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.
