THE
COPIE
OF
A
LETTER
WRITTEN
by
the
Lord
of
Themines
Seneschall
of
Quercy
,
to
the
Lord
Marshall
Matignon
,
the
kinges
Lieutenant
generall
in
Guyenne
concerning
the
battaille
at
Villemure
,
&
the
victory
atchiued
against
the
ennemies
of
his
Maiestie
.
MY
Lord
,
I
accompt
it
my
duety
to
aduertize
you
,
of
such
occurrences
as
haue
passed
before
Villemure
,
together
with
the
occasion
that
I
entered
therinto
.
Which
was
this
:
Beeing
arriued
in
the
towne
of
Montauban
,
I
founde
the
affaires
in
so
bad
estate
,
and
the
said
place
of
Villemure
without
speedy
succour
in
such
daunger
of
losse
:
besides
all
not
seeing
wherewith
to
take
the
fielde
,
I
determined
to
goe
thether
with
a
hundred
of
my
companions
,
and
three
hundred
footemen
.
Hereof
my
Lord
did
I
first
giue
you
notice
,
as
also
of
such
meanes
as
I
made
accompt
off
to
come
to
relieue
me
with
a
sentinell
:
for
I
foresaw
that
the
los
of
the
said
Villemure
was
of
very
great
importance
concerning
the
kinges
seruice
,
and
the
good
of
your
gouernement
:
which
(
that
beeing
taken
)
all
the
townes
here
about
with
in
Quercy
would
haue
forsaken
.
This
necessity
would
not
giue
me
leysure
to
attend
your
permission
,
accordinge
to
my
duety
,
and
therefore
it
may
please
you
my
Lord
to
accept
this
reason
for
my
excuse
.
I
will
not
stand
to
discourse
vnto
you
,
the
combats
and
sallyes
perfourmed
in
one
moneth
,
the
time
that
I
was
besieged
,
as
also
that
in
our
sallies
,
we
got
great
aduantage
of
the
ennemies
,
besides
the
taking
of
their
ensignes
,
and
forcinge
of
their
trenches
:
for
seeing
themselues
thus
molested
,
they
were
forced
to
make
fortes
at
all
the
corners
of
their
campe
.
In
the
meane
time
the
Lord
of
Montmorency
,
sent
the
Lord
of
Leques
,
of
Chambault
and
of
Montoison
to
succour
the
said
Villemure
,
who
after
eight
daies
purposed
to
approach
towarde
the
ennemy
by
a
forte
that
they
made
shewe
to
assaile
:
but
the
place
was
by
the
ennemies
army
so
succoured
,
that
without
farther
endaungeringe
of
anye
thing
,
they
returned
to
attend
some
of
my
frendes
:
among
others
the
Lord
of
Messillac
,
whome
I
had
imployed
,
and
the
Lord
Giscart
,
also
the
Lord
of
la
Land
,
whome
I
had
left
to
gather
the
forces
of
the
Countrey
.
Upon
their
arriual
,
they
approched
the
ennemies
vpon
Monday
the
nineteenth
of
this
moneth
,
and
them
assailed
at
the
very
trenches
,
which
,
not
finding
all
their
horsemen
in
guarde
,
were
forced
.
This
aduauntage
lost
,
the
ennemy
grewe
into
suche
feare
as
not
yeelding
such
battaile
as
I
expected
namely
of
their
strangers
,
they
were
ouerthrowne
,
and
the
most
part
drowned
,
namely
the
Lord
of
Ioyeuse
,
their
artillery
was
taken
,
whereof
were
fiue
Cannons
or
Culueringes
,
There
were
also
found
those
of
the
towne
of
Montaubon
,
that
were
taken
from
the
regimente
of
the
Lorde
of
Espernon
,
where
I
was
presente
with
twelue
horse
,
and
that
in
good
time
,
for
the
sauinge
of
a
Cannon
,
which
they
had
abandoned
.
All
the
saide
ennemies
Ensignes
were
taken
,
also
all
the
leaders
of
their
footemen
,
either
dead
or
taken
.
To
bee
briefe
my
Lord
:
It
was
a
very
great
ouerthrow
.
There
be
dead
betwene
twelue
and
fifteene
hundred
men
,
and
about
a
hundred
prisoners
.
It
may
please
you
my
Lorde
in
your
packet
to
his
Maiestie
so
farre
to
honour
me
as
to
geue
him
to
vnderstand
of
my
duety
perfourmed
in
effecting
this
seruice
,
as
also
if
you
please
to
honor
me
,
as
to
giue
him
to
vnderstand
of
my
duety
perfourmed
in
effecting
this
seruice
,
as
also
if
you
please
to
honor
me
with
your
commanndements
.
From
Villemure

twentieth
of
October
1592.
A
Decree
of
the
Court
of
Parliament
,
sitting
at
Chaalons
,
against
a
rescript
in
forme
of
a
Bull
,
directed

the
Cardinall

Plaisance
,
and
published
by

last
past
.
IN
as
much
as
the
Kinges
Atturney
general
,
hath
declared
vnto
this
court
that
the
Rebels
and
seditious
persons
to
the
end
to
execute
such
wicked
and
wretched
purposes
,
as
they
haue
long
since
forecast
,
for
the
vsurpinge
of
this
crowne
,
against
the
true
and
lawfull
successors
of
the
same
:
not
content
with
replenishing
the
Realme
with
murther
,
massacre
,
robbery
,
and
spoyle
,
also
with
bringing
in
the
Spanyard
,
a
most
cruell
and
most
pernitious
ennemy
to
the
Realme
of
Fraunce
,
but
also
perceiuing
that
the
inhabitantes
of
the
rebellious
townes
,
began
as
it
were
out
of
a
long
lethargy
and
swounde
,
to
recouer
,
and
to
enter
the
path
of
Obedience
,
whereto
,
by
God
and
nature
they
are
bound
to
their
lawfull
King
:
to
the
ende
vtterly
to
quenche
and
stop
vp
all
prickes
and
pointes
of
charity
towarde
their
countrey
,
which
in
them
began
to
shoote
and
waken
,
and
to
reduce
the
Realme
into
greater
trouble
and
diuision
then
before
,
doe
frame
themselues
to
proceede
to
the
election
of
a
new
king
,
for
a
pretence
whereof
,
they
haue
procured
the
publishing
of
a
certaine
writing
in
forme
of
a
Bull
,
importing
power
and
commaundement
to
the
Cardinall
of
Playsance
to
assist
and
auctorize
the
said
pretended
election
.
Wherein
the
said
rebells
and
seditious
persons
doe
openly
reueale
that
which
hitherto
they
had
concealed
,
namely
that
they
haue
taken
the
pretence
of
religion
to
couer
their
wretched
and
damnable
enterprize
&
conspiracy
:
A
matter
which
euery
good
Frenchman
and
Catholicke
ought
to
detest
and
abhorre
,
as
being
directly
repugnant
to
Gods
word
,
al
holy
decrees
,
all
counsels
and
the
liberty
of
the
french
Church
,
which
also
openeth
a
gate
to
the
vtter
ruine
&
subuertion
of
al
policyes
&
humaine
societyes
instituted
by
God
,
namely
of
this
so
famous
and
flourishinge
Monarchy
,
the
foundamentall
lawe
whereof
doth
principally
consist
in
the
order
of
lawfull
succession
of
kinges
,
for
the
preseruation
whereof
euery
good
man
and
trew
frenchman
is
to
hazard
his
life
rather
then
to
suffer
it
to
bee
altered
or
violated
,
beeing
the
henge
wherevpon
the
certainty
and
peace
of
the
estate
doth
torne
