The siege of Romorantin took place between 29 August and 3 September 1356, when an Anglo-Gascon army under the Black Prince – the eldest son and heir to King Edward III of England – assaulted the town and castle of Romorantin during the Hundred Years' War. The small French garrison was commanded by Jean Boucicaut, the marshal of France, and surrendered after six days.
