I was not with the party that defeated them, having been left at Knighton to aid in the defence there, should the Welsh attack the town; but Sir John Burgon, who commanded, said that, in the village, they fought as if they cared not for their lives; though they made scarce any defence, when he fell upon them as they retired, in disorder.

The success he gained he attributes, in no small degree, to Percy's little troop; led by their captain, a stout soldier who commands the garrison of Alnwick, and by a young squire of Sir Henry Percy, who, though but a lad, fought with extreme bravery.
"He is with me now.

Sir Henry places great trust in him, and wrote most warmly, concerning him, to Sir Edmund Mortimer." "We are just going to supper, sir," the earl said.

"I hope that you will join us.

And I pray you, tell me where this young squire is lodging, that I may send for him, at once; as I would fain learn, from his lips, some closer account of the fighting, which may be of utility to us, in our adventure." Oswald arrived just as supper was brought in, and was introduced to the earl, and Lord Grey, by Sir William Bastow.
"Sit down with us, young sir," the earl said, kindly.
