This year rode the army, after Easter, out of Northampton and Leicester; and having broken the truce they slew many men at Hockerton and thereabout. Then, very soon after this, as the others came home, they found other troops that were riding out against Leighton. But the inhabitants were aware of it; and having fought with them they put them into full flight; and arrested all that they had taken, and also of their horses and of their weapons a good deal.
