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.
