Note 7 — THE VISION OF HUNGUS.

Reading edition

At the siege of Bayonne, by the Counts de Foix and de Dunois, in 1450, there was a similar vision seen, or imagined to have been seen, to serve a similar purpose. “On Friday, the 20th August, a little before sunrise, the sky, bright and clear, a white cross was seen in the heavens by the king’s army, and even by the English in Bayonne, for half an hour. Those in the town, who were desirous of returning to the French, took the red crosses from their banners and pennons, saying, that since it pleased God they should become Frenchmen, they would all wear white crosses!”—Montstrelet’s French Chron. by Johnes, vol. ix. p. 188.
