EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of Sluys, also known as the Battle of the Sluys or the Battle of the Spurs, took place on June 24, 1340, in the North Sea off the coast of Sluys, a small town in modern-day Belgium. This historic event marked a significant turning point in the Hundred Years War between England and France. In this stunning print from Mary Evans Picture Library, we witness the aftermath of the English victory over the French fleet. The English fleet, commanded by King Edward III, numbered around 200 ships, including transport vessels and warships. The French fleet, under the command of Count Philip VI of France and Count Guy of Flanders, consisted of approximately 70 ships. Despite the smaller number, the French were initially confident of victory due to their larger and more powerful vessels. However, the English fleet, with its superior maneuverability and archers stationed on the decks, proved to be a formidable force. The battle raged for several hours, with the English managing to capture or destroy virtually every French vessel. The French losses were catastrophic, with many noblemen and knights among the dead or captured. This print, titled "The Battle of Sluys, or the Battle of the Spurs," offers a glimpse into the chaos and destruction of the battle scene. The English ships, with their sails raised and pennants flying, are shown in triumphant formation, while the wreckage of the French fleet lies scattered in the background. The print also depicts the Lecluse, a crucial strategic point in the battle, where the English were able to trap the French fleet against the shoals. The Battle of Sluys was a decisive victory for the English, boosting morale and weakening the French hold on Flanders. It also paved the way for Edward III's successful invasion of France in 1346, leading to the capture of Calais and the beginning of English rule in France.
