The '''Battle of Meung-sur-Loire''' took place on 15 June 1429, and followed the [[Battle of Jargeau]]. The battle was the second major offensive in the French army's {{Wiki|Loire Campaign}} as part of the [[Hundred Years' War]].

==Background==
Having already achieved notable victories at the [[Siege of Orléans]] and the Battle of Jargeau, Jeanne d'Arc's army, numbering around seven thousand troops, moved to confront the English. The French focused on the bridge fortifications at [[Meung-sur-Loire]], seeking to disrupt the English control of key river crossings.<ref name="ACH Ch26"/> This campaign was part of the Dauphin [[Charles VII of France|Charles]]' broader efforts to reclaim territory in the region.<ref name="WP"/>

==Battle==
The walled town held a castle within, which was the headquarters of [[John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury]] and [[Thomas Scales, 7th Baron Scales]].<ref name="WP">{{WP|Battle of Meung-sur-Loire}}</ref> The battle unfolded as a swift, single-day engagement in which Jeanne d'Arc's commanded troops strategically and tactically bypassed the castle and the city, directing their efforts towards a determined assault on the bridge fortifications. Successfully securing control of the bridge, the French strategically left a garrison in place to ensure its uselessness to the English forces. Undeterred by the triumph at Meung-sur-Loire, Joan's forces swiftly pivoted their focus to the next objective, pressing forward with their campaign by advancing directly towards the city of [[Beaugency]].<ref name="ACH Ch26">''[[Assassin's Creed: Heresy]]'' – Chapter 26</ref>
