Wherof the lord of Offemont being aduertised, with a com|panie of chosen persons sent by the Dolphin, assaied in the night season to enter the towne, to the suc|cours of them within.

The capteins within, perceiuing in what case they stood, by reason their succours were thus intercep|ted, and doubting to be taken by assault, for that they wanted munition and weapon, began to treat with the king of England, who appointed the earle of Warwike, and the lord Hungerford, to commune with them; and in conclusion an accord was taken, and so the towne and market place with all the goods were deliuered into the king of Englands hands, the tenth daie of Maie, in the yeare 1422.

As first, the capteine of the towne, named the bastard of Uauren, the which had doone manie gréeuous oppressions to the people of the countrie thereabouts, in spoiling them of their goods and ransoming them at his pleasure. He had also put diuerse to death most cruellie, when they were not able to paie such finance and ransomes as he deman|ded. Wherevpon, being now put to death himselfe, his bodie was hanged vpon a trée that stood on an hill without the towne, on the which he had caused both husbandmen and townesmen, with other priso|ners, to be hanged before time. His standard also, which was woont to be borne before him in battell, was set vp in the same trée. The bailiffe also of the towne, and two of the chéefest burgesses that had béene of counsell with him in his vnlawfull dooings, were likewise executed. Also beside these, there were found in this towne diuerse that were accused to be guiltie of the duke of Burgognies death, wherefore they were put to their triall, in the parlement at Pa|ris, and some of them being found guiltie, were exe|cuted.
