themselues within a litle trench or counterscarpe made for the purpose and out of the same be readie with their harquebusses to shoot at the Englishmen so soone as anie of them should once shew his head out of the trenches to the great danger of them that warded in the same The lord Mountioie perceiuing this deuised with himselfe how to rouse the enimies out of that lurking place and withall came to the duke of Norfolke and desired licence to put the deuise which he had alreadie forecast in his mind in practise But the duke being not willing that he should put himselfe in such danger was loth to grant thereto but rather persuaded with him not to attempt it for said he my lord yée may doo the king better seruice than so to hazard your life and cast your selfe awaie as it is verie like you should in aduenturing vpon such a desperat peece of seruice and therfore I would not wish you to meddle therewith for we shall otherwise prouide for the matter well inough But the lord Mountioie still persisted in his sute verie earnestlie declaring that he doubted not by Gods helpe but to atchiue his purpose to his good contentation without anie great danger if that were executed which he tooke to be necessarie for the accomplishment of his deuise and that was to haue certeine line 10 peeces of the great ordinance shot off that waie forth at what time the wind stood méet to carrie the smoke full vpon the place where the Frenchmen laie At length vpon his earnest sute the duke gaue him licence to trie what he could doo commanding the great ordinance to be laid and charged readie to shoot off as he should appoint it Herewith the lord Mountioie taking with him fouretéene of his owne soldiors of the which number one of them forsooke to go through with him when it came to the line 20 point immediatlie vpon the shooting off of the artillerie that all the ground about was couered ouer with smoke he came to the place where those Frenchmen laie vnder couert of their trench and so displaced them that they had no liking eftsoones to lodge so neere vnto such vnfriendlie neighbors Manie other valiant and politike feats no doubt were atchiued during this siege happilie as worthie the rehearsall as this But sith it was the inuention of so noble a yoong gentleman I haue estéemed line 30 it not impertinent to speake thereof and withall to lament the losse of the inuentor who being taken awaie shortlie after in his returne homewards by vntimelie death was like if he had liued to greater yéers of experience to haue prooued comparable in valor to anie of his noble progenitors But now to speake of other incidents that chanced whilest this siege remained before Muttrell you must vnderstand that the most part of the vittels that was spent in the campe was brought to them either from the kings campe at Bullogne or else from S. Omers line 40 to conueie the same so far off it was néedfull to haue the carriage garded with good troops and bands both of horssemen and footmen for the French fortresses were stronglie furnished with great numbers of men of war which vpon occasions were readie to take aduantages offered And as it fortuned at one time among other there was a conuoie of certeine wagons loden with vitels appointed to come from saint Omers the same being line 50 garded with diuerse bands of Englishmen and Burgonions sent thither for that purpose the which marching forward from saint Omers kept not so good order as had béene requisit whereof certeine companies of French horssemen that were abroad being aware set vpon the Burgonions that were attendant vpon the foremost carriages and finding them in some disorder easilie discomfited them followed and slue them in the chase till they came to the hindermost carriages where six hundred English men that attended on the same impaled themselues line 60 with their wagons so as the Frenchmen could take no aduantage but with shot of the English archers were so curried and galled that they were driuen to retire and that in such hast as they left diuerse of their companie captiues in the Englishmens hands beside those that were faire laid to take their last sléepe there on the ground Neuerthelesse of the Burgonions there were slaine foure hundred and much good vittels lost the bottoms of the hogsheads and other vessels being beaten out and manie a good Flemish mare killed or taken For the Frenchmen found small resistance as before ye haue heard till they approched to the Englishmen by whose accustomed manhood some part of the vittels of that conuoie was saued to the releefe of the campe which notwithstanding by losse of the residue suffered great want for the time Moreouer somewhat towards the latter end of this siege the earle of Surreie son vnto the duke of Norffolke and marshall of his field accompanied with the lord warden of the cinque ports and diuerse other valiant capteins English Burgonions marched forth into the countrie towards Abuile where they tooke and burnt a proper towne called saint Requiers and after comming to another towne called Rieu they found no bodie at home but women and children for the men were departed out of it before their comming thither When they had taken their pleasure in sacking all such goods as they found there fit to be carried awaie they spared the towne from fire and so departed And thus after they had béene two daies and two nights abroad in the countrie they returned home to the campe with a great bootie of beasts sheepe and other things which they had got in that voiage But now to conclude with this siege of Muttrell after the king had woone Bullongne and vnderstood how the emperor had agréed with his aduersarie the French king he resolued to haue his armie to raise that siege which thus had lien before Muttrell and with all cōuenient spéed to draw toward Calis And because it was signified that the Dolphin of France Henrie was comming forward with a great power which had béene raised by his father the French king to resist the emperor and now was sent vnder the conduct of the said Dolphin to the succours of them that were besieged in Muttrell the king sent the earle of Arundell sir Iohn Gage sir George Carew sir Iohn Reinsford and others with a chosen number of lustie soldiors vnto Muttrell to reinforce his armie there that in leuieng the campe and withdrawing backe they might be the better able to withstand anie attempt which the enimies might put in execution to their annoiance And verelie this was doone with good aduise and necessarie consideration for the Englishmen that had lien so long time at the siege before Muttrell wanting such behoouefull refreshment as those were stored with that laie before Bullongne hauing the seas open and all things at pleasure brought vnto them forth of England were

corselets and pikes about fiftie horssemen were come foorth of Leith vnder the conduction of monsieur Doisell and the counte Martigues coronell of the French footmen My lord Greie vnderstanding thereof came vp to the hill appointed an officer at armes called Rouge Crosse to go vnto them with commandement from him that they should retire their forces forth of the field into the towne of Leith for if it were not for line 30 the promise which he had made to the quéene Dowager he would cause them to depart not much to their ease The herald dooing his message receiued answer that they were

earnestlie mainteined on both parts that the like had not lightlie beene séene manie a day before Yet at length the Englishmen droue the French footmen ouer the hill wan the crag from line 50 them and put them from a chappell where they had stood a great while vsing it for a couert and safegard for them against the Englishmens shot Then the enimies that were in Leith shot off diuerse péeces of their great artillerie out of the towne against the Englishmen who on the other part brought foorth two field péeces and couered them with a troope of horssemen and hauing planted them to some aduantage discharged the same among the enimies who perceiuing that gaue place suddenlie line 60 the English demilances gaue a charge brake in amongst them and slue diuerse To conclude they were put

had béene lightlie séene manie a daie before capteine Horseie shewed woorthie proofe of his most valiant line 10 courage winning to himselfe such commemdation as the same will not be forgotten whilest

the end the enimies were forced to giue place with the losse of fiue hundred of their men Almans Frenchmen Gascoignes and Spaniards The Englishmen verelie in this seruice shewed that they were nothing degenerat from the ancient race of their noble progenitors Besides those that were slaine on the French part amongst whom was one of their capteins of good account amongst them they tooke also Bassompeere an Almane coronell line 40 ouer ten ensignes of footmen The presence of the lord lieutenant was not wanting that daie both to incourage his worthie souldiers and also to sée them applied

capteine Tremaine capteine Cornewall capteine Carew Edward Randoll also landed there the same daie appointed to be knight marshall For ye must vnderstand that sir Adrian Poinings being knight marshall

three helhounds Discord Uiolence and Tyrannie who féeling Apollos beames and hearing the sweetnesse and harmonie of the voices and instruments shroonke awaie and hid themselues in the déepest of the

ceassed His highnesse passed on and with verie much adoo came to the great market place by reason of the infinit multitude of people which could not be put asunder without great paine As soone as he was alighted from his horsse he went vp a scaffold which had béene set vp for the same purpose in the middest of the market place hard by the towne house before whome went the magistrate of the citie and a great number of princes lords and gentlemen This scaffold being great and large of the heigth of fortie foot was hanged with scarlet Upon it was a cloth of estate the backe whereof was cloth of

with pillers On the right side betwéene the pillers was a lion holding a naked sword to betoken the authoritie of the magistrate Aboue the lion was an egle féeding hir yoong and turning hir selfe towards the shining of the sunne as taking hir force of the prince On the left side was an ox with a yoke on his necke and aboue him a hen brooding hir chickens and by hir a cocke The ox with his yoke signified obedience and the cocke and the hen betokened the watchfulnesse care and defense of the superior The said scaffold was garnished with banners of azure beaten with the armes of Aniou and with banners of gewles beaten with the armes of Antwerpe and with cressets and torches And aboue among the armes were writte● these verses in verie faire legible letters At length thou art come and ioifull

When he with gratious looke beholds a people they inioy A goodlie ruler vnder whom no troubles them annoy But if misliking make him frowne then makes he them a preie To tyrants vnder whom they tast of sorrow euerie daie From this scaffold he might behold before him an infinit number of people readie to be sworne vnto him and also thrée companies of banished and condemned men in fetters and
