The Counts of Fauquembergues and Marle attempted to lead after the death of Constable Charles I d'Albret [dahl-BRAY], while a French raid on the English camp led, according to one account, to the execution of French prisoners. The Somme had been an obstacle for one side, which had to march to Nesle to cross. The chosen field for the battle, only 900 yards wide, prevented the use of French bombards and two weeks of rain had brought knee-deep mud, possibly causing the death of Edward, Second Duke of York. FTP, name this 1415 battle of the Hundred Years' War, notably described in Henry V.
