Another most informative talk Kevin, I thank you sir. I cannot say I was aware of these three battles, so your descriptions filled a hole in my knowledge of the period (one of the many!). I still love your little dioramas - they are invaluable in demonstrating the battles as they unfold. At least we (plus some of those Breton types) largely gave the French a good trouncing - and quite right too. There are those who would say that one Englishman is worth a dozen Frenchmen.

Small battles often have great significance.

What stopped the French from attacking the English flanks? I know the longbowmen deployed stakes, but I suppose they didn't always have the time to do this. Wouldn't you prioritize killing the archers first, maybe with the infantry (those poor buggers)? There is usually a logical explanation for these kind of things, hence my question.

These small wars and small battles, hardly remembered and mostly forgotten, were going on all over Europe throughout the medieval era. When I really started digging into European history I began to wonder....was there such a thing as a Year of Peace? I don't think so. Wars and skirmishes over petty complaints or settling old scores or killing family members for a throne seem non-stop. If you look at a map of "Germany" from the 1200s to 1300's (ish) its a patchwork quilt of dozens of tiny fiefdoms. Each was looking out for themselves and watching out for the other guys who could attack at any time for any number of reasons. Life was complicated back then, probably more than today in some ways like political stability. Even the Norse/Vikings could not and did not trust each other and fought a lot with each other. Kind of like a violent dysfunctional family .

In medieval terms the large shields were called pavise, and used by crossbowmen to give them cover whilst re-loading, but there were even larger shields for attacking a castle during a siege, and these were called mantlets.

Now I know we tread the same path Kevin! Mauron was the making of Knolles and Auray gained him a sweet ransom (Auxerre’s heir) but du Guesclin is someone you must do a film on, the ‘Black Dog of Brittany’ was fascinating, captured at least 4 or 5 times, ransomed everytime (the French kings couldn’t manage without him) he is the one who figured out how to outfox the free floating armies of the English and was the strategist behind the complete ruin of the forces at Pontvallain in 1370 - really he could keep you busy for several films!

I also found Tony Bostock's books on the Cheshire knights (Knolles and Calveley) impossible to put down. I suspect he has had some military background himself - but YOU have made all these disparate pieces mesh in a way that words on a page cannot do! I think you would love, just love doing a few films on du Guesclin, he was brother-in-arms to Calveley, even had some of his ransom paid by Hugh (I forget which one, the Breton had so many incidents where this happened!) But he was a canny, gruff, shrewd fighter, a freebooter as well when he was younger, and he understood Edward III inside and out, and when Knolles smartly took his men into winter quarters in 1370 du Guesclin pursued the remaining twits (they were not about to listen to "an old freebooter" like Knolles) du Guesclin struck! Oh you would just love this guy! Several of the biographies on him, quite 'ancient' are digitized and downloadable, if you don't mind translating - which I suspect you do not!

Quick question how often or common would you find a bagpipe being played during battles throughout English history there's seems to be on particular gentleman during WW2 who was armed with only a longbow, longsword and bagpipes, landing on the beach of Normandy, capturing a officer and getting confirmed kills with the bow and in the movie waterloo you see the scots guard regiment playing their bagpipes while crossing the battlefield.

The Scottish weren't really prominent in English armies until the Jacobite Rebellion was quashed in 1746. Afterwards (and sometime before with 'loyalist regiments') did the British army openly recruit in Scotland. The 'Highlanders' as they were known, were and still are a very powerful unit in the British military. So to answer your question, the bagpipes would likely be played WITH the English from the mid-18th century onwards. Before, you'd likely hear it if you fought against the Scots :)

I used to view wars as just one of those things armies fight, people die, another day dawns, etc. i found the stories of tactics and feats of daring do fascinating. When i was a young digger i had a conversation over a schooner with my squadron commander and we were talking about battles and logistics and he said that the army leaders know who will win and how many men will die before the first shot is fired. Within reason. I didn’t fully understand the ramifications of what he meant back then but now I’m a lot older i find myself asking questions. Like what kind of bastard would knowingly sacrifice his men for little to no gain? Once you realised the battle was lost why would you keep fighting, is it really worth it?
