The next battle chosen for its importance though I have to say I never heard of it !!

The Battle of Bouvines in 1214

On July 12, 1214, Philip II Augustus, the King of France, defeated the combined forces of emperor Otto IV, the count of Flanders, and King John of England, near Bouvines in northern France. For a detailed analysis of this battle, see the Xenophon Group Military History Database. Several sources give detailed accounts of the battle. To key in to the details simply run your mouse over any line and apply it to your web search.

The MET Museum has an astonishing video which is a must see... Please see http://www.metmuseum.org/metmedia/vi...rmor-galleries ... personally I had not realised how easy to move around in was armour... and that a Knight could get on and off his horse unaided...or that Jousting Helms were bolted onto the armour! Please view this remarkable documentary.
