Welshmen sent ouer to the aid of the earle of Bri|taine. thréescore knights and two thousand Welshmen, the which when the French king came with his armie to enter and in|uade Britaine, did cut off and take his cariage laden with vittels, armor, and other prouision, ouerthrow|ing also no small number of the Frenchmen, and ta|king from them their horsses, they returned backe in safetie, without any great damage receiued. Not|withstanding this, the French king inforcing a|gaine his power, waxed too strong for the earle of Britaine, so that he was constreined to take a truce to indure till the feast of all saints, that he might in the meane time vnderstand if the king of England would come ouer with some puissant armie to his aid or no: but bicause it was perceiued in the end that the said earle of Britaine sought nothing else but how to get monie out of king Henries coffers, and to doo him no pleasure for it, bicause he was in manner at an other agreement alreadie with the king of France, king Henrie refused to satisfie his requests at such time as he came ouer vnto him (af|ter the taking of that truce) for more monie. Here|with also the said erle being offended,The earle of Britaine sub|mitteth him|selfe to the French king. got him backe into his owne countrie, and shortlie after apparant|lie submitted himselfe to the French king, which (as the report went) he had doone before in secret.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Anno Reg. 19. 1235These things being thus brought to passe, and all troubles quieted, the king as then being at London, there was brought before him by one Tolie, Polydor. Fabian. a com|plaint exhibited against the Sée the like in pag. 56. col. 1. Iewes of Norwich, which had stolen a yoong child, being not past a twelue moneths old, and secretlie kept him an whole yeare togither, to the end that he might (when Ester came) crucifie him in despite of our sauiour Iesus Christ, and the christian religion. The matter as it happened fell out well for the lad: for within a few daies before that those curssed murtherers purposed to haue shed this innocents bloud, they were accused, conuicted and punished, whereby he escaped their cruell hands. About the same time, Matth. Paris. to wit the seauenth of Februa|rie died Hugh de Wels bishop of Lincolne, a great enimie to moonks and religious men. Robert Gro|sted was then preferred to his roome, a man of great learning, and trained vp in schooles euen from his infancie.

Finallie, she tooke the sea the ele|uenth of May, the king taking leaue of hir not with|out teares, when they thus departed the one from the other. And so with prosperous wind and weather shée arriued at Antwerpe, and from thence passed for|ward, till shée came to hir husband the emperour, by whom shée was receiued with great ioy and comfort at Worms, where the marriage was consummate vpon a sundaie, being the two and twentith day of Iulie, or (as Matthew Westminster saith) the seauen and twentith of May, being Whitsunday.
