The 2. day of February, the Lord of Trinity camped at Luserne,1 and placed a Garrison in the Priory of S. John a village of the Waldoys, between Luserne & Angrongne. ⟨p. 965⟩The next day in the morning, the said Lord of Trinity sent word unto them of Angrongne, that if they would not take part with the rest, they should be gently handled. All the week before, they were solicited by him to consent to the same, but they would give no answer. The same day, they of Angrongne, and the rest of the Valleys, fully agreed and determined to defend their religion by force, and that the one should aide the other,2 and no agreement to be made, by any one, without the consent of the rest. About noon, the Lord of Trinity marched with his army, by S. John, to enter into the borders of Angrongne, by a place called La Sonneillette, where they had fought before. The people had made certain bulwarks of earth and stone, not past three foot hie: where they defended themselves valiantly against their enemies, which assailed them divers ways.3 When the enemies were so weary that they could fight no longer, they put fresh Soldiers into their places: so that the combat endured until night, and all that day, the army could not enter into the borders of Angrongne. Many of the enemies were slain, and a great number hurt: and but two of Angrongne slain, of whom the one was slain by his own folly, because he was too greedy upon the spoil. The army being now well beaten and tired, rested a while, to make themselves stronger for a further mischief.
