Further details as to English authorities, ancient and modern, can be found in GROSS’S excellent Sources and Literature of English History (1900).  The Monumenta Germaniae Historica, Scriptores, vols. xxvii., xxviii., consist of excerpts from English writers of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries; the introductions (in Latin) by Pauli and Liebermann contain noteworthy estimates of the works from which the extracts are taken.

NOTE TO PAGES 390-92.

My reasons for my account of the battle of Poitiers demand longer explanation than can be given in a footnote.  Like most modern writers, I have based my narrative on the Chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker as expounded by Sir E.M.  Thompson, though I agree with Professor Oman in holding that Baker’s “ampla profundaque vallis et mariscus, torrente quodam irriguus,” must be the valley of the Miausson.  I also, however, agree with Father Denifle in not setting great store on Chandos Herald, though I would not reject him altogether, as all prudent writers must reject Froissart.  My conjectural account of the movements of the armies is an attempt to combine Baker with what may be true in the Herald.  I hope elsewhere to be able to justify my narrative at length.
