The Frenchmen were so afraid of the Eng|lishmen, that they fled out of their houses, and left the townes and villages void, conueieng such goods as they could awaie with them, but oftentimes they left good store behind them, so that the Englishmen gained greatlie, and namely at Anchor, which was a rich towne, and vpon the Englishmens approch the inhabitants fled out of it, and then the Englishmen entred. They tooke also the castell of Bounegard, and put therein a garison,The castell of Bounegard manned by the English|men. whereof was capteine the lord Leonard Greie, brother to the marquesse Dorset, to conduct vittellers to the armie, which now was farre from anie succours of the English part.

This towne strandeth on the riuer of Some foure and twentie English miles from Arras, and foureteene of the same miles aboue Amiens. On the twentith of October, the duke caused his ordinance to be brought afore it by foure of the clocke in the mor|ning, the which was so well applied in making bat|terie to the walles of the towne, that by nine of the clocke the towne was made assaultable; and then the Englishmen, Flemings & Burgognians made forward, and by the good comfort of the lord Sandes and other capteins, they got the diches, and after en|tred vpon the walles. The Frenchmen stood at de|fense with pikes, crossebowes, handguns, and hal|bards, but they were too weake, for on all parts en|tred the Englishmen, and suddenlie the Frenchmen fled, and the Englishmen followed.
