Summary
An illustration of Roger Bacon talking to Henry III with a guard."...it did chance that the King of England (for some cause best knowne to himselfe) went into France with a great armie, where after many victories, he did besiege a strong towne and lay before it full three moneths, without doing to the towne any great damage, but rather received the hurt himselfe... Fryer Bacon hearing of it, went into France, and being admitted to the kings presence, hee thus spake unto him..." (p. 62)
