Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 King Henrie the father aduertised of this new league of the conspirators against him, was in great perplexitie of mind, for that he saw himselfe in dan|ger, not onelie of outward enimies, but also of his owne subiects at home. Yet bicause the winter sea|son was alreadie at hand, taking awaie all conueni|ent occasions of attempting any great exploit by war for that time, he was in hope to compasse some agreement with his sons yer the spring of the yeare should returne, and therefore he made not so great prouision for his defense, as had béene necessarie in so dangerous a case. But the Frenchmen, who were bent to set forward this war with all diligence, were readie in the field immediatlie vpon the comming of the spring with king Henrie the sonne,The confede|rats inuade [...] dominions of king Henrie the father. and euen at one instant made their inuasions vpon the lands of king Henrie the father in three seuerall parties; namelie, in Normandie, Guien, and Britaine, which (against the will of his sonne Geffrey duke thereof) king Henrie the father did hold and reteine in his owne hands. The Frenchmen thus inuading the for|said countries, did much hurt with robbing and spoi|ling, and also tooke diuerse castels and townes.

William king of Scotland entred with a great power, first into Cum|berland, and besieged Carleil: but hearing that an armie was prepared against him in the south par|ties of the realme, and readie to set forward, he raised his siege, and entred into Northumberland, (which prouince king Henrie the sonne had giuen him in the last assemblie holden at Paris) endeuouring to bring it into his possession. But the more earnestlie he went about to inforce the people to his will, the more sti [...]lie did they withstand his purpose, hating EEBO page image 88 him so much, that in no condition they were willing to come vnder his rule, whereby the Scots were put backe and repelled, and that to their great losse. The kings power also comming into the countrie fol|lowed them, Wil Paruus. and passing ouer the water of Tweed, which diuided then (as it dooth at this daie) the two realmes, made the like spoile in the land of the eni|mies, as they had made in the countries of Nor|thumberland and Cumberland.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 But in Normandie, whilest others in other places, made their hand in fetching preies and booties out of the enimies countrie, king Lewes besieged Uernu|eil,Uernueil besieged. which towne being strong of it selfe, Hugh Beau|champe and others that had charge thereof valiant|lie defended, R. Houed. Hugh Beau|champe. so that the French king was a moneth before it, yer he could win anie part thereof. This towne of Uernueil was in those daies diuided into three portions, beside the castell, euerie of them a|part from other with mightie wals and déepe ditches full of water. One of these parts was called the great Burrow without the wals, where the French king had pitcht his field & planted his engins. About a moneth after whose cõming thither, vittels began to faile them within, so that at length they required a truce onlie for thrée daies, & if no succour came with|in those thrée daies, they promised to yeeld that part of the towne called the great Burrow, & the perempto|rie daie was the vigill or eeue of S. Laurence. Here|vpon were hostages deliuered by the burgesses vnto the French king. Now it was agréed that if they yéelded the towne at the daie appointed for want of succor, king Henrie the son, and Robert the French kings brother, with the earls of Trois & Blois, Hen|rie and Theobald, and William archbish. of Sens, vndertooke vpon their othes that the hostages should then be restored free & without any hurt or damage.
