After that the duke of Excester was retur|ned to Pont Larch, the French capteins within Rone set fire on the suburbs, beat downe churches, cut downe trées, shred the bushes, destroied the vines round about the citie, to the intent that the English|men should haue no reléefe nor comfort either of lod|ging or [...]ewell.Rone besieged by K. Henrie. When the king heard of these despite|full dooings, he with his whole armie remooued from Pont Larch, and the last daie of Iulie came before the citie of Rone, and compassed it round about with a strong siege. This citie was verie rich in gold, sil|uer, and other pretious things, in so much that when the same was taken and seized vpon by the English, the spoile was verie great and excéeding aduantag|able: which the compiler of Anglorum praelia hath ve|rie well noted, in a few lines, but pithie; saieng:

Praedas, in patriam perpulchra trophaea remittit.
