	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.
