Siege of the Casle of Cardona and Pratz de Rey retreats
The report describes a failed siege at Cardona after six weeks on trenches. Vendome’s forces could not capture Pratz del Rey and abandoned Gervera, with 1200 enemy troops in the field. Recruits are rising and a general muster is planned for March 19 as taxes and campaign costs are debated.
