Rohan, pushed constant forays and excursions
against Ploermel so that town and castle were
both in daily dread of being surrounded and be-
seged. Several small parties of the English fac
ton had been cut off and slain to a man. and SO
straitened the others that it difficult for
them to gather provisions from the country round
Such the state of Bambros garrison when
on that March evening Knolles and his men streaned
into the bailey yard of his castle.
In the glare of the torches at the inner gate
Bambro' was waiting to receive them, a dry, hard,
wZened man, small and fierce, with beady black
eyes and quick furtive ways. Beside him, strange
contrast, stood his Squire Croquart, a German,
whose name and fame a nan-at arms were wide
spread, though like Robert Knoles himself he had
begun a humble page. He was a very tall
man. with enormous spread of shoulders, and a
pair of huge hands with which he could crack a
horseshoe. He slow and ethargic save in
moments of excitement, and his calm blond face,
his dreamy blue eyes and his long white hair gave
him so gentle an appearance that none save those
who had seen him in his berserker mood, raging an
iron giant in the forefront of the battle could ever
guess how terrible warrior he might be. Little
knight and huge squire stood together under the
arch of the donJon and gave welcome to the new
corners, whilst swarm of soldiers crowded round
to embrace their comrades and to lead them
off where they might feed and make merry
together
Supper had been set in the hall of Ploermel
wherein the Knights and squires assembled. Bam-
bro and Croquart were there with Sir Hugh Cal
verley, old friend of Knolles and fellowt
men, for both were men of Chester. Sir Hugh was
a midde-szed faXen man, with hard gray eyes
and fierce large-nosed face sliced across with the
of a sword-cut. There too were Godfrey
d Ardaine young Breton seigneur; Sir Thomas
Bedford, a burly thickset Midland English1nan;
Sir Thomas Walton, whose surcoat of scarlet mart
lets showed that he of the Surrey Watons:
James Marshall and John Russell, young English
and the two brothers Richard nd Huoll
LIE Galliard, who were of Gascon blood Besides
these were several squires, unknown to fame, and
of the newcomers, Sir Robert Knoles, Sir Thomas
Percy, Nigel Loring and two other squires, Alling
ton and Parsons. These were the company who
gathered in the torchlight round the table of the
seneschal of -Ploermel, and kept high revel with
joyous hearts because they thought that much
honor and noble deeds lay before them.
But one sad face there at the board and

from the company. Say no more fair sirs he cried
for indeed your words are like so many stabs III
my heartl All this and might indeed have
DONE but of truth you are too late
Too late?" cried Knoles. What mean your"
Alas! that l should have to say it! but you and
all these fair soldiers might be back in England once
more for all the profit that like to have from
your coming. Saw you rider white horse ere
you reached the caste?'
Nay, l him not
He came by the western road from Hennebont
Would that he had broken his neck ere he came
here! Not hour ago he left his message and now
hath ridden to the garrison of Malestrot.
A truce has been proclaimed for year betwxt
the French King and the English, and he who
breaks it forfeits life and estate"
A trucel" Here end to all their fine
dreams They looked blankly at each other all
round the table whilst Croquart brought his great
fist down upon the board until the glasses ratified
again. Knolles sat with clenched hands as
cold and heavy within him. A truce Where then
was his third deed, and how might he return with
out it?
Even they sat in moody silence there was the
call of bugle from somewhere out in the darkness
Sir Richard looked up with surprise. We are
not wont to be summoned after once the portcullis
is up, said he. Truce truce, we must let no
man within walls until we have proved him.
Croquart, to it"
The huge German left the room. The company
were SUN seated IN respondent silence When he
returned Sir Richard " said he, g the brave knight
Robert of Beaumanoir and his Squire William de
Montaubon without the gate and would fan
have speech with you.
Bambro' started in his chair. What could the
fierce leader of the Bretons, man who was red to
the elbow with English blood have to say to them?
On what errand had he left his castle of Josseln
to pay this visit to his deadly enemies? Are
they armed?" he asked.
They are unarned."
double the guards and take all precauton against
surprise.
Places were set at the farther end of the table
for these most unexpected guests. Presently the
door was swung open, and Croquart with all form
and courtesy announced the two Bretons, who
entered with the proud and lofty air of gallant
warriors and high-br gentlemen

FORE and he knew that it was as safe to tear half
gnawed bone from bear as their blood-won plumber
from such men as these In any it was but two
days march to Ploerne1 where he hoped to bring
his journey to end.
That night they camped at Mauron, where a
small English and Breton garrison held the castle.
Right glad the bowmen to see some of their
own COuntrymen once more, and they spent the
night over wine and dice, crowd of Breton girls
assisting, so that next morning their bundles
much lighter and much of the plumber of La Bro
hiniGre was left with the men and women of Mauron
Next day their march lay with fair sluggish river
upon their right and great rolling forest upon
their left which covered the whole country At
last toward evening the towers of Ploerrnel rose
before them and they against darlening sky
the Red Cross of England waving in the wind.
So blue the river Due which sllirted the road,
and green its banks, that they might indeed have
been back beside their homely streams, the
Oxford Thames the Midland Trent but ever as the
darkness deepened there came in wild gusts the howl
ing of wolves from the forest to remind them that
they were in a land of war. So busy had men been
for many years in hunting one another that the
beasts of the chase had grown to monstrous de-
gree until the streets of the towns were no longer
safe from the wild inroads of the fierce creatures the
wolves and the bears, which swarmed around them.
1t nghtfall when the little army entered the
outer gate of the Castle of Ploernel and encamped
in the broad bailey yard. Ploermel was at that
time the center of British power in Mid Brittany
as Hennebont in the West and it was held by
a garrison of five hundred men under old soldier,
Richard of Bambro', a rugged Northumbrian,
trained in that great school of warriors the border
wars. He who had ridden the marches of the most
troubled frontier in Europe and served his time
against the Liddlesdae and Nthsdae raiders
hardened for a life in the field.
Of late, however. Bambro had been unable to
undertake any enterprise, for his reinforcements
had failed him. and amid his following he had but
three English knights and seventy men. The rest
mixed of Bretons, Hainauters and
few German mercenary soldiers, brave indi-
vdually, those of that stock have ever BEEN but
lacking interest in the cause, and bound together
by no common tie of blood or tradition.
On the other hand the surrounding castles, and
especially that of Josselin, were held by strong
forces of enthusiastic BreCons infamed by
mon patriotism and full of warlike ardor John

that belonged to him
who sat at the head of
it. Sir Robert Bambro'
sat with his chin leaning
upon his hand and his
eyes downcast upon the
cloth, whilst all round
him rose the merry clat-
ter of voices, everyone
planning some fresh en-
terprise which might
now be attempted. Sir
Robert Knolles was for
an immediate advance
upon Josselin. Calver-
ley thought that a raid
might be made into the
south where the main
French power then lay.
Others spoke of an at
tack upon Vannes.
To all these eager opin-
ions Bambro' listened in
a moody silence, which
he broke at last by a
fierce execration which
drew a hushed attention

ward that day, looking
back many a time to see
the two dark columns
of smoke, one thicker
and one more slender,
which arose from the
castle and from the fort
of La Brohiniere. There
was not an archer nor a
man-at-arms who did
not bear a great bundle of
spoil upon his back, and
Knolles frowned darkly
as he looked upon them.
Gladly would he have
thrown it all down by
the roadside, but he had
tried such matters be-
