Compare 1577 edition: 1 This chance discomforted the hearts of the Spa|niards right sore, but yet king Henrie like a valiant gentleman came forward, and incouraged his men all that he might, so that there was a cruell battell, and well foughten a long time. For the Spaniards with slings cast stones in such fierce manner, that they claue therewith manie an helmet and bassenet, hurt manie, and ouerthrew them to the earth. On the other part,The archers. the English archers shot freshlie at their enimies, galled and slue the Spaniards, and brought them to great confusion: yet king Henrie nothing abashed herewith, wheresoeuer he perceiued his men to shrinke, thither he resorted, calling vpon them, and exhorting them to remember their estimations and duties, so that by his diligence and manfull incou|ragement, thrise that daie did he staie his people, be|ing at point to giue ouer, and set them in the faces of his enimies againe. Neither did the souldiers alone manfullie behaue themselues, but the cap|teins also stoutlie laid about them. King Peter like a lion pressed forward,King Peter. coueting to méet with his bro|ther Henrie, that he might séeke his reuenge on him with his owne hands. Cruell was the fight, and tried throughlie with most eger and fierce minds.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 At length, when the Spaniards were no longer able to susteine the force and violence of the English|men, Gascoignes, & other which were there against them, they brake their arraie, and fled; so that neither the authoritie nor bold exhortation of king Henrie, could cause them to tarrie anie longer: wherevpon, when he saw himselfe forsaken of his people,The Spani|ards put to [...]ght. and that few abode with him to resist his enimies, he al|so to saue himselfe fled out of the field, being fullie persuaded, that if he had béene taken, no ransome should haue saued his life. The battell that was best fought, and longest held togither, was that of the strangers, which sir Berthram de Cleaquin led. For if the Spaniards had doone halfe their parts as well as the Frenchmen, & other in this battell, the matter had gone harder against the Englishmen than it did: yet finallie, by the noble courage of the duke of Lancaster, and the valiant prowesse of sir Iohn Chandois, sir Hugh Caluerlie, & others, the French|men were put to flight, and their battell quite dis|comfited. The slaughter in this battell was great, both of them that were slaine in the field, and of those that were drowned in the riuer that runneth by the towne of Nauarret.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 After that the battell was ended, and that such as had followed the chase were returned, the prince cau|sed the fields to be searched, to vnderstand what num|ber had béene slaine in the battell: they that were ap|pointed to take the view, vpon their returne repor|ted,The number slaine at this battell at Na|uarret. that there was dead of men of armes fiue hun|dred and thréescore, and of commons about seauen thousand, and fiue hundred of the English part: there were slaine of men of name, but foure knights, two Gascoignes, one Almaine, and the fourth an Eng|lishman, and of other meane souldiers, not past fortie (as Froissard saith.) But others affirme, that there were slaine of the princes part about sixtéene hun|dred; which should séeme to be more like a truth, Fabian. if the battell was fought so sore and fiercelie, as Froissard himselfe dooth make report. Howbeit, Caxton. there be that write, how the duke of Lancaster wan the field by great fortune and valiancie, yet the prince came neere to his enimies. But howsoeuer it was, the Englishmen obteined the victorie in this battell, fought on a saturdaie being the third of Aprill, in the yeare 1367. There were taken prisoners, Froissard. to the number of two thousand, and amongst them the erle of Dene, sir Berthram de Cleaquin, the marshall Dandrehen or Odenhen, Caxton. and manie other men of name.
