Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 In the meane time the lord Maletret gardian of the fort, sent word to the duke of Lancaster, that he would yeeld and surrender the hold into his hands vpon condition, that he and all his might freelie de|part with such armour, goods, chatels and victuals as they had reposed and laid vp in store for their necessa|rie prouision: wherevnto the good duke (as he was al|waies good) verie gentlie agréed; vpon condition al|so, that before their departure, they should ruinate the said fort, and laie it eeuen with the ground; and should likewise allow and paie him towards his costs and charges defraied in the siege of the same, twentie thousand s [...]utes of gold. Then might you sée the people flocking from all parts of the countrie, some with beires, some with cabbins, some with carts, and some with crutches to fetch awaie the dead and the wounded: in so much that there was not one, either slaine outright, or deadlie maimed, for whome his freends did not mou e and lament. Yea, the lord Maletret himselfe was so mangled and hurt, that he could not go on his legs, but as he leaned on mens shoulders, and was borne vp on either side. It was reported, that manie dead bodies were hidden in heaps of salt, to the end that the Englishmen should not glorie and triumph in the multitude of the slaine, of whome [in sight] the number amounted to aboue EEBO page image 450 150. Thus farre goeth Henrie Knighton, whose re|port giueth no small light to the matter vnder hand. After the duke had remained a moneth at Groigne, he went to Compostella, and there soiourned for a season, during the which, his constable sir Iohn Hol|land woone diuerse townes and fortresses which the enimies kept: diuerse yeelded to the duke with better will, for that the duchesse his wife was there with him, whom they knew to be right inheritour to the realme. ¶ At Mouson a towne on the confines be|twixt Spaine and Portingale, the king of Portin|gale and the duke of Lancaster met, where they com|muned and tooke counsell togither for the more spée|die procéeding in their enterprise against their ad|uersaries of Castile. Also there was a mariage con|cluded betwixt the said king of Portingale,Philip the dude of Lan|casters daugh+ter married to the king of Portingale. and the ladie Philip daughter to the said duke, which marri|age shortlie after was wholie consummated, the said ladie being first married by procuration at Compo|stella, and after sent into Portingale right honorablie accompanied.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The duke continued at Compostella all the win|ter season, till towards March, and then (according to appointment taken betwixt him, and the king of Portingale, at their being togither at Mouson, for their iournie to be made into Castile) the said king assembled an armie of a thousand men of armes,The king of Portingale & the duke of Lancaster ioi|ning their ar|mies togither inuade Ca|stile. and ten thousand other souldiers, with the which entring the confines of Castile, he first tooke the towne of Feroule, and after ioining with the duke, who had in the meane while by his marshall taken the towns of Ruelles, Uille Lopes, Pounceuoide, Dighos, Ba|ionne in la Maroll, Ribadan, Maures, Besanses, and Orens, with others in the countrie of Gallis, they marched foorth with their whole powers both togi|ther, and passing ouer the riuer of Dure, entered into the countrie de Campo.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 ¶ Here the English writers make mention of a battell, which the constable of Castile should giue to the duke, and that the victorie remained on the dukes side, and the Spaniards chased out of the field. But Froissard (who liued in those daies,Uariance amongst writers. and learned that which he wrote of those that were with the duke in his iournie) maketh no remembrance of any such thing, but that contrarilie the king of Castile folow|ing the aduise of such Frenchmen as were sent into Spaine to aid him, caused all the riches of the coun|trie to be brought into the walled townes and for|tresses, which he stuffed with men of warre, to defend them from the Englishmen and Portingales; and further to cut off their vitels, and to kéepe them from hauing forrage abroad in the countrie, vnlesse such as were sent were garded with the greater troops for their suertie and defense.
