Battle of the Thirty
The
Battle of the Thirty took place in
1351
during the
Hundred
Years' War, in which 30
French
knights from Chateau Josselin chosen by Beaumanoir called out and defeated 30
English knights from the
forces under Pembroke and Brambaugh in a classic example of
chivalry.
Although the battle settled nothing, it became the basis of
troubadour
legends and was retold in the chronicles of
Jean
Froissart.
