536 Questions
The House of Valois was eventually victorious over that of the Plantagenets.
Although England won most of the battles, it was France who actually won the war as they profited the most from the ordeal. France gained nationalism, something vital to an empire that wants to sustain its independence. During the war, France was made up of states each ruled by a Duke with their own interests at hand. Late in the war they realised the importance to unite in order to push the English from their lands. England lost because they had insufficient numbers occupying the garrisons they conqured and this allowed the French to slowly wear them down, along with the help of great leaders such as Bertrand du Guesclin and Joan of Arc. The English were eventually repelled to the Pale of Calais. But technically the English won the war 1337-1453!
IMPROVEMENT.
I can't agree with the affirmation that technically the English won the war, at least starting from 1449, when the French completely overwhelmed the English also in pitched battles, thanks also to the power of their artillery led by Jean Bureau a genius in handling cannons . Some examples: Battle of Formigny, siege of Cherbourg and battle of Castillon, the last one of the war, where the English, under Talbot, were sent to attack the strong entrenched French position equipped with 300 guns of various calibre.
What led to Joan of Arc's death?
While she was fighting for the French, Joan of Arc was caught by their enemy; the English. The English put her on trial and charged her with being a witch. She was found guilty and burned at the stake. Soon after, the French defeated the English and won the war. A long time later, Joan of Arc was declared to be a saint by the Catholic Church.
What is the dispute between the English and the french over the French throne called?
Hundred Years' War
Hundred Years' War
How did the European governments change as a result of the Hundred Years' War?
It gave the birth of the nation-statehood. The people at the beginning of the war were loyal to their feudal regardless of his native language. Hundred years later, people became aware that the loyalty to the state must coincide with the language. Beside France and UK, other states fighting wars at the same era actually utilized on nationalistic fever at the 15th century. Another product of the warfare was the end of traditional medieval knighthood as the main fighting force of the era. The chivalry became obsolete and infective against gun powder weapons. The end of the 100 Year left France unified but utterly devastated; UK isolated from European mainstream, and large cities of the northern Italy independent from direct interference from the France.

What happened to Joan arc when she turned 13?
Allegedly at this age she began hearing voices or having visions, this was long before the Maid"s career as a female Knight.
Did Joan of Arc die in her sleep?
No, Joan of Arc died a much more horrible death. She was burned alive at the stake on the 30th of May, 1431 at the age of 19.
In August 2002 I came up with the idea of Joan having died from heat stroke. Here is the original article I put on the internet:
http://stjoan-center.com/topics/Death_by_Heat_Stroke.html
This same website contains the original transcript of testimony of witnesses.
http://stjoan-center.com/Trials/index.html#nullification
These records contain nothing about the executioner saying the wood was piled high. Nor is there anything about his not being able to strangle her before the flames reached her. Nor is there anything about the wood being dry. Nor is there anything about the presence or lack of smoke. These are all fabrications dreamed up out of thin air and promulgated from one website to another, forever it seems.
Furthermore, if somebody is unconscious there is no pain.
What the records do reveal is that Joan was speaking in a clear voice right up to her last conscious moment. But this would be impossible if she were burning.
Islam Sunni Shi'ite statistics in Saudi Arabia?

Joan of Arc or Jeannè d'Arc was burnt at the stake by the British as a witch
Well, she bewitched the King, didn't she? Why else would he hand over command of his armies to a teenage girl? And didn't she claim to hear voices telling her what to do? Plainly, her familiars. Nevertheless, Joan was condemned, in the end, not for witchcraft but for heresy. Which is to say, that she chose to obey her voices rather than the Church. Of this, she was plainly guilty; which is why, although her condemnation was rescinded soon after her death, her canonisation took another 500 years.
How do you dress like Joan of Arc?
Joan of Arc wore white armour, so that would be a good start. You could also tuck your hair in the back of your shirt because she cut hers short to look like a man.She didn't wear a helmet because she wanted her face to be seen.
I hoped ive helped :D

What year was the hundred year war?
The Hundred Years' War was a series of separate conflicts fought primarily between the House of Valois and the House of Plantagenet lasting from 1337-1453.
After the last of the Capetian line of French kings perished, the throne of France was vacant. The House of Valois from France claimed the throne while the House of Plantagenet from England claimed to be the rulers of both France and England. At the time, marriages between two nobles from different countries were common. They were intended to provide peace between the two nations, and because of this, some Plantagenets did have roots tracing back to previous French kings.
Throughout the Edwardian War (1337-1360), the Caroline War (1369-1389), and the Lancastrian War (1415-1429), English forces continued to control the war. The French were pushed back and lost more land to English claim.
It was not until Joan of Arc emerged, that the English began to retreat. Joan convinced the Dauphin of France to send her to the Siege of Orléans. There, she raised the morale of the French troops and attacked the English, forcing them to lift the siege and retreat. The French were heavily inspired by Joan's bravery and began to push back against English forces. They recaptured important points from the English and were able to halt English invasions.
Later, news circulated about Joan's capture and execution. Nonetheless, French forces continued to reclaim lost territory. The Battle of Castillon in 1453 is considered to be the last battle of the Hundred Years' War. There, the English conceded victory to the French.
Despite early English advantages, the Dauphin was coronated as King Charles VII of France and the House of Valois was able to retain its claim to the French throne.
The Hundred Years' War was a generational struggle from 1337 to 1453 between two royal dynasties, the Plantagenets of England and the Valois of France, for the throne of France.
