Harfleur vs. Neuss

From: Christian Folini
Date: Sun, 13 Dec 2009 21:03:46 +0100

Dear all,

The siege of Harfleur and the siege of Neuss are both quite famous.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Neuss

Harfleur surrendered after one month of siege to Edward V. Neuss
fought the attacking Charles the Bold for more than a 
year despite the advanced artillery of the 2nd half of the 15th
century.

Still, Harfleur is considered a long siege. Why is that?

regs,

Christian
