The English Army that fought at the Battle of Guinegate were Provided by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, Wolsey was also responsible for the strategy used to defeat the French. The English forces included cavalry,artillery, infantry and longbows using hardened steel arrows designed to penetrate armour more effectively. The French forces were mostly companies of gendarmes and pikemen.
Called "Battle of the Spurs" because of the haste of the French to leave the battlefield, it took place at Guinegate (now "Enguinegatte", France). According to myth there was no actual battle, the English only saw the spurs of the fleeing French cavalry.
at the end of the battle the citys of therouanne and tournai were in the hands of Henry VIII of England
