[Sidenote: _Hall._] [Sidenote: The valiance of the yoong prince.] The prince that daie holpe his father like a lustie yoong gentleman: for although he was hurt in the face with an arrow, so that diuerse noble men that were about him, would haue conueied him foorth of the field, yet he would not suffer them so to doo, least his departure from amongst his men might happilie haue striken some feare into their harts: and so without regard of his hurt, he continued with his men, [Sidenote: A sore battell & well mainteined.] & neuer ceassed, either to fight where the battell was most hot, or to incourage his men where it séemed most néed. This battell lasted thrée long houres, with indifferent fortune on both parts, till at length, the king crieng saint George victorie, brake the arraie of his enimies, and aduentured so farre, [Sidenote: The valiant dooings of the earle Dowglas.] that (as some write) the earle Dowglas strake him downe, & at that instant slue sir Walter Blunt, and thrée other, apparelled in the kings sute and clothing, saieng: I maruell to sée so many kings thus suddenlie arise one in the necke of an other. The king in deed was raised, [Sidenote: The high manhood of the king.] & did that daie manie a noble feat of armes, for as it is written, he slue that daie with his owne hands six and thirtie persons of his enimies. The other on his part incouraged by his doings, [Sidenote: The lord Persie slaine.] fought valiantlie, and slue the lord Persie, called sir Henrie Hotspurre. To conclude, the kings enimies were vanquished, and put to flight, in which flight, the earle of Dowglas, for hast, falling from the crag of an hie mounteine, [Sidenote: The earle Dowglas taken prisoner.] brake one of his cullions, and was taken, and for his valiantnesse, of the king frankelie and freelie deliuered.
