Battle of La Brossiniere
1423
Franco-Scottish forces ambushed and destroyed an English detachment in Maine. The skirmish was minor in scale but marked the first significant French success since Agincourt. It foreshadowed the pattern of small-scale attritional warfare that would gradually exhaust the English occupation over the next three decades. The engagement showed that French forces, properly led on favorable ground, could overcome the longbow advantage haunting them since Crecy.
