THE Nineteenth Annual Meeting of the Society was held in the William Salt Library, Stafford, on the 19th October, 1897. Present : The Eight Hon. the Lord Wrottesley (in the Chair), The Eev. F. Parker, The Eev. W. Beresford, The Eev. E. Collett, The Eev. C. T. Eoyds, and Messrs. W. H. Duignan, G. Gill, N". Joyce, Major-General the Hon. George Wrottesley, Honorary Secretary, and Mr. J. W. Bradley, Assistant Secretary. The following Eeport of the Editorial Committee was read by the Honorary Secretary : — REPORT OF THE EDITORIAL COMMITTEE FOR THE YEAR 1896-97. The Editorial Committee have to report that Volume XVII of the " Staffordshire Collections " was issued to the Subscribers in June of this year. Volume XVIII is in the press, about lOOpagesof it having been printed up to the present date . Its contents will consist of another instalment of Staffordshire Fines up to the end of the fourth year of James I. These are the only extracts from the Records relating exclusively to Staffordshire which have been made during the past year ; for the Honorary Secretary being under the impression that the History of Weston would be ready for publication this year, has been engaged in researches into the history of the French war of 1346-47, which includes the battle of Crecy and the Siege of Calais. He was led into making these researches by the discovery of a class of Records which lias not hitherto been utilized by antiquaries, viz: the exoneration from an assessment on their lands for providing men-at-arms and archers, which was made in favour of all those who served in person in the expedition. From this source he has been able to collect the names of all the Earls and Barons who displayed banners during the expedition, as well as the names of over 800 Knights and Esquires who took part in it. He thinks these ought to be printed, and he offers the result of his labours to the Society ; but a difficulty presents itself in the fact that the paper he has prepared does not refer specially to Staffordshire, although the names of many Staffordshire landowners occur in it. It would, however, be of interest to many of the Subscribers who have no connection with the County, and a certain number of copies would be probably purchased by the general public. It is proposed, therefore, to obtain the assent of this Meeting to print this paper on Crecy and Calais, and to sell 100 copies of it, with a view of defraying the cost of reproducing in colours all the banners [69 in number] which were displayed by the English at Crecy. It should be understood that these are absolutely authentic, the names of the Bannerets being taken from the Records, and the arms or banners from cotemporary Rolls of Arms. Nothing of this kind has hitherto been attempted, or was feasible before the discovery of the above-named documents amongst the Exchequer Records. The cause of the delay in the production of the History of Weston arises from a serious genealogical error having been dis- covered in the MS. left by the late Canon Bridgeman. This has necessitated the re- writing of the History from the reign of Edward III, when the manor passed into the possession of the Peshall family. Unfortunately, before the error was discovered, about 50 pages had been printed, embodying the erroneous view taken by the late Canon, and these will have to be paid for, although they must be thrown aside. A discussion ensued respecting the advisability of printing the paper on Crecy and Calais, and it was ultimately decided to carry out the work. A Balance Sheet of Receipts and Expenditure during the past year was laid before the Meeting and approved. A report from the Assistant Secretary was laid before the Meeting, and was as follows : — REPORT FOE, YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 15, 1897. Three notices of withdrawal have been received during the year, viz. : — October, 1896. Mr. W. F. Willmore. „ The Rev. W. J. Heale. November, ,, Mr. Geo. Griffiths. The loss by death is less than last year, although the list includes one which properly belongs to last year's report; but respecting which information was not received until after the last Annual Meeting, viz. : the death of Sir Smith Child, which took place in March, 1896. During the year the Society lost — 1897. February 14. Major-Gen. Edmund Manningham Buller. „ May 26. Dr. Weston, Chetwynd House, Stafford. „ July — . Rev. J. G.

THROUGH the kindness of Miss Eyton, the Editor is enabled to give as a frontispiece to this volume a portrait of her father, the eminent antiquary, and one of the Founders of this Society, who died in 1881. The following account of him is from the pen of Mr. Edmond Chester Waters, and appeared in the " Academy " of October 15th, 1881 :— " The great Shropshire antiquary sprang from two well-known families of ancient gentry in that county ; for his father was a cadet of the Eytons of Eyton, and his mother was the heiress of the Plowdens of Plowden. Both these families continue to enjoy the estates from which their respective ancestors took their names in the reign of Henry II ; • but it is characteristic of the .historian that he was contented to record the fact, without tracing the pedigree beyond his usual limits, or alluding to his own descent. His father, the Rev. John Eyton, held the family livings of Wellington and Eyton; and Eobert William, the fourth son, was born at his father's Vicarage on December 21, 1815. He was educated at Rugby, and at Christ Church, Oxford, where he graduated with honours in 1839. His name appears in the second class in classics ; but so good a scholar would not have missed a place in the first class if he had given less time and thought during his University career to English history and antiquities. After faking his degree he entered holy orders, and was presented in 1841 to the Rectory of Ryton, in Salop, which was his home for the next twenty-two years. His great work, ' The Antiquities of Shropshire/ was planned and written at Ryton, and was com- pleted in 1861, after twenty years of patient industry, which can only be appreciated by those who have been engaged in similar researches. It appeared in forty --eight parts, making twelve octavo volumes, and the original price to subscribers was £12 ; but the edition was limited to 500 copies, and since the extraordinary merit of the book has been recognised, it has become so scarce that a complete copy now fetches £25 at sales. This recognition came too late to benefit the author, and the book to which he devoted the best part of his life was, with all its literary success, a pecu- niary loss. This result, however, troubled him the less, because he had worked from pure love of the subject, without expectation of profit or fame, and his enthusiastic interest in the antiquities of his native county made his labour its own reward." He died September 8th, 1881. FINAL CONCORDS OS PEDES FINIUM OF MIXED COUNTIES (WHICH IKCLUDE STAFFORDSHIRE). ALSO CITIES. TEMP. ELIZABETH. FINAL CONCORDS OF MIXED COUNTIES.

Cumb therefore, where a man is shewn to have Knights in his train, it may be usually assumed that he is a Banneret, for a Knight would rarely serve under another Knight. Earls had in their retinue Bannerets, as well as Knights and Esquires. All hereditary Barons served as Bannerets by prescription. The infantry consisted, first, of Pauncenars, who were men selected for their bodily vigour and who could march on foot with armour. There were very few of these in the army of Edward, their number being 398. These men were probably held in reserve for difficult enterprizes, such as the storming of fortresses and castles. They wore the chapeau de fer and " gesternes," which were tunics without sleeves, covered with oblong pieces of steel sewn upon them, the weight of which must have been enormous. Next came the Archers on foot, who wore the " chapeau de fer " or steel cap and a padded tunic, and carried bows and arrows and a short sword. Lastly came the Welsh and Irish foot, who were little more than a rabble, and were armed one-half with spears and the other 1 The effect of these colours, relieved with the gold and silver of the arms, must have formed a very striking picture. Froissart, speaking as an eye witness, gives the following description of the English army drawn up on the plain of Troyes in 1360 :— "Done sonnerent leurs trompettes parmi 1'ost, et s'armerent toutes gens de toutes pieces, et etoient les seigneurs montes sur chevaux converts et pares de leurs armes, dont les sambues et les houssemens alloient jusques a terre, chacun sire dessous sa banniere ou son pennon. De voir les batailles des Anglois comrne ils etoient runges sur la champ et mis en trois batailles, les archers sur ele, (1'aile) et les gins d'urmcs en front, c'etoit grand plalsance a regarder." B 2 4 CRECY AND CALAIS. half with bows and arrows. All carried in addition long knives or daggers. The total army before Calais, according to a Muster Eoll left by Walter de Wetewang, the Treasurer of the Household, con- sisted of — The Prince of Wales ... 1 Bishop and Earls with two of Almayne ... 13 Barons and Bannerets ... ... ... ... 78 Knights with 91 of Almayne 1,066 Esquires, Sergeants-at-Arms, and Standard Bearers ... 4,182 Centenaries ... ... ... ... ... 52 Vintenaries .. 794 Hobelars 528 Archers 20,0761 Pauncenars of Almayne ... ... ... ... 389 Crossbows... ... ... ... ... ... Ill Yeomen of the King's Household — Minstrels, Messengers, etc. ... ... ... ... 146 Welshmen 4,572 Besides these, there were 314 masons, carpenters, smiths, miners, tent-makers, "gunnatores," and "artillarii." The latter were the men in charge of the catapults, and martinets, and other engines of war. The Gunners were doubtless the artillerymen in charge of the five portable guns which, according to Villani, Edward brought into the field. The Constables were men in charge of bodies of mounted men — hobelars or archers; the centenaries were men in charge of 100 men on foot, and the " vintenaries " were men in charge of 20 men, and would correspond to the Captains and Subalterns of a modern army. The above numbers shew the strength of the English army before Calais in 1347. At this time, however, it had been rein- forced by the retinues of the Earls of Lancaster, Pembroke, and others who had been employed in Gascony, and by the retinues of 1 Oiit of this number, 4,025 were mounted archers, but many of this description of fcr^e may have lost their horses at this date, and hare been reckoned amongst the archers on foot. Every English Knight or Esquire would bring into the field a mounted archer, and some would biing many more. The number of English Earls, Bannerets, Knights and Esquires, i.e. the number of English lances at Calais, amounted to 3,563. CRECY AND CALAIS. 5 the northern lords who had joined the King after the Battle of Neville's Cross. Additional forces had also been levied in England. It is probable that the strength of King Edward's army at Crecy did not exceed 20,000 men, for, as an invasion from Scotland was apprehended, only the counties " citra Trent " had been summoned for the expedition to France. This would except from the general summons the Counties of Derby, Notts., York, Westmoreland, Durham, Cumberland, and Northumberland. On the other hand, the whole -array of Chester followed the King, and the Palatine Bishop of Durham accompanied the expedition with a large retinue of Knights and men-at-arms. The twelve Earls who, according to Wetewang's account, were with the King at Calais, were as follows : — 1. Henry Plantagenet, the Earl of Lancaster.. 2. John Plantagenet, the Earl of Kent. 3. Thomas de Beauchamp, the Earl of Warwick. 4. William de Bohun, the Earl of Northampton. 5. John de Vere, the Earl of Oxford. 6. Eichard Fitz Alan, the Earl of Arundel. 7. William de Clintpn, the Earl of Huntingdon. 8. Eobert de Ufford, the Earl of Suffolk. 9. Laurence de Hastynges, the Earl of Pembroke. 10. Maurice, the Earl of Kjldare. 11. The Earl of Holstein. 12. The Earl of Freiburg. Besides the above, the Eecords shew that John de Warreime, the last Earl of Surrey, was at Calais in 1347. This Earl was a member of the Eegency in England, and was advanced in life. He died apparently at Calais in July, 1347, aged 61. The Earls of Kent, Lancaster, Pembroke, and Kildare were not at Crecy, having joined the King at a later date during the Siege of Calais. The great lords who, besides the Earls, displayed Banners in this expedition were : — Ealph Lord Stafford. Eeginald Lord Cobham. Michael Lord Ponynges. Thomas Lord Bradestone. John Lord Darcy.

CRECY AND CALAIS. 7 Sir William de Kildesby, Keeper of the Privy Seal. Sir John de Thoresby, and Simon de Islep, successive Keepers of the Privy Seal after the death of Kilde3by. There is authority for all the names in this list, but it will be seen it exceeds the number of 78 named by Wetewang in his accounts. The difference is due to the loss by deaths or invaliding : thus Sir Maurice Berkeley, Sir Hugh de Hastings, Sir Alan de la Zuche, Sir Ealph de Willington, and Sir John de Mauduit died in France. Sir Henry de Braillesford and others were in- valided. The northern lords, such as Lord Lucy and the Baron of Grey stock, did not join the army before Calais until after the defeat of the Scots at Neville's Cross. John Lord Grey of Codnor, Sir Walter Mauny, and other Bannerets of the retinues of the Earls of Lancaster, Pembroke, and Kent, likewise joined the King during the Siege of Calais. Besides the Bannerets mentioned in the foregoing list, there is reason to believe that the following must have served as Bannerets during the expedition. These are — Sir John de Cherleton le fitz. Sir John Arderne. Sir Koger de la Warr. Sir William de Caverswall. Sir Eichard Damory. Sir William Bodrugan, and Sir John Hastang, of Chebsey. Sir William Botreux. My reasons for this supposition are that all Barons summoned in person by the King were entitled to display their Banner in war ; and when they were represented by a son, the latter as a rule displayed his father's banner. The first two represented their fathers, who were unable to take the field, owing to age or in- firmity. Sir Eichard Damory was son of Eichard Lord Damory, who died in 1330. He was therefore head of his house at this date, but was never summoned to Parliament. Sir John Hastang represented Eobert Lord Hastung, who was summoned to Parlia- ment temp. E. I., and was son of Sir Thomas Hastang, who was summoned as a Banneret in 1342.1 Sir William Bodrugan and Sir William Botreux both appear to have been summoned as Ban- nerets in 1342. Sir John Arderne had been specially summoned as a Banneret by a writ dated 15th March, 134G, and Sir William 1 The Hastangs appear to have been Bannerets by prescription, for the principal tenant under them at Chebsey held his land by the service of carrying his lord's Banner in time of war. Ing. p.m. CRECY AND CALAIS. Caverswalle had married the Dowager Countess of Mar, and held in her right large possessions. ' In these cases it was usual to summon the husband as a Banneret. In fact, the question whether a man served as a Banneret or a simple Knight depended chiefly upon the extent of his possessions ; and when the King created a Banneret who had not a large patrimony, he invariably gave him an annual pension to enable him to support the dignity. Many of the Knights who figure most prominently in the pages of Froissart, such as Sir John Chandos, Sir Thomas Holland, Sir Reel Loryng, Sir Guy de Brian, Sir Ealph Basset (of Sapcote), a.nd Sir James Audley (of Stretton), were not advanced to the rank of Bannerets until a later period of the war. The first writs for the expedition were issued on the 28th August, 1345. These appointed Commissioners of Array for all counties citra Trent, with instructions to array all men between the ages of 16 and 60, who were to be ready to embark from Portsmouth at three weeks from Michaelmas.1 These writs were probably more formal than real, for the King could never have intended to take all the able-bodied men of those counties with him, nor would boys of 16 and men of 60 years of age have been able to carry the arms of that period. Other writs directed the Commissioners to array a certain number of archers from each county, and conduct them to Portsmouth at the same date. The total number of archers to be arrayed under these writs was 3,580, A writ dated from Eeading on the 20th January, 1346, directs the Commissioners to postpone the assembly of the army till the Sunday in Mid-Lent. The Sheriffs of counties were ordered to provide bows and sheafs of arrows and send them to the Tower of London : and the Constable of Dover Castle, who was the Warden of the Cinque Ports, was ordered to stop all ships within his jurisdiction of thirty tons and upwards, and to send them to Portsmouth. Similar writs were sent to the two Admirals of the coasts north and south of the Thames. A writ to the Mayors or Bailiffs of London and 140 other towns, dated tOth February, 1346, directs them to array men and send them to Portsmouth at the same date. The total number to be raised from the towns did not exceed 2,000 men. A writ, dated 3rd February, 1346, addressed to William de 1 The intention of the King at this time was to proceed to Guienne. CRECY AND CALAIS. 9 Bohun, Earl of Northampton, and 22 other Welsh lords, directs them to array 3,500 Welsh, half to be armed with bows and the other half with spears, and to assign leaders for them, who were to conduct them to Portsmouth on the Sunday in Mid-Lent. A similar writ to Edward Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester directs him to array 3,500 Welshmen armed as above and 50 archers from the County of Chester. On the 5th March writs were issued to all the above directing them to postpone the sending of the men till the Quindene of Easter. A writ, dated 5th March, commands the Commissioners of Array in each county citra Trent to select archers and to send them to Portsmouth by the Quindene of Easter, prepared to embark with the King. The total number of archers to be arrayed under this writ was 3,580. A writ, dated 1st April, commands Guy de Brian, the Warden of the Forest of Dean, to select 40 expert miners from the district, and to purchase horses for the transport of their implements, and to send them to Portsmouth at the above date. On the 28th March assessors were appointed for all counties citra Trent to select men-at-arms, hobelars, and archers. The writ states that, with the assent of the magnates and other liegemen of the Kingdom, it had been ordained that all who held from 100s. up to 10 marks of land or rent should find an archer. Those who held the same from £10 up to 20 marks, should supply a hobelar, and those of £20 two hobelars ; those assessed at £25, a man-at^ arms, and so on in proportion. A writ, dated 30th March, informs the Sheriffs of London that the King had assigned Andrew le Fevre (the Smith) of the Tower to select 12 master smiths with their artificers within the City of London who were to be ready to embark with the King at the same date. The above writs shew the composition of the King's, army, and the pains he took to form an efficient and mobile force. As a military machine, the army collected for the expedition of 1346 was probably superior to any force sent out by the English up to the expedition to Egypt of 1882.1 The strength of it would be approximately as under : — 1 Lord Wellington had certainly no artificers or miners with his army in the Peninsula iip to 1813, The army in Turkey in 1854, although provided with artificers, had no means of carrying their tools and implements, not a single horse 10 CRECY AND CALAIS.

At all these points he had a secure base of operations and a safe retreat, if he met with disaster, To the astonishment of everybody, he chose neither of these alternatives, but landed his troops on the open coast of Normandy, and, what is still more remarkable, there is no doubt but that this decision, opposed as it or cart for transport having been sent with the troops. To shew the inefficiency of the latter army from this cause, the present writer having been sent to meet the first detachments of the army which landed at Q-allipoli in April, 1854, proposed to Sir George Brown, who was in command of the troops, to conduct him and his Staff in order to point out to them the position, a few miles in front of Gallipoli, which was to be entrenched. He was informed, in rep]y, that the Staff could not leave the town for some days, as the horses' shoes had been removed, and no farrier had been brought with the detachments. 1 These numbers are taken from Froissart, but they receive some confirmation from Wetewang's accounts and other sources. Froissart states there were 800 men- at-arms in the Prince's division, 500 in the second division, and 700 in the King's division. These numbers appear small at first sight, but it must be remembered the expedition was formed originally to reinforce the Earl of Lancaster in Guienne. Froissart in more than one paragraph speaks of Edward's army as merely a hand- ful of men. CRECY AND CALAIS. 11 was to all military rules, was the main cause of his success. The enemy, being taken by surprise, left at his disposal all the resources of the country, and, lulled into a false security by the weakness in numbers of his force, neglected all the precautions requisite for success. The King's first intention, however, was without doubt to join the Earl of Lancaster in Guienne, and his fleet sailed to the west- ward with a favourable wind. On the third day the wind changed to the south-west, and threw his fleet back on the coast of Cornwall, where they laid at anchor for six days, waiting for a change of wind. Godfrey de Harcourt, a French refugee in the King's service, then urged upon him the advisability of landing in Normandy, pointing out to the King that it was a very rich country, that the harvest had just been gathered, and he would find provisions in abundance ; that the province, moreover, was defence- less, all the nobility and men-at-arms having been sent to the south to oppose the Earl of Lancaster. This reasoning prevailed, and the fleet set sail with a fair wind for Normandy, reaching La Hogue in the Cotentin on the 12th July. The point where they disem- barked formed a part of the inheritance of Godfrey de Harcourt, and the local knowledge and influence of the latter was of great service to the King. The oppressive conduct of Philip had caused much discontent amongst a large class of the French nobility, and on his arrival at La Hogue, Edward was joined by William de Groucy, Eoland de Verdon, and other Norman Knights, whom he took into his service, and to whom he subsequently granted liberal pensions.1 It is not generally known that there exists official reports of the expedition to Normandy of 1346 contained in the letters of Michael de Northburgh, one of the King's clerks. I propose to make use of these as the groundwork of this account, using Froissart's more pic- turesque narrative to fill up blanks or to illustrate events wherever necessary. Northburgh, whose letters are written in French,2 states that " the King and his army reached Hogges de St. Val on the 12th July and remained there till the following Tuesday (18th July) in order to disembark the horses, repose the men, and collect provisions. At La Hogue they found eleven ships, of 1 Issues of the Pell. 21 E. III. 2 These letters are to be found in the Chronicle of Eohert de Aresburj. They appear to have been addressed to Queen Pliilippa, or to one of the members of the Hc'gency in England. 1.2 CRECY AND CALAIS. which seven had ' chastiels 51 before and behind, and these were burnt. On the Friday, whilst the King was still there, some of his men went to Barflet (Barfleur) and took nine ships with castles before and behind, two good ' craiers,' and other smaller vessels, all of which were burnt, and they reported that the town was as good and as large as Sandwich ; and after the enemy who were at Barfleur had left the town, the sailors burnt it, and they also burnt several good towns and manor-houses in the neighbour- hood. On the Tuesday the King moved on to Valognes, and stayed there that night and found a sufficiency of provisions ; on the morrow he made a long march as far as the Bridge of Dove (Douvres), which the inhabitants of Carentan had destroyed. The King repaired the bridge during the night, and on the morrow occupied the town of Carentan, which was less than an English league from the bridge. Garentan they found to be as large as Leicester, with a great quantity of wine and provisions; much of the town was burnt, notwithstanding the efforts of the King to prevent it ; arid on the Friday the King moved on, and lay in some country towns (wiles campestres) upon a river (the Vire), which was difficult to pass, for the inhabitants of St. Lo had destroyed the bridge. The King repaired the bridge, and on the morrow encamped outside the town. The men of the town had begun to fortify it, and had introduced into it a number of men-at-arms with a view of holding it, but these left the town before the arrival of the King, and they found in the town 1,000 butts of wine and a great quantity of other things, the town being larger than Lincoln. " And on the morrow the King departed and lay at an Abbey, and his army in the villages round about; and his men rode pillaging and destroying five or six leagues round and burnt several places. On the Monday the King moved on, and en- camped on that day and the Tuesday in country villages. On the Wednesday (26th July) they came before the town of Caen at the hour of None, and heard that there was a large body of men- at-arms within the town. The King therefore drew up his army in battle array (fist arraier ses latailles Ms et grosses) and sent some of his men to view the town, and they found the castle to be well built and strong, and within it were the Bishop of Bayeux and several Knights and men-at-arms. J i.e. castles, hence our term forecastle. These were ships of war. CRECY AND CALAIS. 13 " On that side of the river the town was large and handsome, and at the end of it there was an Abbey as noble as could be, where William the Conqueror was buried, and it was enclosed by walls which were embattled and very strong, but nobody was inside the Abbey. And at the other end of the town there was another fine Abbey for women, and there was not a man in either of the Abbeys, nor on that side of the river, except in the castle, the people of the town having been withdrawn to the other side of the river, where the Constable of France and the Chamberlain of Tanker ville, who was a ' mult graunt seigneur' were with 500 or 600 of their men, and the ' comune ' of the town. The English, without orders or any array, attacked the bridge, which had been strengthened by palisading and barriers, and had great difficulty to take it, for the French defended it bravely. And the Constable and Chamberlain were taken prisoners there with 100 of their Knights and 120 or 140 Esquires ; and a great number of Knights and Esquires and men of the town were killed in the streets and houses and gardens. It was impossible to count the number of those of importance, be- cause they were so stripped and despoiled they could not be recog- nised. And amongst our people no gentilhomme was killed, except an Esquire, who was wounded and died two days after- wards. In the town was found wine and provisions and other goods and chattels without number, for the town was larger than any town in England except London. " And when the King moved from La Hogue, he left behind 200 ships, which went to Eothemasse and burnt everything within two or three leagues of the coast, and they took many goods which they carried to the ships, and then they went to Cherburgh, which is a good town with a strong castle and a fine Abbey, and they burnt the town and the Abbey, and everything was burnt on the coast from Eothemasse [Kade de St. Vaest] as far as Hostrem [Oustriham] on the Harbour of Caen, for about a distance of 120 English leagues, and they burnt 61 ships having castles before and be- hind, and 23 craiers, besides smaller vessels of twenty-one to thirty tons (de vingt un come de trente tonels de vyri)1 And the Thursday after the King came before Caen, those of the city of Bious (Bayeux) sent word they wished to surrender to him and perform homage, but he would not accept the offer, until he could protect them from damage." 1 This shews how the tonnage of ships was measured — by the number of tuns of wine which could be carried in the vessel : hence the term. 14 CRECY AND CALAIS. Froissart's account of the expedition up to this point is as follows : — " After the navy had disembarked all the horses and harness, the King appointed two Marshals to his host, one of whom was the Lord Godfrey de Harcourt and the other the Earl of Warwick. The Constable was the Earl of Arundel, and the King commanded the Earl of Hostidonne (Huntingdon) to remain on board ship with 100 men at arms and 400 archers. The men were formed into three columns (batailles) of which one moved on one side follow- ing the ships on the right, the other on the left, and the King and the Prince his son were in the centre, and every night the Marshals fell back to the position occupied by the King. " In this way they moved on : those who were at sea took all the ships, large and small, which they found, and carried them on with them. Archers1 and men on foot accompanied the fleet on one side, and robbed and pillaged and took all they could, and thus they proceeded until they came to a good town called Barfleur, which the inhabitants surrendered for fear of their lives ; but nevertheless they left the town, and it was plundered, and much gold and silver and many rich jewels were taken, and they found so much that the common men took no account of fine clothes lined with fur ; and they forced many of the men of the town to enter the ships lest they should incommode the army after it had passed. " And after the town of Barfleur had been taken and plundered, but not burnt, the troops spread themselves over the country, following the ships, and met with no opposition anywhere ; and they came to a large and rich town and seaport called Chierebourc (Cherbourg), of which they plundered and burnt a portion, but they could not take the castle, which was strong and well- garrisoned with men-at-arms, and so they passed on by Monte- bourg and Valongne. These were burnt and pillaged, and in the same manner so many other towns that it is a marvel to think of and to recount. And then they came to a large enclosed town called Carenten, where there was a good castle, and a large body of soudoyers (light troops) as a garrison. Then the lords and men- at-arms who were on board ship landed, and assaulted the town so vigorously that the townspeople, out of fear of their lives, sur- rendered on condition that the lives of themselves and their wives and children might be spared. Upon this the garrison moved into 1 When not otherwise specified, Archers signify mounted men, viz. the Archers on horseback who accompanied the men-at-arms. CUECY AND CALAIS. 15 the castle which was very strong ; but the English not wishing to leave the castle in this condition, attacked it during two days, and the garrison, seeing no hopes of succour, then surrendered on con- dition their lives and goods might be spared. The English then burnt the town, and made the burgesses embark on board their fleet, and took them with them as they had done in the case of Barfleur, Chierebourc, and Montebourc, and the other towns which they had taken and pillaged. And now I will speak of the march (chevauchde) of the King of England. " After the King had sent his men, at the head of whom was one of his Marshals, the Earl of Warwick, and Sir Begin aid de Cobham, to follow the fleet, as has been shewn, he made Sir Godfrey de Harcourt the Commander of all his other troops, for he was well acquainted with the whole of Normandy. And he departed as Marshal, with 500 men-at-arms and 2,000 archers, and rode quite six or seven leagues from the King's army, burning and devastating all the country. And they found the country very rich with plenty of everything, the barns full of wheat, and the houses full of riches, with many wealthy burgesses, carts and waggons, horses, pigs, sheep, and the finest oxen in the world, which were bred in that country. And they took at their will all they wanted, and carried it to the King's army ; but the common soldiers (les varlets) never gave up to the King the gold and silver which they had found, " And in this way Sir Godfrey de Harcourt rode on each day on the right of the King's army, returning in the evening to the point where the King had movedj and occasionally he remained away two days when they found much to forage. And in this way the King and his convoy marched until they came before St. Lo in Cotentin, where he encamped upon a river (the Vire), awaiting the arrival of his men who had moved by the coast. And when these had arrived and had packed their baggage on the wagons, the Earl of Warwick> the Earl of Suffolk, Sir Thomas de Holand, and Sir Eeginald de Cobham resumed their march on the left, burning and devastating the country in the same way as Sir Godfrey de Harcourt. The King marched between these two columns, and every night they collected the three columns together. "And the news having reached the King of France, who was in Paris, how the English was devastating right and left the rich province of Normandy, King Philip swore that the English 16 CRECY AND CALAIS. should not return without a battle, and that the trouble and loss which they had caused should cost them dear : and he wrote to his friends of the German Empire in the first instance, as they were the most distant : viz. to the good King of Bohemia and to Charles of Bohemia his son, who had been elected King of Germany, by the assistance of his father and of the King of France.1 These collected a large force of men-at-arms in Germany, Bohemia, and Luxembourgh, and came to France to the support of the King. King Philip also wrote to the Duke of Lorraine, who came to serve under him with 400 lances ; and there likewise came the Earl of Saumes (Salm) in Saumois, the Earl of Salebruche (Saarbruck), the Earl of Flanders, and the Earl William of Namur. He also wrote to Sir John of Hainaut, who had lately become allied to him by the marriage of his daughter to the Earl Louis de Blois his son, and to the Seigneur of Fagnoelles (Faignole). And the gallant Sire de Beaumont and Sir John de Hainaut came to serve the King with a large force of good Knights (bonne baclielerie) of the County of Hainault and else- where. And the King of France summoned likewise from all parts men-at-arrns, so that he made one of the largest assemblies of great Lords, Dukes, Earls, Barons, and Knights which had been seen for at least 100 years. " And in the meantime the English moved on in three columns, the Marshals to the right and left, and the King and Prince in the centre, and they proceeded by short stages, for they were always encamped between tierce and noon, and they found the country so plentiful and so well furnished with all victuals that they had to make no provision except for wine. It was no wonder that the country was frightened and appalled, for up to that time they had not seen a rnan-at-arms and knew nothing of wars and battles, and they flew before the English whilst they were still far off, leaving their houses and barns full, with- out making any attempt to save or guard them. The King of England and his son had in their train about 3,000 men-at-arms, 1 Louis of Bavaria had been elected Emperor, but had been excommunicated and deposed by the Pope. Charles, the son of the King of Bohemia, was the nominee of the Pope, and, being supported by Philip, had been elected King of the Romans on the llth July, 13 i6. It was owing to this dispute that the King of Bohemia was serving the King of France at Crecy, for he had been driven out of his Kingdom by the other party. CRECY AND CALAIS. 17 6,000 archers, and 10,000 men on foot, without counting those who rode with the Marshals. And so they moved on, without changing their order of march, burning and devastating the country. They left the City of Coutances on one side and came to the large town of St. Lo, which at that time was a rich market town, worth three times the value of Coutances ; and the town contained a large quantity of cloth and many rich "burgesses, and 8,000 or 9,000 inhabitants. When the King of England arrived before the town, he took up his quarters outside, for he was afraid of fire ; but he sent his men into the town, which was completely robbed and pillaged, and nobody would believe the great spoil which was collected in this town. " And from St. Lo the King of England and his men passed on to another town which was three times as large, which was called Caen, and it was full of rich merchandize of cloth, with many ricli burgesses and noble ladies, and handsome churches. And in particular there were two great Abbeys, very rich, one at one end of the town, and the other at the further end, viz. those of St. Stephen and the Trinity. One, which was a nunnery, provided a maintenance for 120 ladies when full. On another side of the town there was a castle, one of the finest and strongest in Normandy, the captain of which was a brave Knight of Normandy called Eobert de Warigny, and he had a garrison in it of 300 Genoese. In the town itself there were the Earl of Eu and Ghines, the Constable of France, and the Earl of Taucarville, with a large force of men-at-arms. The King of England therefore advanced cautiously, and drew his columns together, and encamped at night in the fields at the distance of two short leagues. His navy had followed the coast, and arrived at two leagues from Caen, at a town and harbour called Austrehan (Estreham)^ which is on the Orne river which runs by Caen; and with the fleet was the Earl of Hostidonne (Huntingdon), who had the command of it. The Constable of France and the other lords, who had been collected, left the town that night and took no notice of the English : but in the morning they called all the burgesses of the town to arms, and held counsel with them as to what they proposed to do to hold the town ; and it was the intention of the Constable of France and the Earl of Tancarville that no one should leave the town, but that they should guard the gates, the bridge and the river, leaving the faubourgs to the English, because these were not enclosed. The men of the town, however, answered that they would not do c 18 CRECY AND CALAIS. this, but would fight outside, for they were strong enough to resist the English. When the Constable heard this, he said ' Then let it be so ; but you shall not fight without me and my men,' and so he drew them up outside the town, making a very good appear- ance as if to defend it.1 " The King of England, after having heard mass at sunrise, mounted his horse, accompanied by Sir Godfrey de Harcourt, by whose counsel and advice he was greatly governed, and he drew up his army in battle array, the banners of the Marshals being in front, and in this way they advanced towards the town. The burgesses of Caen, when they saw the approach of the English, who came on in three columns, with their ranks closed up, and saw the great number of banners and pennons floating in the wind, and heard the shouting of the archers, such as they had never seen or heard before, were so discouraged and frightened that it was impossible to keep them in their ranks, and they flew back to the town notwithstanding the efforts of the Constable, the dis- order being so great that many men were thrown from their horses, and others thrown down and trampled on by other men, so that they fell in large heaps one upon another. "The Constable of France and the Earl of Tancarville and some of their Knights then fell back and took up a position at one of the gates, for they saw it was hopeless to recover the ground, the English having rushed in amongst the fugitives, killing them without mercy. Some of the French Knights and Esquires who knew the way to the castle were taken in by Robert de Warigny, for the castle was large and well provisioned. The English, who were pursuing the fugitives, killed a_ great many, for they gave no quarter, so that it happened that the Constable of France and the Earl of Tancarville saw no means of escape, and were afraid they would fall into the hands of Archers who would not know them. And whilst they were looking on with great tribulation at the slaughter around them, they perceived an English Knight who had lost an eye, who was called Sir Thomas de Holand, with five or six other Knights in his company ; and they knew Sir Thomas, for they had served with him in Grenada and in Prussia, and in other expeditions.2 They therefore called him by name as he passed. 1 This does not agree with North!: urgh's letter. See ante, p. 13. 2 Against the Moors and infidels of Lithuania. He would be readily recognized by his surcoat of arms, which was very remarkable even for those days. It consisted of an azure field, diapered with silver fleur-de-lys and over all a lion rampant silver. CRECY AND CALAIS. 19 Sir Thomas stopped and asked them who they were. The French Lords then gave their names, and offered to surrender themselves as his prisoners. Sir Thomas, when he heard this, was greatly rejoiced, not only that he could save their lives, but because it was a fortunate adventure for him, being worth to him quite 100,000 rnoutons d'or. He therefore collected together as many of his men as he could, and, with sixteen others, he dismounted and readied the gate, and found there the two lords and quite 25 Knights with them, who surrendered themselves prisoners ; and having left sufficient of his men to guard them, he mounted his horse and rode through the streets, where he prevented much cruelty and many horrible acts which would have been perpetrated if he had not been there. " With the same Sir Thomas de Hollande there were many gallant Knights of England (gentils chevaliers d'Angleterre), who prevented much mischief and saved many of the bourgeoises and cloistered ladies from violation, and it was a great advantage to the King of England that the river which runs through Caen at this time was so low that the English could pass and repass it without using the bridge. " And in this way the good city of Caen was taken, but it cost the King many lives, for the inhabitants mounted into the upper stories of the narrow streets and threw down stones and benches and 'mortiers,' by which on the first day 500 of his men were maimed or killed. In consequence of this the King was so incensed that he ordered that on the next day the town should be burnt and all put to the sword. But Sir Godfrey de Harcourt dissuaded him from his purpose, pointing out that he had yet a long journey to make before he could reach Calais, and that there were still in the town a great multitude of people who would defend themselves to the last in their houses, and their resistance might cost him so many lives that he would be forced to forego further enterprises ; therefore it was best to spare the people, who in that case would become quite reconciled to their new lot within a month ; and the King, after hearing what Sir Godfrey had said, saw that he spoke the truth, and said to him, * Messire Godefrey, you are our Marshal : order what you think best to be done/ And then Sir Godfrey rode, with his banner displayed, from street to street and gave command in the name of the King that no man, on pain of death, should set fire to a house, or kill a man or violate a woman. c 2 20 CRECY AND CALAIS. " Wlien the inhabitants of Caen heard this proclamation they became reassured and received many of the English into their houses, and some of them even opened their coffers and gave up to them everything they possessed, so long as they were assured of their lives. Notwithstanding this, however, there were many horrible murders and robberies committed in the town, for in such a host as the King of England led there were many villains and malefactors and unscrupulous people (et gens de petite conscience.)1 " The English remained masters of Caen for three days, and it was a marvel to think how much they conquered and amassed in that time. They took everything they required, and sent by barges and boats, clothing, jewels, vessels of gold and silver, and other riches down the river to Austrehem, where the navy was lying, and it was determined to send all the spoil and prisoners to England. The Earl of Hostedonne (Huntingdon) was in command of the Fleet, and took with him 200 men-at-arms and 400 Archers. The King of England purchased the ransoms of the Earl of Ghines, the Constable of France, and the Earl of Tancarville from Sir Thomas de Hollande and his companions, for which he paid them 10,000 nobles,2 and they were sent to England in the fleet, and with them more than 60 Knights and 300 rich burgesses, and 1 The King had issued close writs to the Sheriffs of Counties offering a pardon to all malefactors who would serve for a year at their own expense. (" Close Boll," 19 E. III.) 2 The noble was half a mark. This sum would therefore amount to about £3,500, an enormous sum in those days, probably representing not less than £200,000 of modern money. The story of Sir Thomas Holland is a very curious and romantic one. At this date he was a simple Knight, being the second son of Kobert Lord Holland. He had been brought up in the household of Edmund Plantagenet, the Earl of Kent, and had formed a close connection with Joan, the daughter of the Earl, who was known as the Fair Maid of Kent, and was one of the most beautiful women of her day. During the absence of Sir Thomas abroad she had been wooed by Sir William Montagu, who had just come of age and been invested by the King with the Earldom of Salisbury. This was a much better match for her than one with the late Esquire of her father's household, and the fair Joan had apparently no compunction in throwing the latter over ; but when the King returned from the Siege of Calais, at the end of 1347, her former lover had become a Knight of established reputation, had been placed in the King's Household, and had returned, moreover, with a large fortune obtained by the ransom of his French prisoner?. Under these circumstances the affection of Joan for her former lover began to revive, and she plotted with him to obtain the nullification of her marriage with the Earl. Sir Thomas therefore appealed to the Pope, alleging a pre-contract on the part of Joan, followed by cohabitation with him as his wife. This appeal being backed up by the King at Kome, and the allegation being admitted by Joan, proved, successful, and a decree was made in favour of Sir Thomas Holland in. CRECY AND CALAIS. 21 the King sent with them many good wishes and salutations to his wife, the gentille reine d'Angleterre Madame Philippe. " The King on leaving Caen took the road to Evreux, but left the town on one side, as it was too strong, being well enclosed with walls, and he came to a large town called Louviers, which was a rich market town, where a large quantity of cloth was made, and they took the town, which was open, and plundered it, collecting a great quantity of spoil. From Louviers they passed on, and entered the County of Evreux, burning everything excepting the strong places ; but the King would not attack any fortified town or castle, for he wished to spare his men and artillery, and in this way he reached the river Seine on his approach to Eouen, where there were collected a large body of men-at-arms of Normandy under the command of the Earl of Harcourt, the brother of Sir Godfrey, arid of the Earl of Dreux. " The English passed Kouen on one side and went on to Vernon, where there was a strong castle : the town was burnt, but no damage was done to the castle ; and afterwards they burnt Vernueil and Pont de i'Arche and all the country round Kouen, and went on to Mantes and Meullent, plundering the country all round. They passed the castle of Bolleboise without assailing it, and found all the bridges destroyed on the Seine, till they came to Poissy. This bridge was also broken, but the piles were still standing. The King remained five days here until the bridge was repaired so that his army could pass without danger. After this his Marshals advanced up to Paris and burnt St. Germain en Laye and Montjoie, St. Cloud, Boulogne near^ Paris, and Bourg la Reine, and the people of Paris were in a great fright, for the town was not completely enclosed, and they were afraid lest the English might take it.1 1348. Up to this time Joan had been styled the Countess of Salisbury, and the scandalous chronicle of the Court describes her as the King's mistress. As this occurred about the same time as the Institution of the Order of the G-arter, taking i ito account the noted beauty of the Countess and her very doubtful reputation, the story of her having dropped her garter at a ball, and the King picking it up, and the consequent smiles and innuendoes of the courtiers, makes the usually received account of the origin of the Order a very probable one. The doubts thrown upon the story by some writers have arisen from their not knowing that the Fair Maid of Kent, the King's near cousin, was known at one time as the Countess of Salis- bury ; and their consequently confounding her with a previous Countess who had been left a v,idow in 1343. 1 A MS. at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, entitled "Acta Edwardi filii Edwardi tertii," states under date of 20ih August, that about this time Lord Robert 22 CRECY AND CALMS. " King Philip now left Paris and went to St. Denis, where he was joined by the King of Bohemia, the Lord John de Hainaut, the Duke of Lorraine, the Earl of Flanders, the Earl of Blois, and a large body of the Barons and Knights of France. " The King of England moved on with his army, Sir Godfrey de Harecourt being in his front commanding an advanced guard of 500 men-at-arms and 1,200 archers. These met by chance a large body of the burgesses of Amiens, some on foot and some on horse- back who were marching by command of the King to Paris : the fight lasted some time, for the French had many men well armed, and they were commanded by four Knights of the country ; but in the end the English prevailed, and nearly all the burgesses of Amiens were either taken or slain. The English also took all their convoy of carts in which there were a multitude of good things, for they had not long left their city, and were going to meet the King well furnished, and they left quite 1,200 men dead on the ground. The King then entered the country of Beauvoisin, burning and destroying the flat country as he had done in Normandy, and arrived at a rich and handsome Abbey called St. Lucien, near to the city of Beauvais, where he stayed one night. " On the morrow, after he had set out, he perceived that the Abbey was on fire, at which he was greatly incensed, and stopped his march, saying that those who had done this outrage should pay dearly for it, for he had forbidden anyone, on pain of death, to destroy the Churches or Abbeys. He therefore took twenty of those who had set fire to the Abbey and ordered them to be hanged at once, as an example and warning to the others. "On leaving St. Lucien, the King marched to a town called Milly, where he encamped, leaving Beauvais on one side, as it was fortified ; but the two Marshals of the army passed so close to the town that there were some skirmishes at the barriers, and they attempted to storm the town, but found it too strong, for it was Ferrars of Chartley, having conveyed his men over the Seine by a boat, surprised the Castle of Roche-Guyon, and took it by assault. In the castle they found a great number of ladies who had taken refuge in it, because it was considered impregnable. These they dismissed civilly ; and after taking an oath from all the Knights and Esquires within the castle for the payment of their ransoms, they recrossed the river, with the loss only of Sir Edward Attewode, who was killed in the assault. (Barnes' "History of Edward III.") CRECY AND CALAIS. 23 held by men-at-arms and some good arblasters (crossbowmen). They therefore burnt the faubourgs and rejoined the King in the evening. " On the following day the King moved on as before, burning and destroying the country, and reached a large village called Grandvilliers, where he passed the night. On the morrow he moved to Argies and took the castle, which had no garrison, and burnt it, and then passed on to Poix, where they found a good town with two castles. These contained no garrisons ; but in one of them the English captured two handsome girls, the daughters of the Seigneur de Poix, and these would have been violated if it had not been for two gallant English Knights (deux gentils chevaliers d' Angleterre\ who defended them, and took them to the King for safety. These were Sir John Chandos and the Lord of Basset.1 The King received them courteously and honourably, and asked them where they wished to be sent. They answered him ' To Corbie,' and he sent them there in safety. The King stayed that night at Poix. During the night the bonshommes of Poix treated with the Marshals in order to save the town from being burnt, and they agreed to pay a sum of money as a ransom on the morrow. When the King departed he left some men behind to receive the money ; but the men of Poix, seeing the King had left with all his host, refused to pay the ransom, and took up their arms again and attacked the English. The English defended themselves as best they could, and sent messengers to inform the King. These overtook the rear guard under Sir Reginald de Cobham and Sir Thomas de Holand, who returned to Poix, and found the English still fighting with the men of the town. Both the castles and the town were then burnt, and most of the inhabitants were killed. The rear guard then rejoined the King at Airaines, where he proposed to stop for a day or two, with a view of finding a spot where he could cross the River Somme. " In the meantime Philip, the King of France, having collected men from all sides, left St. Denis with a large force, with the intention of overtaking the English and revenging the burning and destruction which they had made in his Kingdom ; and at 1 Ralph Lord Basset of Sapcote, who was chief lord of Cheadle in Staffordshire. Sir John Chandos was son of Sir Edward Chandos, who also held land in Stafford- shire, at Brewood. It is interesting to note that Mr. Chandos Pole, of Kadborne, co. Derby, is the representative, through females, of both this Lord Basset and of Sir John Chandos. 24 CRECY AND CALAIS. this date he had arrived at Coppegny 1'Esquisse, three leagues from the City of Amiens, where he remained awaiting reinforce- ments and to obtain information of the English. " The King of England, as already shewn, had stopped at Airaines, where he heard that the French King was following him ; but he found no means of passing the Somme, which was a broad and deep river, all the bridges having been destroyed, or so well guarded by men-at-arms, that it was impossible to force them. He therefore ordered his two Marshals, the Earl of Warwick and Sir Godfrey de Harecourt, to take with them 1,000 men-at-arms and 2,000 archers, and examine the river carefully in order to discover a spot where the army could pass in safety. " The Marshals proceeded with this force by Long Pre" to Pont- a-Eemy, where they found a bridge occupied by a large body of French Knights and Esquires. The English dismounted and attempted to force a passage, and fought for this purpose from the early morning till prime, but the bridge was so well fortified and so well defended that they were obliged to give up the attempt. They then came to a large town called Fontaine-sur-Somme, which they plundered and burnt, and from there they went to another town called Long-en-Pontrieu, but the bridge was so well fortified and defended they could not pass, and they then went towards Pequigny, which they found likewise to be so well fortified they could not take it : and in this way the French had occupied all the passages over the river, the intention of the French King being to keep the English on that side of the river so that they must either fight him at a disadvantage or die of hunger. " The two Marshals then returned to the King and told him -they could find no means of passing the river, and on the same day the King of France arrived at Amiens with more than 100,000 men. When the King of England heard the report of the two Marshals he became very pensive and melancholy, but ordered the whole army to move on the morrow, following the banners of the two Marshals ; they then took the road to Abbeville, and came to a town called Oise-mont, to which a large number of the inhabitants of the country had retreated, trusting to the strength of the place ; but the English assailed it so vigorously that they took it and killed a great number of the defenders, arid the English King then took up his abode at the Grand Hopital. " At this time the French King was at Amiens, and hearing from his scouts (coureurs) that the English had broken up their CHECY AND CALAIS. 25 camp at Airaines and moved in the direction of Abbeville, after being unable to force the passage of the Somine, he was greatly rejoiced, believing he could enclose the King of England between Abbeville and the river and thus force him to fight whenever he pleased. He therefore ordered one of the chief Barons of Nor- mandy, Sir Godeinar du Fay, to guard the ford at Blanch e-Tache below Abbeville, which was the only passage now left to the English; and Sir Godemar started on this mission with 1,000 men-at-arms and 5,000 men on foot, including the Genoese, and on his way through St. Eiquier en Ponthieu and Crotoy, he collected an additional number of men of the country, besides the burgesses of Abbeville, whom he took with him to guard the passage, so that he had altogether with him 12,000 men, of which 2,000 were inhabitants of Tournay. " King Philip, having given these orders, set out from Amiens with all his force, and moved towards Airaines1 and arrived there about noon, being very desirous to overtake the English and deliver battle at once ; but the King of England had left at 'petite prime ' ; the French, however, found a large stock of provisions left behind by the English, who had decamped in great haste. King Philip then took counsel as to his next step, and was advised to remain where he was till all his force had come up, for it was impossible for the English now to escape him. He therefore encamped at Airaines for the night.2 " To return to the King of England, who was at Oise-Mont. After his Marshals had returned, who had scoured the country up to the gates of Abbeville, and had had a skirmish at St. Valery, he took counsel with them, and caused to be brought before him the prisoners of Ponthieu and Vimeu who had been taken, and asked them if they knew of any means of passing the river below Abbeville, adding that if anyone would give him this informa- tion he would release him and 20 of his companions, to be chosen by himself. One of them named Gobin Agace then came forward who knew the passage of Blanche-Tache well, having been born and bred in the country and having crossed backwards and forwards by it many times. He informed the King that he could conduct the army 1 King Philip's position at Amiens was a very advantageous one, as he was in command of the bridges over the Somme at that place, and could operate on either side of the river. 2 This was an ill advised measure, for if he had pushed on he would have come on the rear of the English whilst they were engaged with G-odemar du Fay. 2(5 CRECY AND CALAIS. across it safely, and that his men could cross twelve abreast with the water not above their knees if they had a guide ; but that when the tide turned, the water was so deep that no man could pass- that the tide came up twice between night and day, and when it ran out, the river was so low that it was easy to pass either on foot or on horseback ; and that there was no other place where the river could be crossed except at the bridge of Abbeville, which was a strong town, with a garrison of men-at-arms; and the passage was called Blanche-Tache, because the river ran at that place over white marl (chalk) which was so hard that carriages could be driven over it. When the King of England heard these words he was so rejoiced that he would willingly have given him 20,000 ^cus, and he said to him, ' If this is true I will give you 100 4cus and release you and 20 of your friends/ and Eobin Agace answered, ' At the peril of my head it is so, Sire ; but you must command your army to be on the river before the sun is up.' And the King then gave orders accordingly by sound of trumpet.1 " The King of England slept very little on that night, for at midnight he caused the trumpets to sound, and the carts and sumpter horses to be loaded, and at daybreak he left Oise-mont and marched, guided by Gobin, for the river, and shortly after daybreak the army arrived at the ford which was called Blanche- Tache. But the tide at that time was at its full, so that they could not pass, and they had to wait until after ' prime,' when the tide had fallen ; but by this time Godemar du Fay had come up with a great body of men-at-arms. " The King of England then commanded his Marshals to force a passage by the ford, whilst his archers shot their arrows at the French who were in the river and on the opposite bank. The two Marshals advanced, with their banners displayed, to the cry of * Dieu et Saint George ! ' and those that fought in the water were the most gallant (bachelereux), and the best mounted were placed in front. Sir Godemar and his people defended the passage valiantly, and many men were overthrown into the water on both sides, for he had with him gens de e'lite and Genoese who did much harm to the English by their shooting; but the English archers shot their arrows so steadily and compactly it was a marvel to behold them, and after a time the French gave way 1 Before men could read or write this was doubtless the way in which all orders were conveyed. There is an interesting survival of the practice at the accession of a new Sovereign, whicL is still proclaimed by sound of trumpet. CRECY AND CALAIS. 27 and the men-at-arms were able to pass, and the English fought the more desperately because it was known that the French King was following them with more than 100,000 men, and their French scouts had already come up with the English army and carried back the news to the French King. "When Sir Godemar saw the day was lost he fell back as quickly as he could, some of his men taking the road to Abbe- ville and others to St. Riquier ; but few of his men who were on foot could escape, and there was great loss of life amongst them, the English pursuing them for more than a league. But all the English army had not passed before several of the French Esquires and those of the Empire and of the King of Bohemia and Jean de Hainaut fell upon their rear and took much harness and many horses, and killed and wounded many of the English who had been unable to cross the river. " When the news was brought to the French King that the English had passed by the ford of Blanche-Tache and defeated Sir Godemar he was greatly irritated, for he had expected to have overtaken the English, and had moved with all the speed he could from Airaines for that purpose. He therefore halted his army and took counsel with his Marshals, and they informed him that he could not pass the river, as the tide had come up. He there- fore fell back with all his force to Abbeville, where he lay for that night.1 " The King of England having rewarded his guide with a gift of 100 gold nobles and a good horse released him and his companions, and it is not known what became of them afterwards. The King and his army then moved to a place called Noielle, a good town where he proposed to encamp ; but hearing it belonged to the Countess of Aumale, sister to Eobert d'Artois, who was dead, he informed her that out of affection for him no harm should be done to the town or country round it, and he then went on towards La Broye. His Marshals, however, pushed on to Crotoy-on-the- Sea, and took the town and burnt it, capturing several ships and barges full of wine, which belonged to merchants of Xaintonge and Eochelle, and they brought the best of it back to the King's army. " On the morrow, early in the morning, the King moved to Crecy in Ponthieu, and his two Marshals marched by two roads right 1 The English army forced the ford of Blanche-Tage on Thursday the 21th August (St. Bartholomew's Day). 28 CRECY AXD CALAIS. and left of him. One body advanced as far as the gates of Abbe- ville, burning and devastating the country, and then fell back to St. Riquier ; the other reached the town of St. Esprit de Rue, near the sea ; but before noon on that day — i.e. on the Friday — all the three columns had been re-assembled at Crecy. " King Edward, who had learnt by this time that his adversary was following him with all his might, and was desirous to fight with him, now said to his people, ' Let us stand here till we have seen our enemy, for I am now on the inheritance of my mother, which was given to her on her marriage, and I should like to contest my quarrel here with my enemy Philip de Valois.' The King there- fore encamped on the open country, and all his people round him ; and as he knew he had not the eighth part of the force which the King of France possessed, he consulted with his two Marshals, the Earl of Warwick and Sir Godfrey de Harecourt, and likewise with Sir Reginald de Cobham, a valiant and worthy Knight, respecting the place where they should draw up the army. These rode round about considering well the country and its advantages and disadvantages, and the King drew up his army according to their advice, and he had sent his scouts towards Abbeville to find out if the King of France had passed the Somme, but they reported that all was quiet on that side. " The King then gave leave to his people to rest for that day, but to be ready, arrayed for battle, in the early morning, as soon as the trumpets sounded. " On this day — i.e. on the Friday — the King of France remained in Abbeville waiting for his army, which was coming in from all sides ; but he sent his Marshals, the Sire de Saint Venant and Sir Charles de Montmorency out of the town to reconnoitre the country and discover the position of the English. These re- turned to the King about the hour of vespers, and informed him that the English were drawn up at Crecy in the open, and were evidently prepared for battle. On bearing this the King was greatly rejoiced, and said he would fight them on the morrow: and he asked to supper on that evening all the great Princes who were in Abbeville, viz. the King of Bohemia, the Earl of Alen^on his brother, the Earl of Blois his nephew, the Earl of Flanders, the Duke of Lorraine, the Earl of Aucerre, the Earl of Sancerre, the Earl of Harecourt, Sir John de Hainaut, and many others, to all of whom he spoke after supper, saying he hoped they would be friends with one another, and lay aside any feelings of jealousy CRECY AND CALAIS. 29 .or rancour which they might have ; and they promised him they would do so. And the King was still awaiting the arrival of the Earl of Savoy and Sir Louis de Savoy his brother, who were expected with at least 1,000 lances from Savoy and Dauphine, the King having taken them into his pay for three months. " And the King of England invited the Earls and Barons of his army to supper on that evening, and made a great feast, after which he dismissed them to their rest ; and he then entered his oratory and fell on his knees, and prayed devoutly to God that he might come honourably out of his enterprise, and about midnight he lay down and fell asleep. On the morrow he rose early and heard mass with his son the Prince, and took the communion ; and in the same way most of his army confessed themselves and pre- pared for battle. " After mass, the King ordered all his people to arm themselves and take up the positions he had ordered on the previous day, and he parked all his carts and waggons in a wood behind the army, and placed within it all the horses, so that all the men-at- arms and archers remained on foot. " He then divided his army into three divisions (batailles) : In the first of which was the young Prince, his son, and he selected for this division the Earl of Oxford, the Earl of Warwick, Sir Godfrey de Harecourt, Sir Eeginald de Cobham, Sir Thomas de Holand, Sir Richard de Stafford, the Lord de Maune,1 the Lord de la Ware, Sir John Chandos, Sir Bartholomew de Brubbes (Burghersh), Sir Robert de Neville, Sir Thomas Cliford,2 the Lord de Bourchier, the Lord Latimer,3 and several other good Knights and Esquires, whom I cannot name, and there were in this division about 800 men-at-arms and 2,000 archers, and 1,000 Welsh Infantry (brigans).* 1 Probably Lord de Morlej. It could not be Sir Walter Mauny, because he was in Gascony. 2 and 3 i cannot identify this Sir Thomas Clifford. The head of the house of Clifford at this date was a Robert de Clifford, aged 17. Lord Latimer likewise was only 16 years of age at this date. It is not unlikely, however, that these two young lords, as King's wards, were in the expedition, and had been placed in the Prince's Division to win their spurs, like the young Prince. Lord de la Warr was advanced in life, and was not present, but had sent two sons, Roger and John, who were with the Prince. 4 So called from their wearing the " brigandine," or quilted tunic. This description of force was so unruly, and committed so many atrocities, that the word. " Brigand " obtained from them its modern signification. 30 CRECY AND CALAIS. " In the second division there were — The Earl of Northampton, the Earl of Arundel, the Lord de Eos, the Lord de Lucy,1 the Lord of Villebi (Willoughby), the Lord Basset,2 the Lord Saint Aubin, Sir Louis Tulton, the Lord of Multon, the Lord de la Selle,3 and many others, and it contained about 500 men-at-arms and 1,200 archers. " The third division was commanded by the King himself, and contained a large number of excellent Knights and Esquires, and about 700 men-at-arms and 2,000 archers. And after his army had been drawn up, the King mounted his palfrey, a white baton in his hand, and passed slowly from rank to rank, admonishing the Earls, Barons, and Knights to guard well his honour and defend his right, and he spoke so cheerfully to them that if any- one had felt discouraged he must have derived fresh courage on listening to his words or observing his bearing. And after he had thus admonished his army, it was about the hour of ' haute tierce! and he ordered all his men to -take their midday meal, as was usual, and they sat down, their bassinets and bows in front of them, so that they might be refreshed when the enemy arrived." To leave Froissart for a while. The route followed by the English army, after leaving the ford of Blanche-Tage, ascended by a gradual rise to the forest of Crecy, and it was here that Edward resolved to await the French. In this resolution he was without doubt guided by military considerations, and not by the somewhat inept reasons given by Froissart — that he had now arrived in his mother's territory. The forest, like all others of this period, would be more or less open, but would certainly contain much scrub and gorse, which would be a serious impediment to the movement of mounted men. His flanks could thus be readily secured and could be strengthened by felling trees and cutting ditches. On 1 The Lords de Eos and Lucy were Northern lords, and as they were at Neville's Cross, it is not probab'e that they were at Crecy j but they certainly joined the King afterwards at Calais. 2 Probably Ralph Basset of Weldon ; Ealph Basset of Drayfon was only 11 years of age at this date. Ralph Basset of Sapcote was with the Prince. 3 Probably Robert Lord Scales and not Lascelles as suggested by some of the commentators on Froissart; but the Records shew that Froissart has made many mistakes in names and also in his allotment of the forces at Crecy. Sir Louis de Tulton may be either Sir William de Felton or Sir William de Trussel, who were in the King's Division. The lord of Million at this date was William Lord Dacre, but lie was not at Crecy.

The letters of Michael de Northburgh, the King's Clerk, take up the narrative of the expedition from the arrival of the English at Poissy on the Seine. He writes : " Our lord the King came to the town of Poissy on the vi<>il of the Assumption of Our Lady (14 August), and found a bridge over the River Seine which had been destroyed, but he remained there until it had been restored. During the rebuilding of the Bridge the enemy's men-at-arms arrived in great numbers with the ' communes ' of the country and of Amiens well armed. The Earl of Northampton and his people attacked them and killed more than 500, and at another time our people crossed the river, as soon as the bridge had been remade, and killed a great, number of the communaute of Paris and France, which formed part of the army of the King of France, without much loss on our side. And on the morrow of the Assumption (16th August) the King crossed the river and moved towards Poys, which is a strong town surrounded by a wall and with a castle which was held by the enemy ; and when the advanced guard and the second guard had passed the town, the rear guard assaulted the town and took it, and the enemy lost more than 300 men-at-arms ; and on the following day the Earl of Suffolk and the Lord Despencer attacked the ' commune ' of the country which had been collected, and killed more than 200 of them and took 60 prisoners of quality .(gentilslwmme$\ and then the army moved to Grauntvillers. Whilst they were encamped there the advanced guard descried some men-at-arms of the household of the King of Bohemia and charged them, but our people were defeated. Thanks however to God, the Earl of Northampton came up and rescued them, so that none of them were taken or killed except Thomas Talbot ; and the Earl chased the enemy to within eleven leagues of Amyas (Amiens) and took prisoners eight men-at- CRECY AND CALAIS. 41 arms and killed twelve : the remainder were well mounted, and fled to Amiens. The King then moved towards Pountif (Ponthieu) on the day of St. Bartholomew (24th August), and reached the Kiver Somme between the sea and Abbeville. The King of France had ordered 500 men-at-arms and 3,000 of the ' commune ' to guard the passage of the river, but thanks be to God, the King of England crossed the river at a place where no man had passed before, without losing any of his people, and fought the enemy, and killed more than 2,000 (? 200) men-at-arms and 3,000 of the 'commune,' who had disputed the passage, and chased the remainder as far the gates of Abbeville, taking prisoners a great many Knights and Esquires. And on the same day Sir Hugh le Despencer took the town of Crotoie, and he and his people killed there 400 men-at-arms and found a plentiful supply of food. On that night the King of England encamped in the Forest of Cressy, upon the river itself, because the French army was following him on the other side of the river; but they would not attempt to force the passage against us, and returned to Abbeville. On the following Friday the King of England encamped in the Forest of Cressy, and on the Saturday he moved nearer Cressy, and the scouts (les discoverers) of the King discovered the King of France, who was advancing with four great columns (en quatre grosses batailles). A little before the hour of vespers they attacked us ' en playne champ,' and the battle was very stubborn (tres fort) and lasted a long time, for the enemy bore themselves very nobly. Thanks however to God, our enemy was completely defeated, and the King of France fled from the field ; and there were killed the King of Beaume (Bohemia), the Duke of Loreigne (Lorraine), the Earl of Alesoun (Alengon), the Earl of Flaundres, the Earl of Bloys, the Earl of Harecourt and his two sons, the Earl Damaiie (Aumarle), the Earl of Nanvers (Nevers) and his brother, the Lord of Trouard, the Archbishop of Niemes (Nismes), the Archbishop of Sauntz ; the Chief Prior of the Hospitallers of France, the Count of Savoye, the Lord of Morles, the Lord of Guyes, the Lord of St. Vinaunt, the Lord of Eosingburgh, six Earls of Germany, and a great number of other Earls, Barons, and Lords whose names are not yet known.1 Phelippe de Valois and the Marquis, who is called the Elitz (the 1 A list of the principal persons killed at Crecy and on the following day on tlie Frenoh side will b,e found in the notes to G-uizot's Froissart.

The number of men-at-arms who were killed besides the ' commune/ or men on foot, amounts to 1,042. These have been counted. And on that night the King of England and his army remained on the field under arms. On the following morning, before the sun was up, there came against us another strong column (un aultre lataille graunt et fort), and the Earls of Northampton, and Norfolk and Warwick advanced against them and defeated them, and took and killed a great many Knights and Esquires, and killed at least 2,000 of them, and pursued them for three leagues. And that night the King encamped at Cressy, and in the morning he moved towards Boloygrie (Boulogne), and during his march he took the town of Estaples, and from there he moved toward Caleys. So far as I can understand, his purpose is to besiege the town of Caleys, and for that reason he has sent to you for provisions, to be supplied as early as possible, for from the time we left Caame (Caec) we have lived upon the country with great labour and loss to our people ; thanks to God, however, we have never run short (nous n'avouns nul ddfaute). But now we are in such plight that it is necessary to supply us with provisions to some extent (en partie). Written before Caleys the 4th day of September." Froissart's account of the battle is as follows : — " On Saturday at the break of day the King of France heard mass within the Abbey of St. Pierre at Abbeville where he was lodged, and with him were the King of Bohemia, the Earl of Alenc,on, the Earl of Blois, the Earl of Flanders, and all the great Lords who were at Abbeville. After the sun was up the King issued from the town with a marvellous large force of men-at-arms, and he was accompanied by the King of Bohemia and the Lord John of Hainault. After they had left the town for two leagues, and were approaching the enemy, the King was told by those round him that he would do well to form his order of battle, and of King Philip; Guy Earl of Blois, Louis Earl of Flanders, Ralph Duke of Lorraine, the nephew of King Philip ; James son of the Dauphin of Vienne, Henry Earl of Vaudemont, the Earls of Hareourt, Auniarle, St. Paul, Auxerre, Sancerre, de Saltns ; the Lord of Bastelberg, and seven other Lords of Germany who were of the King of Bohemia's retinue ; Charles G-rimaldi, and Antony Doria of Genoa. The total loss was, besides the Earls, etc. mentioned above, 24 Bannerets, 1,200 Knights, 1,500 Esquires, 4,000 archers on horseback, and the commonalty, who were not counted. CRECY AND CALAIS. 43 allow the men on foot to go in front, so that they should not be trodden down by the horsemen, and also send forward three or four Knights to discover the position of the enemy. The King therefore sent four Knights on this service, viz. Le Moine de Basele, the Lord of Noyers, the Lord of Beaujeu, and the Lord of Aubigny. These came up quite close to the English, who per- ceived the purpose for which they had come ; but they took no notice of them, and allowed them to return in peace. They then returned to the King, who demanded what news they brought. They looked at one another without responding, for none of them wished to take the word from his comrades, and each one said to the other, ' Sir, speak to the King, for I won't speak before you.' The King then commanded Le Moine de Basele to speak, for he was well known to be one of the most chivalrous and valiant Knights of the day, and one who had seen most service (qui avoit plus travailld de son corps'). He was one of the Knights of the King of Bohemia. ' Sire,' said Le Moine de Basele, ' I will speak if you wish it ; we have ridden and observed well the English, and you should know that they are drawn up in good array in three columns, and there is no sign that they mean to retire. I would therefore recommend you to order all your people to halt for the remainder of the day, for before the last of them can come up and be placed in order of battle it will be very late, and your men will be tired, whilst your enemy will be fresh : and you may be quite certain that they mean to wait for you where they are at present. "The King adopted this advice, and his two Marshals rode away, one to the front and the other to the rear, commanding the Banners to halt by order of the King, calling out ' Arretez bannieres, de pas le Eoi au nom de Dieu et Monseigneur Saint Denis ! ' Those who were in front halted according to these orders ; but those who were behind rode on, saying they would not stop till they were as far in front as the others. When those in advance saw that the others were moving up, they also rode on, so that by their pride and bombast everything was thrown into confusion — every one wishing to surpass his neighbour : nor had the King and his Marshals any authority over the army, for it contained many great Lords, each of whom wished to make a display of his power and magnificence. " And so they rode on, without array or order, until they came near their enemy, and then they saw their mistake, and that it would have been better for them to have obeyed orders : for when they 44 CRECY AND CALAIS. came in presence of the enemy, those in front fell back in such disorder that those behind thought they had been fighting and had been defeated ; and at this time there was such a large number of the common people (commimautd) in the field that the roads between Abbeville and Cressy were quite covered with them ; and when they were still three leagues off these people drew their swords, crying out ' A la mort, a la mort ! ' and at this time they could have seen nothing. " No one who was not present that day with the French could imagine their bad array and disorder. What I know of it I have gathered from the English, and from the people who were with the Lord John of Hainaut, who was close to the King of France all the time. " The English, who were lying down, drawn up in three columns, when they saw the French approach, rose up in good order, without showing any fear, the Prince's column being in front. Their archers were formed in the manner of a harrow (kerse), the men-at-arms behind them. The second column, under the Earls of Northampton and Arundell, was drawn up on one wing ready to support the Prince if it was necessary. The sight of the English made King Philip furious, for he hated them, and he ordered his Marshals to send the Genoese forward and begin the battle. There were nearly lo^OO1 of these, but they were in no moocl for fighting, for they were dropping with fatigue, having marched on foot more that 6 leagues, under arms and carrying their arbalists. They therefore sent and told their Constables that they were not in a condition to perform any warlike exploit (defaire grand exploit de guerre). These words wrere carried to the Earl of Alenc^on, who flew into a passion and said, ' Let us charge this rabble which fails when it is wanted ' (' On se doit, l)ien charger cette ribaudaille qui faillent au besoin'). " Whilst this was going on, a heavy storm of rain descended from heaven, with a terrible thunder and lightning, after which the sky cleared and the sun shone brightly. But the French had the sun in their eyes, whilst it was behind the English. When the Genoese had been collected, and they neared their enemies, they began to shout with loud cries in order to frighten them, but the English remained quiet, without moving a step. Then the Genoese gave another loud shout and advanced a short distance, but still the English made no sign. Then the Genoese shouted again and 1 Other accounts say G,000, and this is more lilelv to be the correct number. CRECY AND CALAIS. 45 came nearer, and began to shoot. The English now stepped for- ward and shot their arrows, which fell so thickly upon the Genoese that it resembled a snow storm. These had never met such archers as those of England ; and when they felt their arrows piercing heads and arms and faces they were so discomfited that many of them cut the cords of their bows, and others threw them down and took to flight. " Between them, however, and the French there was a great hedge of men-at-arms, splendidly clad and mounted, who had been observing their behaviour ; so that when they wished to retire they could not do so. And the King of France, with great maladresse, when he saw what had happened, called out to his people to kill all that rabble which stopped the way without any reason. And then you saw men-at-arms amongst them striking them with their weapons, so that many of them were thrown down and were unable to rise again owing to the crush of horses, and in this way began the battle between the Broye and Cressy in Ponthieu on that Saturday at the hour of Vespers. " The valiant and courteous King of Bohemia, who was called Sir John de Lucembourc — for he was the son of the Emperor Henry of Lucembourc — heard from his people that the battle had com- mented, for he could scarcely see, being nearly blind,1 and he asked the Knights near him how the action was proceeding. These told him the truth, and said, ' Monseigneur, it is in this way : All the Genoese have been defeated, and the King has commanded his men to kill them, and there is such a confusion from their stumbling and falling amongst the horses that the road is blocked.' He then asked after his son the King of Germany, saying, 'Where is Monsieur Charles, my son ? ' and they answered, ' We don't know, Monseigneur, but we think he is fighting in another part of the field.' ' Then, my Lords,' he said, 'you are my vassals and my friends and companions, I pray you to take me somewhere where I can strike a blow'; and those about him who cared much for his honour 1 John de Luxembourgli had been a great warrior and had lost an eye ; but there is no reason to believe he was so blind as stated by Froissart. His cognizance, the three feathers, and his motto " Ich dien," as is well known, were adopted by Edward, Prince of Wales, as a memorial of a great victory, and have been handed down to the present time. The motto was no doubt adopted in allusion to his having taken service under the French King, and according to the fashion of the day would be embroidered upon the housings of his horse. As he fell in front of the Prince's Division the caparisons of his horse were probably brought to the Prince after the battle. 46 CHECY AND CALAIS. and their own reputation did as he wished. And Le Moyne de Basele took the bridle of his horse, and there were with him many brave Knights of the County of Lucembourg, who, in order that they might not lose sight of him in the crush, fastened the reins of their horses together, and in this way they advanced upon their enemy. " To tell the truth, however, notwithstanding the great number of brave men-at-arms that the King of France had on the ground, there were very few feats of arms performed by them, for the battle commenced late in the day, and the French were greatly fatigued when they arrived. Nevertheless, to their honour they continued to push on, preferring death to a disgraceful flight, and amongst them there were the Earls of Alenc^on, Blois, Harecourt Saint Pol, Namur, d'Aucerre, d'Aumarle, Sancerre, Salebruche, and Counts and Barons and Knights without number. And there was also Messire Charles de Behaigne (Bohemia), who was called the King of Germany, and bore the arms of Germany; but when he saw how badly the affair was going for them he departed, but in what way I am ignorant. This was not so with the good King his father, for he threw himself upon his enemies and fought so valiantly — as did also all those who were with him — that they were all found lying together on the morrow round their Lord, with their horses tied together. " You can imagine the anguish of mind with which the King of France saw his men thus defeated and overthrown one upon another by a mere handful of men such as the English had, and he asked Messire Jean of Hainaut, who was near him, what he had better do, Messire Jean answered him, that he saw no other course open to him but to withdraw and seek some place of safety, for the battle could not be recovered. The King made no answer at that time, but advanced much nearer the enemy with a view of supporting his brother, the Earl of Alenqon, whose banners he could see on a slight rise of the ground; but the crush was so great he could not pass through the great hedge of archers and men-at- arms in .front of him. On that morning King Philip had given to the Lord John of Hainaut a black courser, very powerful and handsome, and which the Lord John had lent to Sir Thierry of Senseilles to carry his Banner ; so that it happened that the Knight mounted on this horse, bearing the banner of John de Hainaut before him, penetrated through the ranks of the English, but in attempting to retire, the horse stumbled and fell into a ditch, for it CRECY AND CALAIS. 47 wa8 badly wounded. He would have been killed for a certainty if his page on his courser had not kept up with him, and found him lying so that he could not move. There was nothing to prevent him rising except his horse, for the English did not leave their ranks to take prisoners or attack their enemies. The page therefore got off his horse and relieved his lord and remounted him on his horse, but it will be seen that the Sire de Senseilles was not able to retire by the way he had advanced. " This battle between the Broye and Cressy was very murderous and horrible, and no doubly many great feats of arms were performed which never came to light, for when the battle began it was already very late in the day. This injured the French more than anything else, for many men-at-arms, Knights, and Squires lost their Lords during the night, and wandered about the field meeting with the English at a great disadvantage, and were nearly all killed, for none were ransomed or granted quarter, according to an order given in the morning because of the great number of the enemy.1 The Count Louis de Blois, nephew of King Philip and of the Count d'Alenc,on, fought very valiantly with his people, as did likewise the Duke of Lorraine ; and it was said by many that if the battle had commenced in the morning it might have been recovered, for there were amongst the French many great exploits of arms. There were many French Knights and Squires, as well as others of Germany and Savoy, who by force of arms broke the array of the English archers, and reached the English men-at-arms and fought valiantly with them, sword in hand, and then there took place many great achievements (appertises d'armes) and feats of arms, for on the side of the English there were many good Knights, such as Lord Eeginald de Cobham and Sir John Chandos and others whom I cannot name, for round the Prince was assembled all the flower of the chivalry of England (toute la fleur de chevalerie d' Angleterre). And at this time the Earls of Northampton and Arundel, who commanded the second column, moved up to support the column of the Prince, and the danger appeared so great to those who surrounded the Prince that they sent a Knight from their ranks to the King of England, who was on a small hill watching the battle from a windmill, to ask for aid. 1 This is a mistake of Froissart. The order was, that the English should not break their ranks in order to take prisoners in the presence of such superior numbers of the enemy. See the English Chronicles. 48 CIIECY AND CALAIS. "And the Knight, when ho reached the King, said, 'Monseigneur, the Earls of Warwick and Kenfort1 and the Lord Begin aid de Cobham who are with the Prince your son, are very hard pressed by the French, and are fighting with all their might, and pray that you will come to their assistance, for if the efforts now made by the enemy increase in force, they doubt whether they can withstand them.' The King then spoke, and asked the Knight, who was called Sir Thomas de Norwich, ' Sir Thomas, is my son dead, or thrown down (aterrd), or wounded?' 'No, Monseigneur,' he answered, ' if it please God ; but he is very hard pressed (en dur parte d'armes) and would be very glad of your assistance.' ' Monsieur Thomas,' said the King, ' go back to him and to -those who have sent you and tell them, from me, that they must not send to me for help so long as my son is alive, and tell them that they must permit the boy to win his spurs (qu'ils laissent a I' enfant gagner ses eperons), for I wish, if the day is won, that the honour should belong to him and to those in whose charge I have placed him.' The Knight then went back to the Lords and told them what the King had said, and the King's answer added fresh courage to them, and there were grand feats of arms performed, as is evident, for they finally held their ground. " Sir Godfrey de Harecourt, who was with the Prince, would willingly have saved his brother the Count d'Harcourt, for he had been told by some of the English that they had seen his banner, and that he was fighting with his people against the English ; but he could not arrive in time, and the Count was lying dead on the field, as was also the Count d'Aumarle his nephew. In another part of the field the Counts of Alencon and Flanders fought valiantly, each under his banner and with his own people, but they could not resist the power of the English, and they were both killed and a number of Knights and Esquires with them. The Count Louis de Blois and the Duke of Lorraine his ' serourge ' fought valiantly with their people and banners ; but their valour availed them nothing, for they were surrounded by a number of English and Welshmen, who gave them no quarter, and they and all who were with them fell on the field: likewise the Counts d'Aucerre and St. Pol, and so many others, that it would make a wonderful tale. 1 Kenfort is a mistake for Oxford. Oxford was always written at this date as Oxenford, and Ox might easily be mistaken for a capital K in ancient writing. CRECY AND CALAIS. 49 " The defeat and loss of the French was so great owing to the number of Dukes, Counts, Barons, and Knights which were left on the field, that the Kingdom itself was greatly enfeebled by the loss of honour, reputation, and power : and it should be noted that if the English had pursued their enemy as they did afterwards at Poitiers, many more would have been killed or taken, including the King of France ; but it was not so, for on the Saturday none of the English left their ranks in pursuit of the French, and this saved the King of France, for he remained on the field until quite late in the day, and all that time he had not more than sixty men with him. The Lord John of Hainault then took the King's bridle (he had already mounted him on a second horse, the King's courser having been killed by an arrow) and said to him, ' Sire, it is time to go away ; you have lost this time, but you may win another time, and by staying longer you will lose everything,' and he dragged him away almost by force. And on that day, I should inform you, the English archers brought a great accession of strength to their side (port&rent grand confort a leur partie), and many said that the work had been done by their fire. Although there were many valiant Knights on their side who fought hand to hand and performed grand feats of arms, it must be acknow- ledged that the archers had a great effect on the battle, for at the beginning of it their fire discomfited the Genoese ; and a great number of men-at-arms, splendidly arrayed and mounted, were discomfited in their turn by the Genoese, who stumbled and fell in such a way that the horses and men were overthrown and unable to recover themselves. And amongst the English there were many who pillaged and robbed — Welsh and Cornishmen^ who followed in the wake of the men-at-arms and archers, and who carried long knives, and killed the French men-at-arms with- out mercy, however great the rank of the man might be. In this way many were murdered on that evening, which was a great pity, and for which the King of England was afterwards very angry, saying they ought to have been held to ransom.1 " When night fell, and the English could no longer hear any sound, or see any banner or ensign, they lighted a large number 1 All these atrocities seem to hare been committed by the Welsh, under cover of a thick mist which bad succeeded the thunderstorm. This could not be pre. rented, as the English men-at-arms were not allowed to leave their ranks. The object of the Welshmen was doubtless plunder, and to strip the wounded Knights of their rich vestments and armour. E 50 CRECY AND CALAIS. of faggots and torches, for there was a thick fog. And then King Edward came down and embraced his son, saying, ' My good son, Heaven grant yo.u may persevere as you have begun : you have acquitted yourself nobly by the way you held your ground.' <' On the morning of Sunday there was still a great mist, so that you could scarce see more than an acre of ground round you ; but the King sent out 500 men-at-arms and 2,000 archers to ride round (pour chevaucher) and find out if they could discover any French ; and on that morning the burgesses (commiwautt) of Eouen and Beauvais had left Abbeville and St. Eiquier knowing nothing of the defeat of the French, so that when they came across the English they thought at first that they were Frenchmen. The English charged amongst them, and the French were dispersed, and more than 7,000 of them were killed. If it had been clear not a man of the French would have escaped. Shortly after this, coming by another route, the English met the Archbishop of Eouen and the Grand Prior of France, who knew nothing of the defeat of the French, and had heard that the King would not fight before the Sunday. These also believed that the English whom they met were of their party ; but when the English charged them there was a fierce fight between them and the English, for these two Lords had with them many good men-at-arms ; but in the end they were defeated, and few of them escaped. And I have been told that of the • communauU' and men on foot of the cities and towns of France, quite four times as many were killed on that Sunday morning as fell in the battle of Saturday. " On the Sunday, as the King came out after hearing mass, the men-at-arms and archers returned from their expedition, and recounted to the King what they had seen and done, and that there were no other enemies in the vicinity. The King then ordered that the dead should be examined in order to know what Lords were amongst them. Two brave Knights were told off for this duty, and they took with them three heralds to be able to recognise their arms and two clerks to write down and register their names. The two Knights were Sir Eeginald de Cobehen (Cobham) and Sir Eichard de Staofort (Stafford). They departed, therefore, on this mission, and were amazed at the number of the dead which they found. They searched the field all that day until the hour of vespers, and in the evening, when the King was sitting down to supper, they returned and made a true report of what they had seen. They told the King that they had found 11 Princes CEECY AND CALAIS. 51 amongst the slain, 80 Bannerets, 1,200 Knights, and nearly 30,000 others.1 The King then eulogised the Prince his son, and all the Lords who were with him, for the ' belle journe'e,' which they had afforded him, having defeated their enemy with such a handful of men ; but he greatly regretted the death of the brave King of Behaigne (Bohemia) and those who were with him, of whom he spoke with much esteem and approbation. " On the Monday the English were ordered to move on, but out of grace and pity the King of England directed that all the bodies of the great Lords should be conveyed to a neighbour- ing monastery called Montenay (Maintenay) and be buried in consecrated ground, and he told the people of the country that there would be a truce of three days in order that they might search the field of Crecy and bury the bodies. He then departed towards Montreuil on the Sea, and his Marshals moved towards Hesdin and burned Waubain and Serain, but they were unable to take the castle, because it was too strong and well guarded. On this Monday the army encamped on the river of Hesdin (the Canche) 011 the side towards Blangis, and on the morrow they moved towards Boulogne, burning on their way the towns of St. Josse and Neufchatel. Afterwards they burned Estaples and Eue, and, passing between the woods of Boulogne and the Forest of Hardelo, they came to the large town of Wissant. At this place the King and Prince and all the army rested for one day, and on the Thursday they departed and came to the strong town of Calais."2 The foregoing account of the battle by Froissart shews clearly enough the cause of the defeat of the French, but it does not explain the cause of their heavy loss of men, which at first sight appears incomprehensible if the English never left their ranks to pursue the enemy. The probability is, that the English had taken up a position on ground which was difficult of access for mounted men, and had cut trenches in front of their archers, leaving the sides perpendicular,3 A horseman overthrown on such ground as this, with the crush of men behind him and the Genoese in front 1 This latter figure is, of course, an absurd exaggeration, as the bodies could not hare been counted. 2 This would be the 31st August, but, according to Michael de Northburgh, the King did not reach Calais till the 3rd September, 3 See, for instance, Froissart's account of the narrow escape of the Sire de Sensielles at p. 46. E 2 52 CKECY AND CALAIS. of him attempting to retire, would have no chance of escape, and it speaks well for the gallantry of the French under the Count d'Alen^on that under such circumstances they should have dis- persed the English archers and reached the English men-at-arms at all. This could not have been done so long as the English were raining thick nights of arrows upon them ; but a period always arrived in a battle when the archers had shot away all their arrows, and this would give the opportunity to the French men-at- arms. The great effect of the English archer was owing to the rapidity of his fire ; but this was necessarily accompanied by a corresponding expenditure of ammunition, and it would be ex- tremely difficult to serve out fresh sheaves of arrows during an engagement. Sismondi, quoting Villani, gives the strength of the French army at 8,000 men-at-arms and 60,000 infantry. This is probably an exaggeration : but the question is really of little importance; for if an army cannot deploy or take up a position, numbers are only an impediment and a source of confusion. The French army, when it found itself in presence of the English, was in a long column of march, and, in place of halting and deploying, moved on to attack their enemy, who was drawn up in battle array. Each column as it moved on was followed by another, like so many flocks of sheep. When the onward move- ment, therefore, was checked by the English archers and the rout of the Genoese, the French men-at-arms could not extricate themselves from the crush, and those in rear, knowing nothing of what was passing in front, pushed on, increasing the loss and confusion at every step. The English men-at-arms and archers kept their ranks, according to the order of the King; but the undisciplined Welshmen could not be kept under control when they witnessed the distress and»confusion in the French ranks, and rushing in amongst the men-at-arms as they lay helpless on the ground, encumbered by their heavy armour and wounded horses, killed hundreds of them before they could be restrained. It was probably a wise precaution on the part of the English King, in presence of such superior numbers of the enemy, to issue an order that none of his men should leave their ranks to make prisoners, and it could not be foreseen that advantage would be taken of this order by the lawless rabble of his army to commit the atrocities which have cast so dark a shade over the lustre of a great victory. CRECY AND CALAIS. 53 THE SIEGE OF CALAIS. The letters of Michael de JSTorthburgh cease after the battle of Crecy, und the authorities for the rest of the campaign are Duchesne, Knighton, Walsingham, and Froissart. The City of Calais, though not of great extent, was an important market town, and strongly fortified, owing its strength chiefly to its situation on the marshes of Artois. It was enclosed by a double wall with wet ditches, and contained four detached castles or Bastides, and a harbour where a considerable number of the small class of vessel then in use could take shelter. On the west side it was further protected by an arm of the sea, which was passable only by a bridge called by the English the Newland Bridge, but of which the French name was Neuillet or Nieulay. This was defended by one of the Castles. The town contained a large garrison of men-at-arms and archers, who were under command of John de Vienne, a Knight of Burgundy. Sir John de Montgomery, the English Admiral of the South, arrived at Calais at the same time as the King with a numerous fleet, and completed the investment of the place. The siege offers few military incidents, for it lapsed very shortly into a simple blockade. An attempt was made to breach a portion of the walls by heavy missiles thrown by machinery, but it failed through the difficulty of obtaining a secure foundation for the heavy apparatus requisite for the purpose. As soon as it became evident that the English had resolved to reduce the place by famine, John de Vienne drove out of it all the useless mouths, and 1,700 old men, women, and children were left to starve on the neutral ground between the two armies. After some time King Edward took pity on these people, and allowed them to pass through his lines, providing them with food and money. The English made daily excursions in search of provisions, scouring the country for miles around, even as far as the gates of Ardres, St. Omer, and Boulogne. Knighton states that on one occasion the Earl of Warwick, hearing that a great fair was to be held at Terouenne, sallied out with a detachment of men-at-arms arid archers; and after defeating the Bishop of Terouenne, who had assembled a force to protect the fair, carried away all the mer- 64 CRECY AND CALAIS. chandize and goods in carts or upon horses to the camp before Calais. As the winter came on, the English constructed huts for them- selves, but were unable to provide shelter for their horses, and the greater number of these died from exposure to the weather and the want of proper food. The army likewise suffered so much from desertion, deaths, and invaliding that the King was forced to summon the Earl of Lancaster1 and many other English and Irish lords to come to his assistance, and in February, 1347, issued new commissions of array in all the English Counties, and required the Welsh lords to provide a fresh force of Welshmen to the same number as before. Another set of Commissioners were appointed at the same time to array archers in every County, the total number of which were to be 3,680. In fact, the force raised under these commissions virtually amounted to a new arrny, nearly as numerous as that with which the King had originally set out. The King's available force was further reduced by the necessity of succouring the Duchess of Brittany, who was hard pressed by her rivalj Charles de Bloisi Early in the year the King sent to Brittany Sir Thomas Dagworth, and Sir John de Hardeshull at the head of 100 men-at-arms and 400 archers. This force, assisted by the Bretons, surprised Charles at the siege of Eoche d'Arien on the 20th June, and took him prisoner, with several other men of note amongst his party. Shortly after Easter an attempt was made by the French to throw supplies into Calais by sea, but it was frustrated by Edward's fleet, and all the provisions fell into the hands of the English. Single ships, however, were able at times to break through the blockade) and the French obtained some provisions by these means : the pressure of famine^ however, began to be felt by the garrison at this date, and the Governor thrust out of the town 400 more of the poorer inhabitants who had made no provision for themselves, and were useless for the defence of the place. King Edward, considering that his former good nature had been imposed upon, refused to allow these unfortunate people to pass through his lines, and they all perished miserably of starvation in the face of the garrison. These facts must be borne in mind when the 1 The French forces had heen withdrawn from the south of France after the battle of Crecy, and the Earl of Lancaster, after taking several towns on the frontier and leaving garrisons in them, left for Bordeaux when the winter set in, and afterwards returned to England. CRECY AND CALAIS. 55 easy terms subsequently offered to the garrison come under consideration. About Whitsuntide King Philip ordered a large force to be concentrated at Amiens in order to relieve the town. The levies were slow in responding to his call, and it was not until July that he was able to take the field. These preparations, however^ alarmed the English King ; and on the 14th May urgent writs were issued to the Earls of Oxford and Pembroke and 30 other Bannerets and Knights who were in England purchasing horses and renewing their equipments, directing them to join the King with all speed and without waiting for their horses, the French having assembled a large army to attack him.1 About this time Sir Eobert de Namur joined King Edward with 300 men-at-arms from Flanders. On the 18th July the Earl of Lancaster issued out of the English Camp with 800 men-at-arms and 2,000 archers, but fell back on hearing of the approach of the French army under King Philip. He brought back with him, however, large numbers of sheep and oxen, which had been collected for the use of the French forces. The French King advanced with his army as far as San Gatte> between Calais and Wissant, when, finding the English position to be impregnable on all sides, he sent a message of defiance to Edward offering to fight him on the 2nd August if he would come out of his intrenchments. This offer was naturally declined by the English King, for, besides the military impolicy of the step, his army by this time had become so sickly it is very doubtful whether it was in a condition to fight a battle. His army was, in fact, decimated by dysentery, a disease which invariably breaks out in long-standing camps owing to the neglect of sanitary laws and the consequent pollution of the drinking water* 1 See the French Eoll of 21 Ed* III. The Bannerets were — John Lord Fitz- Walter, Hugh Lord le Despencer, Sir Walter de Mauny* James Lord Audeley, Sir John de Molines, Sir Roger de Beauchamp, Robert Lord Bourchier, Sir Hugh de Hastings, Sir John de Lisle, John Lord Grey de Ruthyn, John Lord Grey of Codnor, Sir John de Norwich, Reginald Lord Cobham, Robert Lord Scales, Robert Lord Colville, William Lord Deyncourt, Robert Lord Morley, Thomas Lord Ughtred, Sir John de Verdon, and Robert Lord Ferars. The Knights were — Sir John de Montagu, Sir John de Colville, Sir Richard de la Yache, Sir Guy de Brian, Sir Thomas de Holand, Sir Herbert de St. Quintin, Sir Thomas de Haukestone, Sir John de Bohun of Midhurst, Sir Giles de Beauchanip, and Sir John de Wodhull. 56 CEECY AND CALAIS. King Philip, despairing of relieving the town, set fire to his tents and fell back to Amiens, where he disbanded his army. The Earls of Lancaster and Northampton followed the retreating French, and took many prisoners, together with carts, and horses, and provisions. Upon the retirement of the French army, the Captain of Calais offered to parley, and the King sent to him Sir Walter Mauny and Sir Ralph Basset of Sapcote. John de Yienne then offered to surrender on condition that the lives of the garrison and towns- people should be spared and they should be permitted to leave with their clothing and portable property. The envoys informed him they could accept nothing but an unconditional surrender, but would report to the King what he had said to them. According to the law and practice of war at this period the lives of the garrison were forfeited. And this is only logical ; for if a beleagured garrison can resist to the last, causing an enormous loss to the besiegers, and then escape with their lives, they play the game of " Heads I win and tails you lose." They really risk nothing at all by their resistance, and before the invention of artillery their losses were infinitesimal. John de Vienne pro- bably urged in his favour that he could not surrender with honour so long as there was a chance of the place being relieved, and that he had surrendered immediately the French King had decamped. Edward III, in whose honour it may be said that he was never guilty of a harsh or cruel action, even under great provocation, then admitted all the garrison and townspeople to mercy except- ing six of the chief burgesses, who were to come to him in their shirts, with halters round their necks, and deliver up to him the keys of the fortress. The story of Eustace de St. Pierre and his five companions is too well known to make it worth recapitulating. It never could have been the intention of Edward to hang six of the townspeople who could have had no hand or voice in the prolonged resistance of the place, and allow John de Vienne and the garrison to escape with their lives, and the scene which followed, when the Queen fell upon her knees and begged for mercy for them, was probably arranged beforehand. John de Vienne appeared before the King at the same time as Eustace de St. Pierre and gave up his sword. The date of the surrender was the 4th August. The King returned to England on the 14th October. CRECY AND CALAIS. 57 Calais remained in possession of the English for more than 200 years, and this was the period of its greatest prosperity. No merchandize could be exported from England to the Continent except through the gates of Calais, and the cost of the garrison was a first charge upon the duties imposed upon this commerce. In this way a considerable garrison was maintained, which played an important part in subsequent wars. Upon the accession of the Tudor Dynasty a new era was inaugurated. These sovereigns, who thought more of filling their private coffers than the interest of the State, were not likely to lose sight of so fruitful a source of income as the Calais customs. The latter were accordingly ordered to be paid over to the Treasurer of the Household, the King under- taking the cost of maintaining the garrison. After this the garrison soon dwindled to a mere handful of men, and the Duke of Guise took the place by surprise on the 5th January, 1558-59. It is difficult to estimate what the loss to England has been from a military point of view by the recapture of Calais by the French ; but it may safely be said that so long as we possessed it, no invasion of this country was possible before the invention of steam, and that, with Calais in our possession, our wars with France would have assumed a very different complexion. If the fortifications had been maintained and extended to meet the improvements in artillery the French could not have retaken it so long as we held the command of the sea; and in order to mask it, they must have maintained a very large force in inactivity, which would have been useless for any other purpose. Moreover, as neither Louis Quartorze nor Napoleon would have acquiesced in our retention of the place — in the face of their great military power — they would have expended their means in attempts to recover it, and the successive sieges of Calais would have been as famous in history as the Siege of Gibraltar, and would have terminated in all probability in the same manner.1 G. W. 1 If a place cannot be invested and is surrounded by wet ditches which can be emptied and filled at pleasure by means of sluices which are under the control of the garrison, who have likewise the command of a considerable head of water afforded by the rise and fall of the tide, most military engineers would consider such a place to be impregnable. 58 CRECY AND CALAIS.

This MS. is indexed at the College of Arms as 2, M. 16. From the character of the handwriting, it appears to date from the commencement of the sixteenth century. It has clearly been compiled, in the first instance, from the accounts of Walter de Wetewang, but the arms of all the Earls, Bannerets, and Knights have been added in blazon. It is a valuable document, as it supplies us with the names of all the Earls present at the dege of Gala's and of the Bannerets and Knights of the King's Household at the same date. It will bs seen, however, that it does not give us the names of the Bannerets who wrere in the retinues of the Prince of Wales, or of the Earls or Barons, and these form more than one-half of the total number who were present. The missing Bannerets are as follows : — In the retinue of the Prince of Wales 11 In that of the Earl of Lancaster .... .... .... 11 With the Earl of Northampton.... .... .... .... 2 With the Earl of Warwick 3 With the Earl of Arundel 3 With the Earl of Suffolk 1 With the Earl of Clinton 2 With the Earl of Oxford 1 With the Earl of Pembroke 1 With the Earl of Kildare 1 With the Bishop of Durham 3 With Lord le Despencer 2 With Lord Stafford 2 With Lord Burghersshe .... .... .... .... .... 1 With Lord Ponynges 1 Total 45 No attempt has hitherto been made to discover these names, and it is possible I may have made some mistakes, but it will be seen that, so far as mere numbers are concerned, the list given at pages 5 and 6 corresponds very closely with Wetewang's account. My authority for classifying the lords named in the above list as Bannerets is as follows : — 1st. All Barons served as Bannerets, inasmuch as they displayed their own banners in war. and had knights in their train. After an inspection of 192 CRECY AND CALAIS. more than a hundred retinues I have never found an instance of a Baron serving as a simple knight. 2ndly. The others named in pages 5 and 6 who were not Peers of Parliament, or of Baronial rank, were summoned as Bannerets in the writs of military summons, with the exception of Sir Henry de Braillesfurd, Sir John de Orreby, arid Sir Hugh fitz Simon. The first of these is styled a Banneret on the French Roll of 20 E. Ill (see p. 106), and Sir John de Orreby is called dilectus Banerettus noster in a writ of Edward, Prince of Wales, enrolled on the Chester Recognizance Roll of 21 E. III. Sir Hugh fitz Simon served as a Banneret in the retinue of Ralph, Lord Stafford, at Calais, as will be seen from the following terms of Indenture, which are taken from the Dugdale MSS. in the Bodleian Library : — " Ceste Endenture faite perentre les nobles homes Monsieur Raufe, Baron de Stafford dune parte e Monsieur Hugh fitz Symond dautre parte, testmoigne que le avantdit Monsieur Hugh est demore a Baneret ove le avaiitdit Mon- sieur Raufe, ove quarte de chivalers e eyte Esquires por une an proschien ensuant apres la date de cestes, de aler ove le dit Monsieur Raufe ou quil plerra pour guerre, prenaiit du dit Monsieur Raufe gages accustumez, on bouche de court, a le election du dit Monsieur Raufe, ceste a savoir por lui mesme quatre soudes, por chescun chivaler deux soulds et por chescun Esquier dusse deniers le jour, et por son fee por le an eiitier cents marcs.

All horses for the personal use of men-at-arms were appraised by the King's sergeant s-at-aims at the place of rendezvous of the army. The large " destrier," or war horse, was a very expensive part of a knight's equipment; and the latter received compensation for it if lost in the King's service.

His mother was Eleanor, eldest sister and co-heir of Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester : whence his father had been styled, in some documents, the Earl of Gloucester. It will be seen that Wetewang appears to have been a little doubtful about his rank, for he classes him separately from the Bannerets. He was born in 1308 and died during the Great Pestilence of 1349. He was summoned to Parliament as a Baron in 1338. 2 Ralph, Lord Stafford, was head of the bouse of Stafford, and an hereditary Baron. He was born in 1299, and had been Steward of the Household. He was one of the original Knights of the Garter, and was created an Earl in 1351. After a distinguished career, he died in 1372. 3 Elchard, Lord Talbot, succeeded bis father, Gilbert, in 1346. He was born about 1302, and bad been summoned to Parliament in his father's lifetime. He died in 1350. The present Earl of Shrewsbury is his lineal descendant.

He was born about 1304, and died in 1355. His son of the same name, who was a Banneret in the Prince's retinue, died in 1369, leaving an only daughter, who married Edward, Lord le Despencer. 3 Sir Walter de Mauny (not Manny, as written in our histories) was a Knight of Hainault, who came to England with Queen Philippa. He was one of the most eminent commanders of this period, aud was summoned to Parliament as a Bai*on in 1347. His first rise, however, was probably due to his marriage with Margaret, in her own right Countess of Norfolk, the widow of Lord Segrave, who was daughter and heir of Thomas Plantagenet, Earl of Norfolk, the second son of Edward I. Sir Walter died in 1372, leaving an only daughter, who married John de Hastings, Earl of Pembroke. 4 Sir Reginald de Cobham, of Sterbcrough, co. Surrey, was born about 1295, and was summoned to Parliament as a Baron in 1342. He' married Joan, daughter of Thomas, Lord Berkeley, and died during the second pestilence in 1361. The male line of this family became extinct in 1471. 5 Sir Eobert de Ferrers was lord of Chartley, co. Stafford, and was born in 1310. He died in 1350.

Sir Thomas must have been past middle age when he served at Crecy, for he was in the Scotch wars of Edward II. 2 Sir Hugh de Hastings was a younger son of John, Lord Hastings, of Aber- gavenny, by a second wife, and was half-brother to Laurence de Hastings, the Earl of Pembroke. He died at Calais in July, 1347. 3 Sir Michael de Poynings, of Poynings, co. Surrey, was summoned to Parliament in 1342. He was born in 1317, and died in 1369. The male line of this family became extinct in 1446. 4 Sir John de Strivelyn, or Stirlir.g, was a Scotch soldier of fortune, and nothing is known of his family. He was employed by Edward III in several important missions in Scotland in the early part of the reign, and was summoned to Parliament in 1342. He died in 1378, and the Inquisition taken after his death states that his heir was unknown. 5 Sir Maurice de Berkeley was son of Maurice, Lord Berkeley, who died in 1326, and was half brother of Thomas, the actual lord of Berkeley. The historical peerages confound him with Maurice, the son of Thomas, and consequently represent the latter as knighted when he was seven years of age. Maurice, son of Maurice, who served as a Banneret at Crecy, owed his rise and importance to his possession of the great estates of the Maltravers, which had been conferred upon him after the attainder of Lord Maltravers, who was his brother-in-law; the latter having married Eva, the daughter of Maurice, Lord Berkeley. Maurice, son of Maurice, was invalided home from Calais, and died on the 12th February, 1347, leaving Thomas, his son, who was sixteen years of age. Inq. p.m., 21 E.

He married Alice, daughter and co-heir of Thomas Plantagenet, Earl of Norfolk, the son of Edward I, and was summoned to Parliament in 1342. He played an important part in the coup d'etat which led to the arrest of Roger, Lord Mortimer, in 1330, at the date that Edward III assumed the regal power. He died in 1361, leaving an only daughter, who married William de Ufford, the Earl of Pembroke, but she died without leaving issue, and his line became extinct, WETEWANG'S ACCOUNTS. 197 Sir John de Montgomery1 Sir William titz Waryne2 • Sir John de Lisle3 Sir Thomas de Breux (Braose)J Sir Thomas de Lathom5 ....

He died at Calais in October, 1347. A writ on the Memoranda Roll of 22 E. Ill shews that his executor was Sir Hugh de Montgomery, and this may give some clue to his identity. The Inquisition en his death states he had no heir except the King. 2 Sir William fitz Waryne was brother of Fulk, Lord fitz Waryne, and was a famous warrior of this period. He was given the second vacancy amongst the original Knights of the Garter, and a very full biography of him will be found in Beltz's " History of the Order." He was summoned to Parliament in 1342, and died of the pestilence in 1361. Sir Ivo fitz Waryne, who appears amongst the Knights of the King's Household, was his son. 3 Sir John de Lisle, of Kougemont, co. Bedford, was born in 1299, and wan made a Banneret on the day that the battle of Crecy was fought. He was one of the original Knights of the Garter, and was summoned to Parliament as a Baron in 1350. He was killed in a skirmish in Gascony in 1356. The male line of this family is supposed to have become extinct on the death of his son, Robert, in 1399. 4 Sir Thomas de Braose was a younger brother of William de Braose, of Bramber, feudal lord of Gower, by a second wife, and was summoned to Parliament as a Baron in 1342. He was born in 1301, and married the widow of Edward Planta- genet, the son of Thomas, Earl of Norfolk, who was the daughter of Roger, Earl of March. He died in 1361. The male line of this family became extinct in 1395. 5 Sir Thomas de Lathom was head of the great Lancashire family of Lathom, of Lathom and Knowsley, descended from Siward fitz Dunning, a King's Thane, coeval with Domesday. He succeeded his father Robert in 1324, and died in 1370. The eventual heiress of this family, the sister of the last Thomas de Lathom, married Sir John Stanley, a cadet of the house of Stanley of Hooton, co. Chester, an alliance which laid the foundation of the rise and celebrity of the house of Stanley. 6 Sir John Maltravers was summoned to Parliament as a Baron in 1330, but being accused as an accessory to the death of Edmund, Earl of Kent, the King's uncle, he fled the country in the same year. The historic peerages confound this John with a father of the same name, for it appears from the writs quoted in this work that the John de Maltravers who joined the King in Flanders in 1345 and obtained a provisional pardon and a safe conduct to England was John de Maltravers, the elder.

He was summoned to Parliament in 1343, and died in 1365. None of his descendants were summoned to Parliament, and the history of this barony is one of many others which prove that the writ of summons was never intended to create an hereditary dignity. 2 Sir Robert de Morley, of Morley, co. Norfolk, was summoned to Parliament as a Baron in 1317, and was one of the most famous warriors of the period. He died in France in 1360 during the military operations of that year. The male line of this family ended in 1443 with Robert, Lord Morley, whose only daughter married Sir William Lovel. 3 Sir John Howard, of Wigenhall, co. Norfolk, the Admiral of the Fleet north of the Thames, was the ancestor of the present Duke of Norfolk. Both he and Sir John Montgomery, the Admiral of the Fleet to the south of the Thames, appeared to have been summoned to Calais when the King appeared before it. In fact, the great difficulty of the King at thia period was the provisioning of his army, and for that purpose he required all the ships he could collect. The son of this Sir John, another Sir John Howard, was one of the Knights of the King's Household, but died in the lifetime of his father. This completes the list of the English Bannerets of the King's Household at Calais. Four of them, however, were not at Crecy, having joined the King at a later date. These were Sir Walter de Mauny, Sir Hugh de Hastings, Sir John de Montgomery, and Sir John Howard. On the other hand, one of the Bannerets who were with the King at Crecy, Sir John de Hardeshulle, had been sent to Brittany, and another, Sir Alan la Zouch, was dead. The latter was of Ashby la Zouch, and died on the 12th November, 1346, leaving a son Hugh. Inq. p.m., 20 E. III. 4 Sir Auger de Monhaut, the lord of Missunden, was a Banneret of Gascony. The retinue Rolls at the Record Office shew that lie brought into the field thirty men-at-arms at a later date.

He succeeded his father Alphonso in 1350. 2 Sir William de Warrenne was the illegitimate son of John de Warrenne, the last Earl of Surrey. If it were not for the positive testimony of this document, I should have put him down as a Banneret, for he was one of those summoned to the Great Council of 1342. The same remark applies to Sir William Trussell, of Cublesdon, and to Sir William de Felt on, both of whom were summoned to the same Council.

It will be seen that there are payments made at a later date than that above-mentioned ; but as they were all for i{ wages of war " [vadia guerrce], they doubtless refer to the interval named in the above heading. With the exception of the Earls, all the persons named in these accounts were members of the King's Household. The Earls were paid for their retinues in gross according to the Muster Koll previously given. I have omitted the sums paid, as immaterial, but they varied from £2,000 to the Prince down to £2 or £3 to the valets of the Household. The dates of the payments are given, but not the dates to which they refer, and they seem to have been all payments made on account.

This Roll and the following Roll, which is known as the Calais Roll, contain grants of pardon and charters of franchises, etc. (in fact all grants which would be made by Letters Patent in England) to persons serving in the King's forces abroad.

Given under our Great Seal at Autesle the 15th August. It will be noted that many of the writs on the last two pages are postscripts added to the Eoll, and that they refer to an anterior period.

In the Retinue Rolls of the fifteenth century the esquires of the retinue are styled Valetti. The original meaning of the word is still retained by the French, when they style the knave of a pack of cards the valet. CALAIS KOLL, 21 E. III. 279 m. 3.

An armistice was concluded with the French on the 28th September, and the King returned to England on the 14 bh October. No time was lost in transferring the army to England ; but Knigliton states that in a storm, which took place shortly after the Feast of All Saints (1st November), many men and horses were lost by shipwreck. The Inquisitions p. m. of the years 1346-47 shew that the following tenants in capite died during the expedition to Nor- mandy and the Siege of Calais : — Sir John de Lovayne, of co. Essex. John de Oddyngeseles, of co. Warwick. Sir John de Wanton, of co. Essex. Sir William de Wauton, of co. Essex. Sir Laurence de Preston, of co. Northampton. Sir Eichard de Sandford, of co. Salop. Sir John Mauduyt, of Somerford, co. Wilts. Sir John de Abberbury, of co. Northampton. Sir John Dauney, of co. Cornwall.1 Geoffrey de Lucy, of co. Kent. Sir Edmund de Neville, of co. Lancaster. Sir Philip de Stredleye, of co. Derby. Thomas de Wyntreshulle, of co. Surrey. Sir Alan la Zouch, of Ashby, co. Leicester. Sir Eobert Paveley, of co. Notts. Sir William de Herle, of co. Northumberland. Sir Eobert de Lacy, of co. Essex. Eichard de Gaskrik, of co. Lincoln. Sir Eoger de Londham, of co. Suffolk. Sir William de Chetelton, of co. Dorset. John Freyne, of co. Hereford. Sir Edmund Peverel, of co. Lincoln. Sir Ealph de Abenale, of co. Gloucester. Sir John de Hamley, of co. Cornwall. Sir John de Montegomery, of co. Southampton. Sir John de Hemenhale, of co. Norfolk. Sir John de Molines, of co. Southampton. Sir Ealph de Ufford, of co. Dorset. Adam de Grymstede, of co. Norfolk. 1 Misprinted John Dauncey in the " Official Calendar of Inquisitions, p. m." CALAIS ROLL, 21 E. III. 281 John Maureward, of co. Leicester. Henry Whisshe, of co. Surrey. Sir Reginald de Pavely, of co. Wilts. Sir Herbert de St. Quintin, of co. Wilts. Sir Maurice de Berkeley, of Stoke Giffard. Sir Hugh de Hastings, of co. Notts. Sir John de Haveryngton, of co. Lancaster. Sir Edmund de St. John, only son of Hugh, Lord St. John, of Basing. John de Warrenne, Earl of Surrey. Sir John Latymer, of co. Leicester. Sir Richard Dansey, of co. Wilts. John Lord Lovel, of Minster Lovel, co. Oxford. As not more than one in thirty of the Knights and Esquires serving with the King would hold lands in capite, this list, of forty- three tenants of the Crown who died during the expedition represents a very large mortality. Besides the above, the deaths of the following Knights and Esquires are mentioned in the writs printed in this volume : — Sir John de Leukenor. Sir Hugh de Cressy. Robert de Brent. Guy Meverel, of co. Stafford. Sir Henry de Prayers. Sir John de Vere. Sir Ralph de Lingen. Sir William de Kildesby. Sir Ralph de Willington. Sir Thomas de Bourne. John Lord Fauconberg. John de Coggeshale. James de Bourne, and a son (whose name is not given) of Thomas Lord Berkeley. Thus ended two momentous years of European history. To fully appreciate their importance it is necessary to cast a glance on the military and political state of Europe at this period : Germany was divided into a number of petty States, rent into two hostile factions by the periodical election of an Emperor. Italy consisted of a number of small Principalities and inde- 282 CRECY AND CALAIS. pendent Eepublics, usually at war one with another, or divided by intestine feuds and jealousies. More than one-third of Spain was occupied by the Moors, and the remainder of the country was divided into the three minor kingdoms of Castile, Aragon, and Navarre. Amidst this congery of petty States, France stood supreme — a central body of military and political power, without a rival, and holding in her grasp, as it were, a French Pope at Avignon, who, although subject more or less to the French Kings, yet exercised a powerful dominion over the whole of Europe. For a hundred years or more the predominance of France had not been questioned, yet a two hours' conflict on an obscure corner of her territory had crumpled her power into dust. Such events as these have more than an antiquarian interest : they colour the stream of history for centuries afterwards and convey a lasting warning to those nations which neglect their military power in time of peace. ADDENDA AND CORRIGENDA. A fragment of Wetewang's Accounts for the war amongst the Dodsworth's MSS. in the Bodleian Library, at Oxford, contains the wages paid by Edward III. in the expedition to France of 1346-47. The rates were as follows : — The Prince at 20s. per diem. The Bishop of Durham at 6s. 8d. per diem. 13 Earls, each at 6s. 8d. per diem. 44 Barons and Bannerets, each at 4s. per diem. 10,046 Knights, each at 2s. per diem. 4,022 Scutiferi, Constabularii,1 Centenarii2 et Ductores, each at I2d. per diem. 5,104 Vintenarii3 et Sagittarii Equites, each at 60?. per diem. 335 Pauncenarii,4 each at 6d. per diem. 500 Hobelarii,5 each at Qd. per diem. 15,480 Sagittarii pedites, each at 3o?. per diem. 3L4 Cementarii, Carpentarii, Fabri, Ingeniatores, Armatores, Gunna- tores et Artillarii at 12e£, 10o?., 6d. and 3d. per diem. 4,474 Walenses pedites, of which 200 Vintenarii received 4d. per diem and the rest 2d. per diem. It is difficult to transmute these rates of pay into modern money, owing to a difference of nomenclature, as well as the great change in the value of the precious metals. The penny of the Mediaeval period, for instance, was a silver coin ; but judging from the price of commodities in common use, the purchasing power of the penny in the reign of Edward III. was about twenty times that of the penny of the present day. At this rate the pay of the Archer, or foot soldier, of 1346 would be 5s. a day, and the pay of a Knight would be 40s. a day. Pages 5 and 6. The names of John Lord Typetpt, Ralph Lord Basset of Weldon, Sir Hugh fitz Simon, and Sir John de Orreby should be added to the list of Bannerets who served in the expedition. The first-named was at the Battle of Neville's Cross, but joined the King subsequently at Calais. 1 The Constables were the leaders of mounted men. 2 The Centenarii commanded a hundred footmen. 3 The Vintenarii commanded twenty footmen. 4 The Pauncenars were heavily-armed infantry who wore armour. They seem to have been all Germans, or men from Hainault and Lorraine. (See p. 204.) 5 The Hobelars were lightly-armed horsemen, on small horses. The name still exists in the hobbyhorse. 284 ADDENDA AND CORRIGENDA. Page 31. The name of Sir John Daunay should be removed from the list of Bannerets at Crecy in the Prince's Division, for he died on the 3rd August, 1346. This fact was overlooked owing to the circumstance that his name has been printed John Dauncey in the published Calendar of Jnquisitiones post-mortem. Pages 31 and 35. The names of Sir William de Montagu and Sir Maurice de Berkeley, the son of Thomas Lord Berkeley, should be trans- ferred from the King's suite to the Prince's suite, the first as a Banneret and the second as a Knight. (See pages 157 and 178.) Sir Maurice de Berkeley, who served as a Banneret in the suite of the Prince, was son of Maurice late Lord Berkeley, and uncle of the younger Maurice. (See note at p. 196.)
