Date of the battle

The article on Charles the Bold gives the date for the Battle of Nancy as 6 January 1477; my Dupuy & Dupuy Encyclopedia of Military History gives it as 5 January. I left it in the article as the 5th for now, as per the original author; if anyone else has a good source please check; some other articles may need to be updated if that date is correct. Thanks!

Richard Vaughan's Charles the Bold gives it as January 5 as well; the article on Charles the Bold is incorrect, and I've changed it accordingly. It had the correct date for Charles' death at the beginning, however. Kirill Lokshin 22:29, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Translation

If possible, could someone translate this map?

There is not much to translate

Plan de la bataille - Battle plan
Bois de Jarville - Jarville forest
Foret de Haye - Haye Forest. (Foret and bois are both forest, foret is larger)
Commanderie Saint Jean - Saint Jean headquarters, but commanderie can also mean county (in legal enforcement sense, Sheriff's county)
Avance de l'armee Rene - advance of Rene's army
Gros des troup - bulk of the troops (bulk of the army)
Etang Saint Jean - Saint Jean (John)'s lake.

The rest are names of persons or places.

Infantry vs. cavalry

In some interpretations, this was notable as being pretty much an infantry victory over cavalry... AnonMoos (talk) 20:55, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
