Among the former were the constable himself, the count of Nevers and the duke of Brabant, brothers to the duke of Burgundy; the count of Vaudemont, brother to the duke of Lorraine, the duke of Alencon, the duke of Barre, the count of Marle. The most eminent prisoners were the dukes of Orleans and Bourbon, the Counts d'Eu, Vendome, and Richemont, and the mareschal of Boucicaut. An archbishop of Sens also was slain in this battle.
The killed are computed on the whole to have amounted to ten thousand men; and as the slaughter fell chiefly upon the cavalry, it is pretended that, of these, eight thousand were gentlemen.
Henry was master of fourteen thousand prisoners.
The person of chief note who fell among the English, was the duke of York, who perished fighting by the king's side, and had an end more honorable than his life.
He was succeeded in his honors and fortune by his nephew, son of the earl of Cambridge, executed in the beginning of the year.
