This area was the site of the last battle of the Hundred Years' War, the Battle of Castillon, fought 17 July 1453. The battle in which John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury, charged valiantly but foolishly at the French artillery and was slain at the age of nearly 70, along with his son, John Talbot, 1st Viscount Lisle, and most of the small English force that had gone out to prevent Bordeaux falling to the French king.
