till he had confessed his obstinat errour, and acknowleged his obedience to the church of Canturburie. [Sidenote: The Welshmen make sturres. _Eadmerus._ The king raiseth an armie to go against the Welshmen.] Whilest these things were thus a dooing, king Henrie was aduertised, that the Welshmen breaking the peace, did much hurt on the marshes, & speciallie in Cheshire where they had burned two castells. Meaning therefore to be reuenged on them to the vttermost, he assembled an armie out of all parts of his realme, and entred with the same into Wales. The Welshmen, hearing that the king was come with such puissance to inuade them, were afraid, and forthwith sent ambassadours, beséeching him to grant them pardon and peace. [Sidenote: The Welshmen sue for peace.] The king mooued with their humble petitions, tooke hostages of them, & remitted them for that time, considering that in mainteining of warre against such maner of people, there was more feare of losse than hope of gaine. [Sidenote: More doubt of losse than hope of gaine, by the warres against the Welshmen.] But yet to prouide for the quietnes of his subiects which inhabited néere the marshes, that they shuld not be ouerrun and harried dailie by them (as oftentimes before they had béene) he appointed Warren earle of Shrewesburie to haue the charge of the marshes, that peace might be the better kept and mainteined in the countrie. [Sidenote: _Simon Dun._ A chanell cast from Torksey to Lincolne.] Soone after king Henrie caused a chanell to be cast along the countrie in Lincolnshire, from Torksey to the citie of Lincolne, that vessels might haue passage out of the riuer of Trent vnto the same. [Sidenote: Norham castell built. _H. Hunt._] Moreouer, Rafe bishop of Durham began to build the castell of Norham, vpon the bank of the riuer of Twéed. At this time likewise Foulke Earle of Aniou being now come out of the holie land (whither he went after the peace was made betwixt king Henrie and the French king) began to picke a quarrell against king Henrie, for withholding the iointure of his daughter, who (as before you haue heard) was married vnto William the kings sonne that was drowned. He also gaue hir sister in mariage vnto William the sonne of duke Robert, assigning vnto him the earledome of Maime to enioy in the right of his wife. [Sidenote: _Polydor._] In the meane time, king Henrie visited the north parts of his realme, to vnderstand the state of the countrie, and to prouide for the suertie and good gouernement thereof, as was thought requisite.
