Difference in Englis Force leaders
editHi all, while researching this battle to reference and expand it, I found some conflicting information about the English forces' leader. In the article we say it is John, Duke of Bedford, whereas in other places I find it is:
"Victories continued—in February 1426, Sir Thomas Rempstone with only six hundred men utterly routed a French besieging force estimated at 16,000, during the "Rout of St. James" which occurred at St.-James-de-Beuvron on the Normandy/Brittany border. He suddenly launched a surprise counterattack and the French, commanded by Richemont, fell back in panic and disarray."

If somebody could explain which is right that would be great...Any 100 Years' War history buffs out there?
Thanks much, kindest regards,
