Siege of Calais (1346–1347)

  • ... that the largest English army to serve overseas prior to 1600 was gathered at the Siege of Calais in 1347? Source: Sumption, Jonathan (1990). Trial by Battle. The Hundred Years' War. I. London: Faber and Faber. ISBN 978-0571200955. P. 578.

Improved to Good Article status by Gog the Mild (talk). Self-nominated at 12:00, 11 May 2019 (UTC).

  • Symbol voting keep.svg. Good on all counts. AGF for offline sources. I think either ALT is fine, both are interesting.

Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.

  • Came to promote, but I'm wondering about what feels to me like a minor language tweak -- would it be incorrect to say "gathered for the Siege of Calais" rather than gathered at? "Gathered at" sounds off to me, as a siege isn't a place, but I don't want tweak that if there was some reason for using "at". --valereee (talk) 13:00, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
Template:Ping I am not too bothered. “for” is ok. My reasoning for using “at” was to represent that that was where the number was achieved.
