SUMMARY:The Relief of Orleans 1429
DESCRIPTION:The NHSA is honoured to welcome the leading medieval military historian\, Dr. Matthew Bennett FRSA\, as our speaker for this event in which we study one of the most famous victories of French forces in the Hundred Years War: the Relief of Orleans in 1429 by Joan of Arc.

He will also be discussing siege tactics and missile weaponry: bows\, crossbows and artillery and the effectiveness of armour against them. His many publications include: ‘Manuals of Warfare and Chivalry’\, in Companion to Chivalry; “Agincourt 1415: Triumph against the Odds” and “Fighting Techniques of the Medieval World”.

The Siege of Orleans represents both aspects of her short career. \nThe talk will take place at 9.15 am on Saturday 13 January 2024 at 24 Kingfisher Court\, Newbury RG14 5SJ and will be accompanied by a simulation of the siege and relief. \nPlease contact Philip Marshall on 07946 041733 if you would like to attend. \n
