Tour is a little Valley upon the borders of Angrongne,1 environed about with Mountains: two miles in length, but very narrow. On both sides, and in the mids thereof, there be about two hundred small houses and cottages: also meadows, pastures for cattle, ground for tillage, trees and goodly fountains. On the South side and the North, the mountains be so high, that no man can that way approach unto the said Valley. On the other coasts a man may enter by seven or eight ways. This place is not past two miles from Angrongne. The way thither is very narrow, and il to pass by, because of the hills, which be on both sides. There is also a River hard by, but very small, but the banks thereof be very high in many places. The people had carried thither very few victuals, partly because the way was so ill, and also through the sudden return of the army.

In the mean time the Lord of Trinity after he had now twice assaulted Angrongne, sent certain to burn Rosa, and to discover the ways, which led to the valley of Luserne: but the Soldiers were driven back four days together by those which kept the passages.
