The king was so mooued therewith, that if the lord Godfrie of Harecourt had not asswaged his mood, the towne had béene burnt, and the people put to the edge of the sword: but by the treatie of the said lord Godfrie, proclamation w [...]s made, that no man should put fire into any house, nor [...]lea any person, nor force any woman, and then did the townesmen and souldiers submit themselues, and receiued the Englishmen into their houses.40000 clot [...]s as Gio.

He passed by Eureux & came to Louiers,Louiers. which the Englishmen soone entred and sacked with|out mercie. Then went they foorth and left Roan, and came to Gisors, the towne they burnt,Gisors. but the castell they could not get: they burnt also Uernon,Uernon. and at Poissie they repared the bridge which was broken, and so there they passed ouer the riuer of Saine. The power of the Englishmen increased dailie, Gio. Villani by such numbers as came ouer foorth of England in hope to win by pillage. Also manie gentlemen of Norman|die, and other of the French nation, which loued not nor owght any good will vnto the French king, came to the king of England, offering to serue him, so that there were in his armie foure thousand horsse|men and fiftie thousand footmen with the Normans, and of this number there were thirtie thousand Eng|lish arthers, as Giouan Villani writeth. The Eng|lish marshals ran abroad iust to Paris,S. Germans in Laie. S. Clowd. and burnt S. Germans in Laie: also Mountioy, and S. Clowd, and petie Bullongne by Paris, & the queenes Burge.

They were quickelie assailed, and though they defended themselues manfullie for a while, yet at length they were ouercome, and eleuen hundred of them slaine in the field, beside those that were taken. The Englishmen had all their cariage and armour.
