1346 Battle of Crecy, Hundred Years War

After the Battle of Sluys in 1340, King Edward III of England returned to England where he had three million arrows manufactured as well as new silver coins minted and all other kinds of war materials prepared. He planned to invade France, and this time to get off the boats. Most sources agree that he also brought several primitive cannons that probably fired stones or iron shot.
