After that, the Lord of Trinity being returned from Perouse to Luserne,1 sent certain to entreat of an agreement, and required to common with some of the people. Then they began to consult and devise by all means, how they might come to some good agreement. But one Monday being the 17. day of April, by break of day, he sent certain bands of Spaniards, which he had there, with the Garrison of Tour, to the mountain of Tailleret, by the way which leadeth to the meadow of Tour, on the Southside. They murdered men, women and children of Tailleret, whom they found in their beds. Then they marched on along upon the mountain, towards the meadow of Tour. Anon after the people perceived 2. other companies of soldiers marching by Angrongne, by 2. several ways, to assault the Meadow of Tour. In the morning, as soon as they rose, they blew their horns, for they saw the Spaniards already entered. When they had made their prayers, every man ran to meet the enemies, some on the East side and the other on the South. They which first resisted the Spaniards (who were already paste the bulwarks) were in the beginning but 12. Gunners, and a few other whom they caused to go up to the hill, and roll down great stones. These 12. having found a fit place for their purpose to stay the Spaniards, began to shoot of their harquebuses at them. The Spaniards seeing themselves so sore assailed both above and beneath,2 & the place so narrow and so straight, recoiled back, and retired as fast as they could, by the same way, by the which they came. If they had tarried a little longer, they had ben enclosed between the two mountains: which place was so strait that they could not have escaped. The people chased them unto their camp, which was at Tour.3 As they fled they found often, some Fortes, where they did resist for a little while: but they were alway beaten out. In this combat God gave victory to the poor Waldoys, with great slaughter of the Spaniards: where also very many of them were sore hurt and wounded.
