londoners
haue
deposed
kynge
Rycharde
&
crowned
kinge
Henry
what
is
that
to
vs
?
we
haue
and
shall
haue
alwayes
a
kynge
/
and
we
vnderstande
that
the
bysshop
of
London
and
syr
Thomas
Percy
shortely
wyll
be
here
/
they
shall
enfourme
vs
of
the
trouthe
/
we
haue
also
more
marchaundyse
of
woll
/
wyne
/
and
clothe
with
the
Englysshe
men
than
with
the
frenchmen
.
let
vs
be
ware
we
make
no
treatie
/
wherby
we
shulde
repent
vs
after
.
Thus
the
treatie
with
the
frenche
men
was
broken
and
lefte
of
.
Than
anone
after
the
bysshop
of
London
and
the
lorde
Percy
with
their
charge
of
men
of
warre
aryued
at
Burdeaux
/
wherof
moche
people
were
greatly
reioysed
/
and
some
displeased
/
suche
as
had
rather
haue
been
frenche
than
englysshe
.
All
these
englysshe
lordes
were
lodged
togyther
in
the
abbey
of
saint
Andrewe
/
and
whan
they
sawe
their
tyme
they
shewed
to
the
people
the
state
of
Englande
/
and
the
cause
why
they
were
sent
thyder
/
and
they
dyd
so
moche
that
euery
thynge
was
apeased
bothe
there
and
in
all
other
places
:
For
harde
it
was
to
haue
caused
them
to
haue
tourned
frenche
.
THan
it
was
determyned
by
the
counsayle
of
Fraunce
/
sithe
the
kyng
was
in
sycknesse
by
reason
of
the
displeasure
that
he
toke
for
the
deposyng
of
his
sonne
in
lawe
kynge
Rycharde
/
that
they
shulde
sende
some
notable
wyse
personage
in
to
Englande
to
knowe
the
state
of
the
quene
.
to
do
this
message
was
apoynted
syr
Charles
de

Brethe
and
Charles
of

of

Londoners
loued
kynge
Rycharde

&
all
such
they
said

wolde
come

Than
they
departed
fro
Colbroke
and
went
and
lodged
at
Braynforde
/
a
seuyn
myle
fro
London
/
but
there
was
neuer
a
londoner
that
came
to

but
drewe
all
in

Whan
these

the

they
tooke

to

Albons
/
and
there
lodged
and
taries
there
a
day
/
and
fro
thens
they
went
to
Barcamstede
.
Thus
they
went
about
the
countre
/
&
styll
made
to
be
reported
/
that
this
Madalyn
was
kyng
Richarde
/
and
so
came
to
a
good
towne
called
Suscettour
/
where
there
was
a
baylye
sette
there
by
kynge
Henry
/
who
had
the
kepyng
of
the
towne
and
the
countrey
there
about
.
Whan
these
lordes
were
come
to
Suscettour
/
they
lodged
there
one
nyght
in
reste
&
peace
/
for
the
bayly
was
nat
strong
ynough
to
fyght
with
them
/
therfore
he
dissymuled
as
well
as
he
myght
.
And
the
nexte
mornynge
the
erle
of
Salisbury
and
the
lorde
Spensar
departed
fro
the
erle
of
Huntyngton
and
fro
the
erle
of
Kent
/
&
sayd
howe
they
wolde
ride
further
to

&
to

&
to
go
&
se
the
lorde
Bercley
/
&
to
ryde
a

the
ryuer
of
Syuerne
.
They
were
yuell
counsayled
whan
they
departed
one
fro
another
/
for
they
were
so
moche
the
weaker
.
The
erle
of
Huntyngton
began
to
treate
with
the
bayly
&
with
the
men
of
Suscettour
/
and
shewed
them
howe
kynge
Richarde
was
delyuered
/
&
howe
that
the
lōdonets
had
/
delyuered
hym
/
and
that
he
shulde
be
there
within
two
dayes
after
.
The
bayly
(
who
had
assembled
a
good
nombre
of
them
of
the
countrey
)
sayde
/
that
the
contrarye
was
trewe
/
&
howe
that
he
had
suche
tidynges
fro
kyng
Henry
and
fro
the
londoners
/
that
he
wolde
execute
their
commaundement
.
Whan
th
erle
of
Huntyngton
herde
those
wordes
he
chaunged
colour
/
&
sawe
well
he
was
disceyued
.
Than
he
entred
in
to
his
lodging
and
armed
hym
/
and
caused
his
men
to
do
the
same
/
and
thought
to
conquere
those
villayns
by
batayle
and
to
sette
the
towne
a
fyre
/
therby
to
abasshe
the
people
.
The
baylye
of
the
towne
on
the
other
parte
hasted
hym
/
and
assembled
all
his
men
in
a
certayne
place
/
and
he
was
with
archers
and
other
a
two
thousande
men
/
and
the
lordes
had
nat
past
a
thre
hundred
men
.
Howe
be
it
they
came
oute
of
their
lodgynges
and
began
the
batayle
/
and
archers
shotte
on
bothe
partes
so
that
many
were
hurte
.
Than
the
bayly
with
his
great
nombre
came
vpon
them
without
sparynge
/
for
he
had
speciall
commaundement
fro
kynge
Henry
that
he
shulde
outher
take
them
quicke
or
deed
/
if
he
myght
ouercome
them
.
So
finally
the
Erles
menne
were
fayne
to
withdrawe
in
to
the
houses
.
Than
the
bayly
and
his
men
enuyroned
their

on
all

and
specially
where
the

Erles
were
/
&
made
there
suche
assautes
/
that
they
entred
perfoce
:
There
were
many
hurte
and
slayne
.
Th
erle
of
Huntyngton
defended
him selfe
valyauntly
as
longe
as
he
myght
:
But
there
were
so
many
agaynst
hym
/
that
there
he
was
slayne
/
and
with
hym
the
yonge
erle
of
Kente
/
for
whom
great
sorowe
was
made
in
dyuers
partes
of
Englande
/
for
he
was
a
fayre
yonge
man
/
and
was
there
in
maner
agaynst
his
wyll
/
but
his
vncle
and
the

brought
hym
therto
.
The
men
of
Suscettour
who
were
fierse
agaynst
them
/
strake
of
their

and
sent
them
by
a

therwith

Th

Well

they
of

it
were
better

For

they
wyll

The

In

I
haue
sene
two

they

I

/
the
whiche

The

tyme
there
came
there
as
I
was

that
as

my

But
whan
this
knyght
sayd
these

/
he
knewe

what
shulde
be

And
the

leaue
of

And
there
I
herde
an
auncient
knyght
deuyse
amonge
the
ladyes

sayde
.
There
is
a
booke
whiche
is
called
le
Brust
/
and
it
deuyseth
that
the
prince
of
Wales
eldest
son
to
the
king
/
nor
the
duke
of
Clarence
/
nor
the
duke
of
Glocestre
shuld
neuer
be
kyng
of
Englande
:
but
the
realme
&
crowne
shuld
returne
to
the
house
of
Lacastre
.
There
I
Iohan
Froissart
auctour
of
this
cronycle
consydring
all
these
thynges
.
I
say
these
two
knyghtes
/
sir
Richarde
Pountcardon
&
sir
Bartylmewe
of
Bruels
layd
bothe
trouthe
/
For
I
sawe
/
and
so
dyde
all
the
worlde
/
Rycharde
of
Burdeaux
.xxii.
yere
kyng
of
Englande
/
and
after
the
crowne
retourned
to
the
house
of
Lancastre
.
And
that
was
whan
kyng
Henry
was
kyng
/
the
which
he
had
neuer
ben
if
Richarde
of
Burdeaux
had
dalte
amyably
with
hym
:
for
the
Londoners
made
hym
kyng
/
bycause
they
had
pytie
on
hym
and
on
his
chyldren
.
Thus
whan
kynge
Richarde
had
layne
two
houres
in
the
chare
in
Chepe
syde
/
than
they
draue
the
chayre
forwarde
.
And
whan
the
foure
knyghtes
that
folowed
the
chare
a
sote
were
without
London
/
they
lept
than
on
their
horses
/
whiche
were
there
redy
for
them
.
And
so
they
rode
tyll
they
came
to
a
vyllage
called
Langle
/
a
.xxx.
myle
from
London
:
and
there
this
kyng
Richarde
was
buryed
/
god
haue
mercy
on
his
soule
.
Tydinges
spredde
abrode
howe
kyng
Richarde
was
deed
/
he
taryed
euery
daye
for
it
/
for
euery
man
myght
well
consydre
/
that
he
shulde
neuer
come
out
of
prisone
a
lyue
.
His
dethe
was
long
kepte
and
hydde
fro
his
wyfe
.
The
Frenche
kynge
and
his
counsayle
were
well
enformed
of
all
this
/
and
the
knightes
and
squyers
desyred
nothyng
but
the
warre
/
&
that
they
myght
ryde
vpon
the
fronters
.
Howe
be
it
the
counsayls
/
as
well
of
the
one
realme
as
of
the
other
toke
their
aduyse
/
and
thought
it
best
to
vpholde
styll
the
truse
that
was
taken
before
they
thought
it
more
ꝓfitable
than
the
warre
.
And
a
newe
treatie
was
deuysed
to
be
in
the
marches
of
Calais
/
bycause
the
frenche
kyng
was
nat
in
good
case
nor
had
nat
been
/
sythe
he
knewe
of
the
trouble
that
kyng
Richarde
was
in
.
And
yet
his
sickenesse
doubled
whan
he
knewe
that
he
was
deed
/
so
that
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
had
the
chefe
rule
of
the
realme
.
And
he
came
to
saynt
Omers
&
to
Burbour●
where
the
duke
of
Burbone
was

sir
Charles
de

Brest

Iohan

and
of
prelates
/
the
patriarke
of
Ierusalem
/
and
the
bysshoppes
of
Paris
and
of
Beauoyes
.
And
on
the
Englysshe
partie
there
was
the
erle
of
Northumberlande
/
the
erle
of
Rutlande
/
the
erle
of
Deuonshyre
/
and
the
lorde
Henry
Percy
the
erles
sonne
/
and
yuan
of
Fitzwaren
.
and
prelates
/
there
were
the
bysshoppes
of
Wynchester
and
of
Ely
.
The
frenche
men
demaunded
to
haue
agayne
delyuered
the
yong
quene
of
Englande
/
but
the
Englysshe
men
wolde
in
no
wyse
delyuer
her
/
but
sayd
/
she
shulde
lyue
styll
in
Englande
vpon
her
dowrie
.
and
that
though
she
had
lost
her
husbande
/
they
wolde
prouyde
for
her
another
/
that
shulde
be
fayre
/
yong
/
&
gentyll
/
with
whom
she
shuld
be
better
pleased
than
with
Richard
of
Burdeaux
/
for
he
was
olde
:
and
this
shuld
be
the
prince
of
Wales
/
eldest
sofie
to
kyng
Henry
.
To
this
the
Frenchmen
wolde
nat
agre
/
for
they
wolde
nat
consent
therto
without
licence
of
the
kyng
her

in
good
poynt
/
for
he
was
farr̄
out
of

So

went

in
