So briskly did the Lord of Pevensey sweep the woods that Maytide, hunting his enemies with horn and hound, that he drove such mesne lords as had drawn1 the sword beyond his borders into other parts. The mere2 gentleman and the yeoman could make no fight of it as yet against a great lord who held the castles. The peasants were cowed by the lances of the troopers; a few still lurked3 in the deeps of the woods, chased hither and thither4 like wild things that fly from the cry of the hound. The finer and fiercer spirits fled with savage5 thoughts in their hearts, counting on the day when their chance should come again. Waleran de Monceaux took refuge in Winchelsea, and joined himself to the men of that town. Others galloped6 away to seek Earl Simon, and to ease their wrath7 under De Montfort’s banner. As for Grimbald the priest, he lay near to death, hidden near a swineherd’s hovel, stricken with the wounds that he had gotten him at Goldspur manor9.
When Waleran de Monceaux, that man of the fierce face and the bristling10 beard, fled to Winchelsea town, he rode by the Abbey of Battle as the dawn was breaking and halted there and called for food. He and his men had touched neither meat nor bread for a day and a night. Some were wounded, all of them ragged11, famished12, and caked with the mire
