Talk:Battle of Cassel (1347)

French leader
Hi, I was wondering who your source was for the French commander? Sumption says that he was Charles of Spain. Gog the Mild (talk) 19:53, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * - to be honest I cannot remember. I did a search and the following list leader as John:
 * A complete history of England, Volume 2, Tobias George Smollett, 1758. page 471.
 * Volume 2 of The Acts and Monuments of John Foxe: a New and Complete Edition: with a Preliminary Dissertation, by the Rev. George Townsend, Stephen Reed Cattley. John Foxe. R. B. Seeley and W. Burnside, 1837. page 699.
 * These are both old sources and maybe a note needs to be added to show the differing identification of leader of French forces. A French source would be good to find. I would also be interested in who led the English relief force. Regards Newm30 (talk) 23:23, 4 May 2019 (UTC)


 * It seems unlikely that it was John, he had a major argument with his father and wasn't attending court. Charles was the new Constable (senior military official) and so he is who one would expect to be leading the force.
 * Notwithstanding, if you have a source for John, you should use it to cite his mention in the infobox.
 * What "English relief force"?
