When he was landed, the earle of Salisburie besieged the castell of Cham|bois, which shortlie was to him rendered. Then the duke remooued to Rone, where he set good orders, and did great iustice to the countrie; wherefore the Nor|mans in their chronicles highlie extoll him for that point. Howbeit they saie, that he gat by long siege the towne and abbeie of Fecampe, and did none o|ther notable act, during the time of his rule and go|uernment.
