In particular, on the 2nd of May, one See also:assault was defeated without the loss of a single See also:man of Arnaud's small band

But another attack (May 14) was not so successful, so that Arnaud with-See also:drew his force, under See also:cover of a thick mist, and led them over the hills to the valley of Angrogna, above La Tour
.
A See also:month later the Vaudois were received into favour by the duke of Savoy, who had then abandoned his See also:alliance' with France for one with See also:Great See also:Britain and Holland
