Compare 1577 edition: 1 At length they within for want of vittels were constreined to yeeld it vp vnto the king, after it had beene besieged the space of three score daies: [...] during which ti [...]e they had beaten backe their enimies at sundrie assaults, with great slaughter and losse. But the king hauing now got the possession of that hold, vpon greefe conceiued for the losse of so manie men, and also bicause he had line so long about it yet he could w [...]nne it, to his inestimable costs and charges, was determined to haue put them all to death that had kept it. [...] But Sauerie de Ma [...]leon aduised him otherwise, lest by such crueltie, the barons in any like case should be occasioned to vse the same extremitie towards such of his people, as by chance might fall into their hands. Thus the king spa [...]ed the Nobles and gentlemen, sending William de Albenie, Wil|liam de Lancaster, William de Emeford, Thomas de Muleton, Osbert Giff [...]d, Os [...]ert de Bobie, Odi|nell de Albenie, and diuerse other to the castell of Corfe, there to be kept as prisoners. But Robert Charme, Richard Gifford, and Thomas de Lincolne were sent to Notingham, and so other were sent to other places. As for all the demilances or yeomen (if I shall so call them) and the arcubalisters which had slaine manie of his men during the siege (as Mat|thew Paris saith) the king caused them to be hanged,A [...]cubalisters those y^ [...] beare cr [...]ss [...]bowes. to put other in feare that should so obstinatlie resist him.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Neuerthelesse as the booke that belonged to Berne| [...]ell abbie saith) there was not any of them hanged, [...] sauing one arcubalister onelie, whome the king had brought vp top a child. But howsoeuer the king dealt with them after they were yéelded, true it is (as by the same booke it appeareth there had beene no siege in those daies more earnestlie inforced, nor more ob|stinatlie defended: for after that all the limmes of the castell had beene reuersed and throwne downe, they kept the maister tower, till halfe thereof was also ouerthrowne, and after kept the other halfe, till through famine they were constreined to yéeld, ha|uing nothing but horsseflesh and water to susteine their liues withall.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Here is to be remembred, that whilest the siege laie thus at Rochester, Hugh de Boues a valiant knight, but full of pride and arrogancie, a French|man borne, but banished out of his countrie, came downe to Calice with an huge number of men of warre and souldiers to come to the aid of king Iohn. But as he was vpon the sea with all his people, mea|ning to land at Douer, by a sudden tempest which ro [...]e at that instant, [...] the said Hugh with all his com|panie was drowned by sh [...]pwracke. So [...]e after the [...] of the same Hugh with the carcases of other innumerable, both of men, women, and children, were found not farre from Yeu [...]ou [...]h, and all along that coast. There were of them in all fortie thousand, as saith Matthew Paris, for of all those which he brought with him, there was (as it is said) not one man le [...]t aliue.
