History[edit]
The battle of Châteauneuf-de-Randon was fought in 1380 between the English and the French. In 1380 the fortress of Châteauneuf-de-Randon was besieged by the French, under the command of Bertrand du Guesclin, and the fortress was defended by an English garrison under De Ros. After a defence that obstinate, the town surrendered on 4 July. The siege, however, was fatal to the French commander.
Geography[edit]
