The Battle of Balsdean; 1377

This article is a work in progress. My sources are:

• The Skirmish at Rottingdean, 1377, by Randolph Jones
• The skirmish at Rottingdean, Running Out of Time

This was part of the Hundred Years War. A documentary on television indicated that this whole ‘skirmish’ may have taken place between just two high tides – about 6 hours. In that time several villages and their fields may have been ransacked and burnt and approximately 300 people from both sides were killed. The English did similar things in France.
