Thus they continued for the space of eight daies from morning till night, readie to abide, but not to giue battell. There were manie skirmishes, and di|uerse proper feats of armes wrought in that meane while,French lords slaine. in the which the French lost manie of their no|bles and gentlemen, as the lord Pa [...]rou [...]tars de Tries, brother to the marshall of France, the lord Matelonne or Martelonne, the lord de la Ualle, and the bastard of Bourbon, with other, to the number (as some haue written) of fiue hundred. But Engue|rant de Monstrellet affirmeth, that vpon their re|turne into France, there wanted not aboue thrée|score persons of all their companies.
