The Hundred Year War ended with the victory of the House of Valois, as supported by the native French and others including Bohemia, Genoa and Scotland, over The House of Plantagenet, as supported primarily by the English, the Holy Roman Empire and several others.

The Plantagenet territories in France reached their peak by 1424, at which time there was significant domestic issues in England surrounding the regency of the child-king Henry VI. But by 1428, the English were rallied again to push for the city of Orleans, despite not having significant numbers to secure the city.

In 1429, Joan of Arc rallied a previously dejected French army and attacked Redoubts, then going on to take numerous English strongholds throughout Loire. This culminated with a significant victory at Patay over the English under the command of the 1st Earl of Shrewsbury and a march to Rheims in the same year.

French progress stalled after the capture and execution of Joan of Arc. But in 1453, the Burgundians under Philip III switched their allegiance to the Valoisians. This, combined with Charles VII's re-organisation of his army, allowed the French to capture numerous towns.

The territorial advances of the French continued rapidly through 1453, until the 1st Earl of Shrewsbury attempted to re-take the town of Gascony and was defeated by Jean Bureau at the Battle of Castillon. This is seen as the final battle of the Hundred Years War.
