Following the English rout at Formigny in April, the incompetent Edmund Beaufort Duke of Somerset withdrew under siege to Caen. With no hope of relief, Somerset surrendered after three weeks to the huge French army of Count Arthur of Richemont and Count Charles of Clermont. The fall of Caen, followed by Cherbourg, ended English presence in Normandy.
