The Battle of Formigny, fought on 15 April 1450, was a major battle of the Hundred Years' War between England and France. A decisive French victory that destroyed the last significant English field army in Normandy, it paved the way for the capture of their remaining strongholds.[2][3]
Although artillery had been used in siege warfare since the early 14th century, Formigny is thought to be the first major European engagement where it was present on the battlefield.
