[1] After this incounter, the duke tooke the towne of Beaumont le vicount, and manned all the fortresses on the frontiers of his enimies, and with rich booties and prisoners returned againe to the duke of Yorke. In this meane time the lord Talbot, besieging the towne of Diepe, inuironed it with déepe trenches; building also vpon the mount Paulet a strong and noisome bastile. But at length perceiuing the towne to be stronglie defended, and that he lacked such fur|niture of men, vittels, and ordinance as was ne|cessarie for the winning of it, he deliuered the custo|die of the bastile, with the gouernance of the siege to his bastard sonne, a valiant yoong gentleman, and departed to Rone for aid, monie, and munition. The French king aduertised hereof, sent his sonne the Dolphin of Uienne with the earle of Dunois,Thrée thou|sand hath Ni|colas Giles. and fiftéene thousand men to raise the siege from Diepe.
