That Welsh bowmen were successful does nothing to justify the standard practice of the time which was to pull up in front off a town and demand that the richest men be sent out as a sacrifice for the attacking army.
Jeanne d'arc stepped into the void, and under the political sponsorship of Rene d'Anjou she figured out what to do with cannon ~ turn your own cannon on the enemy's cannon ~ and the pretentions of the English claimants and their Burgundian allies were reduced to rubble.
I prefer the late 1400s to the early 1400s BTW ~ the Hundred Years War and the Great Plague make everything so grim!
Absolutely right on the mark. Excellent. Thanks for the post, and the ping expat1000.
