A guidebook to the bloody Battle of Brighton, one of the lesser-known battles of the medieval Hundred Years War between England and France. In 1377 a powerful French fleet landed an army on the beach at Brighton - then a small fishing village known as Brighthelmstone. The village went up in flames and the French stormed inland to loot, plunder, murder and rape. The local militia mustered at Lewes under local knights and set out to attack the French and exact revenge. The climatic battle was fought just to the east of the modern city centre, with part of the battlefield on the open downs which have changed little since 1377, allowing the course fo the fighting to be traced on the ground.
