Battle of Sluys from a fourteenth-century miniature of Jean Froissart's Chroniques.
The last battle of the war, the Battle of Castillon, was the first battle in European history where artillery was the deciding factor.
At the first major battle of the war, the Battle of Crécy, it is said that the age of chivalry came to an end.
Battle of Crécy Summary (1502 words)
However, in the battle, the French knights, protected by mail reinforced with plate, nearly exhausted by having to walk through a quagmire of mud to charge uphill into English arrow storms, were cut down by bodkin arrows.
As in later battles, while the longbowmen could not easily penetrate the knights' much-improved armor, they found flank areas of the opposition's horses which were unprotected and killed or disabled their mounts, leaving the knights floundering about on foot.
The battle is seen by many historians as the beginning of the end of chivalry; during the course of the battle, many of the prisoners and wounded were killed.
