Compare 1577 edition: 1 Howsoeuer this matter went, certeine it is, that king Philip taking weapon in hand, vpon a sudden entred into Berrie, and tooke from king Henrie Chasteau Raoull, Brezancois, Argenton,Annales de France. Mountri|chard, Mountresor, Uandosine, Leprose, Blanc en Berrie, Culan and Molignon. Wherfore king Hen|rie (who was at this time in England about to pre|pare an armie to go therewith into the holie land) when he heard thereof, Rog. Houed. The archbi|shop of Can|turburie with the bishops of Chester, saith Ger. Dor. with all spéed possible he sent Baldwin archbishop of Canturburie, and Hugh bi|shop of Durham ouer into France, to appease the French kings displeasure with courteous words and reasonable persuasions if it might be: but when that could not be brought to passe, he sailed ouer into Nor|mandie himselfe, with an armie of Englishmen and Welshmen, landing with the same at Herflue the 10. daie of Iulie, Ger. Dor. after he had beene sore tossed by a cruell tempest that rose as he was on the sea, to the great danger of his person, & all that were with him.

In the meane time his sonne Richard earle of Poictou entred into Berrie with a mightie armie, and the French king deliuering Chateau Raoull vnto the keeping of sir William de Berres returned into France,Chateau Roux it is called in the French an|nales: but yt chronicles of Aniou name it Chasteau Raoul, and rightlie as I thinke. so that earle Richard spoiled and wasted the lands of those earls and barons which tooke the French part excee|dinglie. The French king kept him as yet within France, and durst not come foorth now after the arri|uall of king Henrie, but manie enterprises were at|chiued by the capteines on both sides. Philip bishop of Beauuois inuading the frontiers of Normandie, burned Blangeuille, belonging to the earle of Angi, and the castell Albemarle (that belonged to Willi|am de Mandeuille, whereof he bare the title of earle) and wasted the countrie round about. The French king alse came to the towne of Trow, and burned it, and tooke 40. men of armes there, but the castell he could not win. On the other part, Richard earle of Poictou tooke a strong place called Les Roches,Sergeants. be|yond Trow towards Uandosme, with 25. men of armes, and 60. yeomen.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 About this time king Henrie sent ambassadours vnto the French king, as Walter the archbishop of Rouen, Iohn bishop of Eureux, and William Mar|shall, to require restitution for the damages doone to him and his people. And furthermore, that if the French king refused to make restitution, then had they in commandement to declare defiance against him. Wherevnto the French king answered, that he would not giue ouer to make warre till he had Ber|rie, and the countrie of Ueuxin or Ueulgesine wholie in his possession. Wherefore king Henrie with a mightie armie (on the tuesdaie after the feast of the decollation of S. Iohn) entred into the realme of France, and burned manie townes and villages, ap|proching the same day néere to the towne of Maunt where the French king was thought to be. Now as it chanced, William de Berres and Drogo de Mer|lo encountred with Richard earle of Poictou and William de Mandeuille earle of Albemarle, so that William de Berres was taken by earle Richard, but by negligence of them that should haue taken héed to him, he escaped awaie vpon his page [...] horsse. The morrow after also, earle Richard departed EEBO page image 113 from his father towards Berrie, and vpon the thurs|daie the Welshmen burned manie villages,The Welsh|men. with the castell of Danuille that belonged to Simon Daneth, and tooke manie rich preies and booties. Also William Mandeuille earle of Albemarle burned a place called saint Clare, that was belonging vnto the demaine of the French king.
