Now as both the kings with their armies were readie to encounter, Malcolme began to doubt somewhat of the [...]iersenesse of the battell, Matth.

Heerevpon with all speed he leuied an armie, whereof the most part consisted of English (whose seruice he liked rather in a forren countrie than in their owne) and sailed ouer into Normandie, where he easilie subdued his enimies by the valiancie of the English, whom from thenceforth he began somewhat to fauour and better thinke of than before.
