A
RECITALL
OF
that
which
happened
in
the
Kings
Armie
,
since
the
taking
of
the
Suburbes
of
Paris
,
vntill
the
taking
of
the
Towne
of
Phalesey
.
ALthough
that
common
examples
doo
sufficiently
shewe
vs
,
that
patient
forbearing
sufficeth
to
giue
legitimate
Princes
the
infallible
victorie
of
Rebellions
,
without
the
hazarding
of
battailes
;
yet
not
withstanding
,
the
loue
of
his
Maiestie
hath
been
so
great
towards
his
subiects
,
that
for
to
redeeme
them
from
the
oppressions
which
they
suffer
,
and
are
yet
to
suffer
through
the
continuance
of
a
long
warre
,
hee
hath
desired
nothing
more
for
the
speedie
ending
thereof
,
(
since
the
taking
of
armes
in
hand
)
than
to
aduenture
the
iustice
of
his
cause
,
vpon
the
successe
of
a
battaile
,
hauing
sought
to
draw
all
his
enemies
thereunto
by
al
meanes
possible
.
First
of
all
,
when
they
sought
him
in
Normandie
,
they
reported
,
that
they
went
not
to
giue
battaile
,
but
to
a
victorie
alreadie
gotten
.
At
which
time
,
(
in
their
sight
)
he
went
to
besiege
and
take
the
towne
and
castle
of
Gamashe
,
and
two
dayes
after
to
recouer
the
towne
of
Ewe
;
all
their
Armie
beeing
but
3.
leagues
off
.
Since
that
,
in
his
returne
,
hee
made
fiue
or
sixe
dayes
iourney
on
their
side
of
the
Some
:
not
passing
the
Riuer
at
Pont
del
arche
,
as
hee
might
haue
done
,
but
deferred
to
passe
at
Muellan
,
for
to
receaue
them
if
they
would
haue
giuen
him
battaile
.
And
since
likewise
,
after
the
taking
of
the
Suburbs
of
Paris
,
the
day
of
his
departure
thence
,
his
Maiestie
kept
his
Armie
ranged
in
battaile
foure
howres
,
to
see
if
there
wold
be
anie
effect
of
that
furie
,
in
which
it
was
reported
they
were
arriued
at
Paris
:
as
it
hath
been
more
amplie
declared
in
the
former
discourse
.
And
his
Maiestie
being
at
the
village
of
Linars
vnder
Mountlhery
,
remained
there
a
whole
daye
,
thinking
that
his
enemies
,
hauing
been
rested
and
refreshed
three
dayes
in
the
towne
of
Paris
,
would
haue
gathered
stomacke
to
haue
come
out
,
and
haue
giuen
him
battaile
there
;
which
if
they
had
put
in
practise
,
the
King
would
haue
met
them
halfe
way
.
But
being
aduertised
,
that
in
stead
of
troubling
of
themselues
with
this
busines
,
they
thought
it
lesse
dangerous
to
shew
their
choler
,
in
saccaging
the
particular
inhabitants
of
the
said
citie
;
executing
those
themselues
,
whom
al
men
thought
they
should
haue
defended
from
beeing
executed
by
others
:
imputing
to
the
richest
sort
,
and
such
as
were
easiest
to
be
trodden
vnder
foote
,
that
they
were
the
Kings
friends
(
to
colour
thereby
their
massacre
and
pillaging
from
punishment
)
regarding
neither
qualitie
nor
age
,
killing
and
drowning
manie
,
both
men
and
women
;
making
the
world
beleeue
,
that
that
which
was
executed
through
the
valor
of
the
Kings
Armie
,
was
enterprised
by
practises
and
intelligences
,
to
excuse
the
slender
care
,
and
small
courage
of
those
,
which
were
within
the
Citie
:
where
they
liuing
at
their
pleasure
,
being
so
nested
that
there
was
no
meanes
to
drawe
them
out
,
his
Maiestie
determined
to
take
the
towne
and
castle
of
Estampes
,
beeing
mooued
thereunto
by
the
aduertisement
hee
had
,
that
the
Lord
Cleremont
of
Lodesue
with
fiftie
or
three
score
Gentlemen
had
thrust
themselues
into
it
,
thorough
the
assurance
the
Duke
de
Maine
had
giuen
them
,
(
and
confirmed
by
manie
of
his
letters
which
were
intercepted
)
that
he
wold
come
to
relieue
them
with
all
his
Armie
.
His
Maiestie
knowing
that
the
Duke
de
Maine
had
bound
himselfe
by
his
faith
and
honour
to
relieue
Estampes
,
thought
to
giue
him
occasion
to
seeke
the
battaile
,
through
the
besiegeing
of
it
:
and
in
hope
thereof
departed
from
the
village
of
Linars
vpon
Sunday
the
first
day
of
Nouember
,
and
arriued
at
Estampes
with
all
his
Armie
;
which
he
had
inuironed
the
same
day
in
the
morning
:
&
although
he
could
not
come
thether
before
day
light
was
shut
in
,
yet
at
his
first
comming
he
wonne
the
suburbes
,
which
the
enemies
made
showe
they
would
defend
.
The
very
same
night
the
town
likewise
was
wonne
,
and
the
men
of
warre
did
retire
themselues
into
the
castle
;
which
was
immediately
inuironed
,
&
approches
made
,
and
two
Culuerins
were
placed
in
batterie
,
the
Tuesday
folowing
by
faire
day
light
.
Which
they
within
seeing
,
and
that
the
Armie
which
should
haue
relieued
them
,
did
not
appeare
,
nor
that
there
was
any
newes
of
it
,
demanded
a
Parle
,
and
yeelded
themselues
the
same
day
,
with
condition
that
eight
of
them
should
remaine
prisoners
,
vntill
such
time
as
they
should
cause
seuen
or
eight
others
to
be
deliuered
,
who
were
named
vnto
them
.
His
Maiestie
after
the
said
agreement
,
did
shew
that
fauour
to
the
Lord
Cleremont
of
Lodesue
,
to
two
masters
of
the
Camp
,
&
vnto
fiue
others
that
shuld
haue
remained
prisoners
,
to
send
them
away
vppon
their
oathes
:
so
that
there
departed
out
of
the
said
Castle
,
about
40.
Gentemen
,
and
aboue
200.
souldiers
,
who
were
safely
conducted
halfe
way
vnto
Paris
.
His
Maiestie
considering
that
the
poore
towne
of
Estampes
in
foure
moneths
had
been
three
times
taken
,
and
that
although
it
had
been
necessarie
for
him
to
haue
kept
a
good
garrison
in
it
,
yet
notwithstanding
(
of
his
own
nature
being
as
easie
to
be
ouercome
with
pitie
and
clemencie
,
as
hee
is
inuincible
to
his
enemies
)
was
content
to
take
no
other
assurance
of
the
towne
,
than
the
oathes
of
the
inhabitants
,
wherein
hee
reposed
his
trust
.
And
further
,
to
put
them
out
of
doubt
,
that
the
castle
shuld
be
no
meane
of
their
rigorous
vsage
hereafter
,
he
determined
to
rase
the
said
castle
,
&
to
commit
the
keeping
of
the
town
to
the
townsmen
only
,
perswading
himself
that
they
comparing
the
vsage
which
they
had
had
at
his
hands
and
his
enemies
together
,
it
was
the
surest
Garrison
,
to
keepe
them
in
obedience
.
His
said
Maiestie
remained
ther
vntil
the
saturday
folowing
,
during
which
time
there
arriued
a
Gentleman
sent
from
the
Queene
Dowager
,
bringing
a
request
,
which
she
presented
vnto
his
Maiestie
for
to
beseech
him
,
to
shew
her
iustice
for
the
cruell
slaughter
committed
vpon
the
person
of
the
late
king
her
husband
.
His
Maiestie
deferred
the
aunswere
of
this
request
,
vntill
such
time
as
he
sate
in
counsell
;
where
beeing
the
daye
following
,
the
Gentleman
was
called
for
;
who
after
hee
had
deliuered
his
message
,
the
request
was
read
alowd
in
the
presence
of
al
the
Princes
Mareshalls
of
France
,
and
principall
Lords
and
Gentlemen
,
of
which
there
was
then
a
great
number
about
King
.
By
which
request
,
besides
the
desiring
of
his
Maiestie
,
she
did
adiure
not
onely
the
Princes
&
Nobilitie
of
France
,
but
also
all
the
Princes
of
Christendome
,
to
be
assisters
in
this
iust
cause
.
His
Maiestie
making
aunswere
himselfe
,
declared
that
he
highlie
commended
her
vehemencie
in
following
this
sute
,
and
sent
his
said
request
vnto
his
Court
of
Parliament
transported
to
Towers
,
that
his
Atturney
general
,
with
the
Atturuey
of
the
said
Ladie
,
might
make
the
information
against
the
offenders
,
to
the
intent
the
matter
might
bee
determined
afterward
in
his
presence
,
in
manner
and
forme
conuenient
.
And
for
his
owne
part
,
although
the
said
sute
were
commendable
in
the
said
Ladie
,
yet
he
wold
not
cease
to
prosecute
the
matter
,
but
vowed
in
the
presence
of
the
companie
,
that
he
would
imploy
his
trauaile
and
armes
,
vntill
such
time
as
he
had
done
the
iustice
,
that
God
had
appointed
him
to
doo
.
So
that
as
the
pitifull
termes
of
the
Request
of
the
said
Ladie
,
had
filled
the
eyes
of
all
the
hearers
with
teares
;
the
Princelie
answere
of
his
Maiestie
had
quickly
dried
them
with
a
desire
of
reuenge
.
At
which
time
was
renued
by
thē
all
with
a
lowd
voyce
,
the
oath
of
not
laying
downe
Armes
,
vntill
such
time
as
they
had
reuenged
the
hateful
death
of
the
late
King
their
master
:
&
to
haue
seene
their
countenances
,
it
had
not
been
for
the
profite
of
the
League
,
that
this
request
had
been
presented
at
the
day
of
a
Battaile
.
But
the
King
seeing
,
that
neither
shame
nor
losse
could
make
his
enimies
come
out
of
Paris
,
and
that
there
was
no
hope
of
bringing
them
to
battaile
,
but
by
extreame
necessitie
,
hee
sent
backe
againe
the
Duke
de
Longueuile
with
the
forces
that
he
had
brought
with
him
out
of
Picardie
,
to
refresh
themselues
in
the
said
Prouince
,
Monsieur
La
Nowe
returning
with
him
.
Hee
did
the
like
also
by
the
Lord
de
Giury
,
which
came
and
met
him
with
a
verie
good
troupe
at
his
departure
from
the
Suburbs
of
Paris
,
sending
him
toward
the
Countrey
of
Brie
:
and
with
the
rest
which
he
had
,
hee
was
determined
to
make
a
little
voyage
to
the
Riuer
of
Loir
,
beeing
called
thether
by
manie
occasions
:
and
this
hee
did
,
staying
vntill
his
strange
forces
that
arose
first
were
further
on
their
way
,
than
they
were
then
.
So
he
departed
from
Estampes
,
on
Saturday
the
x
.
of
Nouember
:
and
taking
his
waye
through
the
Countrey
of
Beausse
,
beeing
aduertised
that
the
towne
of
Ianuille
,
which
is
in
the
middest
of
the
same
,
stopt
all
the
passages
,
desired
to
winne
it
in
passing
.
And
being
arriued
vppon
the
Sundare
,
the
Captaine
that
was
in
it
,
made
a
shewe
of
defence
,
but
seeing
the
Canon
approach
,
yeelded
it
;
and
departing
with
200.
harquebuziers
,
his
Maiestie
entred
the
same
day
,
and
lodged
there
the
morow
after
:
those
of
the
towne
receiuing
no
displeasure
nor
discommoditie
,
no
more
than
if
they
neuer
had
reiected
the
obedience
of
his
Maiestie
.
The
King
leauing
good
garrison
in
the
Castle
,
which
is
a
reasonable
good
place
,
departed
thence
,
going
through
the
Land
of
Beausse
,
to
the
towne
of
Chasteaudun
.
Where
as
soone
as
hee
was
arriued
,
he
sent
to
summon
the
towne
of
Vandesme
,
which
is
his
auncient
patrimonie
,
and
the
auncient
title
of
his
predecessors
;
and
although
that
thereby
they
were
double
his
subiects
,
and
therefore
the
more
culpable
in
taking
his
enemies
part
:
yet
notwithstanding
he
hauing
a
more
care
to
keepe
them
from
further
offending
,
than
to
punish
them
for
their
first
fault
,
did
lodge
three
daies
at
the
said
Chasteaudun
,
for
to
giue
them
respite
to
aduise
themselues
.
But
God
who
reserued
them
for
an
example
of
his
iustice
,
would
not
suffer
them
to
accept
the
offers
which
his
Maiestie
offered
them
to
receiue
them
to
his
good
fauour
:
but
on
the
contrarie
becomming
more
insolent
and
stifnecked
,
constrained
him
to
assaile
them
.
Whilest
the
King
lodged
at
Chasteaudun
,
the
Captaine
of
the
Swisses
arriued
,
which
were
sent
by
and
by
after
the
death
of
the
late
King
deceased
by
the
Colonells
of
the
foure
Regiments
,
which
are
in
seruice
of
his
Maiestie
,
for
to
knowe
the
pleasure
of
their
superiours
,
whether
they
shuld
continue
in
the
seruice
,
or
aske
their
leaue
to
returne
?
Who
reported
vnto
his
Maiestie
,
besides
the
answere
which
they
gaue
vnto
their
said
Colonels
from
their
superiours
,
that
they
had
expresse
charge
from
them
to
giue
his
Maiestie
to
vnderstand
,
that
they
did
not
onely
command
the
Colonels
and
Captaines
of
the
said
Regiments
to
continue
in
dooing
him
good
and
faithfull
seruice
,
but
also
that
they
did
offer
him
all
such
other
succour
as
he
shuld
need
;
holding
from
that
hower
the
same
alliance
and
good
friendship
confirmed
with
his
Maiestie
,
which
they
haue
had
with
the
Kings
his
predecessors
;
which
is
a
thing
quite
contrarie
to
that
which
his
enemies
boasted
of
,
that
the
said
Regiments
should
bee
called
home
,
and
should
doo
his
Maiestie
no
seruice
.
Hee
departed
from
the
said
Chasteadun
the
fourteenth
of
Nouember
,
and
the
same
daye
his
Armie
inuironed
the
towne
of
Vandesme
.
The
King
arriuing
at
the
towne
of
Mellay
the
sixteenth
day
,
before
he
lighted
,
he
went
and
viewed
the
towne
and
castle
,
which
are
both
of
reasonable
strength
,
the
said
towne
beeing
inclosed
with
a
good
ditch
well
watred
,
and
with
a
good
wall
well
flanked
,
and
in
manie
places
rampered
within
.
The
Castle
was
much
stronger
,
beeing
scituated
vpon
an
hill
,
inuironed
with
a
good
ditch
towards
the
field
,
and
a
great
height
ouer
the
towne
,
the
wall
good
and
defended
with
manie
towers
.
The
gouernor
of
the
place
was
the
Lord
de
male-benehard
,
who
perceiuing
that
it
should
be
besieged
,
hee
called
vnto
him
certaine
Gentlemen
his
friends
,
and
kept
in
it
an
ordinarie
garrison
of
foure
Companies
of
footemen
,
which
were
foure
hundred
men
strong
,
besides
those
of
the
town
,
who
were
seuen
or
eight
hundred
men
bearing
armes
.
The
day
of
his
arriual
he
caused
the
suburbes
of
the
towne
to
be
wonne
,
&
parted
my
Lordes
the
Marshalls
de
Biron
and
d'Aumount
,
the
one
on
the
one
side
of
the
riuer
,
and
the
other
on
the
other
side
,
with
the
troupes
of
the
saide
Armie
.
And
hauing
well
considered
of
the
forme
of
the
siege
,
he
determined
first
to
deale
with
the
castle
,
which
was
of
most
strength
,
to
make
an
end
at
once
:
for
that
the
Castle
being
wonne
the
towne
could
not
escape
,
which
would
not
so
haue
happened
,
if
he
had
begun
with
the
towne
.
He
passed
Fridaie
and
Saturdaie
to
view
where
he
should
place
the
batterie
,
and
to
put
things
in
a
readines
:
wherein
the
presence
of
his
Maiestie
,
was
woorth
the
labour
of
fiftie
others
;
for
he
stird
not
from
the
worke
all
the
daye
long
,
and
part
of
the
night
.
In
the
meane
time
,
the
said
Malebenehard
who
had
before
(
whilest
the
King
was
at
Chasteadun
)
desired
to
parley
with
the
Lord
of
Richelieu
great
Prouost
of
France
,
with
whom
he
was
familiarlie
acquainted
:
afterward
,
when
as
the
saide
Prouost
did
goe
to
him
into
the
towne
,
he
knew
not
almost
what
hee
required
,
but
that
hee
desired
,
that
without
yeelding
the
place
,
the
Armie
might
retyre
.
Feeling
himselfe
afterward
pricked
in
conscience
,
&
in
danger
of
the
siege
,
he
required
againe
to
speake
with
the
said
Lord
of
Richelieu
,
who
retourning
the
second
time
,
came
backe
againe
as
vncertaine
and
ill
satisfied
as
at
the
first
.
Wherin
it
well
appeared
,
that
God
would
make
him
throughlie
feele
the
recompence
of
his
deserts
,
hauing
giuen
him
respite
inough
long
time
before
the
iudgement
happened
,
for
to
seeke
remedie
,
and
not
permitted
him
to
helpe
himselfe
with
resolution
,
as
it
came
to
passe
.
For
his
Maiestie
hauing
passed
all
the
night
in
conducting
and
placing
the
Artillerie
in
battaile
,
began
at
the
dawning
of
the
daye
to
beate
two
towers
of
the
Castle
,
to
take
away
the
defences
of
the
breach
,
which
hee
purposed
to
make
:
but
after
the
bestowing
of
an
hundred
or
an
hundred
and
twentie
Cannon
shot
,
and
hauing
made
a
hole
in
one
of
the
saide
Towers
,
where
onely
two
men
could
passe
in
front
,
the
Souldiers
desirous
of
the
assault
,
certaine
of
them
beeing
onely
commanded
to
see
if
they
could
lodge
in
the
said
Tower
,
Here
the
Englishmen
wold
haue
assaulted
,
and
were
impeached
by
Monsieur
Chattilion
,
and
expresly
forbidden
.
they
got
vp
,
and
with
a
furie
entered
the
retrenchment
:
and
being
followed
with
the
rest
,
some
conducted
by
the
Baron
of
Byron
,
and
others
by
the
Lord
of
Chastillion
,
they
made
those
with
in
so
dismaied
,
(
although
they
were
a
great
number
)
that
after
they
presented
the
combate
,
they
fled
;
and
abandoning
the
castle
ranne
into
the
towne
:
where
they
were
followed
so
neerelie
,
that
the
said
Lordes
with
part
of
the
said
Souldiers
,
entred
pell
mell
with
them
,
and
made
themselues
within
lesse
than
halfe
an
howre
masters
both
of
the
castle
&
towne
.
The
said
Male-beneherd
and
al
his
Souldiers
,
being
retired
into
an
house
,
did
yeeld
themselues
incontinent
vnto
the
aforesaid
Baron
of
Byron
,
not
otherwise
,
but
at
the
Kings
mercie
:
so
that
there
was
neuer
towne
seene
battered
&
taken
by
assault
(
as
it
was
)
with
lesse
murther
;
for
there
was
not
one
man
lost
of
the
Armie
,
&
few
of
his
enemies
,
his
said
Maiestie
hauing
pardoned
all
men
,
except
the
said
Beneherd
,
and
a
seditious
grey
Frier
,
(
whom
all
the
inhabitants
themselues
accused
to
be
the
author
of
their
mischiefe
)
were
executed
.
There
was
no
meane
to
keep
the
towne
from
pillaging
,
but
the
Churches
his
Maiestie
caused
carefully
to
be
preserued
,
that
there
entred
not
one
man
into
them
.
The
morrowe
after
,
hee
caused
his
men
of
warre
to
depart
the
Towne
,
and
suffered
the
Inhabitants
to
returne
to
their
houses
,
not
permitting
them
anie
longer
to
be
pillaged
and
ransomed
.
Hee
restored
all
the
Ecclesiasticall
persons
vnto
their
seuerall
charges
,
much
more
peaceablie
than
they
were
,
when
the
Towne
was
in
occupation
of
the
League
.
The
example
of
this
iustice
saued
more
than
a
thousand
mens
liues
:
for
foure
or
fiue
little
townes
thereabouts
,
who
professed
to
hold
against
the
King
,
taking
example
by
Vandosme
,
yeelded
themselues
in
lesse
than
foure
or
fiue
dayes
.
The
Castle
and
towne
of
Lauerden
began
first
,
and
were
followed
by
the
Townes
of
Mount-ouert
,
Mount-richard
,
and
Chateau-du-loyre
,
who
did
all
great
hurt
,
especially
to
Towers
,
keeping
the
passages
vnto
it
.
The
Towne
of
Vandosme
beeing
taken
,
finding
himselfe
so
neare
Towers
,
his
Maiestie
minded
to
make
a
small
iourney
thether
,
to
see
the
Lordes
of
his
Councell
,
and
to
determine
with
them
certaine
principles
of
his
businesse
:
leauing
in
the
meane
while
the
Armie
to
bee
conducted
by
the
Marshall
Byron
;
by
whose
presence
hee
reduced
all
the
aforesayde
Townes
,
except
Mount
richard
,
which
was
reduced
by
the
voyage
which
his
Maiestie
made
vnto
Towers
.
Hee
departed
from
Meslay
by
Vandosme
vppon
Tuesday
beeing
the
one
and
twentieth
of
Nouember
,
and
arriued
the
same
day
at
Towers
,
two
howers
within
night
:
where
hee
was
attended
with
so
great
ioye
and
gladnesse
of
all
the
people
of
Towers
,
and
such
stoare
of
lights
there
was
in
the
streates
at
his
arriuall
,
as
if
it
had
been
at
noone
daye
.
The
same
daye
at
night
,
my
Lorde
the
Cardinall
of
Vandosme
,
came
to
doo
reuerence
vnto
the
King
,
and
receiued
intertainment
and
countenaunce
agreeable
to
his
neerenesse
in
bloud
vnto
the
Kings
Maiestie
.
The
morrow
after
,
those
of
the
Parliament
,
came
personally
to
salute
and
acknowledge
the
King
;
the
first
President
making
the
Relation
:
which
charge
he
executed
in
substance
and
eloquence
most
happelie
,
and
to
the
great
contentment
of
his
Maiestie
.
All
the
other
bodies
of
the
Chamber
of
accompts
,
Court
of
aides
,
of
the
Finances
,
of
the
Iustices
of
the
law
,
and
the
Maior
and
Iurats
of
the
Towne
did
the
like
.
And
likewise
the
Ecclesiasticall
persons
of
the
town
,
all
with
great
shewe
of
ioye
,
and
hope
of
happie
and
quiet
Reigne
of
his
said
Maiestie
:
wherin
they
were
the
more
confirmed
by
the
answeres
which
they
receiued
likewise
from
him
,
in
excellent
tearmes
,
and
kingly
eloquence
.
The
same
day
the
Embassador
of
Venice
was
graunted
audience
:
where
hee
presented
first
of
all
the
letters
of
the
Signiorie
vnto
his
Maiestie
,
and
afterward
declared
the
ioy
they
had
of
his
happie
Succession
vnto
the
Crown
;
beseeching
him
to
accept
the
offer
of
the
friendship
of
the
said
Signiorie
vnto
his
Maiestie
,
&
to
promise
and
assure
them
of
his
,
to
maintaine
the
good
intercourse
betweene
his
Crowne
,
and
the
said
Signiorie
:
whereunto
his
Maiestie
aunswered
verie
well
and
wisely
.
Hee
was
determined
to
haue
staid
but
one
day
at
Towers
,
but
they
were
so
desirous
to
see
him
,
that
hee
could
not
depart
vntill
the
Saturday
following
.
At
which
time
,
with
one
iourney
hee
went
vnto
his
Armie
at
the
Castle
of
Loyre
,
which
is
ten
good
leagues
off
,
&
and
departed
thence
the
morrow
after
for
to
goe
toward
Mans
,
which
long
time
hee
was
desirous
to
besiege
.
He
lodged
twise
by
the
way
.
And
being
arriued
at
Yuray
leuesque
the
xxvij
.
daye
,
one
league
distance
from
the
said
towne
of
Mans
,
which
hee
had
caused
to
be
inuironed
the
day
before
by
the
Lord
of
Fargesse
:
he
sent
to
summon
the
said
town
.
Vnto
whom
the
Lord
of
Boisdauphin
(
which
commaunded
in
it
for
the
League
)
made
an
answere
,
as
if
hee
had
been
resolute
to
burie
himselfe
in
it
,
and
all
those
that
were
with
him
,
rather
than
to
depart
out
of
it
;
&
began
to
burne
a
great
part
of
the
Suburbes
of
La
Cousture
,
especiallie
that
part
which
was
without
the
retrenchment
of
the
said
Suburbes
.
But
the
said
Lord
of
Fargesse
came
vpon
them
with
his
troupe
,
and
saued
a
great
part
of
the
aforenamed
Suburbes
.
Immediately
after
the
Baron
Byron
,
and
Chastilion
arriued
with
the
greatest
part
of
the
French
Infanterie
,
by
whome
the
same
night
was
the
aforesaid
retrenchment
wonne
,
which
was
in
some
places
twentie
foote
high
,
and
might
easelie
haue
attended
the
Cannon
:
and
from
that
time
it
was
supposed
,
that
they
were
easier
to
be
dealt
with
,
than
was
looked
for
.
The
morrow
after
the
xxviij
.
of
the
said
moneth
of
Nouember
,
his
Maiestie
came
and
lodged
in
the
said
Suburbes
,
which
is
faire
,
and
in
a
maneer
more
commodious
to
lodge
in
,
than
the
Towne
.
And
the
same
daye
hee
caused
all
the
other
Suburbes
to
be
wonne
,
except
the
Suburbes
of
Saint
Iohn
,
that
was
on
the
other
side
of
the
Riuer
of
Sarthe
,
which
was
wonne
the
morrow
after
,
the
said
Boysdauphin
hauing
caused
more
than
halfe
to
bee
burned
,
and
that
which
was
next
the
bridge
,
which
was
the
fairest
housing
.
All
their
valour
appeared
in
nothing
but
in
that
.
For
three
daies
folowing
,
whilst
the
Gabeons
wer
a
making
and
other
preparatiues
necessarie
for
the
batterie
,
and
the
pieces
brought
to
their
places
,
his
Maiestie
himselfe
hauing
passed
whole
nights
therein
,
vppon
the
second
day
of
September
,
began
to
beat
certaine
defences
of
the
wall
of
the
said
Towne
.
Immediatelie
after
the
first
vollies
of
the
Cannon
,
that
braue
speach
which
they
had
giuen
at
the
summoning
of
the
Towne
,
was
turned
quite
contrarie
into
submission
.
So
that
Boisdauphin
and
his
people
not
imagining
that
they
should
haue
been
so
sharplie
delt
withall
(
for
within
three
houres
they
shoulde
haue
had
assault
giuen
them
,
which
they
were
not
wel
resolued
to
abide
)
demaunded
a
Parley
;
and
in
fine
before
two
of
the
clocke
in
the
afternoone
,
the
saide
Towne
was
yeelded
vnto
his
Maiestie
:
notwithstanding
that
there
were
in
it
more
than
an
hundred
gentlemen
,
and
twentie
ensignes
of
footemen
,
who
during
the
time
of
the
Parley
,
did
dishonour
each
other
publiquely
.
The
Gentlemen
said
,
that
the
Souldiers
would
not
fight
,
and
the
Souldiers
said
,
that
agaynst
their
wills
the
Gentlemen
would
compound
.
As
in
truth
it
was
a
thing
verie
strange
,
hauing
caused
the
people
to
spend
more
than
5000.
crownes
in
the
fortefying
of
the
Suburbs
of
their
Townes
,
burnt
more
than
a
100000.
crownes
worth
of
housing
,
and
(
as
it
is
said
)
ruined
the
Countrey
six
times
as
much
more
,
for
to
abide
three
vollyes
of
the
Cannon
,
and
afterward
to
yeeld
the
Towne
:
which
without
the
great
care
that
his
Maiestie
had
had
of
it
,
had
neuer
beene
kept
from
pillage
:
but
hee
commaunded
the
gates
to
be
kept
shut
.
And
to
the
intent
that
none
should
take
occasion
to
go
into
it
,
he
would
not
lodge
in
it
himselfe
,
but
kept
in
the
suburbes
where
he
first
was
lodged
.
There
were
two
soldiers
found
with
a
Chalice
which
they
had
stollen
,
and
were
hanged
immediately
,
although
they
were
knowen
to
be
men
of
value
.
The
thundring
of
the
Cannon
was
heard
at
Le
Fort-berne-herd
,
when
the
Counte
Brisaac
was
arriued
with
two
Regiments
to
succour
the
said
Town
of
Mans
:
who
was
so
made
afraid
,
that
he
ran
back
againe
12
leagues
;
and
in
retiring
,
fell
by
chance
into
the
Reisters
quarter
that
serued
his
Maiestie
,
who
would
not
dislodge
as
they
were
appointed
,
&
carried
away
for
their
bootie
30.
or
40.
horse
and
chariots
without
the
losse
of
anie
man
.
His
Maiestie
restored
first
into
the
towne
of
Mans
,
the
Bishop
and
the
Lord
of
Fargesse
his
brother
,
which
had
been
Gouernour
before
,
&
pardoned
the
rest
of
the
inhabitants
,
who
came
all
,
aswell
Ecclesiasticall
,
as
other
,
to
giue
him
thankes
,
with
protestation
of
their
fidelitie
and
perfect
obedience
.
During
the
aboad
,
which
the
King
made
at
Mans
,
fiue
daies
after
the
taking
of
it
,
the
Castle
of
Beaumont
yeelded
first
of
all
,
and
the
Castle
of
Touvoie
,
and
likewise
the
greatest
part
of
the
Gentlemen
,
which
were
in
the
Towne
of
Mans
,
and
others
which
had
been
seduced
by
the
League
,
&
put
them selues
into
the
Kings
seruice
;
who
was
accompanied
in
that
siege
with
more
than
fiue
hundred
Gentlemen
of
the
Prouinces
thereabout
.
Amongst
whom
there
were
manie
Marquesses
,
Counties
,
and
other
great
Lords
.
At
that
time
the
Townes
of

,
Chasteaugountere
,
which
are
all
Townes
of
importance
,
and
manie
others
which
are
not
of
so
great
name
,
were
reduced
vnto
the
King
.
Before
his
departure
from
Mans
,
his
Maiestie
was
determined
to

Towne
and
Castle
of
Alanson
:
and
whilest

vnder
the
conduct
of
the
Lord
Marshall
Byron
,
and
of
the
Lord
Baron
Byron

he
thought

his
obedience
,
and
likewise
to
cause
the
Prince
Dumbees
to

thether
whom
his
Maiestie
desired

He
arriued
at
the
said

of
December
,
and
there
came
and
met

and

of
one

There
came

and
the

And

himselfe
of
the
Castle
,
without
leauing
anie
other
Garrison
in
the
Towue
.
Hee
arriued
at
Alanson
the
three
and
twentieth
daye
,
hauing
passed
a
most
foule
Countrey
.
And
as
concerning
my
Lord
Marshall
Byron
,
who
departed
with
the
Armie
from
the
Towne
of
Mans
the
ninth
day
of
the
said
moneth
of
December
,
hee
could
not
arriue
at
Alanson
till
the
fifteenth
daye
following
,
by
reason
of
the
foule
waie
,
Here
the
English
entred
a
bulwarke
or
rauelin
,
wel
inuironed
and
defended
with
water
,
by
pulling
downe
a
draw
bridg
with
a
hooke
,
and
wold
haue
assaied
to
to
enter
the
towne
,
but
them
arshal
Byron
forbad
them
expreslie
.
which
hindred
the
carriage
of
the
Ordinaunce
:
and
hauing
caused
the
Towne
to
be
inuironed
certaine
dayes
before
by
the
Lord
of
Artray
,
who
at
his
first
comming
tooke
the
Suburbes
,
and
droue
them
of
the
Towne
afterward
to
come
to
composition
,
and
yeeld
;
Captaine
Lago
(
which
was
Gouernour
)
retiring
himselfe
into
the
Castle
with
foure
hundred
and
fiftie
Souldiers
,
making
shewe
that
he
would
defend
it
;
the
place
being
verie
good
and
strong
,
inuironed
with
water
,
good
walls
,
good
flankes
,
and
great
Towers
.
The
saide
Lord
Marshall
beeing
entered
into
the
Towne
,
kept
so
good
order
in
it
,
that
it
was
not
seen
that
it
had
been
besieged
,
the
shops
beeing
kept
open
the
same
daye
,
as
if
it
had
been
in
peace
.
At
the
hower
of
the
entrie
,
he
caused
the
artillerie
to
be
brought
before
the
Castle
,
and
shot
at
the
defences
,
and
had
so
farre
proceeded
in
this
businesse
,
that
hauing
found
meanes
to
take
away
their
water
,
he
could
in
little
space
haue
made
breach
.
His
Maiestie
being
arriued
as
aforesaid
,
he
shewed
him
all
that
was
done
,
and
also
what
was
intended
to
bee
done
:
who
answered
immediatelie
that
the
siege
wold
not
be
long
,
The
said
Captaine
Lago
that
was
in
the
Castle
did
imagine
little
lesse
,
and
at
the
summons
which
his
Maiestie
did
cause
to
be
made
,
for
to
declare
that
hee
was
come
,
he
began
to
be
astonied
:
and
the
morrow
after
he
parleyed
,
and
the
same
day
the
composition
was
agreed
vppon
,
to
saue
his
life
and
his
souldiers
,
with
their
armes
and
baggage
.
His
Maiestie
hauing
foreseene
for
the
assuraunce
of
the
said
place
,
left
for
Gouernor
the
Lord
Artray
,
with
a
good
garrison
in
the
Towne
and
Castle
,
and
departing
the
seuen
and
twentieth
daye
,
he
went
and
lodged
at
Seas
,
where
the
Bishop
and
Cleargie
with
the
Maiestrates
came
and
met
him
,
and
receiued
him
so
well
,
that
hee
trusted
vnto
the
inhabitants
of
the
place
,
without
leauing
therein
anie
other
Garrison
.
He
departed
thence
the
morrow
after
for
to
go
to
Argenton
,
which
is
a
good
Towne
,
in
which
there
is
a
Castle
of
reasonable
strength
:
and
there
was
in
the
said
Towne
and
Castle
three
Ensignes
of
footemen
,
which
the
Countie
of
Brisaac
had
lefte
there
:
who
with
the
Cheualier
Picard
and
his
Regiment
were
come
from
Paris
,
and
had
promised
to
shew
himselfe
at
all
the
sieges
which
his
Maiestie
woulde
take
in
hand
,
and
impeach
him
from
the
taking
of
anie
of
the
Townes
in
the
Countrey
of
Maine
,
and
base
Normandie
:
notwithstanding
hee
shewed
himselfe
at
none
.
Those
of
the
Towne
of
Argenton
,
being
determimined
to
yeeld
vnto
his
Maiestie
,
came
&
met
him
,
most
humbly
beseeching
him
to
receiue
them
into
his
fauonr
,
which
he
graunted
them
most
willingly
;
which
the
Souldiers
seeing
,
retired
themselues
into
the
Castle
;
beseeching
his
Maiestie
to
suffer
them
to
depart
with
their
liues
&
baggage
,
which
he
consented
vnto
.
His
maiestie
was
aduertised
the
same
day
,
that
those
of
the
Garrison
of
the
Castle
of
Damfront
,
vnderstanding
that
he
had
summoned
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Towne
,
and
that
they
were
determined
to
acknowledge
the
King
,
entered
into
consultation
what
they
should
doo
,
being
of
contrarie
opinions
,
and
therevpon
put
themselues
in
Armes
one
against
another
:
It
hapned
,
that
those
that
would
submit
themselues
to
his
Maiestie
although
they
were
not
halfe
so
manie
in
number
as
as
the
others
were
,
encouraged
with
the
Iustice
of
their
cause
,
had
the
Victorie
:
and
the
Baron
of
Vernie
gouernour
of
the
said
Castle
was
slaine
,
and
certeine
other
:
whereupon
aswell
those
of
the
Castle
as
those
of
the
Towne
sent
vnto
the
King
to
craue
his
fauour
and
clemencie
,
which
they
obteined
.
And
he
sent
vnto
the
Towne
to
bee
assured
of
both
parties
,
which
was
done
,
without
omitting
anie
force
or
excesse
.
The
King
remaining
for
this
cause
one
whole
day
at
Argenton
,
departed
thence
vpon
Sundaye
the
one
and
thirtieth
of
December
,
for
to
goe
to
the
siege
of
Falese
,
the
Castle
whereof
is
verie
strong
,
&
esteemed
to
be
the
best
place
in
base
Normandie
,
next
vnto
the
Castle
of
Caen
,
and
therefore
the
Counte
of
Brisac
put
himselfe
into
it
,
with
the
Cheualier
Picard
and
his
Regiment
,
hauing
wonne
vnto
them
manie
Gentlemen
and
Souldiers
of
the
Countrey
,
vaunting
that
they
would
repay
the
honour
of
their
companions
,
who
had
yeelded
and
lost
all
the
other
Townes
,
and
that
at
this
place
,
all
the
spoyles
that
had
been
gotten
,
should
be
surrendred
.
His
Maiestie
the
night
before
,
had
sent
the
Baron
of
Byron
to
inuiron
it
,
with
certaine
Troupes
of
men
of
warre
,
aswell
foote
as
horse
,
who
came
thether
so
happely
,
that
he
found
the
Conte
of
Brisac
come
out
of
the
Towne
,
purposing
to
burne
the
Towne
of
Guibray
,
which
is
as
it
were
one
of
the
Suburbes
of
Faleze
.
Who
perceiuing
the
said
Troupes
,
the
fier
he
brought
with
him
was
not
anye
waye
able
to
heate
him
so
much
as
to
make
him
abide
them
,
but
returning
with
all
speede
into
the
Towne
,
hee
lefte
Guibray
whole
:
and
the
said
Baron
de
Byron
did
not
onely
ceaze
vpon
it
to
lodge
his
Maiestie
,
but
also
at
the
same
instant
did
make
them
runne
away
out
of
the
Suburbes
of
the
Towne
,
ioyning
euen
to
the
gate
,
part
whereof
they
themselues
had
burned
a
litle
before
.
His
Maiestie
beeing
arriued
,
went
presently
with
the
Mareshall
of
Byron
to
viewe
the
Towne
and
Castle
,
which
are
both
strong
;
the
said
Towne
beeing
inuironed
with
a
great
poole
,
whose
water
could
not
be
drawen
away
,
the
wall
being
good
,
and
flanked
with
good
towers
,
and
the
approaches
difficile
for
the
planting
of
Ordinaunce
;
the
Castle
beeing
much
stronger
,
garnished
with
great
and
strong
towers
and
verie
good
wals
,
with
a
donion
seperated
,
ditched
with
good
and
great
ditches
:
and
besides
all
this
the
Counte
of
Brisac
well
accompanied
with
Gentlemen
,
Captaines
and
Souldiers
,
with
a
great
showe
that
hee
would
not
haue
made
this
proofe
but
with
intent
to
get
honour
,
and
to
defend
the
place
effectuallie
,
as
in
deede
vnto
the
Summons
which
his
Maiestie
did
make
the
next
day
,
he
made
an
answere
conuenient
vnto
such
a
resolution
,
which
was
that
he
had
vowed
vnto
God
,
that
he
would
neuer
speak
of
anie
composition
for
that
Towne
,
which
made
all
men
thinke
,
that
he
would
haue
defended
it
better
than
he
did
.
His
Maiestie
(
whose
presence
in
such
like
affaires
is
the
perfect
schoole
of
extreame
diligence
,
determined
so
to
begin
,
as
that
he
would
not
make
2.
workes
of
one
)
did
batter
the
Castle
;
for
that
the
Castle
being
wonne
,
the
Towne
could
not
hold
out
,
and
caused
the
morrowe
after
,
with
great
expedition
,
Gabions
to
be
made
for
the
batterie
,
bags
to
be
filled
with
earth
,
and
all
things
necessarie
to
be
done
.
Which
was
so
diligently
followed
,
that
in
lesse
than
three
dayes
all
was
in
a
readinesse
,
and
had
begun
to
batter
vpon
the
Thursday
,
but
that
he
stayed
for
three
Cannons
which
Mounsieur
Montpensier
brought
him
out
of
the
Castle
of
Caen
:
which
could
not
arriue
at
the
said
siege
vntill
that
verie
day
.
With
the
Duke
Montpensier
there
came
betwixt
twelue
and
fifteene
hundred
French
Souldiers
,
and
a
good
Troupe
of
the
Gentlemen
of
the
Countrey
,
&
certaine
Companies
of
men
of
Armes
.
Those
with
in
the
Towne
did
neuer
sallye
out
:
but
otherwise
made
alwaies
a
good
shewe
of
a
resolution
in
them
,
and
in
their
words
were
ouer
lauish
,
performing
afterward
so
little
as
they
did
.
His
Maiestie
pretending
to
make
three
batteries
,
two
of
which
,
from
sundrie
parts
should
batter
at
the
breach
of
the
said
Castle
;
and
the
third
to
bee
placed
vpon
a
Rocke
,
which
should
scoure
curtaine
wise
along
,
behinde
the
breach
of
the
said
Castle
.
Hee
began
vpon
Friday
the
fifth
day
of
Ianuarie
at
eight
of
the
clocke
to
beate
two
great
towers
,
which
flanked
from
the
one
vnto
the
other
;
the
one
of
which
serued
for
a
defence
vnto
the
breach
,
which
he
purposed
to
make
.
After
the
bestowing
of
foure
hundred
Cannon
shot
,
the
top
of
one
of
the
Towers
beeing
fallen
,
and
a
hole
being
made
in
the
other
tower
that
defended
the
breache
,
which
hole
opened
into
the
said
Castle
,
his
Maiestie
caused
it
to
be
battered
for
the
speedie
breach
which
would
be
made
in
it
:
for
there
needed
but
the
beating
away
of
a
little
piece
of
the
wall
.
Then
he
commaunded
certaine
Troupes
of
Souldiers
,
to
goe
and
viewe
if
they
could
lodge
in
the
said
Tower
,
vpon
which
certain
of
them
entring
the
hole
,
which
was
pierced
through
the
Tower
into
the
Castle
,
finding
no
resistance
,
called
their
companions
,
and
so
entring
one
after
another
,
in
verie
short
space
they
became
Masters
both
of
Castle
and
Towne
.
Those
within
being
sore
dismaied
,
without
anie
fight
they
retired
them selues
into
the
Donion
spoken
of
before
;
out
of
which
they
sent
three
Gentlemen
the
same
daye
,
to
beseech
the
King
to
receaue
them
vpon
anie
composition
;
who
aunswered
,
that
he
would
not
receane
them
,
but
at
his
own
pleasure
;
and
that
they
should
prooue
his
clemencie
,
without
binding
himselfe
vnto
anie
condition
.
Yet
notwithstanding
,
the
morrowe
after
suffering
the
Countie
Brisac
to
come
and
submit
himselfe
vnto
him
,
he
being
ouercome
with
the
pitie
he
had
vpon
the
young
Gentleman
,
graunted
to
chuse
fifteene
of
the
best
of
them
,
whom
he
would
keepe
prisoners
as
warlike
enemies
,
and
the
rest
should
be
at
his
Maiesties
disposition
.
It
were
not
well
done
to
take
away
the
Souldiers
honour
that
were
at
this
siege
,
who
in
truth
did
their
indeuour
:
but
wee
must
acknowledge
this
to
haue
been
Gods
worke
,
as
a
thing
most
admirable
vnto
vs
that
saw
it
,
that
at
one
instant
those
that
seemed
to
be
furious
Lions
,
were
metamorphosid
into
meeker
things
than
Lambes
.
The
Towne
being
thus
taken
by
assault
,
could
not
be
preserued
from
pillaging
and
saccaging
:
so
that
by
this
may
comparison
be
made
,
between
the
intertainment
that
those
receiue
,
which
flie
vnto
his
Maiesties
clemencie
,
and
those
which
obstinately
attend
the
force
of
his
Armie
;
the
one
being
made
whollie
desolate
,
and
the
other
reioycing
in
a
full
and
perfect
quietnes
,
making
a
profit
of
their
losse
,
obtaining
by
their
taking
and
reduction
free
libertie
,
in
stead
of
the
hard
captiuitie
which
they
suffered
vnder
the
vnlawfull
gouernment
of
others
.
It
is
to
be
well
considered
,
of
what
great
value
the
wise
and
happie
gouernement
of
his
Maiestie
hath
been
;
his
enemies
being
constrained
to
confesse
,
that
it
is
to
be
wondered
at
,
and
vntill
this
time
vnknowen
,
hauing
in
lesse
than
two
moneths
trauailed
eightscore
leagues
,
with
such
a
great
Armie
as
his
,
troubled
with
a
great
deale
of
Ordinaunce
,
manie
Switzers
,
and
other
strange
Nations
;
and
in
this
time
taking
the
Suburbes
of
Paris
,
made
fiue
or
sixe
notable
sieges
,
taken
fourteene
or
fifteene
notable
towns
,
hauing
eleared
the
Prouinces
of
Vandesme
,
Tourain
,
Aniou
,
and
Maine
,
of
all
that
his
enemies
helde
:
and
not
onelie
recouered
the
Townes
,
but
the
hearts
and
affections
of
those
that
most
hated
him
.
All
his
exploites
being
done
by
the
force
of
his
armes
,
and
presence
,
and
terror
of
the
same
;
without
practises
of
treasons
,
murders
,
monopoles
,
or
fraudes
:
leauing
those
guiles
,
vnto
those
that
deale
with
vniust
actions
,
assuring
himselfe
his
cause
to
bee
so
iust
,
that
it
was
able
to
support
it selfe
without
the
helpe
of
anie
thing
of
a
contrarie
nature
,
hauing
alwaies
this
commendable
maxime
in
regard
,
that
euil
can
neuer
serue
to
anie
good
purpose
.
Is
it
possible
that
GOD
hath
so
condemned
the
poore
inhabitants
of
Towns
,
that
he
wil
suffer
them
anie
longer
to
be
so
blinded
in
spirit
and
bodie
,
as
not
to
consider
of
the
mischiefes
wherin
they
haue
plunged
themselues
,
and
howe
those
vnto
whome
they
giue
themselues
ouer
,
and
receiue
for
friendes
,
become
immediatelie
the
cruellest
enemies
they
can
haue
:
who
after
they
haue
sucked
from
them
al
that
they
can
drawe
,
while
they
are
with
them
,
and
by
little
and
little
made
them
subiects
to
the
simplest
soldiers
of
their
troupes
,
if
there
bee
anie
brute
of
the
Kings
Armie
comming
,
in
stead
of
preparing
to
preserue
the
people
,
vse
no
other
industrie
,
but
to
burne
halfe
their
Townes
,
and
the
greatest
part
of
the
Villages
within
two
miles
round
about
,
then
making
them
to
trauaile
daye
and
night
in
making
rampiers
and
retrenchments
:
and
yet
when
they
are
besieged
,
if
they
doo
but
see
the
Cannon
,
thinke
themselues
excused
of
their
honour
,
in
making
their
composition
to
depart
with
their
liues
and
baggage
saued
;
leauing
no
token
behinde
them
of
their
protection
,
but
one
halfe
of
the
Townes
in
ashes
,
&
the
people
with
a
halter
about
their
neckes
:
so
that
if
the
Prince
they
haue
to
deale
with
were
not
mercifull
,
a
whole
forrest
could
not
furnish
for
gallowes
that
would
be
employed
.
Is
it
possible
that
they
see
not
nor
know
not
(
that
those
which
haue
beene
so
readie
to
mooue
vp
these
seditions
,
are
now
so
audacious
&
malicious
as
to
maintaine
them
?
and
that
his
Maiestie
defending
his
kingdome
against
tyrannie
,
his
people
against
strangers
,
and
iustice
against
iniquitie
)
the
successe
of
his
enterprises
,
must
needes
be
correspondent
to
the
equitie
of
his
cause
;
that
ineuitable
destruction
will
come
vpon
them
that
resist
him
,
if
the
word
of
God
(
as
it
is
)
be
true
.
For
our
parts
,
we
most
humblie
beseech
God
,
to
make
them
able
to
consider
and
acknowledge
it
,
and
aboue
all
things
,
that
it
woulde
please
God
to
preserue
his
Maiestie
,
from
al
mishaps
that
might
happen
vnto
his
person
,
and
prolong
his
life
:
for
so
great
need
haue
we
of
France
of
his
presence
,
that
the
ordinarie
course
of
the
longest
liuers
would
be
but
too
short

AFter

of

the
King

he
himselfe
with
his
Armie

to
weete

the

Lants-knights
went
vnto
Lizeux

within
ten
dayes
after
he
tooke
:
and
from

his
Maiestie
went
vnto
Humflet

he
did
batter
vpon

At
