The earle visited by the waie as he returned homewards to Burdeaux the towne of saint Iohn Dangelie,Saint Iohn Dangelie. and other fortresses which he had woone in going towards Poictiers, and hauing furnished them with men, munition, and vittels necessarie, at his comming to Burdeaux he brake vp his host, and licencing his people to depart, thanked them for their paines and good seruice. All this while the siege conti|nued still before Calis, and the French king amongst other deuises which he imagined how to raise the K. of England from it, procured the Scots to make warre into England, insomuch that Dauid king of Scotland, notwithstanding the truce which yet indu|red betwixt him and the king of England, vpon hope now to doo some great exploit, by reason of the ab|sence of king Edward,The king of Scots inua|deth Eng|land. Polydor. intangled thus with the be|sieging of Calis, he assembled the whole puissance of his realme, to the number of fortie or threescore thousand fighting men (as some write) and with them entered into England, burning, spoiling, and wast|ing the countrie, till he came as far as Durham.
