With him came the archbishop of Remes with power and commission for concluding a league betweene France and Scotland, and also of a mari|age betwéene Lewes the Dolphins sonne and Mar|garet Iameses daughter, though both verie yoong.

I find that the duke of Glocester, being protector and gouernour of the realme, prepared an armie of ten thousand men, and sent them ouer to his brother the regent into France; who comming into the territorie of Paris, were ioifullie of him re|ceiued. About the same time the Frenchmen got by stealth diuerse townes out of the Englishmens hands,Compiegne surrendred to the English by a policie. and amongst other the faire towne of Com|piegne was one, and the pretie towne of Crotoie an other. When the duke of Bedford was aduertised hereof, he determined not to let the matter passe in such sort, but with all conuenient spéed sent foorth a force to recouer those townes againe. And first the earle of Suffolke with the earle of Lignie, and di|uerse other capteins of the Englishmen went to be|siege Compiegne, and lodged on the one side of the riuer of So [...]me, as the lord Lisle Adham, sir Tho|mas Rampston, and the prouost of Paris laie on the other side.

Which moued the souldiers so much, by reason of the loue they bare to their old cap|teine and gouernour, that for the deliuerance of him and partlie of themselues they yéelded the towne, so that both he and they might depart with horsse and harnesse onelie in sure conduct and safetie. Yet yer this towne of Compiegne was deliuered, sir Philip Hall,Compeigne & Crotoie reco|uered from y^e French. which was sent to Crotoie by the lord regent with eight hundred men to besiege it, got it suddenlie by assault, y [...]r the Frenchmen had either disposed their garrison, or appointed their lodgings
