They put the king also in hope of a mariage to be had, betwixt the sonne of their earle, and some one of the kings daughters. Herewith the king of England (who was departed from Sluse, in great displeasure with the Flemings) became somewhat pacified in his mood, and so re|newed the league eftsoons with the countrie of Flan|ders: but the earle would neuer consent to doo ho|mage vnto the king of England, but still sticked to the French kings part, which purchased him much trouble, and in the end cost him his life, as after shall appeare.

There were al|so taken the earle of Ualentinois, and other earles, vicounts, and lords of great accompt, to the number of nine, besides those that were slaine.
