Compare 1577 edition: 1 Shortlie after Foulke earle of Aniou (who before had aided the French king against king Henrie) be|came now kings Henries freend by aliance, mari|eng his daughter to William king Henries eldest sonne. But the French king (as their histories make mention) minding still to be reuenged of the earle Theobald, inuaded his countrie againe with a puis|sant armie, and had destroied the citie of Chartres, which belonged vnto the same earle, had not the citi|zens humbled themselues to his mercie: and so like|wise did the earle, as may be thought. For in the warres which immediatlie followed betwixt Lewes and the emperour Henrie, the erle aided the French king against the same emperour to the vttermost of his power. Soone after this, the king came to an enteruiew with pope Calixtus at Gisors,The king and the pope come to an enter| [...]ew at Gisors where ma|nie matters were talked of betwixt them: and a|mongst other, the king required of the pope a grant of all such liberties as his father enioied within the limits of England and Normandie, and chéefeli [...], that no legat should haue any thing to doo within England, except he required to haue one sent him for some vrgent cause.

Whereas he saith he is pope, and will (as he said) assoile me of the vow which I haue made, if contra|rie thereto I will restore Thurstane to the sée of Yorke: I thinke it not to stand with the honor of a king, to consent in any wise vnto such an absolution. For who shall beléeue an others promise hereafter, if by mine example he sée the same so easilie by an abso|lution to be made void But sith he hath so great a desire to haue. Thurstane restored, I shall be conten|ted at his request, to receiue him to his sée, Simon Du [...] Eadmerus with this condition, that he shall acknowledge his church to be subiect vnto the sée of Canturburie, as his predeces|sours haue doone before him; although in [...] this offer would not seru [...] the turue.
