		In the battle, which began as a siege, duke John V of Brittany helped by English forces commanded by Sir John Chandos, defeated his rival Charles of Blois, seconded by the French.
		He decided to adopt a course of action in battle that is almost unprecedented in that era: he would fall back into the woods less than hundred yards in rear, and form what we now call a hedgehog, a defensive line along the edge of the wood and facing in all directions.
		The battle of Morlaix was the first pitched battle on land of the hundred years war, and it made a deep impression at the time.

	Battle of Morlaix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Morlaix was fought in 1342 between England and France.
		This absence of contemporary interest is possibly because the battle was indecisive and also because Brittany was somewhat of a backwater removed from the main action of the courts and armies of Edward III and Philip VI.
		He would have had to leave some behind to contain the Morlaix garrison so almost certainly his numbers would have been less than the French but all the figures are all from English sources and thus, for the French, probably an overestimation (the larger the force you defeat the greater the glory).

		Edward's motives were primarily those of self-aggrandizement, and he was not a particularly talented battle leader, commanding the Reserve division at Crecy, which meant that he stayed out of the fight and watched it from a tall windmill (rebuilt in our time as an observation tower for tourists).
		Morlaix was the first English victory in France, other than in English-held Gascony, since Richard the Lion-Heart's campaigns.
		He was in fact the lead commander of the Second, since his colleague was the Earl of Arundel, a mediocre soldier whose personal scandals had made him unpopular with other magnates, but who had to be placated since his vast wealth helped to finance the invasion and the king was deeply indebted to him.

		They were unable to stand the deck; but the fire of their cannon, especially the lower battery, which was entirely formed of ten-pounders, was incessant; both ships was entirely formed of ten-pounders, was incessant; both ships were set on fire in various places, and the scene was dreadful beyond the reach of language.
		At the time when the enemy’s fire began to slacken, it was discovered that most of the battle lanterns were extinguished, and that the crew had fled from their stations.
		He had been in thirteen battles in the army and navy, was frequently wounded, and often taken prisoner; which was the only thing that ever withdrew him, for a moment, from active and honourable engagement in the service.

	Review: Infantry Warfare in the 14th Century
		Seventeen battles is enough to be seductive, and I found myself constantly impressed with the quality of research that had been put into the work.
		I wondered how he would argue for the other set-piece battles of the period (the book is scrupulously honest in that it treats battles where both sides were drawn up ready for fighting, not including ambushes where one side was caught unawares), which so richly populate the era.
		I noticed that in each battle the defending generals were careful to select and if possible prepare ground, using this and (sometimes) archers to break up the enemy charge.

	Bernard of Morlaix - CONCLUSION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The index confuses Bernard of Morlaix with Bernard of Cluny, the author of the Ordo Cluniacensis.
		A study of the works of Bernard of Morlaix certainly confirms Southern's view that the twelfth century saw a large and complex activity in literature, learning and the arts which drew on many sources, yet expressed an outlook which one feels at once to be new and subtly yet unmistakably coherent.
		Bernard of Morlaix, who may have hailed from Morley in Norfolk, was a monk at the Cluniac priory of Saint-Denis de Nogent-le-Rotrou, where he may have been prior from about 1120 to 1160.

		The Germans had been forced into a defensive battle, their reserves were being committed piecemeal, and lack of replacements brought a thinning of the front which, without speedy reinforcement, meant the German line must ultimately collapse.

	Edward III and the English aristocracy at the beginning of the Hundred Years War
		[46] However, at the time of the battle of Morlaix on 30 September 1342, Northampton probably had about 1,100 troops from England at his disposal (with roughly equal numbers of men-at-arms and mounted archers), plus an indeterminate number of Bretons.
		In part, this was achieved by the acquisition of permanent retainers, such as we see in the agreement between the earl of Northampton and Sir William Tallemache on the eve of the battle of Sluys.
		If some of the earls, notably Arundel and Huntingdon, were directly involved in only one of the early French campaigns (in their case, the battle of Sluys), it cannot be doubted that they supported the king's war in a variety of other ways.
