A witness, who narrowly escaped murder, insist that the French princes and their knights were taken prisonners and then killed to prevent them from taking up arms during the second onslaught. A wise but ruthless decision (who gave the English a reputation of brutes and liars and horribly complicated their conquest since nobody wanted to be lorded over by them).
Besides this, a man in armor can raise from the ground even in mud. He can’t when he is crushed under the feet or bodies of friends or foes. In some fights, some even died suffocating from the pressure, standing, and could not lump to the ground when dead (eg: Rosebeke battle). It is interesting to note that in those accounts, the mass of fighters that create this pressure is called the “presse†or the “tourbeâ€. Tourbe litteraly means mud or peat. So it is not inaccurate to say many suffocated in the mud :p

Split off the "drowning in three inches" to another thread.
A mobility in armor thread could be fun.
