The Chevalier Bertrand du Guesclin Suite honours one of France’s greatest medieval heroes, a humble yet formidable tactician of the Hundred Years’ War, known as the “Eagle of Brittany”.
Born into minor Breton nobility and dismissed in childhood as unworthy, Bertrand’s strength, resolve and brilliance in battle earned him the highest military rank in France – Constable of the Realm.
Renowned for his humane treatment of prisoners and his mastery of the Fabian strategy, Du Guesclin embodied courage, discipline and integrity. His extraordinary life concluded with a noble gesture: a defeated enemy laying the keys of a surrendered fortress on his tomb.
His motto remains a fitting tribute: “Courage gives what beauty refuses.”
