Описания +/- совпадают с описаниями Никифора Григоры. У турок может быть больше всадников, может быть больше пехоты, но пехоты в любом случае, обычно, существенное количество. К абсолютным числам войск турок и их потерь, естественно, нужно относится скептически.
Типовая зарисовка для битвы с турками:
And at once the Grand Duke with the chivalry attacked the horsemen and En Rocafort and the almugavars attacked the men afoot.
А так... Опять к теме "что может пеший со щитом и сулицей против латинского латника". Особенно если такие "велиты" не одни.
- However, he commended himself to God and collected his followers and attacked the Frenchmen so strenuously that he made them turn back towards the city, so that the pursuit went as far as the bridge of Brindisi, and there might you have seen knightly feats of arms, on both sides. And the almugavars, who saw this press and that the French held their own so strongly, broke their lances short and then went amongst the enemy and proceeded to disembowel horses and to kill knights.
- And count Galceran and Don Blasco would not form a van and rear, but, all collected together, the chivalry on the left and the almugavars on the right, attacked the van of the others in such manner that it seemed all the world was crumbling. And the battle was very cruel, and the almugavars hurled the darts so that it was devil`s work what they did, for at the first charge more than a hundred knights and horses of the French fell dead to the ground. Then they broke their lances short and disembowelled horses, and they went about amongst them as if they were walking in a garden. And count Galceran and Don Blasco went at the banners of the French in such manner that they threw them all to the ground, and then might you see feats of arms, and blows given and taken, for there was never so cruel a battle between so few people.
