Summary

Description
English: (left) Front page of a book, “Le Memorable Siege d’Ostende”, by Christophle de Bonours, about the Siege of Ostend, published in Brussels in 1628. Jeroni Desclergue's (DC05) death at Ostend in 1604 is described in this book on page 585, as follows

(right) “Le Maistre de camp Antuñes s'étant fort avancé vers la neuve fortification des Assiégés, avoir fait caver une mine, à laquelle il donna ouverture par le feu, au commencement de Septembre. Elle joua si à propos, qu'un Lieutenant Anglais de l'ennemi nommé Benethon, un Sergent, et environ quarante Soldats, y demeureront suffoqués. L'ouverture vue, un Capitaine Espagnol, nommé Don Ieronimo de Cleriges s'avance promptement avec sa compagnie pour le fortifier sur la brèche, suivant l'ordre de Maistre de camp: Mais il n'y fut si tôt, que l'Assiégé, en faisant voler une autre, y ensevelit tous vifs, Capitaine, Enseigne, Sergent, et Soldats.”

English translation: "Camp master Antuñes having advanced far towards the new fortification of the Besieged, having dug a mine, which he opened by fire, at the beginning of September. It played so aptly that an English enemy Lieutenant named Benethon, a Sergeant, and about forty Soldiers will remain suffocated there. Having seen the opening, a Spaniard named Don Ieronimo de Cleriges advanced promptly with his company to fortify the breach, following the order of Maistre de camp. However, it was too early, so the Besieged, by a subsequent detonation, were buried alive there, Captain, Ensign, Sergeant, and Soldiers."
