The two kings alfo were to fend four or five noble perfonages to Arras, where the pope was to fend as many legates ; and to whatever thefe perfons ihould determine upon they promifed moifc faithfully to accede. One of the conditions of this truce was, that each perfon ihould rétain whatever he had got in his poiTeflion. * . , The truce was immediately proclaimed in each army, to the great joy of the Brabanters, who were heartily tired of the fiege.

Thus the good city of Tournay remained unhurt, but it had a narrow* efcape ; for there were at that time no more provifions in it than would have been fufficient for three or four days. , The Brabanters began their march immediately, for they were very impatient to return.
