Battle of Verneuil

August 17, 1424

The Duke of Bedford crushed a Franco-Scottish army in a second Agincourt, killing nearly every Scot on the field. It was the high-water mark of English France. Within five years, a peasant girl would arrive at Chinon and begin reversing every gain. The Scots bore the heaviest losses, with the Earls of Buchan and Douglas killed, ending Scotland's military intervention in the war.
