The Normandy campaign of 1449-1450 took place during the Hundred Years War when the Kingdom of France undertook a military campaign to retake Normandy from the English. Following the decisive victory of the French at the Battle of Formigny and after the fall of Cherbourg, the last English stronghold in Normandy, English control of Normandy was removed.
