Today is the 667th anniversary of the Battle of Crecy.  This was a
significant battle during the 100 years war.  The English soundly defeated
the French in this battle.  Edward, the Black Prince was only around 16 at
this battle and proved to be an effective leader in battle.  He won his
spurs this day.  Also during this battle John, the King of Bohemia was
killed fighting for France.  John was an aging King and was also blind.  He
rode into battle with his horse tied to two of his Knights horses.  He and
all of his followers died in this battle. His emblem was three white
feathers.  Do you think this an heroic deed?
