¶ Howe sir Eustace Danbretycour•• was delyuerd out of prison by great raunsome. Cap. CC .ii. (Book 202)

THus after the wynnin¦ge of the castell of Roucy / sir Peter Awdeley dyed in his bedde within y^• castell of Be¦auforde: wherof suche com∣panyons as wer vnder him were right sorowfull. Than the englysshmen and almaygnes there / thought they coude do no better syth they made warr for the kyng of Englande / as to make to their capi¦tayne sir Eustace Dambreticourt / who was as than̄e hole of his hurtes: but styll as prisonere. Than they sende Faucon the haraulde to therle of Uandumant / and to sir Henry ••ue••ellart / for to putte to raunsome the lorde sir Eustace / so than he was put to his fynanse to pay .xxii. thou¦sande frankes of France. And the companyons of the englysshe garysons in Champaigne pay¦ed the sayd raunsome: and so he was delyuered and had agayne his courser and his hackeney / that he lost at the batayle of Nogent / the which horses the lady Isabell of Jullyers countesse of Kent in Englande had sende hym. Whan these cōpanyons had the lorde Eustace among them / they made hym their souerayne / and euery man drewe to him. And than they entred into the coū¦tie of Rethell where they had neuer been before / and there by stelth they wanne the good towne of Athyen on the ryuer of Esue: and there they founde mo than a hundred peces of wyne. Ther they made their soueraygne garyson / and ouer ranne all the countrey about Reynes / and spoy¦led Espernoy / Damp••ary / Trayone / and the good towne of Uertus: wher the englysshmen had great profette. And ther they made another garyson / the which ouer ranne all the countrey about the ryuer of Marne to the Fertyll Myl∣lon. And they of Athyen ranne dayly to Mese∣rees on the ryuer of Meuse / to Douchery / and to Chenpoulux.
