The Battle of Poitiers, fought on September 19, 1356, was a pivotal conflict in the Hundred Years' War between England and France. Led by Edward, the Black Prince, the English forces faced a significantly larger French army commanded by King John II. The battle showcased the tactical prowess of the English, who employed effective longbowmen to decimate the advancing French knights. Positioned on a defensive terrain, the English forces utilized strategic formations, creating a stronghold that the French struggled to breach. As the battle unfolded, the longbowmen’s lethal volleys caused chaos among the French cavalry, leading to disarray and panic. The English forces launched a counter-attack, resulting in a stunning victory. King John II was captured during the battle, and Poitiers became a significant turning point, boosting English morale and solidifying the Black Prince’s reputation as a formidable military leader in medieval history. The victory had lasting implications for the war, shifting the balance of power. #BattleOfPoitiers #BlackPrince #HundredYearsWar #EdwardTheBlackPrince #FrenchArmy #EnglishVictory #Longbowmen #MedievalHistory #TacticalWarfare #KingJohnII #1356Battle #MedievalCombat #Chivalry #HistoricalBattles #MilitaryTactics #BattlefieldStrategy #EnglishKnights #CapturedKing #WarHistory #EpicBattles #kingsandgenerals
