Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 But yet in the end, by the comming of the con|stable of France, Arthur de Britaine earle of Rich|mond, who brought with him two hundred or twelue score men of armes, and an eight hundred archers or demilances, the Englishmen were discomfited, put to flight,The English men ouer|throwne at Formignie. and slaine, to the number of three thousand, seauen hundred, three score and thirtéene, as Engue|rant noteth, beside prisoners, of whome there were di|uerse personages of accompt, as the said sir Thomas Kiriell himselfe, sir Henrie Norberie, sir Thomas Drew, sir Thomas Kirklie, Christopher Auberton, Arpell, Helice, Alengour, Iennequin, Uacquier, Go|bart, Caleuille, and sundrie other. Sir Robert Ueer, and sir Matthew Or rather Goche. Gough that valiant Welshman, and manie other escaped so well as they might, some to Baieux, some to Caen, and other to other places as best they could.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 After this ouerthrow obteined, the French king assembled an armie roiall, and comming before Ca|en,Caen besieged and yéelded to y^e French. besieged it on all sides: and after making his ap|proches, fiercelie assalted the walles. But the duke of Summerset, and the other capteins within the towne, manfullie withstood their enimies, shewing both force and great policie in defending and beat|ing backe the assailants. The French king, percei|uing he could not preuaile that waie, sent for all his great ordinance to Paris, which being brought, he dailie shot at the wals, and did some hurt: but to the castell which stood on a rocke, and in it a dungeon vn|able to be beaten downe, he did no harme at all.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Though the duke of Summerset was the kings lieutenant, yet sir Dauid Hall, as capteine of this towne for his maister the duke of Yorke owner ther|of, tooke vpon him the chéefe charge. Sir Robert Uéer was capteine of the castell, and sir Henrie Radford capteine of the dungeon. Dailie the shot was great, but more terrible than hurtfull: sauing on a daie a stone shot into the towne, fell betweene the duchesse of Summerset, and hir children, which being ama|zed with this chance, besought hir husband kneeling on hir knées, to haue mercie and compassion of his small infants, and that they might be deliuered out of the towne in safegard. Which intretie made with teares and submission, what eare could but listen to, what heart but yerne at; vnlesse both eare and heart were made of flint or marble, or hewen out of a hard rocke, and so void of all passions, of all remorse, of all affections belonging to humanitie?
