EDITORS COMMENTS
This intricately detailed map provides a visual representation of King Edward III of England's military campaign through France during the pivotal year of 1346. The map marks the significant movements of the English army from their initial landing at Barfleur, in Normandy, to their eventual victory and retreat at Calais. The early 14th century was a tumultuous time in European history, with the Hundred Years War between England and France reaching a critical point. King Edward III, determined to assert English claims to the French throne, led a formidable army across the English Channel. The map illustrates the strategic locations of key battles, most notably the decisive Battle of Crecy, which took place on August 26, 1346, and the Battle of Caen, fought on August 28, 1346. The Battle of Crecy is considered a turning point in the Hundred Years War, as the English longbowmen inflicted a devastating defeat upon the French knights. The map shows the approximate locations of the English and French forces, as well as the surrounding terrain. The Battle of Caen, though less well-known, was significant as it marked the capture of the city by the English and the beginning of their siege of Calais, which would last for over a century. This map offers a unique perspective on the military strategies and tactics employed during the Hundred Years War, providing valuable insight into the complex political and military landscape of the early 14th century. The intricate details and accurate depictions make it an essential resource for historians, students, and anyone interested in the history of this period.
