The royal body was not discovered till the next day, when, in a circle of his slain nobility, he was found by lord Dacres, who was well acquainted with his person. He was wounded in many parts, pierced also by several arrows; his left hand was almost severed from the arm by two several wounds, and his neck was laid open to the middle. His body was embalmed at Berwick, was afterwards sent to Newcastle, and from thence to Richmond, in Surry. The loss of the English was computed at 1,500 men, in which number scarce a man of considerable note was included. The disproportion of the slain was attributed to the English artillery and archers. The victorious earl of Surry, deposited the standards taken in the field in the cathedral of Durham, and presented to the herald's office the sword and dagger of the vanquished monarch.
