rdered by the count of Montefeltro, the citizens had taken off the
bridles and saddles from the most of their horses; and suddenly the
said count, with part of his followers, entered again into Forli by
one of the gates, and overran the city; and part of his horse and foot
he left in troops drawn up under the oak, as the French had been. M.
Jean d'Appia and his men, seeing themselves thus handled, when they
thought they had conquered the city, held themselves for dead and
betrayed, and whosoever could recover his horse fled from the city,
and came to the tree without, thinking to find friends there; and when
they came thither they were taken or slain by their enemies, and
likewise they which had remained within the city; wherefore the French
and the followers of the Church suffered great discomfiture and loss,
and there died there many good French knights, and of the Latin
leaders, among others, Count Taddeo da Montefeltro, cousin to Count
Guido, which by reason of disputes concerning his inheritance held
with the Church against the said Count Guido; and there died there
Tribaldello de' Manfredi, which had betrayed Faenza, and many others;
albeit the count of Romagna, M. Jean d'Appia, escaped with certain
others from the said discomfiture, and returned to Faenza.
