Siege of Bordeaux

1452

Charles VII's army besieged the last English stronghold in Aquitaine. The French had already entered Gascony once and been briefly expelled. This time the siege held. The next year, Castillon would finish the English presence in France. The Gascon wine merchants who had shipped to Bristol for centuries were now trading across a closed border.
