Upon the French side the losses were numerically much smaller.

The German cavalry, after routing those of l'Hopital, instead of following up the pursuit hurled themselves upon the infantry, who broke almost without resistance.

These also escaped with comparatively little loss, de Malo leading the cavalry at once against the French reserves.

Among the cavalry commanded by Enghien the loss was very heavy, and included many gentlemen of the best blood of France.

There was no pursuit; half the French cavalry were far away from the field, the rest had lost well nigh half their number, and were exhausted by the fury of the fight; indeed, the fugitive cavalry were miles away before the conflict ended.
