When they were approached neere togither, and readie to ioine,The duke of Lancaster. the duke of Lancasters battell incountered with the battell of sir Berthram de Cleaquin, which two battels verie eagerlie assailed each other, so that there was betwixt them a sore conflict, and well con|tinued. The erle Dom Teille, and his brother the lord Sanches, vpon the first approach of the princes bat|tell towards them, fled out of the field, and with them two thousand speares, so that the residue of their bat|tell were shortlie after discomfited, for the capitall of Buz otherwise Beuf,The capitall of Beuf. and the lord Clisson, came vp|on them on foot, and slue and hurt manie of them, so that they brake their arraie, and fled to saue them|selues.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 This chance discomforted the hearts of the Spa|niards right sore, but yet king Henrie like a valiant gentleman came forward, and incouraged his men all that he might, so that there was a cruell battell, and well foughten a long time. For the Spaniards with slings cast stones in such fierce manner, that they claue therewith manie an helmet and bassenet, hurt manie, and ouerthrew them to the earth. On the other part,The archers. the English archers shot freshlie at their enimies, galled and slue the Spaniards, and brought them to great confusion: yet king Henrie nothing abashed herewith, wheresoeuer he perceiued his men to shrinke, thither he resorted, calling vpon them, and exhorting them to remember their estimations and duties, so that by his diligence and manfull incou|ragement, thrise that daie did he staie his people, be|ing at point to giue ouer, and set them in the faces of his enimies againe. Neither did the souldiers alone manfullie behaue themselues, but the cap|teins also stoutlie laid about them.

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.
