This Day in History: 1367-03-25

On 25th March 1367, John of Gaunt, lord of Pontefract, rallied the Anglo-Gascon army at Vitoria, northern Spain, to repel the forces of Enrique of Trastamara (later King of Castile and León) and his brother Tello who had overrun the camp of Sir Hugh Calveley. The Black Prince’s forces together with those of Sir John Chandos came to the aid of Gaunt to assist in warding off Tello.
