The 9. day of March, there was a hot skirmish at Angrongne. For 3. companies of soldiers went to Angrongne, to burn and spoil all that remained, & to destroy the wines, which were hidden in the ground. Where, amongest themselves, they mocked & flouted the poor people, saying: these Lutheran Waldoys, are valiant fellows behind their bulwarks: but if they had been in the plain field, they had been well canvased. After this it chanced that 30. of the Waldoys went and assailed these foresaid companies in the plain field.1 They fought a long season, and that so near, that some of them fought hand to hand. In this conflict, one of those of Angrongne, wrestled with a captain of the enemies, strong and mighty, and cast him down upon the ground. Many of the soldiers were slain, and many hurt. But of the Angronians there was but one slain and an other hurt a little, which notwithstanding gave not over to fight manfully. Then the soldiers seeing the loss of their men, retired suddenly.
