[1] [2] The princes and lords then, with whom king Ed|ward was alied and confederated at that time, I find to be these;K. Edwards confederates. the dukes of Brabant and Gelder|land, the archbishop of Cullen, the marquesse of Gulike, sir Arnold de Baquehen, and the lord of Ualkenburgh, who all promised to defie the French king, in the king of Englands quarrell, and to serue him with notable numbers of men, where and when|soeuer it should please him to appoint. The aliance of the earle of Heinault first procured the king of England all these fréends, vnto the which earle he had sent ouer the bishop of Lincolne and other in ambas|sage, immediatlie after that he had resolued to make warres against France, by the counsell and aduise of sir Robert Dartois, as in the French historie more plainlie appeareth. In this meane season was queene Philip brought to bed at Antwerpe of hir third sonne,Lionell that was after duke of Cla|rence borne. which was named Lionell. ¶The king of England earnestlie followed his businesse, and had manie treaties with his fréends and confederats, till at length he made sure to him the fréendship of all those townes & countries, which lie betwixt France and the riuer of Rhene: onelie the cities of Tournie and Cambrie held of the French kings part, though Cambrie belonged to the empire.
