Two of his knights fastened his horse to their own, and, dashing forward, enabled him to gratify his last wish. Their bodies lay close together, and by them stood the three horses, still tied together, but unharmed. When the young Prince of Wales saw the dead king's banner lying near him, he picked it up, and said he would adopt as his own crest the emblem of the three feathers it bore. He also appro- priated the King of Bohemia's motto, " Ich dien " (I serve) ; and ever since then this motto a...nd crest have be- longed to the Prince of Wales. 156 LII. THE SIEGE OF CALAIS. HAVING cut the French army to pieces at Crecy, Ed- ward, who was anxious to secure a good seaport in France, set out to besiege Calais (cah-la'), a strongly for- tified city within sight of the Dover cliffs. The town was bravely defended by a gallant Frenchman named Jean de Vienne, and in spite of the English ships blocking the port, and the English army surrounding it on all sides, the French held out stanchly. As no provisions were allowed to enter, the governor soon saw that the peo- ple would suffer from famine, so he sent out all the old men, women, and children.
