Battle of Cravant: England Defeats France in the Hundred Years' War
English and Burgundian forces routed a French army at Cravant on the banks of the Yonne River, capturing the French commander and killing thousands of Scottish mercenaries fighting alongside them. The victory secured Burgundy's alliance with England and tightened the noose around the Dauphin's diminishing territory in central France. English dominance of the Hundred Years' War reached its peak in the years following Cravant.
