August 1346: The Battle of Crecy - A Triumph of English Strategy and the Deadly Impact of the Longbow This evocative image captures the aftermath of one of the most significant battles in medieval history: the Battle of Crecy, fought on August 26, 1346, between the English army, led by King Edward III, and the French forces under King Philippe VI. The English, numbering approximately 9,000 men, emerged victorious against the French army of around 30,000. The English strategy at Crecy was a masterclass in the use of the longbow, an innovative weapon that would change the face of warfare. The longbowmen, positioned in a defensive formation, decimated the French cavalry charges, demonstrating the power of disciplined infantry over horse-mounted knights. The battle took place near the village of Crecy in northern France, marking the first major English victory in the Hundred Years War. The English triumph was a turning point in the conflict, as it established English dominance on the European continent and significantly weakened French power. The image presents a poignant scene, with the fallen French knights and soldiers scattered across the battlefield, while the English soldiers, having successfully defended their position, stand victorious. The eventful year of 1346 saw the English capture the French cities of Calais and Bordeaux, further solidifying their presence in France. This powerful photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the medieval era and the momentous Battle of Crecy.
