A note touching the mighty Ships of King Henry the fift, mentioned
hereafter in the treatie of keeping the sea, taken out of a Chronicle in
the Trinitie Church of Winchester.
Eodem anno quo victoria potitus est videlicet Anno Domini 1415. & regni sui
Anno tertio, post bellum de Agencourt, conducti a Francis venerunt cum
multis Nauibus recuperaturi Harfletum. Sed Rex Anglia misit fratrem suum
Iohannem Ducem Bedfordia & Andegauia, qui pugnauit cum eis & vicit, & Naues
cepit, & quasdam submersit: cateri fugerunt cum Hispanis nauibus qui
venerant cum eis Anno gratia 1416. Sequenti vero Anno redierunt
potentiores, & iterum deuicti perpetuam pacem cum Rege composuerunt, &
propter eorum naues fecit Rex fieri naues quales non erant in mundo. De his
sic conductis a Francis ita metrice scribitur.
[Sidenote: Naues maxima Henrici quinti.]
Regum belligero trito celeberrimus aruo
Gallos, Hispanos, Ianos, deuicit, & Vrget,
Vastat; turbantur catera regna metu.
Nauali bello bis deuicti quoque Iani.
