[1] The Dolphin hauing knowledge by espials where the king of England and his power laie, came with all his puissance ouer the riuer of Loire, and besieged Cosneie, a towne situate vpon that riuer,Cosneie besie|ged by the Dolphin. a six score miles distant from Paris, and appointed part of his armie to waste and destroie the confines of the du|chie of Burgognie, to the intent to diuide the power of the king of England, from the strength of the duke of Burgognie, supposing (as it came to passe in|déed) that the duke would make hast towards Bur|gognie, to defend his owne lands. In the meane time, they within Cosneie were so hard handled, that they promised to render their towne to the Dolphin, if they were not rescued by the king of England within ten daies. King Henrie hearing these newes would not send anie one creature, but determined to go himselfe to the raising of that siege, and so with all diligence came to the towne of Corbeill, and so to Senlis, where (whether it were with heat of the aire, or that he with his dailie labour were féebled or wea|kened) he began to wax sicke, yea and so sicke,The king [...]|leth sicke. that he was constreined to tarrie, and send his brother the duke of Bedford to rescue them of Cosneie,Cosneie res|cued by the duke of Bed|ford. which he did to his high honor. For the Dolphin hearing that the duke of Bedford was comming to raise his siege departed thence into Berrie, to his great dishonor, and lesse gaine.
