noon
On riding up they found that the object of strife was the King of France , who had been snatched from the hands of Montbec , and was being claimed by a score of men as his prisoner . The Earl of Warwick and Lord Cobham instantly made their way through the mass , and dismounting , saluted the captive monarch with the deepest reverence , and keeping back the multitude led him to the Prince of Wales . The latter bent his knee before the king , and calling for wine , presented the cup with his own hands to the unfortunate monarch . The battle was over by noon , but it was evening before all the pursuing parties returned , and the result of the victory was then fully known . With less than eight thousand men the English had conquered far more than sixty thousand . On the English side two thousand men-at-arms and fifteen hundred archers had fallen . Upon the French side eleven thousand men-at-arms , besides an immense number of footmen , had been killed .
