The SKIRMISH That Shattered Aquitaine | Coutras 1087 | A GoodKnight Story for Sleep

Описание: In the autumn of 1087, far from the great wars and famous kings, a quiet disaster unfolded along the rivers of Aquitaine. This is the story of the skirmish at Coutras, where ambition outran caution, where a young duke ignored the warnings of an old knight, and where hundreds of lives were lost in a single morning of mud, forest, and cold water.

This GoodKnight Story is not about glory or conquest. It is about feudal fragmentation, forgotten violence, and the kind of medieval warfare that rarely makes it into history books. Told slowly and deliberately for rest and reflection, this episode follows a veteran knight forced to lead men into a trap he already understands and cannot prevent.

Set in southern France during the unstable years following the death of William the Conqueror, the battle of Coutras reflects a world where dukes fought counts over tolls, bridges, and pride. It was a small conflict with lasting consequences, shaping the character of a young ruler who would later become one of the most complex figures of medieval Europe.

Settle in, dim the lights, and walk with The GoodKnight through cold rivers, shadowed forests, and the quiet aftermath of survival. These stories are told without haste, without spectacle, and without triumph, only the weight of lived experience.
