[PAR] [TLE] Battle of Verneuil [SEP] The Battle of Verneuil was a strategically important battle of the Hundred Years' War, fought on 17 August 1424 near Verneuil in Normandy and a significant English victory.  It was a particularly bloody battle, described by the English as a second Agincourt.  Altogether some 7262 French and allied troops were killed, including 4000 Scots.  English losses were 1600, including two men-at-arms and "a very few archers".  The Scots army, led by Archibald, Earl of Douglas and John Stewart, Earl of Buchan (both of whom were killed), was almost destroyed.  Many French noblemen were taken prisoner; among them the Duke of Alençon, Pierre, the bastard of Alençon, and Marshal de La Fayette.  After Verneuil, the English were able to consolidate their position in Normandy.  The Army of Scotland as a distinct unit ceased to play a significant part in the Hundred Years' War, although many Scots continued to serve in France. [PAR] [TLE] Archibald Douglas, 4th Earl of Douglas [SEP] Archibald Douglas, Duke of Touraine, Earl of Douglas, Earl of Wigtown, Lord of Annandale, Lord of Galloway, Lord of Bothwell, and 13th Lord of Douglas (1372–17 August 1424), was a Scottish nobleman and warlord.  He is sometimes given the epithet "Tyneman" (Old Scots: Loser), but this may be a reference to his great-uncle Sir Archibald Douglas.
