Compare 1577 edition: 1 The erledome of Poictou.About the same time also king Richard gaue vnto his nephue Otho the earledome of Poictou. Which I haue thought good to note out of Roger Ho [...]eden, to remooue the doubt of Iohn Bouchet, who in the third part of his annales of Aquitaine,Iohn Bou|chet his dou [...]. maruelleth at an old panehart or record which he had séene, by the tenour whereof it appeared, that this Otho inti|tuled himselfe duke of Aquitaine and earle of Poic|tou, being in his castell of Monstereulbonin neere to Poictiers, in the yeare a thousand, one hundreth, ninetie nine, in presence of Geffrey de Lusignen, and others, and granted vnto a certeine person the office of cutting the monie in the mint of that towne, as by the same [...] hart it further appeareth.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The sight whereof brought the sai [...] Bouchet into a great perplexine, considering that no chronicle which he had either seene, or heard of, made mention of any Otho that shuld be duke of Aquitaine, or erle of Poicto [...], either before that time, or after. Where againe it was euident to him, that queene Elianor the mother of king Richard, as then liuing, named hir selfe dutchesse of Aquitaine, and countesse of Poictou; & likewise king Richard intituled himselfe duke of Aquitaine, and earle of Poictou, euer after he had fianced the earle of Barcelons daughter, as by diuerse records both of the mother and the sonne he had séene perfect notice. At length yet he gesseth (and that trulie) that it should be this Otho, to whom the mother and sonne had assigned the dutchie of A|quitaine and countie of Poictou, for the mainte|nance of his estate, he holding the same till the yeare 1199, in the which he was made emperour by king Richards good helpe, as after shall be shewed more at large.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 About this time also as the countesse of Britaine,Ranulph erle of Chester tooke his wife the dutchesse of Britaine prisoner. the mother of duke Arthur came into Normandie to haue spoken with king Richard, Ranulph earle of Chester hir husband meeting hir at Pountourson, tooke hir as prisoner, and shut hir vp within his ca|stell at S. Iames de Beumeron: and when hir sonne Arthur could not find means to deliuer hir out of captiuitie, he ioined with the king of France, and made great hauocke in the lands of his vncle king Richard, wherevpon the king gathered a mightie ar|mie, and inuading Britaine with great force, cruel|lie wasted and destroied the countrie.
