Detail InformationEdit

The Battle of Castillon of 1453 was the last battle fought between the French and the English during the Hundred Years’ War. It resulted in a decisive French victory. After the French capture of Bordeaux in 1451, the Hundred Years’ War appeared to be at an end. However, after three hundred years of English rule the citizens of Bordeaux considered themselves subjects of the English monarch and sent messengers to Henry VI of England demanding he recapture the province.
On 17 October 1452, John Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury landed near Bordeaux with a force of 3,000 men-at-arms and archers. The French garrison was ejected by the citizens of Bordeaux, who then gleefully opened the gates to the English. Most of western Gascony followed Bordeaux’s example and welcomed the English home. During the winter month Charles VII of France gathered his armies in readiness for the campaigning season. When spring arrived Charles advanced toward Bordeaux simultaneously along three different routes with three armies.
