In conclusion, the king minding to make an end of that daies iornie, caused his horssemen to fetch a compasse about, and to ioine with him against the rereward of the Frenchmen, in the which was the greatest number of people. When the Frenchmen perceiued his intent,The French rereward dis|comfited. they were suddenlie amazed and ran awaie like sheepe, without order or arraie. Which when the king percei|ued, he incouraged his men, and followed so quicke|lie vpon the enimies, that they ran hither and thither, casting awaie their armour: manie on their knees desired to haue their liues saued.

When this dolorous decree,All the pris [...]ners slaine. and pitifull pro|clamation was pronounced, pitie it was to sée how some Frenchmen were suddenlie sticked with dag|gers, some were brained with pollaxes, some slaine with malls, other had their throats cut, and some their bellies panched, so that in effect, hauing respect to the great number, few prisoners were saued.
