King Lewes vpon receipt of the letters, & vn|derstanding the present danger of the earle, made such hast in continuing his iournie both daie and night, that he came to Tholouze, before king Henrie could arriue there. Which when king Henrie vnder|stood, and perceiued how he was preuented, he chan|ged his purpose of besieging the citie, and fell to spoi|ling of the countrie thereabouts: at which time he recouered certaine places that latel [...]e before had re|uolted from his gouernment, & (amo [...]gst the rest) the citie of Cahors,The citie of Cahors.
