	Channel 4 - Weapons that made Britain - Armour
		A classic campaign that saw a clash of armour and new developments revealed was at Verneuil in northern France during the closing phase of the Hundred Years War.
		In 1424, John Stewart, the earl of Buchan, led a French force to fight Bedford, whose army was at Ivery, north of Verneuil.
		These knights and their horses were encased in the latest hardened full-plate 'arrow-proof' armour, which would be seeing battle for the first time.

		The traditional narrative of the battle is well-established: the confusion surrounding King Richard III’s camp on the eve of the battle; the inactivity of key parts of his host, notably the earl of Northumberland; Richard’s impetuous charge down Ambion Hill; and the final, decisive intervention of the Stanleys leading to Henry Tudor’s improbable victory.
		Richard’s deliberate approach to the battle can be seen in his pre-battle crown-wearing ritual; not merely with any crown but with the sacred crown of Edward the Confessor, transforming the ritual into a second coronation.
		Richard saw the coming battle as an opportunity to vindicate his kingship and thus would not have taken up a defensive position; moreover, Ambion Hill is simply not large enough for the king to have deployed his host and marshalled his cavalry charge effectively.

	Battle Of Verneuil (1424) - History Forum
		Edward's forces hid amongst the woods where the French cavarly couldn't make an effective charge, and with the English longbows, the chainmail armor of the French at the time was easily pierced through to kill the French opponents.
		It was because of battles like this that the French adopted heavier plate armor, yet often had to stay dismounted off their horses because all of this extra iron weighed their horses down and slowed cavalry charges considerably.
		By the 15th century, it wasn't the adoption of plate armor in battle that was the sole reason for driving the English out of France, it was the adoption and increased use of guns and cannons in battle by the 15th century.
