The Welsh|mens good seruice. and by force made them|selues waie through the French campe, getting without losse or danger vnto a great wood, and slue that day of their aduersaries aboue an hundred men. After this, lieng abroad in the countrie, they skirmi|shed dailie with the French horssemen, Nic. Triuet. and oft times cut off such prouision of vittels as came to nourish the campe. The king himselfe on the other side remai|ning within the citie, caused his people to issue out at the gates, and to kéepe the enimies occupied with skirmishes afore the citie. And moreouer, Rog. Houed. where there was a great trench cast betwixt the French campe and the walles of the citie, he caused the same to be filled vp with fagots, stones, and earth.
