Editing Les Tourelles

{{Era|Locations}}
The '''Les Tourelles''' was one of the fortified towers and gatehouses of [[Orléans]], France.

==History==
By the end of the [[Siege of Orléans]], the tower was under the command of the [[England|English]] captain [[William Glasdale]], who vowed to kill everyone in the city.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Heresy]]'' — Chapter 19</ref> On 7 May 1429, the English [[soldier]]s stood strong and fortified the boulevards more but the French aimed their artillery at the palisades. With the debris and dying soldiers becoming the foundation of a makeshift bridge, the French led by [[Jeanne d'Arc]] started to climb against the wall until Jeanne was hit by a crossbow. Initially injured, she was carried off until she took out the bolt herself. After a temporary setback, Jeanne came back out to fight and unleashed her [[Sword of Eden 1|sword]] while a big explosion occurred.<ref name="CH23">''[[Assassin's Creed: Heresy]]'' — Chapter 23</ref>

With a boulevard destroyed, Jeanne led the soldiers and the people of Orléans against the remaining English soldiers. While most of the English fled, the rest offered their surrender. Jeanne recovered her heralds [[Ambleville (herald)|Ambleville]] and [[Guyenne (herald)|Guyenne]] while she explained she planned a charge under the drawbridge, which led to the death of Glasdale himself. From this victory, the French claimed Les Tourelles.<ref name="CH23"/>
