XVI. King William the Second called Rufus, being reconciled to his Brother Robert, he assisted him to re∣cover the Fort of Mount St. Michael, which their Bro∣ther Henry did forcibly hold in Normandy; during which Siege, stragling one time alone upon the shoar, he was set upon by three Horsemen, who assaulted him so fiercely, that they drove him from his Saddle, and his Saddle from his Horse, but he catching up his Saddle, and with∣al drawing out his Sword, defended himself till rescue came, and being afterward blamed for being so obsti∣nate to defend his Saddle, It would have angred me, said he, to the very heart, that the Knaves should have bragged they had won the Saddle from me.
