IN thys .xxv. yere about y^e feast of the decollacyon of saynte Iohn̄ Baptyste in the latter ende of August / a noble man of Spayne cal¦led syr Charles, to whome kynge Iohan of Fraunce had newely gyuē the erledome of Angolesme, enten∣dynge to wynne some honoure vpon the Englysshemen, wyth a stronge nauy of Spaynardes entrede y^e En∣glysshe stremys, and dyd moche har¦me vnto kynge Edwardes frendes. ‡ So that the kyng about the season abouesayde, mette wyth the sayde nauy vpon the cooste of wynchelsee / where betwene the kynge and them was a longe and mortall fyghte, to y^e greate losse of moche people vppon bothe partyes. But in the ende god sente vnto the kyng vyctory / so that he chased hys enemyes, and wanne frome theym .xxii. of theyr shyppes after moost wryters, wyth many pry¦soners.

And thys yere syr Thomas of Agorne, whiche as in the .xxii. yere of thys kyng{is} reygne, toke prysoner syr Charles de Bloys and other / was slayne by chaunce medle of a knyght of Fraunce or Brytayne called syr Rauffe de Caours.

And thys yere were solempne mes¦sangers sente vnto Rome, for to con∣clude and parfyte the peace betwene the two kynges of Englande and of Fraunce. So that kynge Edward shulde resygne and gyue vp all hys tytle and clayme that he made vnto the crowne of Fraunce / & the French kynge shulde clerely gyue vnto hym all the duchye of Guyan / wyth all suche landes as at any tyme before were taken by any of hys progeny∣toures from it. And that kyng Ed∣warde and hys heyres kynges shuld freely holde and occupye the sayde duchye, wythout doynge of homage to any Frenche kyng after that day. But the conclusyon of thys matyer was so prolonged and deferred by y^• pope, and such delayes as dayly ben vsed in the courte of Rome, that the erle of Derby wyth other, whyche were appoynted for the kynge of En¦glande, retourned wythoute spede of theyr cause. wherfore kynge Ed¦warde made new prouisyōs to warre vpon kyng Iohn̄ of Fraunce.
