When the Hainault army had been in the coun-try about five weeks, and had deftroycd and burnt many towns and villages, of litde value indeed, the weather began to be very cold and to rain il-moft daily : there were alfo great tempefts at fea. Duke Albert and his fon, in confequencc, pro-pofed the return of the army to lower Friefland, whence they had come, and to march into HoU land, the more comfortably to pafs the winter, which had fet in very hard. This was done; and, on their arrival at Erçchuyfen,. the lords difmiffed their men, particularly the ftrangers, with whom they were well contented, and paid them their full pay, thanking them at the fame time for the fer-vices they had rendered. Thus was this great army difbanded, without having made any conquéft ; but, two years after, thefe noble princes, duke Albert and his fon count William, returned thither a fécond time, and made great conqucfls by .their excellent prowefs, which, if if pleafc God, fhall be fully recounted* But for the moment we will not fay more, and relate the magnificent marriage of the king of England witfy the princefs JfabçUa of France. #79 CHAP.
