The town of Limoges had been under English control but in August 1370 it surrendered to the French, opening its gates to the Duke of Berry. The Siege of Limoges was laid by the English army led by Edward the Black Prince in the second week in September. On 19th September, the town was taken by storm, followed by much destruction and the deaths of numerous civilians. == The attackers == The Anglo-Gascon force was not large but was led by three sons of Edward III; Edward, Prince of Wales, John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, and Edmund of Langley, Earl of Cambridge. Edward was a sick man and was carried on litter. They were accompanied by experienced soldiers John Hastings, Earl of Pembroke, Sir Walter Hewitt, Guichard d'Angle and the Captal de Buch.〔Sumption (2009), p.81〕 The army was small, about 3200 strong, comprising approximately 1000 men-at-arms, 1000 archers and 1200 infantry.
