Charles VII's French armies successfully capture Bordeaux and most of Gascony from the English on June 30, 1451 a major blow to English holdings in France making it seem to bring an end to the protracted Hundred Years' War.
However the English, led by John Talbot (Earl of Shrewsbury) recaptures Bordeaux in late 1452 prompting a final French offensive that culminated in the decisive French victory at the Battle of Castillon on July 17, 1453, which finally secured Gascony for France and marked the end of English territorial claims in the region.
