[1] King Henrie the father held his Christmasse this yeare at Caen in Normandie, Anno. Reg. 20. 1174 about which time a truce was made betwixt him and king Lewes to endure till Easter, or (as others write) for the terme of six moneths. For ye haue to vnderstand, that the fame of the victorie gotten by the capteines of king Henrie the father against the earle of Leicester (be|ing not onlie spred through England, but also blown ouer into France) put those that tooke part with him in great feare; but speciallie king Lewes mistrus|ting the matter began to wax wearie that he had at|tempted so far, and susteined so great trauell and ex|penses in another mans cause.
