he d●ew all his Forces near king Edward's Army in a spacious field near the Town of Cressey King Edward and the Black Prince 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of their Numbers proceeded with all diligence to put their Army in Aarry of battel the Prince entreating of his Father that he might have the Conduct of the battel to win his Golden spurs of Knight-hood having lately been made Knight of the Garter or if so Heaven ordered it loose his life with the Honour of the Day to this the King easily consented as having before Determined it The whole Army immediately upon this was divided into Three battels which the prince caused to be so Imparked or Barrocaded behind with Carriages and Carts that the Enemy should not be able if they Enclosed them with their Numbers easily to break into their Rear The first Battel was Led by the Black Prince who was assisted by the Earl of Warwick and Canford The Lord Harecourt Stafford Manny Delawar Chandois Cliflord and Bourcher Sir Reynald Cobham Sir Thomas Cobham Sir Roger Ne●il and others consisting of 800 men at Arms 2000 Archers and 1000 other Souldiers The second Battel was Commanded by the Earls of Northampton and Arundell accompanied by the Lords Ross Lygo Willoughby Basset St. Auban Milleton and Delasale with many other Lords Knights and Gentlemen of Note consisting of 800 men at Arms and 1200 Archers The Third and main Battle being placed between the other two was Commanded by the King assisted by three Earls and many Lords and knights Consisting of 700 men at Arms 2000 Archers and 1000 other Souldiers well approved and appointed for the War Being thus ordered in Expectation of the Enemy the approach of night hindred their joyning then in battel the French not withstanding their great brags much declyning it so they spent the night in Prayers to God and moderate Refreshment whilst the king and Prince in Disguise went from Tent to Tent to sée how their Courage stood affected asking the private Souldiers what they thought of the number of the French Army whether the news held they should certainly fight on the morrow with many such Questions How the king and Prince stood affected in the matter To this the Souldiers not knowing them replyed as for the French Numbers they minded them not for they should soon by English Valour the deadly points of their Arrows which they had sharpened to the purpose be lessened and God willing brought to confusion as for the certainty they should fight on the morrow which they earnestly desired and were willing to spend their blood in the honourable cause of their king and Country they doubted not unless the French declined it by retiring that night as for the king and Prince they said they doubted not of their Courage so often approved and were proud to lose their lives fighting under their Command These words from the unthinking Souldiers greatly pleased the King and Prince and from their natural Courage and Alacrity drew certain presages of Victory and so having gone round the Camp betook themselves for a few hours to their repose Early in the morning the signal for battel was given on both sides the French out of a Bravado first beginning it Then Philip their King ordered 15000 Genoways with their Cross-hows shooting steel Arrows square headed to begin the fight these made their fi●st on-set on the Princes b●ttel but either for want of skill or making more hast than good speed they were put into foul disorder by the English Archers the greater part of them slain and the rest soon defeated compelled to retire in which so violent hast in rude heaps they rushed unto the French King's battel and so disordered it that the French without mercy put most of them to the Sword This first bad success did not so discourage the French but that trusting to their numbers they came resolutely on and chiefly charged the Princes B●ttel with great fury as eagerly thirsting for Revenge but he stoutly repelled them doing wonders in Person and by his valiant Example so encouraged his men that they fought like Lyons laying thousands of their Enemys dead before them and yet for all the Numbers that pressed on them maintained their battle entire and unbroken by means whereof ●hey made prodigal expence and havoke of the French-men who being first broken could not observe any order at all nor help themselves by any Ingenious Policy of war yet though they fell in great Numbers before the Price's battel yet those that came to stop the gaps Detah had made pressed hard on and many of them met the like fate however the pressing numbers gave no leasure to the Prince nor his assistants to breath or take any respite of refreshment hoping by that means to weary and tire them out so that the brave Prince though he were full of Incomparable Valour and Resolution yet being diststessed for want of a breathing-time sent to the King who stood a Looker on with his Battle untouched to come to his Relief Of the Messenger sent the King enquired whether his Son was alive or not to which he replyed he was and then fighting among the thickest of the Enemy If so said the king tell him from me that he must expect no Aid for this shall be the day in which he shall winn honour and his Spurs of knight-hood or lose his life for in life or death he shall ingross to himself the whole honour and glory of this day When the Prince was informed what the king had said being urged by sharp necessity and Annimated with fresh hopes of a Famous Victory he Encouraged his Companions in Arms that they rewed and redoubled their strength and courage and fought with such undaunted spirits that the French-men fainted and fled and were so eagerly pursued that the greater part of their Numerous Army lay breathless on the ground and in the Chase two Marshalls of England Encountred with a multitude of the Inhabitants of Bevois Regmerry Aubiville and Roan who ignorant of the defeat were marching to the French Army of whom 7000 were slain and the rest saved themselves by flight and the next day they were charged by the Arch-Bishop of Roan and Grand Prior of France who conducted a strong Army whom they worsted killing great numbers of them so that in these battles there were slain of the French 11 Princes 80 Barrnons 1200 Knights and n●●●● then 30000 Souldiers the French king being forced to fly hastily out of the Battel to save his life The Plunder of the Field was bestowed on the Army and the dead bodys of such as were of Note king Edward car●yed with him to Mountrel and there with due Solemnity caused them honourably to be buried The king and Prince thus Victorious over their Enemies marched through the Country without any oppossition and begirt the strong tow of Callis with a straight Siege to the Relief of which ater●a Year the French king came with an Army of 20000 men but
