bechance

Mon General, I must ask of you to take a small body of picked men, and ride forth towards Blois, and see what bechances there.

I cannot forget one passage that behappened me heir: bechance to supper I demanded give he could give me a pullet, he promises me it.

According to text and scripture, now I relate a certain adventure, which bechanced in the realm of Brittany, in days long gone before.

My sons—God knows what hath bechanced them; But this I know,—they have demean'd themselves Like men born to renown by life or death.
