Extractions: Charles V (1338-1380) Table of contents The Hundred Years' War On the strength of his claim to the French throne as a direct descendant of Philip IV the Fair through his mother, Isabella of France, in 1337 Edward III of England refused to do homage for Guienne to King Philip VI ). Before long, however, major military operations gave way to a war of attrition under Charles V. In Bertrand du Guesclin, a future high constable, Charles found an able leader who rid the kingdom of the marauding Free Companies, bands of mercenaries who were pillaging the realm. By the time Charles V died in 1380 the situation had stabilized, and the conciliatory policies of England's Richard II , at century's end, fostered hopes for a lasting peace.

Extractions: Dictionary and Thesaurus The Battle for Flanders Flanders had grown to be the industrial center of northern Europe and had become extremely wealthy through its cloth manufacture. It could not produce enough wool to satisfy its market and imported fine fleece from England. England depended upon this trade for its foreign exchange. During the 1200's, the upper-class English had adopted Norman fashions and switched from beer to wine. Note that beer and wine were very important elements in the medieval diet. Both contain vitamin and yeast complexes that the medieval diet, especially during the winter, did not provide. Besides, the preservation of food was a difficult matter in that era, and the alcohol in beer and wine represented a large number of calories stored in an inexpensive and effective fashion. People did get drunk during the middle ages, but most could not afford to do so. Beer and wine were valued as food sources and were priced accordingly The problem was that England could not grow grapes to produce the wine that many of the English now favored and had to import it. A triangular trade arose in which English fleece was exchanged for Flemish cloth, which was then taken to southern France and exchanged for wine, which was then shipped into England and Ireland, primarily through the ports of Dublin, Bristol, and London.

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/musee.jeannedarc/war.htm

Extractions: History of the hundred Years War In 1328, following the sudden extinction of the Capetienne lineage by the unexpected deaths of the 3 sons of Philippe le Bel, the French chose Philippe, the count of Valois, as king rather than Edouard III, the king of England and nephew of the deceased French king. In january of 1340, in an effort to use his french heritage to bolster his claim to the throne, Edouard III gave himself the title "king of France" and decorated his armaments with the fleur de lys symbol. Shortly thereafter began a series of battles which made enemies of two peoples who had, until that time, remained amicable despite previous disagreements and misunderstandings. These battles were marked by a serie of crushing defeats for the French : Crécy and Calais (1346), Poitiers (1356), and Agincourt (1415). The 14th century, in general a time of misery in Europe -including the Great Famine of 1315-16 and, above all, the Black Plague of 1348- was also a time of social troubles in France - The Harelle of Rouen, the Tuchins of Auvergne and Languedoc, the Maillotins of Paris. In 1415 Ferless John, duke of Bourgogne, signed the Pact of Calais with

Extractions: Post WWII The Hundred Years' War 1337 The origins of the Hundred Years' War lay with the English possession of Gascony in France, with rivalries over rich Flanders trade, and with fear caused by continual French intervention in Scotland. These disputes were exacerbated by Edward III's claim to the French throne(through his mother, Isabella) and the Hundred Years' War began. Early in the conflict, Edward gained command of the English Channel, and victory was had at Crecy in 1346, and Poitiers in 1356. Calais was also captured. King John of France remained in captivity after Poitiers until his death eight years later but, after 1360, English power in France began to fade.

Extractions: Significance of the final phase of the Hundred Years' War G enerally the last, and decisive, phase of the Hundred Years' War is not well covered in most modern English or American histories of Western warfare. If not ignored completely, the reconquests by the French army of Charles VII are given the skimpiest summary treatment. Even popular French histories often close the coverage of the military events with the arrival of Joan of Arc, and suggest that this introduced a moral prerogative which outweighed military factors. The final phase of the Hundred Years' War encompassed the obviously dramatic, first effective employment of gunpowder weapons (aside from the Hussite Wars of 1413-36) in Western Europe. What was special to the French artillery was not a secret technology. The improved gunpowder and gun manufacturing techniques were widely known throughout Europe. It was the organization and direction of the artillery arm by Jean and Gaspard Bureau, that enable the French army to prevail in rapid siege operations as well as in pitched battles.

Extractions: Post WW11 The Hundred Years War (Part 3) 1399 - 1420 In 1417 Henry returned to Normandy and launched an unprecedented campaign of conquest, establishing garrisons and granting land to English colonists. France was currently divided between the unbalanced King Charles VI and his son, the Dauphin. In 1420 the King and Henry signed the Treaty of Troyes. Henry would marry the King's daughter Catherine; Charles would make him his heir, disinheriting the Dauphin. While Charles lived, Henry would be Regent. Henry had cut the knot of England's French entanglement, but at a cost. The history of England's claims was set aside; the claim now rested solely on the treaty itself. The treaty proposed Henry as Regent to a French king - the reverse of his tactics in Normandy. Above all, the treaty could not be implemented while France was divided. Henry had effectively committed England to another, larger war of conquest. King, Council and Parliament 1399 - 1485
