[1] After the peace was concluded, the Englishmen were permitted to enter into the towne of Amiens, and there to buie all such necessarie things as they [page 699] wanted, and had plenti [...] of wine (for the French king had sent into their armie a hundred carts of the best wine that could be gotten) and good cheere made them of his owne costs. For at the enterie of euerie gate, there were two long tables set on euerie side of the street where they should passe; and at euerie table fiue or six gentlemen of the best companions of all the countrie were appointed to interteine the Eng|lishmen as they entered, not onelie to sée them ser|ued without lacking [but also to drinke and make good cheere, Abr. Flem. ex Edw. Hall. fol. Ccxxxiij. and kéepe companie with them. And euer as they entered into the towne, they were taken by the bridels and in maner inforced to drinke, whereso|euer they came they paied no monie, but were sent scot free.] This chéere lasted thrée or foure daies not onelie to the French kings cost, but also to his vn|quietnesse at length, doubting to haue béene dispos|sessed of his towne.
