Battle of the Thirty
The
Battle of the Thirty took place in
1351 during the
Hundred Years' War, in which 30
French knights from Chateau Josselin chosen by Beaumanoir called out and defeated 30
English knights from the forces under Pembroke and Brambaugh
in a classic example of
chivalry. Although the battle settled nothing, it became the basis of
troubadour legends and was retold in the chronicles of
Jean Froissart.
