Another source is the unreliable chronicle of Jean Froissart, known for his anglophilia, whose data should not be taken too seriously in this battle because he was not even in Spain at that time. According to Froissart the Castilian-French army had 57,000 men.^[1] Some British historians have raised the numbers to 86,000 men.^[2] According Froissart the Anglo-Castilian army had 24,000 men.^[1]}}

The problem I have is the page to which you link (309) does not contain any numbers. It is also a very old edition (which I found difficult to read). Here is a newer edition:

Froissart, Sir Jean (1857). "Chapter CCXLI — The Battle of Navarretta ...". Chronicles Of England, France, Spain, And The Adjoinoing Countries. Vol. 1. Translated by Johnes, Thomas (Two volumes ed.). London: H.G. Bohn. OCLC 392656.)

Please could yo supply the page numbers for the citations you give. -- PBS (talk) 13:37, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
