Description (What the record is about)
-
Folios 127-128. A letter from the Marquis of Gastanaga to the Prince of Waldeck, dated at Brussels. The various reports he has received that day all confirm the march of the Duke of Luxembourg's army the next day. He has built several bridges on l'Escault [the Scheldt] around [Hautrine?] and yesterday sent to Tournai all the waggons and carts to fetch supplies and return this day to the army so they can march tomorrow. He hears from all quarters that the enemy's plan is to post itself at Halle with their army. He tells Waldeck it is for him to judge if it is the time to undertake the planned march and asks him to keep the English King updated.
