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.1 Whereupon he sent his whole army, whom they valiantly withstood from the morning till night. Then they of Luserne sent new aide. During this combat, an ambushment of soldiers descended from the top of the mountain, by a place so hard to pass by, that no man would have suspected it.2 The poor people seeing themselves so environed of their enemies, saved them selves, some running through the midst of their enemies, and other some into the rocks.
