Battle of Auray

The decisive cavalry charge at the Battle of Auray, where Anglo-Breton forces led by John Chandos break the Franco-Breton lines, culminating in the death of Charles of Blois.

Setting

Marshy battlefield near Auray castle, with trampled reeds, deep mud pits, and scattered bodies of fallen soldiers. The ground is uneven, churned by hooves and boots, with patches of standing water reflecting the grey sky. The castle looms in the distance, its stone walls darkened by the damp air.

TNGF

SELECTED

John Chandos

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s, with a weathered face marked by years of campaigning. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey, tied back in a practical warrior's knot. His piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with strategic precision. A deep scar runs from his left temple to cheekbone, a testament to past battles.

Charles of Blois

primary

A middle-aged Franco-Breton commander in his late 40s, with a gaunt face marked by years of campaigning. His once-imposing frame is now slightly stooped from fatigue, with deep-set eyes that burn with fervent determination. His dark hair is streaked with grey and plastered to his forehead with sweat and blood.

Squire

secondary

A young man in his late teens or early twenties, with a lean but strong build from years of training. His face is smeared with mud and sweat, his short brown hair plastered to his forehead. His eyes are wide with fear and determination, his jaw clenched tightly.

Breton Knight

secondary

A battle-hardened Anglo-Breton cavalryman in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of combat training. His face is partially obscured by a raised visor, revealing a strong jawline and a deep scar running from his left temple to cheekbone. His steel-grey eyes are focused intently on his target, Charles of Blois. His armor is dented and mud-splattered from the fierce fighting.

Standard Bearer

background

A young Franco-Breton soldier, approximately 20 years old, with a wiry build and sunken cheeks from exhaustion. His face is streaked with mud and sweat, and his eyes are wide with desperation. His hands are blistered from gripping the banner pole too tightly.

Dialog

John Chandos Par le sang Dieu, their line breaks! Press the charge now, and let this day be done!

Charles of Blois Deus vult! Stand fast, men of Brittany! Would you have Christ see you flee like curs?

John Chandos Yield, my lord Charles. Your cause is lost, but your soul need not be.

Charles of Blois Never to you, Chandos! I answer only to God and my rightful claim!

John Chandos Then may Saint Michael weigh your deeds fairly when you meet him.

Charles of Blois Par...par le sang du Christ...I die...a prince...not...a prisoner...

John Chandos See the banner lowered with honor. Let no man mock the fallen today.
