This day did Sir H. U. hold a great feast at the King his quarter for the Allmaine general Prince Christian who speaketh perfect French and passing good English and who seemeth a most learned gentleman and Sir R. W. attendeth and I did wait upon him; I did meet du Lac about the King his quarters and he doth say that the Gascons are angry for want of pay; some small skirmishing about St. Katherines; after supper returned to the camp and so to St. John his quarters to eat and he tells me of the loss this day of my Lord his coach through the foolish willful actions of the coachmen who were bidden to wait for his troop to convey them but rather set off alone and were overtaken by enemy horse.
A busy day here for Luke. Sir H. U. is Sir Henry Unton the English ambassador to France and he has laid on a feast for the newly arrived Prince Christian of Anhalt-Bernburg. This news and the anecdotes about the cranky Gascons and the loss of Essex’s coach are drawn from Coningsby
