For the ship, -when not far from land, while in full sail, was driven upon the rocks which are called Chaterase, and being wrecked, the king's son, with all who were with him, perished on the sixth day before the calends of December, being the fifth day of the week, at nightfall, near Barbeflet.63 In the morning, the king's treasures which were on board the ship, were found on the sands, but none of the bodies of those lost.
