Compare 1577 edition: 1 The towne of Alanson abode a siege for the space of eight daies,Alanson be|sieged and yeelded vp. they within defending it right vali|antlie at the first; but in the end, considering with themselues, what small hope there was for anie suc|cours to come to remooue the siege, they grew to a composition, that if within a certeine daie they were not reléeued, they should yéeld both the towne and ca|stell into the kings hands, which was doone: for no succours could be heard of. The king appointed cap|teine of this towne, the duke of Glocester, and his lieutenant sir Ralfe Lentall. The duke of Britaine vnder safe conduct came to the king, Titus Liuius. as he was thus busie in the conquest of Normandie, and after sun|drie points treated of betwixt them, a truce was taken,A truce taken betwéene king Henrie and the duke of Brit [...]ine. to indure from the seuenth daie of Nouem|ber, vnto the last of September, in the yeare next following, betwixt them, their souldiers, men of warre, and subiects. The like truce was granted vn|to the quéene of Ierusalem and Sicill, & to hir sonne Lewes, for the duchie of Aniou, and the countie of Maine, the duke of Britaine being their deputie for concluding of the same truce.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 About the same time also, at the sute of Charles the Dolphin, a treatie was in hand at Tonque, for a finall peace, but it came to none effect. From Alan|son the king set forward towards the towne and ca|stell of Faleis, meaning to besiege the same, where the Frenchmen appointed to the kéeping of it, had fortified the towne by all meanes possible, and pre|pared themselues to defend it to the vttermost. The earle of Salisburie was first sent thither before with certeine bands of souldiers to inclose the enimies within the towne, & to view the strength therof. After him came the king with his whole armie,Faleis besie|ged. about the first of December, and then was the towne besieged on ech side. The king lodged before the gate that lea|deth to Caen, the duke of Clarence before the castell that standeth on a rocke, and the duke of Glocester laie on the kings right hand, and other lords & noble men were assigned to their places as was thought expedient. And to be sure from taking damage by a|nie sudden inuasion of the enimies, there were great trenches and rampiers cast and made about their seuerall campes, for defense of the same.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The Frenchmen notwithstanding this siege, va|liantlie defended their wals, and sometimes made issues foorth, but small to their gaine: and still the Englishmen with their guns and great ordinance made batterie to the wals and bulworks. The win|ter season was verie cold, with sharpe frosts, & hard weather; but the Englishmen made such shift for prouision of all things necessarie to serue their turns, that they were sufficientlie prouided, both against hunger and cold: so that in the end, Thom. Wals. Sir Iohn Oldcastell taken. the Frenchmen perceiuing they could not long indure against them, offered to talke, and agreed to giue ouer the towne, if no rescue came by a certeine daie appointed. A|bout the same season was sir Iohn Oldcastell, lord Cobham taken, in the countrie of Powes land, in the borders of Wales, within a lordship belonging to the lord Powes, not without danger and hurts of some that were at the taking of him: for they could not take him, till he was wounded himselfe.
