1380 Assist Bretagne Buckingham Channel Fourth Trumpets Woodstock Years
EDITORS COMMENTS
Thomas of Woodstock, the fourth Earl of Buckingham, leads a formidable English army to the shores of Brittany in 1380, to lend support to Duke Jean de Bretagne in his ongoing conflict against the French. With flags flying high and trumpets blaring, the fleet bravely crosses the Channel, marking the beginning of an important alliance between England and Brittany against their common enemy. This significant event, which occurred over 100 years before the infamous War of the Roses, highlights the complex web of European alliances and power struggles that defined the late medieval period. The Earl of Buckingham's military prowess and diplomatic acumen would prove invaluable to Duke Jean, as they faced the might of the French monarchy. This evocative image captures the spirit of camaraderie and determination among the soldiers as they embark on their perilous journey, with the vast expanse of the sea stretching out before them. The roaring waves and billowing sails serve as a stark reminder of the challenges and uncertainties that lay ahead, as the two allies set sail towards an uncertain future.
