Date: Summer 1349 - Size: Very Small - Location: Lunalonge, Deux Sevres, France
Scenario Briefing: Historical - Despite the 1348 treaty of Calais, raids and minor actions continued in Gascony and the south of France. In late May, the Seneschal of Gascony, Thomas Coke, led a 500 strong mounted band to raise the siege of Lusignan castle. However, this small force was intercepted by some 1,500 French cavalry under Jean de Lille. The Gascons dismounted and adopted a defensive formation on a small hillock and, despite the capture of their horses and baggage, repulsed the repeated French attacks. Jean de Grailly, Captal de Buch, later famous for his participation in the battles of Poitiers and Najera and also captured at Cocherel, was present on the Gascon side.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Note: Side A = French, Side B = pro-English Gascons
Best played as the French side against the Gascon A/I.
