Marignan 2015 - the battle


OK, so you've been wondering what about the battle, so here it starts.  The smoke is from the cannon fire and boy was it loud.  There were warriors representing both the French and Swiss troops of course.  The simulated battle was very well choreographed and did a wonderful job of showing what hand to hand combat was like back then.  Fortunately, the French won again this time.

  2. Those pikes really are big. The uniforms stand out well.
