with Peter d’Anchin (Peter's seizure of a castle belonging to the King of France.) “On our departure from Pamiers we crossed the mountain of Cesse, which is difficult of ascent, and passed near the town and castle of Ortingas, which belongs to the King of France, but did not enter it. We went to dine at a castle of the Count de Foix, half a league farther, called Carlat, seated on a high mountain. After dinner the knight said, ‘Let us ride gently: we have but two leagues of this country (which are equal to three of France) to our lodging.’--‘Willingly,’ answered I. ‘Now,’ said the knight, ‘we have this day passed the castle of Ortingas, the garrison of which did great mischief to all this part of the country. Peter d’Anchin had possession of it; he took it by surprise, and has gained sixty thousand francs from France.’”
