Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 You haue heard how king Henrie promised the earle of Morienne, when the marriage was conclu|ded betwixt his son Iohn and the said earles daugh|ter, to giue vnto the said Iohn certeine townes in Normandie, for the better mainteining of his estate and his wiues. This gift of the fathers caused his el|dest sonne the yong king Henrie, the sooner to powre out his poison which he had sucked before at his being with his father in law king Lewes. For conceiuing an offense, that his father should giue away any por|tion of his inheritance, Wil. Paruus. he would not condescend to any such gifts, but alledged that sithens he was king of England, and that all belonged to him, his father could not now haue any title to giue awaie that which did in no wise apperteine vnto him.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 There was another cause that troubled his mind also, and mooued him to grudge at his father, which was; for that the proportion of his allowance for maintenance of his houshold and port was verie slender, and yet more slenderlie paied. Also his father remooued from him certeine of his seruants, as As|tulfe de S. Hilarie,Astulfe de S. Hilarie a counsellor or rather corrup|ter of king Henrie the sonne. Polydor. and other whome he suspected to giue him euill counsell. Wherefore those that were procurers of him to attempt the seizing of the go|uernement into his hands, vpon this occasion slept not, but put into his head such matter, that at length he openlie demanded to haue the whole rule commit|ted to him: which when he saw would not be obtei|ned of his father by quiet meanes, he fled secretlie a|waie vnto his father in law king Lewes,King Henrie the sonne fled to the French king. requiring aid of him to recouer his right, which king Henrie the elder vniustlie deteined from him.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The French king comforted him, and bad him be of good cheare, for he ment to doo for him all that in him laie. Herewith he proclaimed him duke of Nor|mandie, and receiued homage of him for the same. King Henrie the father vnderstanding that his sonne was thus fled to the French king, sent am|bassadours foorthwith to the same king, requiring him to giue his son some good & wholesome counsell, that he might repent, and not follow such wilfulnesse of mind in swaruing from his fathers freendship, but rather with spéed to returne home againe; & to pro|mise in his name, that if any thing were otherwise than well, he would be contented the same should be reformed by his order and correction. But so farre was king Lewes from meaning to set a quietnesse betwixt the father and the sonne, that he would not heare the ambassadors declare their message, bicause they named the father, king, W. Paruus. to the derogation of the sonnes right, to whome he said he offered mani|fest wrong in vsurping the gouernement, which he had alreadie giuen ouer and resigned. Insomuch that when the ambassadours had declared some part of their message, he asked them what he was that willed such things of him: and when they answered that the king of England had sent them with that message, That is a false lie (saith he) for behold here is the king of England, who hath giuen you no commission to declare any message from him vnto me at all.
