[1] The Britons Britonants were come downe into a low bottome, where there was a little pond or fish|poole, and they must néeds passe by a streict waie to come to the walles in great danger. On that side of the towne was a little bulworke,Sir Nicho|las Burdet. which sir Nicholas Burdet kept, hauing with him a fortie or eightie fighting men: and ouer against the same bulworke there was a gate well furnished also with English souldiers; so that the Britons which came downe in|to the ditches in great number to giue the assault, heard on either side them the Englishmen (within the said bulworke and gate) make a great noise, in crieng Salisburie and Suffolke; with the which crie the Britons being maruelouslie astonied, began to recoile in great disorder. And therewith the said sir Nicholas Burdet issued foorth vpon them, Enguerant de Monstrellet. and pur|suing them right valiantlie, s [...]ue them downe, so that there died of them what by the sword, and what by drowning in the said poole, about seauen thousand or eight hundred, and to the number of fiftie were taken prisoners. And beside this, those Englishmen gained eightéene standards and one baner.
