Big Idea – The Hundred Years’ War led to political changes in England and France

What was one of the BIGGEST problems for a Medieval King?

Being a vassal to another king - want to make things worse?

Have it happen between the kings of England and France

Long history of bad blood between the two - started with the Norman Invasion - French were allies with the Scots and both often helped the other when England fought with either - French king actually controlled very little land in France - much of it belonged to other nobles and even more was under English control -- led to 116 years of War - known as The Hundred Years’ War - officially began when England’s Edward III claimed he was the rightful king of France instead of Philip IV - both were grandsons of a French king

Three major Battles - Crecy – 1346 - Poitiers - Agincourt – 1415 Weapons that ended the Middle Ages - cannon and guns - not much yet, but the beginning of the end - especially for castles - Longbow - ended Knight’s supremacy on the battlefield

Problems at home - Plague Periods - rebellions - Jacquerie Revolt (France) - peasants angry over high taxes required to ransom King John the Good after he was captured at Poitiers - Wat Tyler’s Rebellion (England) - peasants also angry about taxes

Joan of Arc

Results of the War - in England, Parliament gained power while the king lost some of his power - in France, the king gained power as well as the loyalty of the nobility - final end of feudalism in Europe - knights and castles no longer the superior weapons - longbows and cannons - both too expensive to maintain - rise of professional standing armies of citizens - led to their desire for more say in government

-explain- what changed the course of the Hundred Years’ War?

-make inferences- why do you think fighting the English created a bond between the king and nobles in France?

Joan of Arc inspired the French troops
