M. Paris : he says that 8200 were lost in the army of Robert, earl ot Artois,

and tliat is said to have been one -third of the whole army, which, at that rate, would not exceed 30,000. M. Paris also states tliat 17,200 were slain or taken in the last conflict, at which Louis was made prisoner. So that it is most likely the story of 80,000 has arisen from mistaking 30,000 for 80,000.—
