Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 5 The Frenchmen, as they returned to Orleance,Prisoners slaine by the French as they were taken. fell at variance for their prisoners, and slue them all, sauing the earle and his brother. Shortlie after, the same French armie came to Mehun, where they tooke the tower at the bridge foot, and put therein a garrison. From thence they remooued to Baugen|cie, and constreined them that were within the towne to yéeld, vpon condition they might depart with bag and baggage. At the same place there came to the duke of Alanson, the new constable Arthur of Bri|taine, and with him the lord Dalbret, and other. Also after this the earle of Uandosme came to them, so that by the dailie repaire of such as assembled togi|ther to strengthen the French part, they were in all to the number betweene twentie and thrée and twen|tie thousand men.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 All which being once ioined in one armie, Nichol. Giles. Fiue thousãd saith Hall. shortlie after fought with the lord Talbot (who had with him not past six thousand men) neere vnto a village in Beausse called Pataie: at which battell the charge was giuen by the French so vpon a sudden, that the Englishmen had not leisure to put themselues in a|raie, after they had put vp their stakes before their archers, so that there was no remedie but to fight at aduenture. This battell continued by the space of three long houres: for the Englishmen, though they were ouerpressed with multitude of their enimies, yet they neuer fled backe one foot, till their capteine the lord Talbot was sore wounded at the backe, and so taken.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 Then their hearts began to faint, and they fled,Great losse on y^e English side The lords Talbot, Scales, and Hungerford taken. in which flight were slaine aboue twelue hundred, and fortie taken, of whome the lord Talbot, the lord Scales, the lord Hungerford, & sir Thomas Ramp|ston were chéefe. Diuerse archers, after they had shot all their arrowes, hauing onelie their swords, defen|ded themselues, and with helpe of some of their hors|men came safe to Mehun. This ouerthrow, and spe|ciallie the taking of the lord Talbot, did not so much reioise the Frenchmen; but it did as much abash the Englishmen: so that immediatlie therevpon, the townes of Ienuile, Mehun, Fort, and diuerse other, returned from the English part, and became French. From this battell departed without anie stroke stri|ken sir Iohn Fastolfe, the same yeare for his vali|antnesse elected into the order of the garter. But for doubt of misdealing at this brunt, the duke of Bed|ford tooke from him the image of saint George, and his garter; though afterward by meanes of freends, and apparant causes of good excuse, the same were to him againe deliuered against the mind of the lord Talbot.
