SANDWICH 1217: Forgotten Naval Battle Series
by Levi, Guy
1-971002
FORGOTTEN BATTLES series: 47 B/W and Color illustrations
In 1217, Prince Louis of France (the future Louis VIII, son of Philippe Auguste and father of Saint Louis) campaigned in England hoping to seize the Crown. The convoy which brought him necessary reinforcements was intercepted at sea, somewhere between Dover, Sandwich, and South Foreland, and never reached the English coast.
This naval battle is one of the first Anglo-French clashes on sea and showed the innovative tactical skill of the English. Also interesting: the French Commander Eustache Le Moine, a former monk who become pirate and war chief, offering his sword for a price.
