THe same seson that the englysshemen were thus in counsayle / and had determy¦ned to haue departed: there came to them a knyght from the countesse of Mountforte called Garnyer lorde of Ca∣dudall with a hūdred men of armes. And assone as he was come and knewe all their demenour: h•• sayde nay sirs lette vs nat thus tourne agay∣ne / leape on your horses and suche as haue non lette them come a fote. Lette vs nowe go loke on our ennemyes: for nowe they thynke them selfe sure I warant we shall dysconfet thē. Than the horsemen rode forthe and the fotemen folowed / and aboute the sonne rysinge they dasshed into the lorde Charles ho••st / and euery manne ther was a slepe and a•• rest / for they thought to haue no more a do at that tyme. Thenglysshmen and bretous bete downe tentes and pauilyons / and slewe people downe right / for they were soden∣ly taken / ther was moch people slayne: and sir Charles of Bloyes / and all the lordes of Bre∣tayne and Normādy that were there with hym were taken prisoners. Thus the siege of Roch∣daren was reysed / and the lorde Charles was brought to Hanyboute ▪ but suche fortresses as were of his partie helde styll / for his wyfe who called her selfe duchesse of Bretaygne / toke the warre in hande.
