A later example of recycling: during the Renaissance the swan song of the "reiters", a type of mercenary cavalry, happened in 1587 when the last ones were exterminated almost to a man at Auneau, near Chartres. The moats of the castle at Auneau were filled with the armour and helmets of the dead and for two centuries after the battle local farmers came to this "iron mine" to get metal for their farming implements.. <p></p><i></i>
