Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The bastard of Orleance and the Hire were ap|pointed to see the walles and watches kept, and the bishop saw that the inhabitants within the citie were put in good order, and that vittels were not vainelie spent. In the tower that was taken at the bridge end (as before you haue heard) there was an high chamber, hauing a grate full of barres of iron, by the which a man might looke all the length of the bridge into the citie; at which gra [...]e manie of the chéefe capteins stood manie times, viewing the citie, and deuising in what place it was best to giue the as|sault. They within the citie well perceiued this too|ting hole, and laid a péece of ordinance directlie a|gainst the window.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 It so chanced, that the nine and fiftith daie after the siege was laid, the earle of Salisburie, sir Thomas Gargraue, and William Glasdale, with diuerse o|ther went into the said tower, and so into the high chamber, and looked out at the grate, and within a short space, the sonne of the maister-gunner, percei|uing men looking out at the window, tooke his match (as his father had taught him) who was gone downe to dinner, and fired the gun; the shot whereof brake, and shiuered the iron barres of the grate, so that one of the same bars strake the earle so violent|lie on the head, that it stroke awaie one of his eies,The earle of Salisburie slaine. and the side of his chéeke. Sir Thomas Gargraue was likewise striken, and died within two daies.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The earle was conueied to Meun on Loire, where after eight daies he likewise departed this world, whose bodie was conueied into England with all fu|nerall appointment, and buried at Bissam by his pro|genitors, leauing behind him an onelie daughter named Alice, married to Richard Neuill, sonne to Rafe earle of Westmerland, of whome more shall be said héereafter. The damage that the realme of Eng|land receiued by the losse of this noble man, mani|festlie appeared; in that immediatlie after his death, the prosperous good lucke, which had followed the English nation, began to decline, and the glorie of their victories gotten in the parties beyond the sea fell in decaie.
