      @@tomh4754 - She was ambushed and captured, yes. But she wasn't even captured by the Brits. She stayed behind in rearguard action to let her ambushed army get away from the Burgundians. It's not like she was "defeated" in the style of the lopsided victories that Dehaan is referencing. We're talking nearly a century later.
      Crecy and similar were early on in the 100 years war. Jeanne came towards the end. She was the beginning of the end for the Brits, executed or not. By the time she died, the French were breaking the sieges of their cities and forcing the English to hide in their castles, and then forcing surrenders with cannon. Those same Burgundians switched sides soon after, and it was goodnight for England.

      @@tomh4754 - You're right, I should have just said Crecy (and/or Poitiers). I will amend that one. Be that as it may, the rest of what I said is correct. Jeanne was never involved in the sort of mass-longbow lopsided English victory being referenced. It _definitely_ wasn't her downfall, which ultimately wasn't even England's doing, but Burgundy's. And by her death, England was as good as cooked. They did not have the means to continue projecting any sort of sufficient power alone across the channel, and once the Burgundians realized that, they were gone.

      @@xhawkenx633 Huskarls and rams with a bunch of infantry inside maybe. But otherwise, as viper said, even SO the traditional counter can't approach due to their range. The only real counter is to counterattack like his opp did, he just didn't have enough army. Longbow can't be everywhere at once so raiding is best counter.
      Otherwise, against 150 longbow, probably 80 frank paladin can do the job. And that's about the only counter, besides huskarls.
