History of England - The 100 Years War - Part 1 - Extra History

📜 History of England: The 100 Years War - At stake on the English side was trade, the English role in Christendom, the king’s lands in France held by right for 150 years, and the reputation and honor of the king. On the French side, a unified country, national prestige, and the right of their monarch to his own throne.

I missed this artstyle on extra credits history. The cleanest and best by far. Not saying the others are bad but this, this is perfection

[Pikazilla]

*technically it's the: 116 Years 4 months, 3 weeks and 4 days War

"Billy the Conk." I'm now picturing "Billy" striking a lot of people on the head with something mundane and blunt--a wooden ladle, perhaps.

"Talk to the hand!"
".. Talk to the edge of my sword."

100 Years War: I will become the most memorable war in history.

World Wars: Hold our beers.

This seems more like a French civil war than an England vs France war.

Hundred Years' War: *_We're the longest war in human history_*

Three Hundred Thirty Five Years War: *_thats cute_*

The Valois didn't rule France until after Edward III became king of England, prior to that France was ruled by the house of Capet which the house of Valois was a cadet branch of.

As an American, I always do enjoy watching the Mad Baguettes and the Tea Tyrants pulverize each other in completely absurd and lengthy wars

England: Are you ready for 100 years of war?
France: Sacre bleu!

I absolutely love David Crowther. His History of England podcast isn't just interesting, he's utterly hilarious in a quite unique and decidedly English way.

England: I want your' land
France: Hold my baguette

3:55 You can still hear this Noble/Peseant divide in modern English language. In English, farm animals take their name from the Germanic words of the Peseants who reared them, but their meat takes it's name from the Noble's French word (as they ate them)

Sheep/Mutton (mouton)
Cow/Beef (boeuf)
Deer/Venison (
venaison)

Ah, yes. The greatest "mine is biggest" contest in medieval history.
One should wonder what face the leaders of both kingdoms put, when they realized that Germans, Italians and Iberians had all prospered beyond them, while they burned the wealth of their countries in inconclusive battle after inconclusive battle.

"The French were at the gates! Well, not the literal gates, actually it's a complex dynastic claim involving several hundred years of medieval inheritance, lore, and international politics. We should be able to cover that in just a few sentences."
Dear gods, Mr. Crowther is savant at wit and narration! His tone MAKES this episode!

[crocobite]

Finally an accurate portrayal of the English nobility and Plantagenets especially not as English since they never were but as French. I applaud you! This will make the transition to the Lancastrians and the birth of a truly English nobility all the more interesting! Definitely gives me hope for the rest of the Plantagenet period of English history and makes me want to check out these podcasts.

The map of Flanders at 6:30 is incorrect. That's the current political region of Flanders. The historical County of Flanders was only the western part of the current region. The eastern part (Brabant and Limburg) belonged to the Holy Roman Empire.
