Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 It was said, that after he perceiued there was no remedie, but present losse of the battell, he counselled his sonne the lord Lisle, to saue himselfe by flight, sith the same could not redound to anie great reproch in him, this being the first iournie in which he had béene present. Manie words he vsed to persuade him to haue saued his life: but nature so wrought in the son, that neither desire of life, nor feare of death, could ei|ther cause him to shrinke, or conueie himselfe out of the danger, and so there manfullie ended his life with his said father. There died also the earles bastard sonne Henrie Talbot, and sir Edward Hull elect to the order of the garter, and thirtie other men of name and right valiant personages of the English nation. EEBO page image 641 The lord Molins was taken prisoner with thréescore others. The residue of the English people fled to Burdeaux and other places, of whome in the flight were slaine aboue a thousand persons.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Thus at this battell of Chatillon, fought the thir|teenth daie of Iulie in this yeare, ended his life Iohn lord Talbot, and of his progenie the first earle of Shrewesburie: after that he with much fame and most victorie, had valiantlie made warre, and serued his prince and countrie by the space of foure and twentie yeares, in the parties of beyond the seas, whose corps was left on ground, and after was found by his fréends, and conueied to Whitchurch in Shrop|shire where it was interred. After this discomfiture diuerse lords fled to Burdeaux, but the earle of Can|dall, the lords of Montferrant, of Rosaine, & of Dan|gladas entered into the castell of Chatillon, which by the space of ten daies they defended: but in the end despairing of all succours, they rendred the fortresse, and came safe to Burdeaux.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 After this, the townes of saint Million, Liborne, and all other, which the erle of Shrewesburie had con|quered, rendred themselues to the Frenchmen, Bur|deaux onelie excepted. Which citie, being the last re| [...]uge of the English people, the French king in per|son besieged with all his puissance; and in conclusion constreined both the garrisons and inhabitants to yéeld, so that the Englishmen & Gascoignes might safelie depart into England or into Calis, with all their substance;Burdeaux yeelded againe to ye French. and that the lords de Lesparre, Du|ras, and thirtie others, should neuer (vpon paine of death) be found within anie of the French kings do|minions, which lord de Lesparre being after taken in Gascoigne disguised, was made shorter by the head. When this composition was agréed and sealed, the Englishmen were shortlie transported ouer into England, in the moneth of October this present yeare.
