Altre informazioni

"Crécy was a battle in which an English army of 12, 000 to 16, 000 (depending on source), commanded by Edward III of England and heavily outnumbered by Philip VI of France's force of 35, 000 to 100, 000 (depending on source), was victorious as a result of superior weaponry and tactics, demonstrating the importance of the modern military concept of fire power. The effectiveness of the English longbow, used en masse, was proven against armoured knights, contrary to the conventional wisdom of the day which held that archers would be ineffective and be butchered when the armoured units closed in."
