European war 7 medieval : "Battle of Castillon". Part 2.
Title: Battle of Castillon 1453 – The End of an Era... The Battle of Castillon — 17 July 1453. The final clash of the Hundred Years' War. English veteran John Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, led 1,300 men against a fortified French artillery camp near Bordeaux. Outnumbered. Outgunned. He attacked anyway — and died with his son under a storm of cannon fire. With him fell English Gascony — and England's 300-year dream of ruling France. Castillon wasn't just a battle — it was the triumph of gunpowder over chivalry.
