Honorable

THE
King
accompanied
with
his
own
forces
,
and
the
Marshall

hauing
a
long
time
laine
about
Chartres
,
hoping
in
the
end
to
reduce
the
Citty
to
his
deuotion
,
and
perceiuing
it
a
very
harde
thing
to
obtaine
the
same
by
main
force
,
vnles
it
were
by
surprise
,
by
reason
of
the
strength
of
the
same
both
by
Art
and
nature
,
though
there
were
very
fewe
Souldiers
or
none
in
it
,
except
the
Cittizens
and
Townes-men
thereof
:
About
the
fouretéenth
of
February
last
,
hee
diuided
himselfe
from
the
Marshall
Biron
,
and
faigned
to
giue
ouer
the
siedge
,
and
to
goe
towards
Dreur
,
hauing
first
giuen
out
that
hee
would
goe
to
besiege
that
towne
,
and
went
but
two
or
thrée
miles
from
Chartres
.
The
Marshall
Biron
,
séeming
the
next
day
to
leaue
the
siege
,
and
to
followe
the
King
,
as
if
he
dispaired
to
doe
any
good
there
,
which
those
of
Chartres
perceiuing
,
they
presently
with
such
Souldiers
as
they
had
,
resolued
themselues
to
make
a
saly
,
and
to
sette
vppon
the
reareward
of
the
Marshall
as
hee
was
marching
towards
Dreur
,
which
accordingly
they
did
,
and
issuing
out
of
the
Town
most
brauely
charged
the
Marshalls
hinder
troupes
,
the
Marshall
at
first
séemed
to
make
hed
against
them
,
but
soone
after
began
to
retire
himselfe
,
and
to
giue
his
ennemies
place
,
and
they
nothing
misdoubting
of
any
such
Stratagem
,
followed
him
amaine
,
continually
skirmishing
vntill
they
came
about
two
miles
from
the
Towne
.
In
the
meane
time
,
the
King
lying
there
abouts
in
ambush
,
when
hee
sawe
his
time
,
entred
betweene
the
Towne
and
the
men
thereof
that
followed
the
Marshall
,
and
so
couragiously
charged
them
behinde
,
and
the
Marshall
then
turning
face
towards
them
againe
,
that
in
lesse
then
an
houre
that
they
fought
,
they
slue
them
all
,
except
thirty
Cuirasses
which
very
hardly
escaped
.
The
King
following
the
victory
,
entred
presently
one
of
the
Subburbes
of
Chartres
,
the
Townes
men
seeing
this
,
beganne
to
make
a
motion
of
peace
with
him
,
and
offered
to
deliuer
him
the
town
&
fifty
thousand
crowns
,
vppon
condition
,
that
he
would
remoue
his
forces
,
and
place
no
Garrison
therein
,
which
the
King
refused
to
do
,
and
thereupon
prepared
to
batter
the
Towne
in
two
places
,
hauing
resolued
not
to
leaue
it
vntill
he
haue
gotten
it
.
And
it
is
verily
belieued
that
he
is
in
it
already
,
which
if
he
be
,
we
are
greatly
bound
to
giue
God
thanks
for
it
,
for
as
much
as
those
of
Paris
will
greatly
be
hindred
by
the
same
,
for
that
they
had
most
of
their
victuals
from
those
quarters
thereabouts
.
The
Lord
Deguidieres
deputie
Lieutenant
for
the
king
in
the
prouince
of
Dalphinate
hath
of
late
so
hotely
pursued
the
Dukes
of
Sauoyes
forces
that
he
entred
his
cittie
of
Ciamberie
(
chiefe
parlament
towne
of
Sauoy
)
and
sacked
and
spoiled
the
same
,
and
then
loden
with
the
rich
praye
thereof
,
left
it
,
forasmuch
as
he
had
not
forces
sufficient
with
him
to
keepe
and
munite
the
same
,
and
so
withdrew
him selfe
home
againe
without
any
losse
.
The
saide
Lorde
Deguidieres
returning
home
from
Ciamberie
into
Dalphinate
met
with
the
Duke
of
Nemours
and
his
forces
(
who
knowing
the
absence
of
the
gouernour
thought
to
haue
surprised
some
townes
)
and
so
charged
him
that
he
slue
most
of
his
Cauallarie
and
made
him
retire
toward
Lions
,
(
whereof
the
Duke
is
gouernour
)
whither
the
Lorde
Deguidieres
did
so
stoutly
follow
him
,
that
those
of
Lions
fearing
least
hee
would
entrench
him selfe
in
their
Suburbe
called
Guillottiere
,
adioyning
to
the
gate
of
Rodan
,
and
is
a
verie
faire
,
long
,
and
rich
Suburbe
,
set
fire
to
the
same
,
and
haue
cleane
burnt
it
vp
:
but
he
withdrew
him selfe
into
his
owne
gouernment
,
where
he
hath
so
honourably
behaued
himselfe
,
that
hee
hath
in
a
maner
reduced
the
whole
Prouince
to
the
obedience
and
deuotion
of
the
King
,
and
is
such
a
terror
to
his
enimies
,
that
none
dare
stirre
.
The
King
of
Spaine
had
commaunded
certaine
Cornets
of
horsemen
of
Naples
,
to
come
downe
from
thence
to
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
,
that
with
them
he
might
infest
and
trouble
those
of
Dalphinate
,
in
as
much
as
they
were
horses
of
more
swiftnesse
and
speede
then
hee
hath
any
,
but
the
Lord
Deguidieres
hauing
met
with
them
,
hath
altogether
defeated
them
,
that
verie
few
or
none
hath
escaped
him
.
Those
of
Geneua
haue
lately
taken
a
forte
called
the
forte
of
Saint
Catherin
,
not
verie
farre
from
Geneua
,
which
the
Duke
hath
not
long
since
caused
to
bee
built
onely
to
vere
them
,
and
they
haue
razed
the
same
,
and
haue
gone
spoiling
,
wasting
and
burning
so
farre
as
Nantua
,
which
is
two
dayes
iourney
from
Geneua
.
Those
of
Air
in
Prouence
,
with
all
the
countrie
there
aboutes
are
in
a
mutinie
and
tumult
against
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
(
to
whom
they
had
voluntarily
giuen
them selues
)
forasmuch
as
he
went
about
to
build
a
Cirtadel
in
Air
,
which
they
by
no
meanes
will
suffer
.
The
cittie
of
Marseille
which
with
the
greater
part
of
the
countrie
of
Prouence
(
through
the
faire
promises
and
instigations
of
the
King
of
Spaine
)
had
accepted
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
to
be
their
Protector
,
and
in
signe
of
that
,
aduanced
the
standard
of
the
holy
League
(
which
is
a
crucifixe
)
hath
of
late
vpon
the
tumult
of
Air
reuolted
from
him
,
and
erected
the
Armes
of
Fraunce
,
and
doth
publish
that
it
holdeth
and
will
holde
for
the
king
of
France
.
Certaine
Iacopin
Friers
of
the
cittie
of
Terracon
,
situate
vpon
the
riuer
of
Rodanum
,
together
with
some
euil
minded
Citizens
therof
,
had
practised
to
giue
the
citty
to
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
,
of
whom
they
had
receiued
many
faire
and
large
promises
:
and
hauing
agreed
both
of
the
meanes
and
time
,
the
gouernour
of
the
cittie
hauing
had
some
inteligence
thereof
,
and
discouered
their
whole
platforme
,
one
night
before
their
treason
shoulde
haue
beene
effected
,
caused
the
Iacopins
and
all
their
complices
to
be
taken
and
laide
in
sundrie
prisons
,
and
that
verie
night
sent
certaine
of
his
companies
out
of
the
towne
there
to
lye
in
an
ambush
,
vntil
such
time
as
they
should
heare
thrée
strokes
of
a
Bel
,
which
was
the
watch-word
betwéen
the
Iacopins
and
the
Duke
of
Sauoys
Lieutenant
.
All
this
being
thus
appointed
,
the
Dukes
forces
came
to
the
cittie
,
who
so
soone
as
they
were
neare
the
gate
,
at
which
they
shoulde
haue
beene
let
in
:
the
Bell
was
striken
thrée
times
,
where
presently
the
Ambush
that
was
laide
without
the
towne
assaulted
them
,
and
those
of
the
cittie
which
stood
prepared
to
receiue
them
,
opened
the
gates
and
sailied
out
vpon
them
,
where
in
lesse
then
halfe
an
houre
the
Dukes
men
being
so
surprised
in
the
middest
were
euery
man
slaine
,
and
their
Captaine
so
sore
hurt
,
that
he
dyed
two
dayes
after
,
so
was
the
cittie
reserued
for
the
King
,
for
whom
it
holdeth
stil
.
The
Duke
of
Sauoye
is
of
late
fallen
into
a
consumption
,
and
lieth
very
sicke
at
Nizza
,
so
that
his
Phisitions
doe
despaire
of
his
recouery
.
The
Lord
Chatillion
hath
of
late
had
the
Lord
de
la
Chastres
in
chase
,
and
hath
so
nearely
pursued
him
that
hee
hath
driuen
him
to
Chasteauneuf
,
where
hee
doth
straightly
besiege
him
,
and
is
in
hope
to
haue
him
,
if
hee
may
haue
ordinance
to
batter
the
Towne
.
By
letters
from
Aleppo
,
and
Tripoly
in
Soria
the

the
Maumetists
,
and
to
bring
them
out
of

so
many

to
helpe
the
Persians
in
