The Hundred Years' War : 1337-1453

There can be no doubt that military conflict between France and England dominated European history in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. This war is of considerable interest both because of its duration and the number of theatres in which it was fought. In this book, Hundred Years' War expert Dr Anne Curry reveals how the war can reveal much about the changing nature of warfare: the rise of infantry and the demise of the knight, the impact of increased use of gunpowder and the effect of the wars on generations of people around it.

  • "1429 gelang es Jeanne d'Arc, den englischen Belagerungsring um Orléans, dem Schlüssel zu Südfrankreich, zu sprengen. Damit begann die Wende im Hundertjährigen Krieg (1337-1453), in dem zeitweise halb Frankreich von den Engländern besetzt war. Nach dem Tod Karls IV. erhob der englische König Ansprüche auf den französischen Thron. Dies führte zu dem dramatischsten kriegerischen Großereignis des Spätmittelalters. Anne Curry gelingt es, die wechselvollen Auseinandersetzungen zwischen dem Haus Valois, den englischen Königen und den verbündeten Burgundern sowie den Bürgerkrieg zwischen den Armagnacs."
  • "Although the term "Hundred Years War" was not coined until the 1860s, the Anglo-French conflicts of the later Middle Ages have long been of interest to historians. This book explores the trends in historical opinion from the time of the wars to the present day. It provides a narrative of English involvement in France, placing the well known military events in their diplomatic context. By focusing on the treaties of 1259, 1360 and 1420, Anne Curry suggests that there was not one "hundred year war" but rather three separate yet linked conflicts, all with significant implications for the European scene as a whole. --From publisher's description."@en
