WHILST thefe preparations were going for-ward, and during the refidence of the king of France at Arras, great bodies of men at arms were aifembling in the Tournefis, Artois, and caftlewick of Iille and its neighbourhood. Some knights and fquires, who refided at Lille and thereabout, refolved to perform feats of arms that fliould gain them renown, chiefly-through the exhortations of the Hafe de Flan-dres. They collected about fix fcore knights and fquires, and crofled the river Lis at Pont-Ame-nin, which was not then broken down, two leagues from Iille. They rode for the town • of Harle, which they furprifed; and, after flaying many in the town and environs, they drove the remainder out of the town. Their cries were heard in the neighbouring villages ; the inhabi-tants of which founded their alarm bells, and marched towards Harle and Pont-Amenin, whence the cries feemed to come. VOL.
