When John assumed the crown of England, however, Philippe soon found cause to quarrel with him, and thus the greatsiege of the castle was only postponed for three or four years. The Frenchking brought his army across the peninsula formed by the Seine, and havingsucceeded in destroying the bridge beneath the castle, he constructed onefor himself with boats and soon afterwards managed to capture the island, despite its strong fortifications. The leader of the English garrison wasthe courageous Ro...ger de Lacy, Constable of Chester. From his knowledge ofthe character of his new king, de Lacy would have expected littleassistance from the outside and would have relied upon his own resources todefend Richard's masterpiece. John made one attempt to succour thegarrison. He brought his army across the level country and essayed todestroy the bridge of boats constructed by the French. This one effortproving unsuccessful he took no other measures to distract the besiegingarmy, and left Roger de Lacy to the undivided attention of the Frenchmen.
