Notwithstan|ding they besieged the towne of Hereford west,

Hereford west manfullie de|fended.

Enguerant de Monstrelle [...] saith they burnt the townes but could not win the castell.

which neuerthelesse was so well defended by the earle of A|rundell and his power, that they lost more than they wan, and so they departed towards the towne of Denbigh, where they found Owen Glendouer abi|ding for their comming, with ten thousand of his Welshmen. Here were the Frenchmen ioifullie re|ceiued of the Welsh rebels, and so when all things were prepared, they passed by Glamorganshire to|wards Worcester,The suburbs of Worcester burnt. and there burnt the suburbes: but hearing of the kings approch, they suddenlie retur|ned towards Wales.
