August 17, 1424
Sometimes called the 'second Agincourt,' Verneuil saw the English regent of France, the Duke of Bedford, defeat a combined French and Scottish army. The Scots — fighting under the Auld Alliance with France — made up a substantial part of the anti-English force. English longbowmen once again devastated cavalry charges, and Scottish pikemen fighting on foot were killed in large numbers. The Duke of Bedford's tactical handling was superb, defeating simultaneous attacks on multiple sides.
