Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester: A Biography

by Kenneth Hotham Vickers

[109] Gesta, 36, which, however, gives October 7 in another place. Hardyng gives October 1, but he is a week too early all through. Waurin, ii. 188, says the English stopped a fortnight at Harfleur.

[110] So Gesta, 36; Hardyng’s Journal, 390; but Waurin, ii. 188, gives 2000 lances and 14,000 archers, an absurd estimate. See Nicholas’s Agincourt, 78, where it is concluded that Henry had between six and nine thousand men.

[111] Roll of men at Agincourt printed in Nicholas’s Agincourt, 336.
