The French king came forwards toward the prince, and at Ambois heard how the prince was in Touraine, meaning to returne through Poictow.

They were in number twentie thousand men of armes; of noble men there were six and twentie, dukes and earles, beside a great number of other lords and ba|rons: the foure sonnes of the king were there, as the lord Charles duke of Normandie, the lord Lewes af|ter duke of Aniou, the lord Iohn after duke of Ber|rie, and the lord Philip which was after duke of Bur|gongne. The French king doubting least the prince should escape by spéedie iournies out of his countrie, before he could come to giue him battell, remooued to Chauuignie;Chauuignie. and there passed the riuer of Creuse by the bridge, supposing that the Englishmen had beene before him, but they were not. Some of the French|men taried behind at Chauuignie for one night, and in the morning followed the king. They were about two hundred men of armes vnder the leading of the lord Craon, the lord Raoull de Coucie, and the earle of Ioignie. They chanced to incounter with cer|teine of the auaunt currours of the English armie, which remooued that day from a little village fast by. Those Englishmen were not past three score men of armes, but well horssed, and therefore perceiuing the great number of the Frenchmen, they fled towards the princes battell, which they knew was not farre off. Capteins of the Englishmen were two knights EEBO page image 388 of Heinault, the lord Eustace Dambreticourt, and the lord Iohn of Guistelles.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The Frenchmen beholding them in this wise to flée, rode after amaine, and as they followed in chase, they came on the princes battell before they were a|ware. The lord Raoull of Coucie went so far for|ward with his banner,The lord Ra|oull de Cou|cie taken. that he entred vnder the prin|ces banner, and fought right valiantlie, but yet he was there taken, and the earle of Ioignie, also the vi|count of Bruce, the lord Chauuignie, and diuerse o|ther, so that the most part of those Frenchmen were either taken or slaine,Frenchmen distressed. and verie few escaped. The prince vnderstood by the prisoners, that the French king was so farre aduanced forward in pursute of him, that he could not auoid the battell. Then he as|sembled his men togither, and commanded them to kéepe order, and so rode that day being saturdaie from morning till it was toward night, & then came within two leagues of Poictiers: and herewith sen|ding foorth certeine capteins, to search if they could heare where the king was, he incamped himselfe that night in a strong place amongst hedges, vines, and bushes. They that were sent to discouer the countrie, rode so far, that they saw where the French king with his great battell was marching, and setting vp|on the taile of the Frenchmen, caused all the host to stir: whereof knowledge being giuen to the king, the which as then was entring into Poictiers, he retur|ned againe, and made all his host to doo the like, so that it was verie late yer he and his people were be|stowed in their lodgings that night. The English currours returning to the prince, declared what they had séene and doone. So, that night, the two armies being lodged within a small distance either of other, kept strong and sure watch about their campes.
