Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 Re. Tu [...]  Lands belõg|ing to the templers.Moreouer, in this parlement, the lands and posses|sions that belonged sometime to the Templers, and had beene deliuered vnto the knights Hospitalers, otherwise called knights of the Rodes by the king in the seauenth yeare of his reigne (according to the de|crée of the councell of Uienna) were by authoritie of this parlement assured vnto the said knights, to en|ioy to them and their successors for euer. Also it was concluded, that the earle of Kent, and the archbishop of Dubline should go ouer as ambassadours into France, to excuse the king for his not comming in person to the French king, to doo his homage for the lands he held in France. Moreouer, in the same par|lement,Licence to [...] the bodies of the rebels. Reco [...]d. Tur. the king granted, that all the dead bodies of his enimies and rebels that had suffered and hanged still on the gallowes, should be taken downe, and buried in the churchyards next to the places where the same bodies were hanging, and not elsewhere, by such as would take paine to burie them, as by his writs directed vnto the shiriffes of London, and of the counties of Middlesex, Kent, Glocester, Yorke, and Buckingham it appeared. And not onelie this li|bertie was granted at that time for the taking down of those bodies, Polydor. but (as some write) it was decréed by authoritie in the same parlement, that the bodies of all those that from thenceforth should be hanged for felonies, should incontinentlie be buried, which ordi|nance hath béene euer since obserued.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Ambassadors sent into France.The earle of Kent, and the archbishop of Dubline going ouer into France, could not light vpon anie good conclusion for the matter about the which they were sent, bicause the same time, or rather somewhat before, the lord Rase Basset of Draiton,The lord Basset. being the kings seneshall in Guien, had ouerthrowne a cer|teine towne, newlie fortified by the Frenchmen on the frontiers, for that the inhabitants, trusting on the French kings fauour and maintenance, refused to obeie the lawes and ordinances of the countrie of Aquitaine, and séemed to despise and set at naught the authoritie of the said lord Basset in that countrie, contrarie to all right, good order or reason. Neuerthe|lesse, the French king tooke the matter so greeuouslie, that except the lord Basset might be constreined to come vnto Paris, and there make answer to his of|fense, he would not hearken to anie other satisfacti|on. And therevpon, when the ambassadours were re|turned, he sent his vncle the lord Charles de Ualois earle of Anio [...], with a mightie armie, Anno Reg. 18. The earle of Amou sent into Guien. against the English subiects into Guien, where entring into Agenois, he tooke and seized all that countrie into the French kings hands.The earle of Kent. The earle of Kent being now gotten into those parts, with a great number of o|ther capteins and men of warre sent thither by the king of England, resisted the enimies verie manful|lie, in so much that vpon their approch to the Rioll, a strong towne in those parts, the earle of Kent as then being within it, did issue foorth, and giuing them battell, slue (as some write) fouretéene hundred of their men, so that they were glad to lodge at the first somewhat further off the towne.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Whilest this siege remained before the towne of the Rioll, Fabian. The king of England writeth to the duke of Bri|taine. Record. Tur. the king of England wrote his letters to the duke of Britaine, as one of the péeres of France, declaring the iniurious dealing of the French king, who had sent his vncle the earle of Aniou with an ar|mie against his people in Agenois, where he had ta|ken manie townes, destroied his people, and now had besieged his nephue Edmund earle of Kent, within the towne of the Rioll, inforsing his whole puissance wrongfullie to bereaue him of all the du|chie of Guien, and against all reason, and the prero|gatiue of the peeres of France, to an euill president or example in time to come of the perpetuall serui|tude of the said péeres.

And although saith the king of England, that the French alledge that we haue béen lawfullie summoned to come and doo homage, and haue refused so to doo, that is not so: for we were ne|uer in due order required as was conuenient, nei|ther could we doo homage, by reason of the great in|iuries and hard dealings practised against vs, from the feast of Easter last, till the date of those his pre|sent letters (which was the sixt of October, in this eighteenth yeare of his reigne) and yet, saith he, there was neuer anie lawfull processe had against vs be|fore our péeres, in the great chamber at Paris, as had béene requisite.
