His name was Vincent mortelgart.
His hair brown and with his steel blue eyes he could have gone through for any normal French young man had it not been for the tremendous amount of charisma… energy surrounding this man. He simply radiated great deeds to come. Just his lone appearance was an inspiring event to any man.

Even though his presence was inspiring, it was little compared to the sight of Vincent’s mastery of the sword. Being born in a small village close to the border of land belonging to the rebellious duchy of Burgundy his hometown had not been a stranger to conflict.
Many times did wary burgundian soldiers found themselves laughingly but somehow disturbed facing but a 15 year old and a sword.
The nervous fun mood surrounding these encounters changed quickly after the boy decapitated and struck down those daring to assail him single-handedly.
All that remained of vincent’s first encounter with the sword had been the 5 meters behind him filled with the bodies of 14 burgundian soldiers, some of them still busy taking their last breath. He didn’t knew how… or what but something inside him was awoken by this contact with the sword… realizing that his performance had been perfect, dodging their every move and making deadly use of his foe’s weak spots.. They never stood a chance.

It’s been five years since vincents first use of the sword.. And the pleasure that he received from being seen as a warrior champion felt good , but it brought the desire for more..
Vincent had been born in a poor , peasant family with a small lap of own ground.
But his father had been a wise man , having recognized that Vincent was meant for greater things then the harvest of summer and the fruits of spring.. he taught him to read and write on an early age, a rare treat for peasants.

On the age of 18 vincent had joined the armee du roi to do what he could do best.
To fight. Even though the officer ranks had been the privilege of the sons of the rich, vincents superiors had seen a light in his young personality. You didn’t have to be of old age and battles of long gone to be able to see that there was something about Vincent.

The way he wielded his sword in the field, every single blow dealt to the enemy had been a little artwork, lifting the hearts of those around him with courage and ableness , for Vincent fought at their side.
Vincent had been given a regiment of 500 men of his majesty’s force and personally retook the town of arras during the arras rising of march 1453. , when he successfully held of a force of 4000 brabant troops with his mere 1400 men during the 1454-55 war , slaughtering the enemy , crashing their moral and sending them home with tales of death, he was promoted to
Brigadier.

It is now 1456 and France somehow found a way out of her 100-year lasting nightmare , somewhere around the same time of vincents birth....

Taking artois , franche comte and Flanders in 2 utterly successful campaigns against the traitor duchy of Burgundy forcing it into a separate peace treaty with France in 1433.
The victories in the west had been aplenty either in that glorious year, French armies managed to break through the English siege at Orleans, while 2 fresh armies secured the province of Calais , picardie and caux.The English king had not been a foolish man , spotting the loss of his advantage in time and realizing that the tide had turned, it occurred not only in his nightmares that this man was faced with british defeats and French forces slowly advanced into Brittany’s direction. England offered France the peace in which Calais, caux and picardie rejoined the French Kingdom in 1433. But this peace did not stand beyond the great year of 1434 when the battle of Gascogne (England 16000 , Brittany 9000 – France 14000) turned into a mayor victory for France. Causing the English to retreat their remaining expeditionary forces to poitiers for reorganization and to search for ways to deal with this change in their eternal opponent. For some reason the French had not been the same foe they had fought for so long.

The armee du roi however used this English redirection to poitiers maximally, overrunning the English at their last save havens in the north , the province of Normandy was lost.
These strongholds had been the only thing in the way of a French offensive on Brittany , which was now slowly getting underway.
Brittany however had spent most of its armies in attempts to gain the French province of vendee but due to defeat in 1429 (at nantes) and the mayor defeat at gascogne in 1434 forced them to retreat their forces to hold the enemy in the northwest.
This left their king little more then to aim all his resources on a victory at Rennes.
And so in the winter of 34/35 the French Commanders faced a problem.

In Poitiers, the English had been able to regroup their forces into an able army of an estimated 12000 man infantry and over 5000 cavalry. The English had realized that the French army at Toulouse of 9000 infantry and a 1000 cavalry would not be able to hold them, a victory there would leave the rich southern provinces of france undefended and might lead to a reestablished alliance with burgundy.

France’s main army had been marching on rennes where brittany’s remaining forces desperately tried to hold against France’s armee du roi measuring an 34000 infantry and 19000 cavalry with superior tech.
The winter of 34/35 kicked in very strong and the English dugg in at poitiers prolonging their offensive on Toulouse for the spring months.

It was in this moment that the French offensive on armor bursted out and led to a catastrophic defeat for Brittany. Only a mere 5000 men got away alive from rennes, while the French took rennes , brest and when in February nantes fell to the armee du roi Brittany surrendered to France’s demands. ‘‘You shall pay half your income to France and the blue flag will wave over armor and bretagne, you are never to fight alongside any foe of France evermore’’

Sealing England’s fate in vendee in summer of 1435 had not been hard.. and with a harsh effort England’s king sealed his peace offer , in which the nations of England en France concluded peace under the terms of poitiers, gascogne and Normandy to france.
This event itself meant the end of any great English ambitions in Europe. Though the English had fought gallantly, their forces were heavily decimated and the war costs had been massive.
This new France somehow managed to face impossible odds and come out of it stronger.
Its economy renewed , the spirit of the people refreshed. Great things were about to happen for the people of France.
