De vastacione territorii castri Oukaym.
The Raid on Oukaym and Its Aftermath
Brother Henry of Dobin leads a force into Oukaym territory, burning villages and killing inhabitants, but the pursuing Lethowini inflict heavy casualties on both sides.
That same year, Brother Henry of Dobin and certain brothers with two hundred men entered the territory of the castle of Oukaym, and after burning six villages, capturing and killing the inhabitants, they withdrew. The Lethowini, pursuing them, repeatedly attacked them in force, so that on each side many more were seriously wounded.1
