Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CHANDOS, SIR JOHN (?-137o) , one of the most celebrated
English
  commanders of the 14th
century
 . ` He is found at the siege of Cambrai in 1337, and at the battle of Crecy in 1346. At the battle of Poitiers, in 1356, it was he who decided the day and saved the
life
  of the Black Prince. For these services
Edward
  III. made him a knight of the Garter, gave him the lands of the viscount of Saint Sauveur in Cotentin, and appointed him his
lieutenant
  in France and vice-
chamberlain
  of the royal
household
 . In 1362 he was made constable of Aquitaine, and won the victories of Auray (1364) and Navaret in Spain (1367) over Duguesclin. He was
seneschal
  of Poitou in 1369, and was mortally wounded at the
bridge
  of Lussac near Poitiers on the 31st of December. He died on the following day, the 1st of January 1370.
See Benjamin Fillon, " John Chandos, Connetable d'Aquitaine et Senechal de Poitou," in the Revue des provinces de l'ouest (1855).
