Battle of Patay
June 18, 1429
Joan of Arc's forces caught the English army of Talbot and Fastolf still deploying from the march and overran them. John Talbot was captured; the English field army in the Loire was annihilated. It was the reverse of Agincourt in every respect, and it proved that Joan's resurgence was military, not merely spiritual.
