- the death of the lord of Lagurant, a Gascon of French sympathies, slain by Bernard Conrat, captain of Cavaillac for the king of England (1379): the lord of Lagurant having refused to surrender, Conrat ‘was inflamed with anger, and feared lest he might lose the greater for the lesser prize; so he brought the dagger he was holding down onto his adversary’s head, which was completely uncovered, and embedded it in his skull’ (Book II, ed. Diller-Ainsworth, p. 716, tr. PFA);
- an armed encounter between French and English troops;
- the duke of Brittany and the count of Flanders rebuking Pierre de Bournesel from a raised tribune;
- Raymond de Montaut, lord of Mussidan, swearing fidelity to the king of France upon abandoning the Anglo-Gascon cause (1377).
