THE BATTLE OF PATAY--OPINIONS OF ITALIAN AND GERMAN ECCLESIASTICS--THE GIEN ARMY Having left Paris on the 9th of June, Sir John Fastolf was coming through La Beauce with five thousand fighting men.

To the English at Jargeau he was bringing victuals and arrows in abundance.

Learning by the way that the town had surrendered, he left his stores at Etampes and marched on to Janville, where Sir John Talbot joined him with forty lances and two hundred bowmen.[1267] [Footnote 1267: Wavrin du Forestel, _Anciennes chroniques_, ed.
