Cravant, battle of
Cravant, battle of, 1423. In the summer of 1423, the earl of Salisbury with his Burgundian allies marched to relieve Cravant on the river Yonne in France, gateway to Dijon and Burgundy. The besiegers, led by Buchan, constable of France, were caught on 1 August between the garrison, making a sortie, and Salisbury's men, and badly defeated. The victory represented a recovery after the death of Clarence at Baugé and the death in 1422 of Henry V while campaigning.
