[66] _Gesta_, 13; Hardyng's _Journal_, 389; Walsingham, _Hist.

Angl._, ii. 307. Cotton MS., Claudius, A. VIII. f. 2, says there were only three hundred and twenty sail.

[87] Elmham, _Vita_, 42. Livius, 9, says that Gloucester was given control over the whole siege. He is followed by Stow, 348.

This, however, is very improbable.

[108] Rymer, IV. ii. 147.

[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.
