And this fell most unhappily out, while a certain person was endeavouring to find out the Duke to have begged of him to come and charge at the head of his own troops. However, this I dare affirm, Maillot Guadalajara that if the Duke had been but master of two hundred horse, well mounted, completely armed, personally valiant, and commanded by experienced officers, they would have been victorious. This is acknowledged by our enemies, who have often confessed Sweden Kinder they were ready to fly through the impressions made upon them by our foot, and must have been beaten had our horse done Norway Trikot their part, and not tamely looked on till their cavalry retrieved the day by falling into the rear of our battalions.
