. . When the countess and her company understood that the Frenchmen were coming to lay siege to the town of Hennebon, then it was commanded to sound the watch-bell alarm, and every man to be armed and draw to their defence. . . . The countess herself wore harness on her body, and rode on a good courser from street to street, desiring her people to make good de- fence ; and she caused damosels and other women to cut short their kyrtels, and to carry stones and pots full of chalk to the walls to ...be cast down to their enemies. " This lady did then a hardy enterprise ; she mounted up to the height of a tower, to see how the Frenchmen were ordered without ; she saw that all the lords, and all other people of the host, were all gone out of their field to the assault ; then she took again her courser, armed as she was, and caused 300 men on horseback to be ready, and she went with them to another gate where there was no assault ; she issued out and her company, and dashed into the French lodgings, and cut down tents, and set fire to their lodgings ; she found no defence there, but a certain of varlets and boys, who ran away.
