On which daie, for that no suc|cours appeared, the towne (according to the coue|nants) was giuen vp into the kings hands. Sir Thomas Ramston was made capteine there, and after him sir Iohn Fastolfe. The king, whilest these places were besieged,The strong town of Meu|lanc yéelded to the English. and thus brought vnder his subiection, continued for the most part at Maunt; but yet oftentimes he went foorth to visit his campes, and to sée that nothing should be wanting, that might further the spéedie dispatch of his enterprises.

Now when Christmasse approched, the king withdrew to Rone, and there kept the solemnization of that feast, appointing in the meane time his men of warre to be occupied as occasion serued. The earle of Salisburie was sent to besiege the towne of Fresneie, the which after stout resistance made at the first, shortlie after was deliuered to him to the kings vse. Anno Reg. 8. The earles Marshall and Huntington, sir Iohn Gréene Corne|wall, EEBO page image 572 sir Philip Léech, and diuerse other, were sent in|to the countrie of Maine, where, not farre from the citie of Mens they were incountered by a power of Frenchmen, which the Dolphin had sent against them.A great victo|rie on the English side. There was at the first a sharpe bickering be|twixt them, but in the end the victorie remained with the Englishmen; so that manie of the Frenchmen were slaine, and taken, and the residue chased out of the field. There were slaine (as Thomas Walsing|ham saith) at the point of fiue thousand, and two hun|dred taken prisoners, among whome was the mar|shall de Rous, and diuerse other of good account. The two English earles remained there as victors, in the countrie which was by the king to them assigned.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Whilest these victorious exploits were thus happi|lie atchiued by the Englishmen, and that the king laie still at Rone, in giuing thanks to almightie God for the same, there came to him eftsoones am|bassadours from the French king and the duke of Burgognie to mooue him to peace. The king min|ding not to be reputed for a destroier of the countrie, which he coueted to preserue, or for a causer of chri|stian bloud still to be spilt in his quarell,King Henrie condescendeth to a treatie of peace. began so to incline and giue eare vnto their sute and humble re|quest, that at length (after often sending to and fro) and that the bishop of Arras, and other men of honor had béene with him, and likewise the earle of War|wike, and the bishop of Rochester had béene with the duke of Burgognie, they both finallie agreed vpon certeine articles, so that the French king and his commons would thereto assent.
