🔴 25 juin 841 | Bataille de Fontenoy-en-Puisaye Trois frères. Un empire immense. Et un carnage oublié qui a brisé le destin de l'Europe. L'héritage de Charlemagne s'effondre à Fontenoy. 👑 𝐔𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐨̂𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐢𝐬. Lothaire, l'aîné arrogant, veut soumettre ses frères Charles le Chauve et Louis le Germanique. Trahisons neustriennes, alliances secrètes avec les rebelles d'Aquitaine : l'Empire explose. ⚔️ 𝐋𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐞𝐮. Refusant la paix, Lothaire temporise. Le 25 juin, à la deuxième heure, le choc est total. Louis brise le centre ennemi, Charles enfonce l'aile droite. Le sang coule à flot : la fine fleur de la chevalerie franque est exterminée, laissant le royaume sans défense face aux futurs raids vikings. #25Juin #Bataille #Fontenoy #Charlemagne #Héritage #MoyenÂge #Carolingiens #HistoireDeFrance #Bataille #Yonne #Histoire #France #Patrimoine #CeJourLà #FrancePittoresque 👉 Les coulisses de ce choc fratricide sur http://bit.ly/Bataille-Fontenoy-Puisaye

The Black Watch at the Battle of Fontenoy by William Skeoch Cumming. The battle was the first time a full regiment of highlanders fought in the British Army in Europe.
