I wish to name some of the most renowned knights who were with the
Prince of Wales. There were Thomas Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick; John
Vere, Earl of Oxford; William Montacute, Earl of Salisbury; Robert
Hufford, Earl of Suffolk; Ralph, Lord Stafford, the Earl of Stafford;
the Lord Richard Stafford, brother to the Earl; Sir John Chandos; the
Lord Reginald Cobham; the Lord Edward Spencer; the Lord James Audley,
and his brother the Lord Peter; the Lord Thomas Berkeley (son of the
Lord Maurice Berkeley, who died at Calais nine years before); Ralph,
Lord Basset, of Drayton; John, Lord Warren (eldest son to John
Plantagenet, late Earl of Warren, Strathern, and Surrey, by his first
lady, Maude de Hereford); Peter, Lord Mauley, the sixth of the name; the
Lord John Willoughby de Eresby; the Lord Bartholomew de Burghersh; the
Lord William Felton, and the Lord Thomas Felton his brother; the Lord
Thomas Bradestan; Sir Walter Pavely; Sir Stephen Cossington; Sir
Matthew Gournay; Sir William de la More, and other English. From
Gascony, there were the Lord of Pumiers; the Lord d’Albret; the Captal
de Buch; the Lord John de Chaumont; the Lord de l’Esparre; the Lord of
Rosen; the Lord of Cousen; the Lord de Montferrand; the Lord de
Landulas; the Lord Souldich de la Traine, and many more whom I cannot
remember. Of Hainaulters, there were Sir Eustace d’Ambreticourt; the
Lord John de Guystelle, and two other strangers; the Lord Daniel
Phaselle, and Lord Denys de Morbeque. The whole army of the prince,
including every one, did not amount to eight thousand; when the French,
counting all sorts of persons, were upward of sixty thousand combatants,
among whom were more than three thousand knights.
