brossinière or battle of la gravelle french la besoigne de la brossinière was a battle of the hundred years war on 26 september 1423 it occurred at la brossinière commune of bourgon mayenne between the forces of england and france shortly after hostilities had resumed following the battle of agincourt 1415 the english force commanded by sir john de la pole brother of william de la pole earl of suffolk which had returned to normandy after a pillaging expedition to anjou and maine suffered a crushing defeat chronique de la pucelle reports that there were great deeds of arms done 1 and that the english were beaten in the field and there were fourteen to fifteen hundred killed 2 background edit the battle of agincourt had been particularly damaging for the nobility of the region after this battle the english regent john duke of bedford given the titles of duke of anjou and count of maine ordered a systematic conquest though this was not effected without resistance in september 1423 john de la pole left normandy with 2000 soldiers and 800 archers to go raiding in maine and anjou 3 he seized segré and there mustered a huge collection of loot and a herd of 1 200 bulls and cows before setting off to return to normandy taking hostages as he went queen yolande of aragon mother in law to charles vii of france who was in her town of angers had the first thought of avenging the affront and the damage to her county and gave orders for such a mission to the most valiant of the french king s partisans ambroise de loré who had been commander of sainte suzanne since 1422 knowing that john viii of harcourt count of aumale and governor of touraine anjou and maine was then in tours and preparing an expedition into normandy amboise despatched a message to aumale by letter the governor came in haste to laval bringing the troops he had already gathered and summoning men from all the lands he passed through 4 prelude edit the promptest and best armed response came from the baron of coulonges whose services were accepted despite his current disgrace with the governor who merely enjoined coulonges not to present himself to him this whole concentration of force was all gathered together very rapidly d aumale had not yet arrived in laval on friday 24 september but set off again as early as the saturday morning on his way to take up a position on the road to follow the english sending scouts to keep an eye on their march and to inform him of it exactly it was early at the le bourgneuf la forêt from which he sent word to anne de laval at vitré to pray her that she would send him the army of her sons named andré of lohéac then a young man of twelve years which she did very willingly and sent him to accompany it master guy xiv de laval lord of mont jean and all the people of the seigneurie of laval with several other of their vassals that she could recover and bring in promptly from other parts 5 aumale then took counsel from the bastard of alençon the sire de mont jean louis of trémigon and ambroise of loré he appraised them that the english were three leagues off and that they would pass la brossinière following the main road from brittany the following sunday morning 6 in total wavrin states the french army as 6 000 strong both men at arms and common soldiers but his claims are disputed as his chronicle is deemed untrustworthy 7 8 battlefield edit the battle was fought on the former chemin gravelais or chemin du roy as it was referred to in 1454 a famous ancient road built to speed up the journey time for carriages between anjou and normandy 9 battle edit two hours after the troops had been drawn up in battle order the english scouts who were giving chase arrived and met the french skirmishers the scouts ran them down and forced them to withdraw into the line of battle where they stood their ground the english could no longer pursue them since a massed body of cavalry was in front of them withdrawing towards the count of aumale they were only a bowshot away when the troops revealed themselves the english with a long baggage train but marching in good order emplaced great stakes behind which they could retire in case of cavalry attack the infantry moved to the front and the convoy of carts and troops closed the route to the rear trémigon loré and coulonges wanted to make an attempt on the defences but they were too strong they turned and attacked the english in the flank who were broken and cornered against a large ditch losing their order the foot soldiers then advanced and fought hand to hand the english were unable to withstand the attack for long 10 the result was a butchery in which 1 200 to 1 400 men of the english forces perished on the field with 2 300 killed in the pursuit others including sir john de la pole thomas aubourg and thomas cliffeton surrendered only 120 got away on the french side only a single knight was lost john le roux and a few others of no title peu d autres 11 the 16 year old andré of lohéac the future marshal of france was knighted with several of his companions 12 the lady of laval had the dead buried aftermath edit aumale moved into normandy laid siege to avranches and looted the suburbs of saint lô 3 an english relief army advanced on his position and forced him to abandon the siege 3 notes edit cousinot 1859 p 217 il y eut de grandes

was concluded that the governor the bastard of alençon and guy de laval would proceed on foot and put their troops in line of battle at la brossinière while loré trémigon those that were allowed to
