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.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 After the battell, king Peter went to Burgus, and was receiued into the citie, and shortlie after, that is to say, on the wednesdaie folowing, the prince came thither, and there held his Easter with king Peter, and tarried there aboue thrée weekes. Froissard. In the meane time, they of Asturgus, Toledo, Lisbone, Cor|doua, Galice, Siuill, and of all other places of the kingdome of Spaine, came in, and did homage vnto king Peter, promising him to be true to him euer after: for they saw that resistance would not auaile so long as the prince should be in the countrie. After this, the prince was in hand with king Peter, for the souldiers wages, by whose aid he was thus resto|red into his former estate. King Peter went vnto Siuill, to make shift for monie accordinglie, promi|sing to returne againe, within a few weekes, and to sée euerie man paid, according as he had couenan|ted. For when he was driuen out of his realme, and came to Burdeaux to craue aid of the prince, he pro|mised, that so soone as he should be restored to his kingdome, he would see the souldiers contented of their wages, and bound himselfe thereto, both by his oth and writing giuen vnder his seale. But when he obteined his purpose, he forgat all fréendlie dutie, and was so farre from performing his promise, that he cloaked his ill meaning with a feigned tale, and sent the prince a message spiced with hypocrisie and vnthankfulnesse, two foule faults in a priuat man, much more odious in a prince and great state, as the poet wiselie and truelie saith in this distichon:
Omne animi vitium tantò conspectius in seCrimen habet, quantò maior qui peccat habetur.
