On the 6th of August, 1428, the clergy of the city went to the church wherein was the reliquary of Saint Euverte and bore it round the walls, that they might be strengthened.

And the holy reliquary made the round of the whole city, followed by all the people.

On the 8th of September a _tortis_ weighing one hundred and ten livres[502] was offered to Saint-Aignan.

In time of need the favour of the saints was solicited by all kinds of gifts, garments, jewels, coins, houses, lands, woods, ponds; but natural wax was thought to be especially grateful to them.
A _tortis_ was a wheel of wax on which candles were placed and two escutcheons bearing the arms of the city.[503] [Footnote 501: _Trial_, vol.iii, p.32._Journal du siege_, p.
