Mortality because of plague in Metz.

Item, on mouroit tousiours fort en Mets de la peste, tellement que tous les seigneurs et dames s'en allont en leurs chastelleries de dehors.

Text translationEnglish translation of the text

The mortality was still strong in Metz because of the pestilence. So that lords and ladies of high ranks fled to their castles in the countryside.
