Three daies they assailed the bastile, in the which six hundred
Englishmen were inclosed, and at length bicause powder and weapon
failed them within, the Frenchmen wan it, and tooke the bastard Talbot
prisoner, with sir William Peitow, and sir Iohn Repleie, which shortlie
after were redeemed. The other English souldiers seeing the bastile
woone by the Frenchmen, stood all a daie in good order of battell, and
in the night following, politikelie saued themselues and returned to
Rone, without losse or damage. In the assaulting of the bastile, the
Frenchmen saie, they slue two hundred Englishmen; and denie not but
that they lost fiue hundred of their owne men, beside those that were
hurt. Whilest these things were a dooing, Philip duke of Burgognie made
sharpe warre against the earle of saint Paule, in taking from him his
townes and castels, that made him to renounce his allegiance swoorne
and promised to the king of England, and returned to the French part.
