That army..

I think the difference was that France had no general. French army seemed as good as the Spanish one, but Spain had a 5 stars general.
If France had a general like that, Spain would have got (if possible) a much worse victory and subsequent victories would have been worse or not possible.

Also I think that the siege weapon was the mercenary unit which became available only this turn (something that France couldn't know), as I could see with my turkish army (coming before Spain and France I could see that with my Jihad army)

[Lord Luka]

Yep. And the general in that army was the french king who for some reson decided that this was a good turn to die
