September 27 historical events
1198 — Battle of Gisors
The Battle of Gisors (September 27, 1198) was a skirmish fought in Courcelles-lès-Gisors, Oise, Picardy, part of the ongoing fighting between Richard I of England and Philip Augustus of France that lasted from 1194 to Richard's death in April 1199. The earlier conflict restarted after the truce between the two kings— just long enough to see the harvest in, according to the chronicler Roger of Hoveden— expired. Both kings invaded and pillaged each other's territory, causing great suffering to the local population by having their captives' eyes put out.

These were dismissed, so he assumed he was being persecuted by the state, thus he felt he had to resort to the crime. He was armed with a civilian version of a Stgw 90 (Swiss Army assault rifle), a SIG Sauer pistol, a pump-action shotgun, and a revolver, and he wore a home-made police vest.
