¶ Howe the kyng of Englande sent a great nauy to the lee agaynst the fle¦mynges / & how the peace was made bytwene them. Cap. CC .lxxxxiii. (Book 293)

AFter this disconfyture thus on the flemyng{is} before the Bay in Bretayne. The kyng of Englande sent men of warr to ye see agaynst the flemynges / commaundyng them to make sharpe warre agaynst all the flemynges and to kepe all pas∣sages: so that nothyng shulde cōe thyder with∣out danger. And whan they of Brug{is} / of Ipre / and of Gaunt herde therof / than they drewe to counsayle: and all thynges consydred and yma¦gined. They thought it nat profitable for them to haue the yuell wyll of Englande / there nere neyghboure / for the susteynynge or aydinge of the erle their lorde. Therfore the good townes sent suffycient men into Englande to treat for a peace with the kyng and his counsayle. Who spedde so well or their retourne / that they dyde bring peace to the countre of Flanders / and to the flemynges: on certayne artycles sealed of bothe {per}ties. So they abode than in good state rest and peace. ¶ Nowe lette vs a lytell speke of the realme of Mayllorques.
