Book 1, Part 1, ch. 287. « Ibid. p. 237. s 2 260 LIFE AND TIMES OP EDWAKD HI. Chap. XIV. A.D. 1346. The Eng- ]it)h Earls send to Edward for help, Avhich he rcfubcs. Courage- ous con- duct of the hlind old King of Bohemia, the English which was commanded by the Black Prince, and about the same time a body of German and Savoyard knights broke through the Prince's bowmen, to the men-at-arms behind, and engaged with them in a hand-to-hand fight. Then the Earls of Northampton and Arundel, who comman...ded the second division of the English, seeing the furious attack that was made on the Prince, sent to the King to beg him to come to his son's help. " Is he dead, or unhorsed, or so wounded that he cannot help himself ? " asked the King, " No, Sire, please God ; but he is in a hard passage of arms, and he much needs your help." " Sir Thomas," said the King, "return to those who have sent you, and tell them not to send to me again so long as my son lives ; I command them to let the child gain iiis spurs, for I wish, if God has so ordered it, that the; day may be his, and that the honour may rest with him and those to whom I have given it in charge." So the knight returned with the King's answer, and the English fought more fiercely than before.
