"English Heritage honore les archers de Wight morts à Saint-Aubin du Cormier en 1488", Agence Bretagne Presse, 11/08/09. The wording, in English followed by French, is «To the 500 English archers who shed their blood under Talbot Earl of Scales; Aux 500 Archers Anglais qui versèrent leur sang sous les ordres de Talbot comte de Scales ». This may derive from confusion caused by the wording of a famous letter written by Joan of Arc in 1429 referring to her victories over the English: "Believe what you have heard about the earl of Suffolk, the lord la Pole and his brother, the lord Talbot, the lord Scales, and Sir Fastolf; many more knights and captains than these are defeated." This refers to John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury and Thomas de Scales, 7th Baron Scales (d. 1460)
