Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 This present yeare was a parlement holden at Westminster, in the which manie good and profitable acts for the preseruation of concord at home, and de|fense against the enimies abroad, were ordeined and deuised. ¶Arthur of Britaine constable of France, and Iohn duke of Alanson, were sent by the French king into Normandie, with a great armie, to besiege the towne of Auranches, standing vpon the knop of an hill: where after they had laien a certeine space without gaine, the lord Talbot with a valiant com|panie of men came thither, and offered the enimies battell. Which when they at all hands refused, the lord Talbot perceiuing their faint harts, raised his field, and in the open sight of them all, entered into the towne, and the next daie issued out; and finding the Frenchmen riding abroad to destroie the plaine countrie, he compassed them about, and slue manie of them, and tooke diuerse prisoners. Although the Frenchmen got neither honor nor profit by this iour|nie, yet they enterprised a greater matter, as the winning of Rone; in so much that Pouton de San|treils, and the Hire, with manie other notable cap|teins, hauing promise of certeine burgesses of that citie to haue entrie made them, secretlie in the night came forward to a towne called Rise or Riz, not past foure leagues from Rone, and there lodged.

In the chase were taken the lord of Fontains, sir Aleine Geron, sir Lewes de Balle, and thréescore knights, and esquiers, beside others; and there were slaine two hundred and more. The Hire escaped verie narrowlie, by swiftnesse of his horsse, though not vnwounded. The Englishmen returned to the towne of Rise, and found there great number of horsses & other baggages, which they ioiouslie brought with them to Rone.

The earle of Warwike re|gent came in|to France. as regent of France, passed the sea, after he had beene seuen times shipped and vn|shipped, and landed at Homflue with a thousand fresh souldiers, and came to Rone, and then the duke of Yorke returned into England. Betwéene the change of these two capteins, the duke of Burgognie (which sore enuied the glorie of the Englishmen) besieged the towne of Crotoy,Croitoy b [...]e|ged by the duke of Bur|gog [...]e. with ten thousand men and more, hauing with him great plentie of guns and goodlie ordinance. The earle of Warwike aduerti|sed hereof, sent the lord Fauconbridge, sir Thomas Kiriell, sir Iohn Montgomerie, Thomas Limbrike, Thomas Chandois, Dauid Hall, and diuerse other knights and esquiers, and an host of fiue thousand men, which passed the riuer of Some, beside the towne of saint Ualerie, wading in the water vp to the chin, so glad were they to rescue their felowes.
