The Battle of the Thirty (March 1351)
was an episode in the struggle for the succession to the duchy of Brittany. It was fought between thirty champions, knights and squires on each side, in a challenge issued by Jean de Beaumanoir, a captain of Charles of Blois supported by the king of France, to Robert Bramborough, a captain of Jean de Montfort supported by the king of England. 12 of the thirty were killed while of the rest all but one was seriously wounded....the Bretons/France 'won' |
