		Kyriell turned east towards Bayeux, reaching the village of Formigny on April 14.
		This is rather difficult to judge, contemporary accounts are dubious and it can be seen that the arrival of the Breton army of Arthur de Richemont, future duke of Brittany, Arthur III, with his powerful force of cavalry to the rear of the English was more significant.
		The cannon may have been decisive, not so much for the effect they had themselves, but in that they alerted Richemont to the fact that there was a battle going on, and so caused his appearance on the field.

	Battle of Castillon (1453)
		The battle is one of the first battles in Western Europe where guns certainly decide the issue.
		One might conclude from the earlier battle of Formigny (1450) that the guns of this era had longer effective range than the longbow, so that, if properly directed, they should prevail in a position-to-position battle.
		Typical of how the battle has been remembered in many French accounts is the only monument at the site of the battle is one to the fallen English commander, Talbot.
