Relax with the History of the Hundred Years' War 💤

The Hundred Years’ War was a long and brutal struggle that defined the fate of medieval England and France. Sparked in 1337 by rival claims to the French throne, the conflict stretched across generations, marked by devastating invasions, shifting alliances, and revolutionary changes in warfare. English victories powered by the longbow clashed with French resilience, national revival, and the rise of figures like Joan of Arc. As cities burned and kingdoms bled, the war transformed politics, military strategy, and ideas of national identity on both sides of the Channel. In this episode, we explore the causes, key battles, and lasting impact of the Hundred Years’ War—a centuries-long conflict that helped shape modern Europe.
