This episode covers the epic struggle between England and France for the French throne which lasted for over a century. It covers everything from Edward III's victory at Crécy and the Black Prince's triumph at Poitiers all the way to the French victory in 1453. All of the major battles, such as Sluys, Agincourt and Orléans are covered as well as the political intrigues in both kingdoms.
Recommended Books:
Michael Prestwich - The Hundred Years' War - Probably the best narrative overview of the war.
Johnathan Sumption's series of the Hundred Years' War is phenomenal and insanely deep but it will cost you an arm for all of the books. Genuinely don't bother unless you're an undergrad or very interested.
Ten Minute English and British History is a series of short, ten minute animated narrative documentaries that are designed as revision refreshers or simple introductions to a topic. Please note that these are not meant to be comprehensive and there's a lot of stuff I couldn't fit into the episodes that I would have liked to. Thank you for watching, though, it's always appreciated.

Next episode is 'The Wars of the Roses' and was frankly a pain to write. For those wondering, I've been unwell for the past couple of weeks and whilst I've been fine in terms of ability to write and animate, my voice was knackered and so I couldn't record. Thanks for your patience with it all.

You know, that war is probably the ultimate fantasy war. There's mad kings, warrior princes, heroic sellswords, spin-off in exotic locations, the plague, peasant uprising, huge one-sided battles, discovery of secret weapon, countries on the verge of destruction, treason, civil war, a mystical young girl to serve as a savior figure... I'm always surprised the kinda-dull war of roses got so much cred to this one's expenses.

There's another sense in which this war is important. It marks both the culmination and endpoint of medieval warfare. One of the last big wars with knights and castles (and longbowmen). And it was both caused by and fought in the framework of, the classic european feudal system, which was soon to disappear and be replaced by centralized nation states. A process which the outcome of this war at least showcased. At any rate, if we assume the Hundred Years War to have ended in 1453, then it's ending falls together with another epochal event: the Fall of Constantinople and the final End of the (Eastern) Roman Empire. Both events are widely regarded as the endpoint to the middle ages. Within a few decades, the Spanish would land in the Americas, Johannes Gutenberg would popularize printing with moveable type and the Protestant Reformation would sweep away the catholic hold of much of northern Europe.

I think the end of of medieval warfare is marked by the battle of Cerignola in 1503 between Spanish and French forces, since it was the first battle won by small firearms against knights. To put a long story short, the Spanish commander Gonzalo de Cordoba had a bunch of extra arquebuses because reinforcements had not arrived but their supplies had. So he massed the arquebuses on a fortified position, which then decimated the attacking French forces when they charged. Pikemen and swordsmen then finished off the retreating French, who managed to get themselves stuck in a muddy field while trying to get away.

@Ed the simple answer is, they used i instead. if you ever wondered why crucifixes have INRI when they really mean Jesus Nazarenus Rex Judaeorum, that's why. the longer answer involves borrowed orthography from Old French, the fact that those names are foreign to English in the first place, and only a later-on desire to seperate the vowel-i from the consonant-j. might as well also point out that this sometimes-a-vowel-sometimes-a-consonant situation still exists in English, in the form of the letter y (compare, say, year and rhyme)

@iparipaitegianiparipaitegi4643

The first Louis was Clovis, king of the Franks. He conquered the former roman Gaul at the end of the 5th century and he created the first french royal dynasty. (Louis is a deformation of Clovis). The 2d Louis was Charlemagne’s son, Roman Emperor. So the name Louis was both royal and imperial. That explains its success in the french royal families.

Arguably the "English" defeat of the 100 year war turned out to be an English victory and a French defeat culturally speaking; most of the "english nobility" being french and all. Cause had the english won and lasted at more than one generation and the english language would be even more french than it currently is. Cause the "english" dinasty would have ruled form Paris and reverted back to french as the main language, culture etc. Although, I don't think it would have lasted for long anyway : the two entities would have regained independence from one another one way or another...

Well the Germans did try and build an Atlantic Wall. That didn't end up working out too well. Also (and this is one of the reasons England has been less and less successfully invaded than France), currents in the English Channel make it easier to sail from England to Normandy or Brittany than the opposite. In fact, William the Conqueror had to wait months until the winds were good enough to attempt the crossing - which turned out to be salutary, as Harold Godwinson had had to confront the Norwegians in the north and his army was tired. The difficulty to navigate the western Atlantic coast of Europe partially explains why France, despite having such a long coastline, was late in building a true navy, aside from having enough arable land of excellent quality not to need fishing or maritime trade. That is, until the 16th century, when appropriate naval technology could be implemented and used for trans-Atlantic travel.

@@Valencetheshireman927 All Kings of France were French, basic principle of French history. English at that time could not be king of France because: 1) they were French, not English. 2) They were not members of the Capetian Dynasty. While All Kings of England were foreigners. But you are not the only country created by French. The first king of Portugal for example, was French, a Capetian from Bourgogne. so you should be happy to be part of the French former colonies. The Normands = French The Plantagenets = French The Tudors = Welsh, The Stuarts = Scottish, The Orange-Nasau = Dutch, The Hanover = German, The Nazi Windsor (Edward VIII, Elizabeth II) = German "Dieu et mon Droit / Honi soit qui mal y pennse" are not English mottos. :-)

@Ludovicius Magnus - “All kings of France were French , basic principle of French history .” What about King Henry the V who ruled most of France and although wasn’t crowned he still controlled the country for a while . He was born in Monmouth , Wales so are you telling me that he was French even though he was born in Wales and was the King of England ? What about his son ,king Henry the 6th who WAS crowned the king of France , he was born in Windsor castle which is in England are you still going to tell me that both those men were French and that all monarchs of France were French ? Someone needs to improve their geography skills 😉! English at that time could be considered kings of France because : 1- Exactly because of their French lineage . How does being French mean you can’t claim the French throne . Your logic of the English kings being French kinda contradicts itself there . 2- King Edward the third ( Who started the war his mother was of the Capetian dynasty which is why he claimed the throne of France in the first place . He had a bigger claim to the throne of France than House Valois did ! Not all kings of England were foreigners most of them were actually born in England even if their ancestors came from another country . 3- The fact that you think I should be happy at that prospect frankly disgust me . England was never w colony of France but the very thought of it is horrifying! The Normans - Norman French The Plantagenets - Yes but of French DESCENT not all of them were born in France. The Tudors - Welsh The Stuarts-Scottish Orange - It was hardly a dynasty since the only Dutch king of England was William of Orange who fight jointly with his English wife , Mary . The Windsors - The were first called the house of Hannover , then Saxe-Coburg Gotha and then finally Windsor . They were German but it’s foolish if you to think that they are Nazis when that’s not even a good conspiracy theory . There are rumours that Edward was pro-Nazi but even if that were true that doesn’t make the entire dynasty a house of Nazis as you seem to imply in other comments .

@@thomashaapalainen4108 Yhea but it was inspired by old french (doc and doil languages)/vulgar latin. I've researched and english is composed of 30% of old french, 30% vulgar latin (also imported from France) or so and 40% saxon I believe. The normans were of french culture and bowed as vassals to the king of France. They were nords who were "assimilated" into french culture (assimilation is an important word in France's History, even to this day in politics). The germanic aspect of the english language is connected to everyday life and common things of the people, meaning as long as the vocabulary is ordinary or simple objects, you'd talk english perfectly fine just knowing german. But, as latin and french were the language of the nobles and the monarchy and the King, it'd be a lot less riched language. The British Monarchy also retains that aspect today of the french monarchy: « Dieu et mon droit » "honni soit qui mal y pense" The hundred years war was a war between 2 french dynasties. And a civil war of course.

Geography and luck is oversimplifying it a bit - eg the West frequently utilized pre-existing conflicts to gain a foothold, such as the Spanish who arrived in Peru to a civil war. War was costly on the Inca and once a victor was announced the Spanish held him ransom... then killed him when the ransom was paid, because of course they did 😂

Joan of Arc was not convicted of heresy for her visions, she was convicted of heresy for wearing male clothes. Made promise of not wearing male clothes again, and then "relapsing" by having the english guards remove all other clothing but male and as a relapsed heretic could then be sentenced to death as a heretic. The court documents survives so it is quite an interesting read there was also a retrial in 1456 and even for the time her trial was deemed to be a complete farce and not in up to what medieval ecclesiastical law proscribed. Its the 1430s style inquisition you'd think one could off someone using the legal standards at the time, but even for that time it was heavily criticized for being botched.

Totally historically innacurate and full of anti-french propaganda. The battle of Azincourt is far away from reality, the evil Dauphin of France was in reality a sick and discreet man who wasn't even present in the battle because he was already... dead. While Henri V was far away from being a gentleman, a warrior execute prisonners and doing massacre. The movie was inspire by a Shakespear play, not reality.

The particularity of Azincourt is England broke the medieval war aggreement Killing nobles prisoners instead of ransomize. This shame has a prize .
