The barons had gonfanons, and the knights pennons. They occupied the advanced ground, next
to where the archers had fixed themselves. The carpenters, who came after, had great axes in their
hands, and planes and adzes hung at their sides. When they had reached the spot where the archers
stood, and the knights were assembled, they consulted together, and sought for a good spot to place
a strong fort upon. Then they cast out of the ships the materials, and drew them to land, all shaped
framed and pierced to receive the pins which they had brought, cut and ready in large barrels ; so that
before evening had well set in, they had finished a fort. Then you might see them make their kitchens,
light their fires, and cook their meat. The duke sat down to eat, and the barons and knights had
food in plenty; for he had brought ample store. All ate and drank enough, and were right glad that they
were ashore.
