1356 Battle of Poitiers, Hundred Years War

Put on your good headphones, turn on Closed Captioning, and make sure you aren't French. Late in the summer of 1356, the oldest son of England’s King, Edward the Third, Edward the Black Prince, led a small army from Bordeaux deep into the French King’s realm, almost exactly ten years after the humiliating defeat of the French at Crecy in 1346.
