Philip VI instead.

Famous Battles of the War
A typical C15th English longbowman. Dreaded by
the French in the 100 Years War, the fearsome
power of the bow was later turned on fellow
Englishmen during the Wars of the Roses.

major downfall for the
French. Edward III
defeated King Philip VI of
France, leaving 1500
French chivalry dead on
the battle field.
