The English bowmen and men-at-arms held their ground stoutly, while the Welshmen stabbed the French horses in the ro^l^e, and brought knight after knight to the ground. Soon the French host was wavering in a fatal confusion. "You are my vassals, my friends," cried the blind King John of Bohemia, who had joined Philip's army, to the German nobles around him : "I pray and beseech you to lead me so far into the fight that I may strike one good blow with this sword of mine ! " Linking their bridles
... together, the little company plunged into the thick of the combat to fall as their fellows were fall- ing. The battle went steadily against the French: at last Philip himself hurried from the field, and the defeat became a rout; 1,200 knights and 30,000 footmen— a number equal to the whole English force — lay dead upon the ground.
" God has punished us for our sins," cries the chronicler of St.
Denys, in a passion of bewildered grief, as he tells the rout of the great host which he had seen mustering beneath his abbey walls.
