		Crécy was a battle in which an English army of approximately 12,000, commanded by Edward III of England, outnumbered by Philip VI of France's force of between 30,000 and 40,000, was victorious as a direct consequence of superior weaponry and tactics.
		The battle is seen by many historians as the beginning of the end of chivalry, because during the course of the battle many of the prisoners and wounded were dispatched contrary to chivalric codes of warfare, and the illustrious noble cavalry was no longer undefeatable by infantry.
		The prelude to the battle of Crécy is the subject of a poem by the 19th century English poet William Morris, The Eve of Crécy.

	Battle of Crécy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was a battle where the effectiveness of the English longbow, used en masse, was proven against armoured knights, against the conventional wisdom of the day which held archers firing on armor would have little effect and be butchered when the armored units closed.
		As in later battles, where the longbowmen could not as easily penetrate the knights' much-improved armor, they also found flank areas of the opposition's horses which were unprotected and killed or disabled the mounts, leaving the knights floundering helplessly on foot.
		The battle is seen by many historians as the beginning of the end of chivalry; because during the course of the battle, many of the prisoners and wounded were killed.
