[1] [2] [3] On that sundaie morning, the Englishmen met with diuerse Frenchmen, that had lost their waie on the saturdaie, and wist not where the king nor their capteins were become. They were all slaine in man|ner, so manie as the Englishmen could meet wish, insomuch that of the commons and footmen of the ci|ties and good townes of France (as was thought) there were slaine this sundaie foure times as manie as were slaine on the saturdaie in the great battell. When those Englishmen that were sent abroad thus to view the countrie, were returned againe, and sig|nified to the king what they had seene and doone, and how there was no more appearance of the enimies, the king to search what the number was of them that were slaine, and vpon the view taken, it was re|ported vnto him, that there were found dead eleuen princes, foure score baronets, 12 hundred knights, and more than thirtie thousand other of the meaner sort. Thus was the whole puissance of France van|quished, and that chéeflie by force of such as were of no reputation amongst them, that is to say, the Eng|lish archers, by whose sharpe and violent shot the vic|torie was atchiued, to the great confusion of the French nation. ¶ Of such price were the English bowes in that season, that nothing was able to with|stand them; whereas now our archers couet not to drawe long and strong bowes, but ra [...]her to shoot compasse, which are not meet for the warres, nor greatlie to be feared, though they come into the field.
