Calais- September, 1346
Cause- the English Channel port of Calais suited Edward's purposes. It was highly defensible. It boasted a double moat and substantial city walls built a hundred years earlier.

But the defenses which made Calais attractive to Edward also made it difficult to seize.

Place- Normandy

Orleans- Between October 1428 and May 1429
Cause- Charles furnished Joan with a small army, and on April 27, 1429, she set out for Orleans, besieged by the English since October 1428. On April 29, as a French sortie distracted the English troops on the west side of Orleans, Joan entered unopposed by its eastern gate.
