And in Iulie the king sent ouer six thousand men, vnder the leading of sir Iohn Wallop, appointed to haue the generall conduction of them, accompanied with di|uerse other knights, esquiers and gentlemen right hardie and valiant.

Itali|ans, and others, come to the rescue, pitching downe his campe, making countenance as if he ment pre|sentlie to giue battell: and verelie it was thought that two such powers as were there at that time so néere togither, should neuer haue departed without battell. The emperor thinking suerlie to fight, raised his siege, and drew his people into the field. The Frenchmen thereby espieng their aduantage, put as well fresh men as vittels, and all kind of muniti|on necessarie into the towne, and in the meane while kept the emperours people occupied with hot skir|mishes.
