Reading edition
2346. Fuenterrabía: the siege by the French began in July, 1638. The town was supplied with provisions by sea from San Sebastian until a fleet commanded by the archbishop of Bordeaux put an end to this source of supplies with heavy loss to the Spaniards. Meanwhile a force was being prepared to attack the French in their camp. The attack was successful and the rout of the French was complete.
