The king appointed cap|teine of this towne, the duke of Glocester, and his lieutenant sir Ralfe Lentall. The duke of Britaine vnder safe conduct came to the king, Titus Liuius. as he was thus busie in the conquest of Normandie, and after sun|drie points treated of betwixt them, a truce was taken,A truce taken betwéene king Henrie and the duke of Brit [...]ine. to indure from the seuenth daie of Nouem|ber, vnto the last of September, in the yeare next following, betwixt them, their souldiers, men of warre, and subiects. The like truce was granted vn|to the quéene of Ierusalem and Sicill, & to hir sonne Lewes, for the duchie of Aniou, and the countie of Maine, the duke of Britaine being their deputie for concluding of the same truce.
