And when it came to the middle of the fielde the Englishmen were more encouraged to slaye there enemies then tofore, as to whome was no trust of life but only in victorie. They slewe them that came first vnto them, vppon whose deade bodies [an]^ innumerable companie were [throwne and]^ slayne, and that the victorie surelie remayned to the Englishmen. Thus after a longe and cruell battaile by the demerits of theire greate pride there approached no man [of the French] '^ to battaile, but only to ...death : of whom, after that an innumerable companie were lo slayne, and that the victorie surelie remayned to the Englishmen, they spared to slaye and tooke prisoners of the Frenchmen both Princes, Lords, and gentlemen [in great number].^ In this mortall battaile the noble Kinge neuer spared his body from labour, from perrills, nor from fightinge ; nor he neuer fayled his men for no dainger of death, nor for no paine ; but he fought w*** his aduersaries w"" an ardent hart as a famyshed * lyon for his pray ; in his helmet and in the residewe of his armour he receaued many strookes.
