Compare 1577 edition: 1 Neere to Ribaumount, about 80 Englishmen of sir Hugh Caluerlies band were distressed by 120 Frenchmen: & likewise beside Soissons, Fabian. 120 Eng|lish speares, or (as other writers haue) fiftie speares, and twentie archers were vanquished by a Burgo|nian knight called sir Iohn de Uienne, that had with him thrée hundred French speares. Of more hurt by anie incounters I read not that the Englishmen su|steined in this voiage.The French|men meant not to fight with the Englishmen For the Frenchmen kept them aloofe, and meant not to fight with their eni|mies, but onelie to kéepe them from vittels, and fet|ching of forrage abroad, by reason whereof the Eng|lishmen lost manie horsses, and were in déed driuen to great scarsitie of vittels. When they had passed the riuer of Loire, Polydor. and were come into the countrie of Berrie, they vnderstood how the Frenchmen laid themselues in sundrie ambushes to distresse them, if they might espie the aduantage: but the duke of Lan|caster placing his light horssemen, with part of the ar|chers in the fore ward, and in the battell the whole force of his footmen with the men at armes, diuided into wings to couer that battell, wherein he himselfe was,The order of the duke of Lancasters armie in marching. the residue of the horssemen with the rest of the archers he appointed to the rereward, and so causing them to keepe close togither, marched foorth till he came into Poictou, & then in reuenge of the Poicto|uins that had reuolted from the English obeisanc [...], he began a new spoile, killing the people, wasting the countrie, and burning the houses and buildings euerie where as he passed,He cõmeth [...] to Burdeaux Froissard. The archb. of Rauenna [...] from the p [...]p [...] & so finallie about Christ|masse came to Burdeaux.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Whilest the duke of Lancaster was thus passing through the realme of France, pope Gregorie the e|leuenth sent the archbishop of Rauenna and the bi|shop of Carpentras as legats from him, to treat for a peace betwixt the realms of England and France. They rode to & fro betwixt the French king and his brethren, and the duke of Lancaster: but the duke and the Englishmen kept on their waie, and so finallie kéeping forwards about Christmasse came to Burdeaux. The legats pursued their treatie, but the parties were so hard, that no reasonable offers would be taken. The two dukes of Lancaster and Britaine laie in Burdeaux all the residue of the win|ter, and the Lent following. The same yeare that the duke of Lancaster made this iournie thorough France, Caxton. Messengers sent to the pope about r [...]|seruations o [...] benefices. the king of England sent certeine ambas|sadors to the pope, requiring him not to meddle with the reseruations of benefices within his realme of England, but that those which were elected bishops might inioy their sees, and be confirmed of their me|tropolitane EEBO page image 409 and archbishop, as of ancient time they had beene accustomed.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 5 6 The pope would not at that present determine a|nie thing herein, but commanded them that were sent, that they should certifie him againe of the kings pleasure and further meaning, in those articles and other touching him and his realme. Also this yeare it was decréed in parlement,Cathedrall churches. that cathedrall churches might inioy the right of their elections, and that the king should not hinder them that were chosen, but rather helpe them to their confirmations. ¶ In the same parlement was granted to the king a disme of the cleargie, and a fiftéenth of the laitie. ¶ Moreouer at the sute of the popes legats, a respit of war was granted betwixt the kings of England and France, but so that the Englishmen lost in Gascoine a great number of castels and townes, by reason of a com|position made before, that if they were not rescued by the middest of August, they should then yeeld themselues French: and bicause the truce was a|gréed vpon to indure till the last of August, the Eng|lishmen tooke no heed to the matter. It was further agréed vpon, that in the beginning of September, there should méet in the marches of Picardie, the duke of Lancaster, and other of the English part, as commissioners to intreat of peace;Cõmissioners appointed to meet and com|mune of peace and the duke of Aniou and other on the French part, the popes legat to be there also as mediator. When this agréement was thus accorded, the duke of Lancaster, and the duke of Britaine, with the earls of Warwike, Suf|folke and Stafford, the lords Spenser, Willoughbie and others, tooke the sea at Burdeaux the eight of Iu|lie, and returned into England.
