In great courage and force did she and hir people sundrie times assaile him, but he with his (though much vnder in number) by meanes of his archers in good order set, did so hardilie withstand them, that for the first and second push she rather lost than wan? Wherat this captinesse striken into a fret|ting chafe, called out in all hast the garrison of Laig|nie, and from other the forts thereabout, who thicke and threefold came downe with might and maine, in armour and number so far excéeding Franquets, that though they had doone hir much hurt in hir horse|men; yet by the verie multitude were they oppressed, most in hir furie put to the sword; & as for to Fran|quet that worthie capteine himselfe, hir rage not ap|peased, till out of hand she had his head stroken off: contrarie to all manhood (but she was a woman, if she were that) & contrarie to common right & law of armes. The man for his merits was verie much la|mented, and she by hir malice then found of what spi|rit EEBO page image 604 she was.]
