At which daie the great master, with one and thir|tie mulets laden with the crownes came to the one side of the riuer of Audaie,The deliue|rance of the French kings children. which riuer departeth Spaine and France, and there taried till the first daie of Iulie: on which daie the ladie Eleanor and the children were put in two great boates, hauing onelie twelue gentlemen of Spaine with them: and in like maner the great master with two great boats, in the which the mony was, and twelue gentle|men with him. All these boats met at a bridge made in the middest of the riuer. The constable of Spaine and his twelue gentlemen met with the great ma|ster of France and his twelue gentlemen on the bridge: and after a little salutation, the Frenchmen entered into the two boats where the ladie and the two children were; and the Spaniards into the two boats where the monie was, and then ech part hasted to land. Thus were the French kings wife and chil|dren deliuered into his hands, for which deliuerance was great ioy and triumph made in France: and al|so in Iulie were fiers made in London and diuerse other places for the same consideration and cause.]
