[1] [2] [3] [4] Titus Liuius. About the same time, to wit, the thrée and twentith of September (as some write) was castell Galiard surrendred to the hands of the duke of Excester, which had beene besieged euer since the last daie of March (as before yée haue heard.) But others write that it held out seauen moneths, and was not deliuered vp till the twentith of December. This castell was not onelie strong by situation, standing vpon the top of a stéepe hill, but also closed with mightie thicke walles, and furnished with men, and all maner of munition and things necessarie. The king appointed the lord Ros capteine of it. After that Gisours and castell Galiard were thus yéelded to the English obeisance, all the other townes and castels thereabout, and in the countrie of Ueulquessin, shortlie after yéelded to the king, as Gourneie, Chaumount, Neaufle, Dan|gu, and other small fortresses. Of Gourneie, was sir Gilbert Umfreuile made capteine; at Neaufle, the earle of Worcester; and at Dangu, Richard Wood|uile. Shortlie after was the castell Daumall yéelded to the earle of Warwike,Normandie brought into ye kings sub|iection, that had béene lost & deteined a long time frõ the English. to whome it was giuen. And thus was the whole duchie of Normandie (Mont saint Michael onelie excepted) reduced to the possessi|on of the right heire, which had béene wrongfullie de|teined from the kings of England euer since the daies of king Iohn, who lost it about the yeare one thousand two hundred and seauen.
