Siege of Calais (1348)
The 1348 siege of Calais began before dawn on December 31, 1348 and ended later that morning. This siege was the result of a secret arrangement for Sir Geoffrey de Charney, a French knight, to purchase Calais from Sir Aymery de Pavia, the English-appointed Governor of Calais. Sir Geoffrey gathered a cavalry to take control of the town in December of that year, and King Edward III of England discovered the plot and brought an army from England and prevented the takeover.
==Background==
the English took control of Calais following a siege in 1346. King Edward III appointed as Governor of Calais a Lombard whom he had known and trusted for many years, Sir Aymery de Pavia. In 1348, Aymery conspired with Sir Geoffrey de Charney, a French knight, to sell Calais to him for 20,000 crowns. When Edward discovered the plot, he summoned Aymery to England and confronted him. Aymery begged for leniency and informed the king that no money had yet been delivered and that Calais was still under his control. Edward commanded Aymery to keep his bargain and inform the king when the deal would be done.
