Jean Bureau was investing the English forces inside Castillion, using artillery to good effect against the town. The Earl of Shrewsbury led an army to relieve the garrison and attacked in column to attempt a breakthrough but in a reverse of Agincourt, French black-powder artillery halted and punished the English men-at-arms, and a French counter-attack broke them.
