Compare 1577 edition: 1 In the meane while Henrie came ouer to his fa|ther, N. Triuet. King Henrie inuadeth the erle of Aluer|gnes lands. and found him at Poictiers, from whence (short|lie after Easter) he remoued, and with an armie en|tred into the lands of the earle of Aluergnes, which he wasted and spoiled, bicause the said earle had re|nounced his allegiance to king Henrie, and made his resort to the French king, séeking to sow discord betwixt the foresaid two kings: which was kindled the more by a challenge pretended about the sending of the monie ouer into the holie land, which was ga|thered within the countie of Tours: for the French king claimed to send it, by reason that the church there apperteined to his dominion: and the king of England would haue sent it, bicause it was gathe|red within the countrie that belonged to his go|uernement.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 Ger. Dor. The earle of Bolongne prepareth 600 ships to inuade Eng|land.This yeare a great preparation of ships was made by the earle of Bullongne, to haue inuaded Eng|land, but by the warlike prouision of Richard Lucie, lord gouernour of the realme, the sea-coasts were so prouided of sufficient defense, that the earles at|tempts came to nothing. The cause why he made this brag, was for that the king withheld from him cer|teine reuenues which he claimed to haue here in England and therefore he ment to recouer them by force. The empresse Maud mother to the king of England (a woman in stoutnesse of stoma [...]h and warlike attempts more famous than commonlie a|ny of that sex) deceassed this yere the 10 of Septem.
