| | Battle of Patay Sword (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | The Maid of Orleans gave rise to a new feeling of French nationalism, and that was to be the undoing of the English, even with Joan being burned as a witch. |
 | | We have named this sword after the Battle of Patay, which was a small but very bloody skirmish. |
 | | Attacking quickly, giving the English no time to form a line of battle, the French smashed in and closed for some very bloody hand-to-hand combat, where sword, axe, mace and halberd played a major role. |
