Castillon itself is famous for the battle there in 1453 between English and French armies which was a decisive French victory (unlike like last night's rugby) and is regarded as the end of the Hundred Years' War with all of the French territories won by Henry V then back in French hands with the exception of Calais and the Channel Islands. Historians also speculate that it was the news of this crushing defeat that led to Henry VI's loss of mental capacity later that year which triggered the unrest that led to the Wars of the Roses. So now you know just how significant Castillon is...
Free history lesson too eh? You'll need a glass now...
