75 Roberto Acciajuoli to Florence. I have already said in my other letter how the English fleet was in Brittany and how it encountered Pregianni, who with the help of land had retreated safely. Then the said fleet positioned itself between the French fleet that is in Brest and Pregianni, to prevent Pregianni from joining with the other French, and it held him besieged for several days, and finally with the large ships they had positioned themselves in front of the French ships, and with the small ones they had gone to find Pregianni's thin galleys, and observing the ebb and flow they had closed in on him in such a way that he was in great danger. Finally, having placed certain cannons on land and having behaved virtuously, he defended himself until now. And finally, wanting to tighten the noose, one of the English ships approached so boldly to enter between him and the land that it put him in great danger, and it took just one shot to perhaps 50 men, who were there, to come to blows with him: and in the end they were all dead, and in such a number, according to many reports, there was the admiral of the said fleet [Edward Howard], a man of great condition, because they say the enemies had instantly demanded if they had among the prisoners such a one, dressed in such clothes, which showed he was a man they greatly valued. And for this reason, having Pregianni retrieve the dead, they found one dressed in that form with a gold whistle around his neck, half a palm long, and by this coincidence they judge him to be the admiral or a fortunate man.
Dixi per l' altra mia come l' armata Inghilese era in Brettagna et come si era ricontra in Pregianni, el quale con l' ajuto di terra si era ritracto salvo. Dipoi decta armata si è messa intra l' armata Franzese che si truova a Brest et Pregianni, per impedire che Pregianni non si unisca con l' altra Franzese, et l' ha tenuto più giorni come obsediato, et ultimamente con le nave grosse si eron parati avanti alle nave Franzese, et con le piccole erono andati a trovare le galee sottili di Pregianni, et observando il fluxo et refluxo lo haveron serrato in modo che è suto a gran pericolo. Tandem, con lo havere messi cierti cannoni in terra et con lo essersi portato virtuosamente si è insino a hora difeso. Et ultimamente volendolo strignere, una delle nave Ingnilesi si accostò tanto animosamente per intrare tra lui et la terra che lo mise in gran pericolo, et bastò l' ammo a forse 50 homini, che vi erono su venire alle mane con lui: e’ quali alia fine furon tutti morti, et in tale numero per molti riscontri che vi sono essere suto lo Amiraglio di decta armata huomo di gran conditione, perche dicono li nimici havere facto demandare instantamente se havessino tra prigioni un tale, vestito con tale habiti, el che monstrava essere huomo di che tenessino gran conto. Et per tale cagione havendo Pregianni facto ripescare e' morti, ne hanno trovato uno vestito in quella forma con uno fischio d’ oro a collo, lungo un mezo palmo, et per tale riscontro giudicono che sia l' Amiraglio o homo di buona sorte.1
