therefore with all diligence fortified the saide suburbe but especially the milles which stoode must open to the enemy Which being done his said Maiesty woulde once againe as neere as he could with smal company mark and sée how the enemy was lodged and perceiuing through the occasion of some one that they were to forwarde commaunded fiue or sixe of his company to geue them a charge which was done to the losse of seauen of the enemy vppon that place his Maiesty retourning at night lay in his quarter of Arques doing nothing al that night But many before day marched out of the subburbs of Diepe to the field who made against the enemy moste hot skirmiges where mounsier de Chastilion commanded ouer the footemen who shewed himselfe more and more a most skilfull and valiant leader in so much that our Arquebuzers neuer discharged bullet in vaine The horsemen also were so sette and placed by the king who behaued themselues so well that no person could passe to the enemy without his expresse commandement otherwise there had béene greate disorder among vs so earnest were our souldiers to the fight Among other his Maiesty permitted certaine Englishe Lords well mounted and armed and most sumptuously attired I knew among the rest the noble gentleman maister d'Euerax brother to the right honorable Earle of Essex who was one of the formost and forwardest in the fight Who imployed themselues so valiauntly and with suche hardy courage that they fiue many of the enemies and in lesse then the turning of an hand threw them to the ground and tooke prisoners all that incountred them About ten of the clocke this forenoone we saw aboue the milles how the enemy in great troupes came downe the hill to continue their passage after some of their company which had already passed the brooke which seperated their armye and ours and being entred in the medowe they purposed to assault a village called Boutielle where the kinges white cornet was At what time wee sawe comming againste them the very same instant sixe gentlemen well armed whom we knew not but the King was since certifyed two of them wer the Lords of Saint Marke and Sturbe which tooke their swordes in hand to such purpose with two Arquebuzeirs on foot that the enemies being in number thirty or thirty fiue which before had passed the brooke were constrained to turne their backs and wade againe through the same brooke to escape their hard pursute flyinge with great feare and sorrowfull countenance Vppon this accident it is greatly to be considered that if the enemy might haue had their wiles without expulse and that their whole Army might haue got ouer the water as those few did our litle hoast had béene soone seperated in the halfe by theire mighty and huge Armye which woulde haue béene verye hardly ioyned together againe His Maiesty had sent the two companies of light horsemen of Mounsier de Lorges and Harambres to the medowe Notwithstanding they had by and by a contrarye commandement to goe to Arques to méete Mounsieur de Birron but all the while there continued this day greate skirmiges at the milles of Paullet And his Maiesty aduainicing himselfe alwayes to sée theyr doinges a Harquebuze shot came and strooke in the thigh of his horse but many more bullets passed on the contrary side of Arques Now those two companies of light horsmen of which one part belonged to my Lord the Prince of Countie conducted by Mounsieur d'Armillie his lieftenant whom the king had before sent to Monsieur de Birron had commandement of the said Monsieur to go and spie out the lodging of the enemy who lay in a village called Martinglize beyond the riuer where also was the Duke and Cheualliers d'Amall of Nemoures and Sagonne but our men being come to the place ran vpon the enemy so fiercely that they had no leisure to cary word to Monsieur de Birron of that they had sene and with so great fury they did it being eager in fight that they broke downe on horsebacke all theire rampiers or barrycades and slue of the enemy more then an hundreth and fifty some helde the Marques De menelaye to be in the number besides diuers Captains and many good prisoners which they tooke The Cheualliers d'Aumall and Sagonne were the first that fled with four regimens of footemen who found more safety in their féete then in their swords His maiestye which was on the side of Diepe perceiuing by the enemies doings that they determined some secrete mischiefe came into his quartor where he found how those of his side had most faithfully serued in that incounter latelye made which was done so manfully that if he had had those three hādred horses redy which afterward came we had brought away their chiefest forces Notwithstanding we were very sorowfull for mounsieur d'Armille who had receiued a dangerous wound through the body by a sworde but wee haue good hope of his recouery On Sunday the seuenteeth of that moneth his Maiesty caused a Cannon to bee discharged against the enemy on the side of Arques while mounsieur de Chatellon made a moste valiaunt skirmige winning many prisoners that day from the enemy without the losse of any one man and but fewe of his soldiours wounded Which was done while those of our side recouered a village where they flew thirtie men at the least Euery day of that wéeke they spent in the like skirmishes by the meanes wherof an infinite number of gentle men and souldiours came of their voluntarie goodwil and yéelded themselues and seruice to the King parte whereof were the troupes regiment of Mounsier de Rubempree which before was taken of the enimie at Gornay who followed the enimies armie for the safegard of their armes On Tewesday the one twentieth by breake of day about fiue of the clocke in the morning the enimie marched out from the saide Martinglize in battel ray so wel ordered as might be their faces set against Arques and against the side of our Swizers the most part of their horsemen in sundrie troupes wonderfull strong and thicke their footemen in their winges excellently well placed Then the Lord de Billin with two thousand shot was chosen to giue the onset vpon vs. But his maiestie who was a horsebacke vntill midnight perceiuing that the einimies intent was to winne the riuer and to passe the same for which purpose they had made certaine bridges of wood to be cast ouer he presently set such order in euery place that they coulde doe him no hurt without great losse to themselues And now hauing séene the order of their battell incontinent hee sent forth his light horsemen And the company belonging to my Lord the Prince gouerned by Mounsieur de Montater and his maiesties owne Cornet wherein were my Lords le graund prior le graunde Esquier le count Rochfoucaue le count de Rousye le count de Rochford with diuers other gentlemen which were nearest to
