Than thys Henry whych of some wryters is named Henry Bolyng∣broke duke of Lancastre, purchased hys sauffe conduyte of the Frenche kyng / and kepte hys day appoynted for that bataylle, in a felde called in Frenche La preauxclers. where for them was ordeyned a place lyested and cloosed in goodly wyse / kynge Iohan beynge presente wyth the more parte of hys nobles of Fraūce. And there came in fyrst into that feld the forenamed duke Appellaūte / & after thys noble duke of Lācastre, to the great honour of all Englande. And soone after dyuers obseruaūces accordyng to the law of armys done & solempne othes taken / eyther set in the rest to haue rōne the fyrst course. But kynge Iohan of hys especyall

And soone after the sayde duke of Lancastre wyth other nobles assyg∣ned to hym by the kyng of England, wentte to Auynyon, wyth the arche∣bysshoppe of Roan than chaunceller of Fraunce, and the duke of Burbō and other appoynted for the kynge of Fraunce / to conclude efte a peace betwene theyr two prynces.

In conclusyon after great argumēte made on eyther partye before the po∣pe and hys counsayl / fynally it was agreed, that y^e peace betwene the .ii. kynges shuld be kept & holden inuio¦late tyll mydsomer next folowynge.
