William sought and obtained aid from King Henry, and completely defeated the rebels at Val-es-Dunes near Caen . The battle was but a combat of horse, but it decided the fate of the war and left William master of his duchy. The debt which he owed to Henry was repaid next year. War broke out between Geoffrey, Count of Anjou, and Henry , and William came to his suzerain's assistance.

Edward used to the utmost the suzerain's privilege of hearing appeals from the vassal-prince a practice never put in force by his predecessors, and excessively galling to the new Scottish King, who found himself fettered in all his measures, and degraded in the eyes of his rude and savage subjects, who regarded him as having given away the honor of their crown.
