That troupe which was gone towards Tailleret, divided themselves into three companies. The first marched by the side of the mountain, burning many houses,1 & joined with the main army. The second company which was of seven score, marched higher, thinking to take the ⟨p. 967⟩people at unawares. But they were by seven men strongly resisted and driven back. The third company attained the top of the mountain, thinking to enclose the people, but as God would, they of Angrongne, which came to succour them, encountered with them, & with great force put them to flight.

They of Uillars, of whom mention is made before, after they had refreshed them selves with a little bread and wine (for the most part of them had eaten nothing all that day) chased their enemies till it was almost night: so fiercely that the master of the camp was fain to send to the Lord of Trinity (which was at Tour) for succour, or else all would have been lost. Which he did: and immediately he road with all speed to Luserne, to save him self, hearing the alarm which was given at S. John, by those of Angrongne, & fearing least the way should have ben stopped. The army retired with great difficulty (notwithstanding the new aide which was sent them) and with great loss of their men.
