MONT-SAINT-JEAN 6–7 July 1794 The French Victory at Waterloo
Out of stock
While everyone knows the Battle of Waterloo, or Mont-Saint-Jean, in 1815, few people know that this site had already seen French and Coalition armies clash in July 1794.

ÎLE DE RÉ – July–November 1627 – The Duke of Buckingham Defeated at Saint-Martin-de-Ré
In stock

NAVAL OPERATIONS IN THE HUNDRED YEARS' WAR
In stock
Crécy, Poitiers, Agincourt… the history of the Hundred Years' War as it is taught is punctuated solely by great land battles, chevauchées across France, and sieges of towns and fortresses.

Out of stock
June 1815. It is nearly three months since the Emperor returned to Paris.
