12 h 2 fev 1047 ano - Battle of Val-es-Dunes
Descrição:
The combined French and Norman forces eventually gained the upper hand in the battle against the Norman rebels from western Normandy, whether because of a defection by Ralph Taisson on the eve of battle, or some other reason. Those fugitives who were not cut down by their pursuers drowned as they tried to re-cross the Orne. According to Wace, the mills downriver came to a standstill, so great was the number of bodies. Guy of Brionne holes himself up in his castle at Brionne.
