The Battle of Crecy was the first major land battle of the Hundred
Years War (1337-1453). It pitted the French army, then considered
the best in Europe, and their miscellaneous allies against the
English under King Edward III and the 'Black Prince', who as yet
had no great military reputation; this was the battle where he 'won
his spurs'. The Genoese crossbowmen were outshot by the English
longbows and the pattern was set for the rest of the day: the
French cavalry were committed piecemeal in fruitless charges
against strong English positions, losing perhaps 10,000 men in the
course of the fighting. After almost a millennium in which cavalry
had dominated the field of battle, the infantryman, and
particularly the longbowman, now ruled supreme.
