Even though the English were outnumbered, their losses were far lower than those of the French. The French losses are estimated to be 4,000–10,000 French dead, with up to 1,600 English dead. The French suffered heavily, many French were either killed or captured as prisoners. Three dukes, at least eight counts, a viscount and an archbishop died, along with numerous other nobles. Estimates of the number of prisoners vary between 700 and 2,200. Almost all these prisoners would have been nobles because the less valuable prisoners were slaughtered.
