The Alman fought sore with the duke, which imagined that he was a person set on for the nonce,The duke foiles the Alman. but the duke by pure strength tooke him about the necke, and pomeled him so about the head that the bloud issued out of his nose, and then they were par|ted, and the Alman was conueied by the Dolphin least he should be knowne. These two noblemen of England that daie fought valiantlie diuerse feats, and the Frenchmen likewise noblie them defended. But it happened the lord Marquesse on a time to put for his aid his yoongest brother called the lord Ed|ward Greie of the age of nintéene yeare, and to him was put a gentleman of France of great stature and strength,The yoong lord Greies prowesse. to the intent to plucke him ouer the barres, but yet the yoong lord was of such strength, power, & policie, that he so stroke his aduersarie that he disarmd him, all the face bare. Thus were these en|terprises finished to the land of all parties, & the Eng|lishmen receiued much honor and no spot of rebuke, yet they were priuilie set at & in manie ieopardies.

For the declaration of this triumph, he that saw it can tell how goodlie the coursers trotted, bounded, and quicklie turned: how valiantlie the men of armes behaued themselues,A description of the pompe and brauerie in apparell at this solemne tilt. and how the duke of Burbons band was apparrelled and bassed in taw|nie veluet, and cloth of siluer cloudie, the band of the earle of saint Paule apparrelled and barded in pur|ple veluet all to cut on purple sattin, the infant of Arragon, sonne to Frederike last king of Naples, and his band all in cloth of gold and siluer paled. This lord was but yoong, but yet verie toward. The duke of Uandosme and his band in cloth of gold and plun|ket veluet. The Dolphin and his aids were euerie daie new apparrelled at his cost, one daie in siluer and gold, another in crimsin veluet and yellow vel|uet, and another daie in white veluet and greene, some daie mixed with sattin, some daie embrodered, some daie pounced with gold, and so euerie daie in change as the woorkers fantasie could deuise, but the Eng|lishmen had euer on their apparrell red crosses to be knowne for loue of their countrie.

At this triumph the countie Galeas came into the place on a genet trapped in blew satten, and he himselfe likewise apparrelled, and ran a course with a speare, which was at the head fiue inches on euerie side square, that is twentie inches about, and at the butt nine inches square, that is six and thirtie inches, this speare was massie timber, and yet for all that he ran cleane with it a long course and slightlie auoided it to his great honour.Anthonie Bounarme with his ten speares all at once about him. Also there was another gen|tleman called Anthonie Bounarme, which came in|to the field all armed, and on his bodie brought in sight ten speares, that is to wit, three speares set in euerie stirrop forward, and vnder euerie thigh two speares vpward, and vnder his left arme was one speare backward, and the tenth in his hand; and when he came before the quéene, he let his horsse run, and neuer stopped till he had taken euerie speare after o|other and broken it on the ground, and he neuer stop|ped his horsse till all were broken. This gentleman was highlie praised, and so he was worthie. When all this great triumph was doone, the lords of England tooke their leaue, and were highlie thanked of the king, queene, Dolphin, and all the lords, and so depar|ted and came into England before Christmas. ¶In Nouember the quéene was deliuered of a prince which liued not long after.]
