	Famous Historic Battles
		The greatest battles fought by soldiers and warriors who have become infamous and immortal as a result of the great victories they achieved; their bravery, perseverance, determination, cunning, tactics, sacrifices and fortitude have written the stories of their battles and their names on the sand and winds of time.
		The battle was fought in the defile formed by the wood of Agincourt and that of Tramecourt, at the northern exit of which the army under d'Albret, constable of France, had placed itself so as to bar the way to Calais against the English forces which had been campaigning on the Somme.
		The closing scene of the battle was a half-hearted attack made by a body of fugitives, which led merely to the slaughter of the French prisoners, which was ordered by Henry because he had not enough men both to guard them and to meet the attack.

	Royal Tabloid Tales in Evesham
		At the Battle of Evesham in August, 1265, Simon de Montfort, earl of Leicester, held the king, Henry III, captive and cruelly forced him into the battle wearing plain armour so no one would recognise him and come to his aid.
		What remained of his corpse was taken to the Abbey of Evesham where it was buried by the high altar and became a place of pilgrimage.
		It was, the chronicler Robert of Gloucester wrote, "the murder of Evesham, for battle it was none." A plaque, unveiled by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Speaker of the Commons in 1965, now marks the spot where the tomb stood until the abbey was pulled down at the dissolution.

		Therefore, in this way, the line of battle of the barons was pierced and broken; and John de Giffard, a gallant knight, who had been ambitious to gain the honor of striking the first blow, was taken prisoner, and led, away to the castle.
