| Ballad Title | The Haughty Frenchmens Pride Abased. / OR, / A true Relation of a bloody Skirmish which lately happened / betwixt a company of Spaniards, and a company of Frenchmen; the one Party be- / longing to the Spanish Ambassadour, the other to the French Ambassadour, / both now resident in London: The ground of this Quarrel was their striving for / Superiority who should follow next after our Kings Coach; the Frenchmen would / have had the Vpper-hand, but the Spaniard would not permitt them, and / hereupon the contention grew so strong that they fell to fighting with their naked / Swords in good earnest; and in this bloody Skirmish some of the Frenchmen and / Horses were kil'd, several others wounded, and they in the end were forced to re- / treat, and yield the Victory to the Spaniards. This was done on Tower-Hill the / 30th. of September. 1661. |
