That's not the Poitiers that I am familiar with, at, all. Nice diorama though…. |

The one where two small bodies of French MAA charge the openings in the hedges and get shot down. Where the English run out of arrows and have to emerge to counterattack the third French battle, and send a small squadron of mounted troops under Captal DeBuch to make a flanking attack. I don't recall large numbers of yeomen doing a movement to the flank, or a marsh of any significance, etc. This diorama looks more like a combo of Crecy and Halidon Hill, from the English perspective…. |

True, all what you said happened, mostly in the fight against the third battle. But here we show the first French battle charging through the gaps, created by the first attack of the French cavalry Here we have flanked it by some more cavalry and crossbowmen. The English archers made a flanking movement on their left flank because the frontal fire wasn't as effective. I didn't just used English sources, it is better to know both sides. Here for example a German book on the subject link cheers uwe |
