Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 When this proclamation was reported in Eng|land by the noble men that returned from the ma|riage:English nobi| [...]tie craue [...] of the [...] to go [...] to the [...]. the duke of Suffolke, the marquesse Dorset, and his foure bretheren, the lord Clinton, sir Ed|ward Neuill, sir Giles Capell, Thomas Cheneie, and other sued to the king to be at the chalenge, which re|quest he gratiouslie granted. Then the lords and knights prepared all things necessarie for their en|terprise, and shipped there horsses and harnesse, and did so much by iourneie, that they came to Paris at the end of October, which were hartilie welcomed of the king and the Dolphin: but most of all of the French queene which then laie at saint Denise, and was not yet crowned nor entered into Paris. The Dolphin desired the duke of Suffolke and the lord marquesse Dorset, to be two of his immediat aids, which thereto assented.

Therefore was erected an arch of widnesse at the tornels beside the stréet of saint Anthonie, [...] for the said [...]usts. directlie before the bastell, on the which were set foure targets or scutchions, the one siluer, and he that set his name vnder that shield, to run at tilt according to the ar|ticles. He that put his name vnder the golden target should run with the sharpe speares and fight with sharpe swords. They that put their names to the blacke shield, should fight on foot with speares and swords for the one hand. And he that touched the taw|nie shield should cast a speare on foot with a target on his arme, and after to fight with a two hand sword. On this arch aboue stood the armes of the king & the queene, and beneath them stood the armes of the Dol|phin and his aids, and vnderneath stood the foure scut|chions that you haue heard of, and vnder them all the armes and names of such as set their names to anie of the said foure scutchions.
