Compare 1577 edition: 1 Thus were the Englishmen occupied in this first yeare of king Richard with troubles of warre, and not onelie against the Frenchmen, but also against the Scots. For euen in the beginning of the same yeare,Rokesburgh burnt by the Scots. the Scots burnt Rokesburgh, in reuenge whereof the new earle of Northumberland entered Scotland with ten thousand men, and sore spoiled the lands of the earle of March for the space of thrée daies togither; bicause the said earle of March was the chéefe author and procurer of the burning of Rokes|burgh, & so for that time th' Englishmen were well re|uenged of those enimies. But at an other time, when the Northerne men would néeds make a road into Scotland, entring by the west borders, they were incountered by the Scots and put to flight, so that manie of them being slaine, the Scots tooke the more courage to inuade the borders, till at length, Edmund Mortimer earle of March came at the daie of truce, and tooke an abstinence of warre betwixt both nations for the time, though the same continued not long.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Anno Reg. 2. The duke of Lãcaster sai|leth into Bri|taine with a great power. Additions to Adam Meri|muth.Anon after Midsummer, the duke of Lancaster with a strong power tooke the sea, and landing in Bri|taine, besieged the towne of saint Mallo de Lisle, a fortresse of great importance. There went ouer with him the earles of Buckingham, Warwike, Staf|ford, and diuerse other of the English nobilitie, the which made their approches, and fiercelie assailed the towne, but it was so valiantlie defended, that in the end, the duke with his armie raised from thence, and returned without atchiuing his purpose. ¶ About the same time, there was a notable and hainous murther committed within saint Peters church at Westminster, by occasion of variance betwéene the lord Latimer and sir Rafe Ferters on the one partie,Hall [...] Sh [...]kerlie hath Grafton. and two esquiers, the one called Robert Hall and the other Iohn Shakell on the other partie, about a priso|ner which was taken at the battell of Nazers in Spaine, called the earle of Deane, who (as some write) was taken by one sir Franke de Hall at the said battell; Polydor. and bicause he remained in his hands at the death of the said sir Franke, he bequeathed him vnto his sonne the said Robert Hall esquier.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But as other write, the said earle was taken by the said Robert Hall himselfe & Iohn Shakell ioint|lie, and iudged to be their lawfull prisoner, Thom. Wals. by the sen|tence of the prince of Wales, and sir Iohn Chandois that was master to the said esquiers. Wherevpon af|terwards the said earle obteined so much fauor, that by leauing his sonne and heire in gage for his ran|some, he returned into Spaine, to prouide monie to discharge it; but he was so slow in that matter, after he was at libertie, that he departed this life before he made any paiment, and so his lands fell to his sonne that remained in gage for the monie with the two esquiers. Wherevpon it happened afterwards, that the duke of Lancaster, desirous to haue the yoong earle in his hands (in hope through his meanes the better to accomplish his enterprise which he meant to take in hand against the king of Castile, for the right of that kingdome) procured his nephue king Richard to require the said earle of Deane, at the hands of the said esquiers.
