military artists Brian Palmer, mark Churms and Henry Dupray, the military
art prints of the battle of Crecy are only available direct form
medieval art prints and Cranston Fine arts
One of the battles fought during the Hundred Years
War, on 26th August 1346. On 12th July Edward III landed in Normandy with
his army and marching north plundered the countryside. King Philip VI
assembled an army to stop Edward and tracked them across the Somme River.
When Edward reached Crécy he stopped and ordered his army to take up
defensive positions. King Philip surveyed the English positions and
decided to postpone his attack until August 27th. However, the French
vanguard pressed forward too far and so committed the entire army to the
battle. The hired Genoese crossbowmen began the assault but came under
severe attack from the English longbows and so fled to the rear. King
Philip then ordered his cavalry to charge resulting in a huge loss of
horse and man under the barrage of arrows which rained down on them. By
the end of the night after several unsuccessful assaults the French army
was reduced by a third and King John of Luxemburg was dead. Edward then
turned towards Calais.

Crécy
1346, Triumph of the Longbow by David Nicolle
The battle of Crécy
was the first major land battle of the Hundred Years War. 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 infantrymen, and particularly the longbowmen, now
ruled supreme.
