Most of the Hungarian army вЂ“ which included many nobles вЂ“ was destroyed among the casualties counts the Voivode of Transylvania and the catholic priest that accompanied the King. When Robert saw his best knights being killed, without being able to fight back, while the escape routes were blocked by the Wallachian cavalry, he gave his royal roves and insignia to one of his captains вЂ“ 'who dies under a hail of arrows and stones' вЂ“ and with a few loyal subjects made a difficult escape to Visegrad 'clad in dirty civilian clothes.' Robert later recounted in detail, in a charter of December 13, 1335, how one 'Nicholas', son of a 'Radoslav', saved his life by defending him from the swords of five Wallachian warriors, giving him enough time to escape. The hungarian consisted of very well equiped cavalry, royal knights and other strong units. The Wallachian army, led by Basarab himself, numbered less than 10,000 men and consisted of cavalry, pedestrian archers and some locally recruited peasants and shepherds. The hungarians comed from Timisoara and had a much superior army in numbers, but they were traped in a long valey between two cliffs, and the wallachian archers killed almost the whole army in this ambush. However, Romanian historian Neagu Djuvara denies this and states that the location of the battle would be somewhere at the border between Oltenia and Severin regions. One theory gives the location of the battle at LoviЕџtea, in some mountain gorges, in the valley of Olt, Transylvania.

The location of the battle is still debated among historians. The place of the battle is undiscovered, but is knowed as the battle of Posada. The battle took place in 1330, and the two sides were the wallachians comanded by Basarab I, and the hungarians comanded by the king Charles I Robert of Hungary. The French leaders expected Henry to surrender, while many of the younger French nobles hoped to do battle against the English men-at-arms, intent on ignoring the English archers they deemed beneath them, so they could rip glory and riches by ransoming noble captives from what they believed would be a one-sided battle.What do you think about adding the battle which bought the wallachian independence after a long vassality period agaist Hungary. Henry, knowing waiting would only decimate his army to hunger and disease, was determined to provoke the French out of any possible waiting game. Luckily, Henry was an astute and capable military commander and his men were experienced and disciplined, in contrast with the undisciplined French army. The siege lasted longer than expected so Henry launched a raiding expedition across northern France on his way to the English-held port of Calais, where he would be able to resupply and rest his weary army over the winter. On the 13th of August, 1415, Henry and his army landed at, and beseiged, the port of Harfleur, which surrendered on the 22nd of September.

They also have a separate, smaller army making its way around the English army to attack them from behind.Д«y the time Henry V ascended to the English throne, England had lost a considerable share of the French lands it once held.
