And in this manner his Battail consisting of 400 Men of Arms marched up towards the English They pretty well escaped the Archers by that sudden Device but Sr. Eustace received them so sharply that at the first Brunt he slew of them more than Threescore and had well-nigh totally discomfited the whole Body when of a sudden the second fresh Battail of equal Number with the former came on with great Resolution and at the same time the third Battail came on a Wing at their Lest hand both a Defence and Comfort to the other two The French were almost Four to One viz. 1200 Spears against 400 and 900 Foot against 200 but however the English played their Part gallantly and Sr. Eustace presently with his own hands slew four of the most Hardy among his Enemies When Sr. Broquart beheld this his Prowess he strack at his Vizor over other Mens heads till he beat out three of his Teeth but Sr. Eustace left not off fighting for the pain he then began to make his Enemies feel more severe effects of his Anger And still the English were so united in a close Phalanx that the French could as yet make no Impression upon them and the Archers of England shot so thick on the Enemies left Flank that they earst not approach to break them Then the French Men of Arms began to wheel about to the Left and as they went the English Battail faced them without once breaking their Order For all the File-leaders and Bringers-up were the Choicest Men in Front Flank and Reer But at that instant the 900 French Infantry came into the Field well covered with broad Targets who marching directly against the Archers wholly brake their Array for their Shot gave them but little trouble they were so well protected with the mutual Defence of their Shields When thus the Archers were broken the second Battail of the French Men of Arms rode in among them and took or slew most of them but a very few escaped After which they went against the English Valets and won all the Horses except those which the Valets carried away upon the Spur. The mean while the two remaining Battails of Men of Arms entertained the English on one side and the Fourth Battail of Footmen after they had beaten the Archers on the other side so that at last all their Array was broken and Sr. Eustace his Standard beaten down and torn in pieces and most of his Men taken or slain The Lord Eustace himself fell into the hands of a worthy Gentleman called Sr. Henry de Quingey a Burgundian who had much ado to save his Life for the Commons of Troye would fain have had him sacrificed because of the terrible Havock he had made among them in the Country of Champaigne With him were taken alive Sr. John of Paris and Sr. Martin of Spain with many other Knights and Esquires and those that escaped gat into the Fortress of Nogent but they were not many the greater Part not being able to quit the Field in any time because their Horses were all taken The Couragious Manny was left for dead among others in the Field but a while after the Battle when the Enemy was marched off thô grievously wounded and almost exhausted for want of Blood he chanced to open his Eyes and then being something reviv'd with the fresh Air he lifted up his Head a little but saw nothing about him except Dead Men lying on the Ground By and by he enforced himself so far as to rise as well as he could half way and so sat down a while and look'd about and found he was not far from the Castle of Nogent which was an English Garrison Hereupon he never left creeping by little and little till at last with much difficulty and much danger of Relapsing he came to the Foot of the Tower Where making signs to them that look'd down that he was a Friend he was received into the Fortress and had his Wounds presently dressed and carried himself so regularly and temperately that within a few Weeks he was perfectly healed This Battle was thus fought ſ Frois ibid. in the Year of our Lord MCCCLIX on the Vigil of St. John Baptist or the twenty third of June VII After this Discomfiture of the Englishmen near Nogent sur Seyne the French Lords and Men of Arms return'd to the City of Troye with all their Booty but they durst not bring thither any of their Prisoners for fear of the Common People who sought to kill them wherefore they sent them to be kept in other French Garrisons But when Sr. Eustace Dambreticourts Men whom he had left in the Garrison of Pougny heard of this their Loss they presently trussed up Bag and Baggage and marched off into better Quatters for they were not enough to maintain the Place The same did those who held other Fortresses which depended on the Lord Eustance For they greatly doubted the Bishop of Troye and the Lord of Fenestrages But Sr. Peter Audley thô he had lost a good Neighbour of Sr. Eustace held his Garrison still at Beaufort Sr. John Segar at Nogent and the Lord de la Brett at Gye upon the Seyne About that time some of Sr. Peter Audley's Men rode forth and took a Neighbouring Town called Rosnay t Frois c. 200. while the Curate was at Mass an English Esquire is said to have gone into the Church and to have taken the Chalice wherein the Priest should have consecrated from the Altar Which Wine he poured out on the ground and being therefore with much Christian Gravity blamed by the Priest he strack him over the Face with his Gauntlet that the Blood gush'd out upon the Altar and so went his way with the Chalice and Patine along with him It is affirmed and I dare not omit so memorable an Instance of God's Judgments tho it displease never so many that this same Esquire being presently after mounted in the Field his Horse began suddenly to turn about and flounce and curvet so fiercely that none durst come near him till at last he and his sacrilegious Master fell both together Dead on the ground and soon after they crumbled away to Powder Whereupon all the other Souldiers that were eye-witnesses of this dreadfull Judgment were so terrified that they vow'd never more to violate any Church or Holy Place while they lived VIII In these days as if it pleased Almighty God to afford some short Breathing to the afflicted Realm of France before King Edward came over to add to her Afflictions the greater part of these licentious Plunderers of a sudden fell to decay and declin'd so fast that it was miraculous And first u Frois c. 200. in the strong Castle of le Herelle within four Leagues from Amiens the Lord John of Picquigny who had been so perfidious to his Lord and Master the French King was now in God's just Judgment repaid by his own Servant his Chamberlain by whom as

But Sir We desire to know from whom We are to expect our Wages for it will be difficult to oblige Men of War to go abroad into a strange Country without such kind of Considerations Then the Prince turned his Face to Don Pedro and said My Lord O King You hear what our Subjects say Pray please to answer them Your self as to this point For it is your Concern so to do To this Don Pedro answer'd Most Dear Cousin as far as the Gold Silver and other Treasure which I have brought hither with me and I 'll assure You 't is not the Thirtieth Part of what I 've left behind as far as that will go I shall now immediately resign that entirely to your Dispose to be bestowed among our Friends your Subjects And for what shall remain if God Almighty send Us Success I shall make full amends in all things of this Be this Honourable Assembly my Witness Sir said the Prince You say well and as Circumstances stand We can expect no more of You. As for the Remainder therefore I my self will be indebted to these Gentlemen and pay them as occasion shall require all which my Lord O King I shall lend unto You expecting to be repaid upon our good Success in Castille Hereupon Don Pedro renew'd his Promise to be more than Just in all manner of liberal Retributions acknowledging with many fair expressions of Gratitude the extraordinary Favour Grace and Courtesie which the Prince had been pleased to shew unto him X. Now in this Council there were many Noble Personages of great Experience in Affairs of that Nature and who especially understood the difficulties usually attending an Expedition into Spain Such as the Lord John Chandos the Lord John Greilly Captal of Busche the Earl of Armagnac the Lord of Pamiers and others who had been more than once in Spain to help the Good King Alphonso against the Moors These all concluded that it was absolutely necessary if they resolved to go into Spain to bring over the King of Navarre to their side For they could not pass but thrô his Country over the Pyrenean Mountains by the streights of Roncevaux Which Passage it was doubted whether they might obtain because Charles the Present King of Navarre and Don Henry the Bastard had lately made a strict Alliance together After much altercation upon this point also the Parliament was prorogued to another day when they were to meet in the City of Bayonne about six Leagues from the Confines of Navarre and the Prince was by his Ambassadors to request the King of Navarre's Presence at that Assembly So the Prince sent unto him the Lord John Chandos and the Lord Thomas Felton who behav'd themselves with such Discretion and gave him such Reasons that he faithfully engaged both by word of Mouth and also under his Hand and Seal not to fail on the appointed day of being present at the Parliament at Bayonne And with this News the two Knights returned to the Prince The day appointed being come there came to Bayonne King Don Pedro Edward Prince of Aquitaine and of Wales the Captal of Busche the Earl of Armagnac the Lord of Albret and all the Barons of Gascogne Guienne Poictou Quercy Rovergue Sainctogne and Limosin and thither also came Charles the King of Navarre in Person to whom the Prince and King Don Pedro shew'd extraordinary respect the rather because they design'd to prepare him for their opinion This Parliament sat thus at Bayonne five days together For the Prince and his Friends had much adoe to perswade the King of Navarre he being a Person of that temper as to be stiff and almost inexorable when he saw any One stand in need of him But at last when he consider'd the great Power of the Prince and that He who now desired him if too much provoked might compell him on certain considerations he was content to renounce the League he had made with Henry the Bastard and sware and promised under his Hand and Seal Peace Love and firm Alliance and Confederation to King Don Pedro as likewise Don Pedro did unto Him by the Prince of Wales his menagement and contrivance The Latter as true King of Castille engaging by Covenant then Engrossed and Sealed to give and restore unto the King of Navarre and to his Heirs for ever all the Land of y An Oregne Groigne as it lies on both sides the River and also all the Lands of Salvatierra with the Town Castle and all the Appurtenances Also the Town of St. John Piè du Port and the Marches thereabout which Lands Towns Castles and Seigniories he had before violently
