June 17, 1434. From the top of the walls, the Chevalier d'Estouteville contemplates in the setting sun the expanse of blood reddened sands. It is littered with two thousand corpses of English soldiers who, since dawn, had launched an assault on the Mount.

For thirty years the "godons" besieged the fortress.

Louis d'Estouteville has been in command of the Montoise resistance for nine years. He has at his side his wife, Jeanne Paisnel, daughter of the previous governor, Lord of Bricquebec, and one hundred and eighteen other knights who, like him, have sworn to keep this place for the King of France or to perish buried under its debris.

At daybreak, twenty thousand English tried to rush into a breach opened by their formidable artillery. With energy, the knights and the thousand soldiers locked in the stronghold cut them to pieces and pursued on the strikes with the cry of Saint-Michel. They know they have won a decisive battle. The English will forever give up seizing the Wonder.

The Hundred Years War is coming to an end. Louis d'Estouteville, who has already distinguished himself by taking Tombelaine and Granville, will soon bring down Saint-James and Avranches. In the meantime, his men recover the abandoned English cannons, two of which can still be seen at the entrance to the Mount.

Mont-Saint-Michel had no strategic interest, but, since 1423, but was the symbol of resistance to the occupier.

As early as 1427, the names of the knights had been engraved in the Basilica.
