The xxij. of October, the said Lord of Angrongne, went from Luserne, to Mondevis (where he was then governor for the Duke) and sent for the chief Rulers of Angrongne, at several times, declaring unto them the great perils and dangers wherewith they were environed, the army being already at hand: yet promising them if they would submit themselves unto him, he would send immediately to stay the army. They of Angrongne answered, that they all determined to stand to that, which they, two days before in their assemble, had put in writing. With this answer he seemed at that present, to be content. The next day the rumour was, that they of Angrongne had submitted themselves to the Duke. On the morrow, which was Sunday, you should have seen nothing but weeping and mourning in Angrongne. The Sermon being ended, the Rulers were called before the ministers and the people,1 the which affirmed, that they wholly cleaved unto their former writing, and they sent secretly to the Notary, for the copy of that which was passed in the counsel house, at their last assemble before the Lord de Comptes: in the which was comprised, that Angrongne had wholly submitted herself to the good pleasure of the Duke. The people hearing that, were sore astonished, and protested rather to dye, then obey the same, and thereupon it was agreed, that at that very instant, (albeit it were very late) certain should be sent to the Lord of Angrongne, to signify unto him, that the determination of the Council was falsified, and that it might please him, the next morning to come to Angrongne, to hear the voices of the people, not only of the men, but also of the women and children. But he himself went not thither, (having intelligence of the uproar) but sent thither the Judge of that place. Then that which had been falsified, was duly corrected, the Judge laying all the blame upon the Notary.
