Talk:Treaty of Brétigny

Hailstorm
Was the treaty provoked by a hailstorm? On May 8 1360 a hailstorm caught Edward's army between Paris and Chartres. ''It seemed as if the world were come to an end. giant hailstones killed men and horses, and even the most courageous were terrified'', according to Sir John Froissart. The king was, apparently "so affected that 'he vowed to the virgin that he would conclude a peace'. This is in Frank W Lane's The Elements Rage (David & Charles 1966), pp. 75-76.

Maps Ambiguity
The two maps shown on right both bear the same caption, "France After the Treaty," but they are significantly different. I can't help but think that the one on the top should say, "France Before the Treaty," since the bottom one shows a much larger area under English control. Can anyone with knowledge of this subject clear this up? --Tdimhcs (talk) 07:33, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
