[1] [2] [3] The slaughter was not great, for there were no footmen on either part, to spoile or kill the men of armes that were throwne beside their horsses: for the [page 303] English footmen remained in the wood, or were with|drawne backe, as before ye haue heard, without at|tempting any exploit worthie of praise. Indéed some laie the blame in the Gascoine footmen for the losse of this battell, Matth. West. bicause that they withdrew backe, and left the English horssemen in danger of the enimies which had compassed them about on euerie side. Thrée hundred of the men of armes came through to the towne of Bellegard, Abington. but bicause it was night, so that they could not be discerned whether they were frends or foes, they within the towne would not suffer them to enter: wherevpon they departed, and went to S. Seuere foure leagues off. Yet further in the night, other of the Englishmen were receiued into Belle|gard, which came thither after the other, and so in the morning they of the garison with their assistance is|sued foorth, and comming to the place where the bat|tell had béene, gathered the spoile of the field, and con|ueied into their towne such prouision of vittels as they found there.
