An English force, led by Thomas de Grandison was defeated beneath the walls of the castle on 4 December 1370, by a French force led by Bertrand du Guesclin and Jean IV de Mauquenchy, during the Hundred Years' War.[1] Among the French casualties was the marshal, Arnoul d'Audrehem, who was mortally wounded. The English force was almost wiped out. Grandison, Philip Courtenay and Hugh Despenser, were captured.[2]
