"Well, Sir Knights, you have all merited my thanks, for the manner in which you have discharged your duties, during my absence. "Of course, you were perfectly right, Wyncliffe, in remaining here; until, at any rate, the knights brought in their following from the country round.
Four hundred footmen were to follow, at once. Sir John Wyncliffe at first thought of taking the command himself, but it was pointed out to him that his presence would be required, in Ludlow, to marshal the forces that would speedily arrive from all the country round.
His knights met him in the courtyard. "Well, my friends, I hear you have sent the Welsh back again, as fast as they came." "We cannot say that, Sir Edmund," Sir John Wyncliffe replied.
The horn was at once sounded, and Sir John Wyncliffe and the other knights hastily assembled in the courtyard. Here, after a short consultation, it was determined that a mounted party should be, at once, despatched to endeavour to harass the advance of the Welsh; the troop consisting of Alwyn's men-at-arms, twenty men of the garrison, and fifty mounted men who formed part of the new levy.
There was a murmur of satisfaction among the men and, after recommending them to the care of the captain of the garrison, and bidding Alwyn speak in the name of his men, fearlessly, for anything that should be lacking, Sir Edmund left the courtyard. The seneschal of the castle, Sir John Wyncliffe, requested Oswald to follow him.
