Compare 1577 edition: 1 King Richard (though he perceiued that this of|fer of peace tended vnto this point cheefelie, that Sa|ladine would thereby adnihilate whatsoeuer the chri|stian armie had doone in the holie land since his & the French kings arriuall, so that by the said peace he should gaine more than by the edge of his sword) did somewhat staie at this offer and demand, as a thing greatlie dishonourable to the christians, to lose by treatie of peace so much or rather more than they got by force of warres (a meere token of faint and féeble courage) yet considering that in such necessitie both of his departure from thence, and also of lacke of other succors to resist the puissance of the enimies, after his comming awaie, he iudged it best to take the offer at the enimies hands in auoiding of some greater euill. Herevpon therefore was a peace con|cluded to endure for thrée yeares, thrée moneths, thrée wéeks, thrée daies, and three houres,A peace con|cluded be|twixt the Christians & Saracens. to begin at Ea|ster next insuing. And among other articles, it was couenanted, that the christians should haue frée pas|sage to come and go vnto the citie of Ierusalem, to visit the holie sepulchre there, which was granted; so that amongst a great number of christians that pre|sentlie vpon this conclusion went thither, Hubert bi|shop of Salisburie was one,Hubert bishop of Salisburie. who had continued a|bout the king during the time of all his iournie till this time.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 King Richard hauing thus concluded with Sala|dine, tooke the sea, and comming againe into Cypres, sent his wife queene Berengaria with his sister Ioane (late quéene of Sicile) into England by the long seas,K. Richard taketh his iornie home|wards. but he himselfe not minding to lie long on the seas, determined to take his course into Gre|cia, and so by land to passe homewards with all speed possible. Howbeit yer he could atteine his purpose, his chance was to be driuen by tempest into the coast of Istria, not farre from Aquilia, where he stood in some doubt of his life. For if he had beene knowne and taken, they would surelie haue killed him, bi|cause of the slander that went of him,K. Richard slandered for the death of ye marques of Montferrato. as guiltie of the death of Conrade the marquesse of Montferrato, who indéed was slaine by two of the Assassini in the citie of Tyrus, whilest king Richard was in the holie land (as before yée haue heard.)
Compare 1577 edition: 1 He therefore hauing here made shipwracke, and doubting to fall into the hands of any person in those parts that bare good will vnto the marquesse (against whome he had indéed shewed himselfe not freendlie in a quarrell betwixt the said marquesse and Guido the king of Ierusalem) made the best shift he could to get away, yet knowledge being had of him, and serch made after him by one Meinard of Gorezein, he lost eight of his seruants, W. Paruus. Erle of Gorze Saltzburge. and so came to a towne within the bishoprike of Saltzburge called Frisake, where he was estsoones in danger to haue beene taken a|gaine by one Frederike de saint Soome, who not|withstanding tooke six of his men, but yet he him|selfe with three other of his companie made shif [...] to get away. Finallie comming to Uienna in Austrich,K. Richard commeth to Uienna. and there causing his seruants to prouide meat for him, more sumptuous and fine than was thought re|quisit for so meane a person as he counterfeited then to beare out in countenance, it was streightwaies suspected that he was some other maner of man than he pretended, and in fine, Polydor. those that marked more di|ligentlie the maner of him, perceiued what he was, and gaue knowledge to the duke of Austrich named Leopold, being then in the citie of Uienna, what they had seene. His page that had the Dutch toong, going about the towne to change gold, and buy vittels, be|wraied him, hauing by chance the kings gloues vn|der his girdle: wherevpon comming to be examined for feare of tortures confessed the truth.
