The fourteenth and fifteenth centuries were a time of great
upheaval for medieval France. In 1328 the Capetian line came to an
end. This was the trigger for the Hundred Years War (1337-1453) as
successive English kings attempted to uphold their claim to the
French throne. Catastrophic defeats at Crecy and Poitiers shook the
French kingdom to its core. A period of respite followed under
Bertrand du Guesclin, but an even more devastating assault was to
follow, under the warrior-king par excellence Henry V, and the
French disintegration continued until 1429. This book details how
the French began a recovery, partly triggered by the young
visionary Joan of Arc, that would end with them as the major
European military power.
