There were in all Angrongne, but two that were enemies to the word of God, which that same day, were slain by the soldiers, not in the Combat: but for their riches,1 which they had about them, as they were running away. The one of them was a very covetous wretch, and had great store of gold and silver, and would spend nothing, either to help himself, or succour others: no not his poor parents. All this was spoiled by the soldiers, with a hundred or two hundred crowns besides which he had about him. Besides these two, there was not one of Angrongne slain that day. All the rest of the people retired to the Meadow of Tour: The situation whereof, we will here declare, for the better understanding of that which followeth.
