Following his capture, Pembroke was taken to Castile, along with about 160 of his men, 70 of them knights ("with golden spurs") and was paraded through Burgos. There he was confined to prison, where he appears to have been treated poorly. The Spanish, according to custom, transported prisoners "bound with chains or cords, like dogs in leash," or, as reportedly at Santander, in irons. Their treatment appalled even the Castilian's French allies: the French chronicler Jean Froissart wrote, of the Castilians, that "they know no finer courtesy, just like the Germans."
