August 10 - The Mary Rose’s first battle

On this day in Tudor history, 10th August 1512, the English fleet's flagship, the Mary Rose, saw battle for the first time in the Battle of Saint-Mathieu, a naval battle in the War of the League of Cambrai.

 

The battle was fought between the English fleet and the Franco-Breton fleet just off the coast of Brest.

 

1,500 to 1,600 men were lost that day, but how? What happened? And who was victorious? Claire Ridgway, the founder of the Tudor Society, explains all in today's talk.
