Also the earle of North|ampton fetched a bootie out of Arthois, Iac.

Sir Arnold stood valiantlie to his defense, and would not yéeld, till by verie force the Englishmen entered the citie, slue the soldiers,Terrouan woon by [...] and tooke their capteine the said sir Arnold prisoner. The citie was put to sacke, and after set on fire. And when the Englishmen were departed, there came a number of Flemings from the siege, which they had [page 375] [...]aid before S. Omers, and began a new spoile, and fired such houses belonging to the canons and other, which the Englishmen had spared. Thus were those confines in most miserable case, for no house nor o|ther thing was in safegard, but such as were contei|ned within closure of strong townes and fortresses.
