* Pronounced waz-moh'.
THE WAR IN NORMANDY 125 The king right courteously demanded of them if there were any among them that knew any passage, where he and his host might pass over the river of Somme ; if he would show him thereof, he should be quit of his ransom.
There was a varlet (servant) called Gobin Agace who stepped forth and said to the king : " Sir, I promise you, on the jeopardy of my head, that I will bring you to such a place, where ye and all your host shall pass the river of Somme
... without peril. There be certain places in the passage {ford) that ye shall pass twelve men abreast two times between day and night ; ye shall not go in the water to the knees. But when the flood tide cometh the river then waxeth so great that no man can pass ; but when the flood is gone, which is two times between day and night, then the river is so low that it may be passed without danger both ahorseback and afoot.
" The passage is hard in the bottom with white stones, so that all your carriages {carts) may go safely." The king said : " If this be true that ye say, I acquit thee of thy ransom, thee and all thy company, and, moreover, shall give thee a hundred nobles."* Then the king commanded every man to be ready to depart at the sound of the trumpet.
