[1] [2] [3] The cardinall of Piergort the popes legat, as then li [...]ng in the citie of Poictiers,The cardinal of Piergort. came that morning to the king, and required him to absteine from battell, till he might vnderstand whether the prince would condescend vnto such conditions of peace as he him|selfe should thinke reasonable, which if it might be brought to passe, the same should be more honorable for him, than to aduenture so manie noble men as were there with him at that present in hazard of bat|tell. The king was contented that the cardinall should go to the prince, and see what he could doo with him.The prince of Wales con|tented to come to a treatie. The cardinall rode to the prince, and talked with him till he was contented to come to a freatie. The cardinall returned to the French king, and required of him that a truce might be granted till the next daies sun-rising: which truce obteined, he spent that daie in riding to and fro betwixt them.
