Compare 1577 edition: 1 In the meane time, king Henrie passed ouer into Normandie, hearing that the old grudge betwixt him & king Lewes began to be renewed vpon this occasion, that whereas king Henrie had receiued the French kings daughter Alice, promised in mariage vnto his sonne Richard, to remaine in England with him, till she were able to companie with hir husband, king Henrie being of a dissolute life, and giuen much to the pleasure of the bodie (a vice which was graffed in the bone and therefore like to sticke fast in the flesh, for as it is said,
Quod noua testa capit inueterata sapit)at leastwise (as the French king suspected) began to fantasie the yoong ladie, and by such wanton talke and companie-kéeping as he vsed with hir, he was thought to haue brought hir to consent to his fleshlie lust, which was the cause wherefore he would not suf|fer his sonne to marrie hir, being not of ripe yeares nor viripotent or mariable. Wherefore the French king imagining (vpon consideration of the other kings former loose life) what an inconuenience & in|famie might redound to him and his, R. Houed. bethought him|selfe that
Turpe senex miles turpe senilis amor,and therefore déemed iustlie that such a vile reproch wrought against him in his bloud, was in no wise to be suffered, but rather preuented, resisted & withstood. Herevpon he complained to the pope, who for re|dresse thereof, sent one Peter a preest, & cardinall in|tituled of saint Grisogone as legat from him into France, with commission to put Normandie and all the lands that belonged to king Henrie vnder in|derdiction, if he would not suffer the mariage to be solemnized without delaie betwixt his sonne Richard and Alice the French kings daughter. The king ad|uertised hereof, came to a communication with the French king at Yurie, vpon the 21. of September,The kings meet at Yur [...]e.

For the French king these were named, the bishops of Claremount, Neuers, and Trois; and three barons, erle Theobald, Robert, and Peter de Courtneie, the kings brethe|ren.
