Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 And yet was it nothing so, for neither the king knew of the Frenchmens approch that daie, neither they of his passing ouer the water. Edw. Hall. Polydor. But when the king had aduertisement giuen him (by the light horssemen that were sent abroad to discouer the countrie) how the Frenchmen were at hand; he pre|pared himselfe to the battell, and first set foorth his horssemen,The king with his bat|tell of footmen. and then followed himselfe with his bat|tell of footemen. The French capteins being hereof aduised, determined not to fight without their foot|men; and therefore with all spéed sent backe their carriages, and staied with their horssemen, vntill the carriages might haue leasure to get out of danger. In the meane time the Englishmen aduanced for|ward, and their horssemen mounted vp the hill, where the French horssemen were in troope, with thirtie and three standards spred, & might sée the Eng|lishmen comming, and the kings battell marching forward with the Almans.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 There were amongest the Frenchmen certeine companies of Estradiots, which being placed before the French hoast, as they came downe the hill to EEBO page image 822 skirmish with the Englishmen saw where the ban|ners of the English horssemen were comming,The Estradi|ots mista|king footmen for horssemen fled first. and the kings battell following vpward, weening vere|lie that all had béene horssemen, wherevpon they cast themselues about and fled. The Frenchmen were so fast in arraie, that the Estradiots could not enter; and so they ran still by the ends of the Frenchmens ranks. Herewith the English horssemen set on, and about an hundred archers on horsse-backe, being lighted beside their horsses, and set by an hedge all a|longest a village side called Bomie, shot freshlie at their enimies; & also certeine culuerings being pla|ced on the top of an hill were discharged amongest the thickest prease of the Frenchmen; so that finallie the French were discomfited: for those that were be|hind saw the fall of some of their standards, which the Englishmen ouerthrew, and their Estradiots also (in whome they had great confidence) returne.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 They that were furthest off fled first, and then the Englishmen & Burgognian horssemen,A great ouer|throw giuen to the French, king Henrie in person be|ing present. which were with them, egerlie followed the chase, in the which were taken the duke of Longuile, brother to the earle of Dunois that had married the daughter and heire to the marquesse of Rothlois, the lord of Clere|mont, capteine Baiard, monsieur de Busie, and o|ther, to the number of twelue score prisoners, and all brought to the kings presence with six standards, which were likewise taken. The Burgognians brought not their prisoners to sight. Monsieur de la Palice, and monsieur de Imbrecourt being taken of them and knowne, were put to their ransomes, and licenced maintenantlie to depart vpon their word. Thus was the power of the French horsse|men by the sharpe incounter of the English horsse|men, and full fight of the battels of the footmen, fol|lowing in arraie at the backs of the horssemen, and the discharging of certeine culuerings amongst them, quickelie put to flight without anie great resi|stance.
