Battle of Auray

Significance

The Battle of Auray, fought at the Breton town of Auray, is recorded in this context as a confrontation during the Chouannerie period, though the supplied overview identifies it primarily as the decisive confrontation of the Breton War of Succession within the Hundred Years' War. The force disparity recorded here — 8,000 Chouans against 1,550 Imperial French troops — with Imperial casualties of 185 against Chouan losses of 100 suggests an engagement in which the numerically superior Chouan force sustained fewer losses despite facing a smaller regular force. Beyond these figures and the location at Auray, the available record does not support further characterization of the battle's effect on the Chouannerie campaign or its wider consequences.
