The death of Sir John Chandos in 1369 during a skirmish with the French. He was medieval English knight and close friend of Edward, the Black Prince and a founding member and 19th Knight of the Order of the Garter in 1348. Described by the medieval historian Froissart as "wise and full of devices", as a military strategist Chandos is believed to have been the mastermind behind three of the most important English victories of the Hundred Years War: the Battle of Crécy, the Battle of Poitiers and the Battle of Auray.
