[edit] Hailstorm

Was the treaty provoked by a hailstorm? On May 8 1360 a hailstorm caught Edward's army between Paris and Chartres. It seemed as if the world were come to an end. giant hailstones killed men and horses, and even the most courageous were terrified, according to Sir John Froissart. The king was, apparently "so affected that 'he vowed to the virgin that he would conclude a peace'. This is in Frank W Lane's The Elements Rage (David & Charles 1966), pp. 75-76.
