The Holinshed Texts (1587, Volume 6, p. 409)

Compare 1577 edition: 1 There were sundrie meetings of the commissioners for this treatie of peace, and still they tooke longer time for continuance of the truce. And bicause that Britaine and all the other countries of France (as should seeme) were included in this truce, it seemeth that this was some second truce, and not the first truce, which included onelie the marches of Calis, and those parts vp to the water of Some. But how|soeuer it was, the duke of Britaine being in a great forwardnesse to haue recouered his duchie out of the Frenchmens hands, and to haue reduced his rebelli|ous subiects vnder due obeisance againe, was now by this truce concluded out of time, greatlie disap|pointed,The duke of Britaine dis|appointed by the truce. and so brake vp his siege from before Cam|pellie, and sent home the English armie. He went himselfe to Aulroie, where his wife was; and taking EEBO page image 410 order for the fortifieng and keeping of those places, which were in his possession, he came backe againe into England, and brought his wife with him.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 A litle before the concluding of this truce, the En|glishmen and others within the fortresse of saint Sa|uiour le vicount, in the Ile or rather Close (as they call it) of Constantine, which had beene long besie|ged, made a composition, that if they were not rescu|ed by a certeine daie, then should they yéeld vp the place to the Frenchmen. Now bicause this truce was agréed before the daie appointed for the rescue of that place, with condition that either part should in|ioy and hold that which at that present they had in possession, during the terme of the truce; the English|men thought that saint Sauiour le vicount should be saued by reason of that treatie: but the Frenchmen to the contrarie auouched, that the first couenant ought to passe the last ordinance. So that when the daie approched, the French king sent thither six thou|sand speares, knights, and esquiers, beside other peo|ple:S. Sauiour le vicount yeelded. and bicause none appeared to giue them battell, they had the towne deliuered to them.

Also the earle of Penbroke, hauing compounded for his ran|some, as he was vpon his returne from Spaine, comming homewards through France, he fell sicke, and being brought in an horsselitter to Arras, he di|ed there, on the 16 daie of Aprill, leauing a sonne be|hind him not past two yeares of age, begot of the countesse his wife called Anne, daughter vnto the lord Walter de Mannie. Polydor mistaking the matter, saith that Marie the countesse of Penbroke, who builded Penbroke hall in Cambridge, was wife to this Iohn Hastings earle of Penbroke, whereas in deed she was wife to his ancestor Aimer de Ualence earle of Penbroke (as Iohn Stow in his summarie hath trulie noted. Iohn Stow. ) She was daughter to Guy earle of saint Pole, a worthie ladie and a vertu|ous, tendering so much the wealthfull state of this land (a great part wherof consisteth in the good bring|ing vp of youth, and training them to the knowledge of learning) that for maintenance of students she be|gan the forsaid commendable foundation, about the yeare of Christ 1343, vpon a plot of ground that was hir owne, hauing purchased licence thereto of the king, to whom she was of kin.
