The death toll is extremely lopsided with the French losing significantly more than the English. The French have lost several high-ranking noblemen including the Duke of Orleans in addition to fifteen hundred other soldiers with various titles. The French also have lost a considerable number of common soldiers and mercenaries. The English have lost a few noblemen such as the Duke of York and the Earl of Suffolk and considerably fewer common soldiers.
