Footnote 151
To quote part of Enguerrand de Monstrelet's report on this incident:
"The earl, on the third day after his arrival before Orleans,
entered the tower on the bridge, and ascended to the second story,
whence from a window that overlooked the town he was observing what
was passing within, and was considering on the best mode of reducing
it to obedience. While thus occupied, a stone from a veuglaire struck
the window, whence the earl, hearing the report, had withdrawn, but
too late, for the shot carried away part of his face, and killed a
gentleman behind him dead on the spot. The army were greatly grieved
at this unfortunate accident, for he was much feared and beloved by
them, and considered the most subtle, expert, and fortunate in arms
of all the English captains. The earl, though so severely wounded,
lived eight days; and having summoned all his captains, he admonished
them, in the name of the King of England, to reduce the town of
Orleans to his obedience without fail. Having done this, he was carried
to Mehun, and there died, as I have said, at the end of eight days."
