and the Duke of Orleans. Wherefore the Duke of Burgundy
sent to the Lord Henry, Prince of England,[324] for aid to oppose the
Duke of Orleans: who sent to his succour the Earl Arundell, John
Oldcastle the Lord of Cobham, the Lord Gilbert Umfravill, the Lord of
Kyme, and with them a great army; by whose prowess at Senlow [Reg.
'Senlowe'], near Paris, the Duke of Orleans was vanquished, and
cruelly routed from the field, and his followers crushed, routed, and
slain. And the same Duke of Orleans thought how he could avenge
himself against the Duke of Burgundy; and immediately he sent to King
Henry of England a great sum of gold, together with William Count
Anglam [Reg. "de Anglam"], his brother, as a hostage or surety for a
greater sum, to obtain succour from the King of England himself. And
the King did not put off sending him succour; and he appointed Lord
Thomas, his second son, Duke of Clarence, and conferred on him the
dukedom (or, as it was of old time, the earldom) of Albemarle; and
Edmund, who before was Duke of Albemarle, then, after the death (p. 435)
of his father, he advanced to be Duke of York. And Lord John Cornwall,
who married his sister, the Duchess of Exeter, and whom the King
appointed Captain of Calais, he sent towards the parts of France with
a great power of men. And when they landed in Normandy, near Hogges,
forthwith the Lord de Hambe, with seven thousand armed men, went up
against the English to oppose them, and thus on that day there was a
great slaughter of men; for on the part of the Duke of Burgundy eight
hundred men were taken, and four hundred slain: and thus at length
victory was on the side of the English. After which the Duke, with his
army, turned off towards the country of Bourdeaux,[325] [ ]
destroying [ ] of the countrymen, collecting great sums
of money, at length arrived at Bourdeaux, and from thence they
returned to England about the vintage."

[Footnote 324: This is another sign that it was
written by a foreigner. No Englishman would have
been likely to call Henry the Prince of England. He
was either called Prince of Wales, or more
frequently the Prince.]
