Description

As the French continued to attack in the Loire Valley, the English garrison of Beaugency suspected that they had been abandoned. They left the town and moved off without expecting the French to be so close or to pursue them, even so they took the usual precautions for a march through hostile territory. The French pursued closely but carefully, determined that this time an English army would not get the chance to choose defensive ground of their own liking and that their own forces would not enter the fight in a piecemeal fashion to be shot down by longbowmen. The whole French force succeeded in catching the English before they could set a defensive position, and battle was joined.
