[1] [2] Within two or three daies after this ouerthrow, king Philip with the English armie,The siege [...] Quintins, [...] the same taken and sacked. vnder the go|uernement of the earle of Penbroke, and others, came to the siege afore saint Quintins, & so was the siege greatlie reinforced; and on the seuen and twen|tith of August by the speciall aid & helpe of the Eng|lishmen, the towne of saint Quintins was taken. For when the other soldiours, after diuerse assaults were repelled and gaue ouer, the Englishmen of a stout courage gaue a new onset, by reason whereof the [...]owne was taken. And in reward of their well dooing, king Philip granted them the saccage of the said towne. But then the swart Rutters, which keepe no rule when they be strongest, set vpon the English|men, in taking of the spoile, and killed a great num|ber of them. This grudge was with much difficultie appeased, & men thought that if the Englishmen be|ing much fewer in number had not béene oppressed with the multitude of the other, that it would haue growne to a great slaughter on both parts.The lord Henrie Dud|leie slaine with the shot of a gun. At the as|sault the lord Henrie Dudleie, yoongest sonne to the duke of Northumberland was slaine with the shot of a great péece, as he stooped vpon his approch vnto the wall, and staid to rip his hose ouer the knée, there|by to haue béene the more apt and nimble to the as|sault. This was his end, of whome one saith thus:

—Henricus Dudleius heros,

Ille annis generosam animam inuenilibus efflat,

Quem referunt socij slentes in castra peremptum,

Vt mos christicolae est, velatum sindone, gentis.
