¶ Howe the kyng of Nauer came out of prison. Cap. C .lxxx. (Book 180)

AFter this forsayd auen ture certayne knyghtes as y^• lorde John̄ of Pequigny / & other vnder the comfort of y^• prouost of Parys / and of o∣ther counsaylours of y^• good townes cāe to the stronge ca∣stell of Alleres in Paylleull in Picardy / where the kyng of Nauer was in prison / vnder the ke∣pynge of the lorde Trystram du Boyse. They brought to theym that kept the castell suche to∣kens / that they had the king of Nauer delyuerd into their hādes: for the captayn was nat as thā there. And they brought hym with great ioye into the cytie of Amyense where he was well re∣ceyued / and lyghted at a chanons house who lo¦ued hym entierly / called Guy Kyrrecke. And y^• kyng taryed there a fyftene dayes: tyll he had so prouyded for hymselfe / y^• he was assured of the duke of Normandy than regent of France / for the prouost of the marchantes of Parys hadde gette hym his peace of the duke / and of them of Parys. And than the kyng of Nauer was bro∣ught to Parys by the lorde John̄ of Pequigny and by other burgesses of Amyense / wher as e∣uery man was gladde to se hym: and the duke made hym great feest and chere / for it behaued hym so to do. For the prouost and his sect exhor∣ted hym therto: therfore the duke dissembled for the pleasur of the prouost / and other of Parys /
