The Hundred Years War
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In 1337, based on the strength of his claim to the French throne as a direct
descendant of
Philip IV through his mother, Isabella of France, Edward III of England
refused to do more
than simple (non-liege) homage for Guyenne to the French King Philip VI.
The resulting war that started shortly afterward between France and England
continued, with
periodic truces, until 1453.
The Battle of Cricy, fought on Saturday, August 26,
1346 was the first of several significant battles
during which the longbow triumphed over
crossbowmen and armoured knights. (Other battles
were Poitiers, in 1356 and Agincourt, in 1415.)
Some highlights - referenced from the works of Jean Froissant and The Longbow
by Robert
Hardy:
French forces numbered approximately 36,000.
English forces numbered approximately 12,000 of which 7,000 were
archers.
The battle line was approximately 2,000 yards wide
The English army, occupying the top of a gentle ridge near the town,
consisted of
three groups of men-at-arms and spearmen, with archers placed on their
sides. The
archers formed ranks resembling an outward V.
Each English archer carried 2 sheaves of arrows (48) into battle.
Resupply was
accomplished by going back thru the lines or having more brought
forward.
The bow draw weights were normally from 80 to 120 lbs.
Arrows, depending on type and weight, could be shot 250 to 300 yards.
The English archers could shoot an average of 10 arrows per minute.
The total number of arrows shot during the battle is estimated at a half
million.
There were 14 to 16 charges made against the English lines from the
start of the
battle at 4:00 PM until the completion at midnight.
Casulties were estimated from 5,000 (low) to 10,000 or more (high) for
the French
Knights and Genoese crossbowmen. English casulties were several hundred.
