THus as ye haue harde these knyghtes were taken on bothe parties / there was no mo suche assautes after. Nowe let vs speke of ye king of Englande: who lay at se∣ge before Dynant / whan he had layne ther a four dayes: he gate a great nō¦bre of bottes and barges / and made his archers to entre into theym / and to rowe to the pales: wherewith the towne was closedde it had none
other walles. The archers shot so feersly yt non durst shewe at their defence / than was ther cer∣tayne other with ares so that whyle the archers dyd shote they hewed downe the pales: and so entred byforce. Thā they of the towne fledde to the market place but they kept but a small order for they that entred by the pales came to yt gate and dyd opyn it: than euery man entred and ye capitayne sir Pyers Portbeufe taken / and the towne ouer ron and robbed: thēglysshmen wan moche richesse in that towne / for it was a great towne of marchandyse. Whan the kyng had ta∣ken his pleasure ther / as long as it had pleased hym: he left the towne voyde and went to Uan∣nes and lodged there.
¶ Nowe let vs retourne to sir Loys of Spay∣ne / and to sir Charles Germaur and {ser} Othes Dornes / who was as than admyrall on the see: with .viii. galeys / xiii. barkes / and .xxx. other shyppes with genowayes & spanyardes. They kept the coost bytwene England and Bretayne and dyd moche damage to them that came to re¦fresshe the hoost before Uannes: and at a tyme they set on the kynge of Englandes nauy lyeng at Aucerre / in a lytell hauyn besyde Uannes: so that they slewe a great part of them that kepte the shyppes / and had done moch more damage yf thenglysshmen lyeng at the siege had nat ron thyder in all hast: and yet asmoche hast as they made / sir Loys of Spayne toke away iiii. ship¦pes laded with prouisyon / & drowned thre and all that was in them. Than the kyng was coun¦selled to drawe part of his nauy to Brest hauen and the other part to Hanybout the which was done / and styll endured the siege before Uan∣nes / and Renes.
