A historical event, lasting one hundred years, in which England methodically beat the crap out of the most powerful nation in Europe.

Why was Joan of Arc charged for heresy?
I suppose it's about the fact that the winners write the history books. I'm not altogether certain of what crimes Joan was accused of, but the idea of a defence councel & a free trial are not what medieaval law was concerned with. It is, as one might say, another example of one mans terrorist being another mans freedom fighter. As for the idea of fairness that is a concept in law which is very difficult, even now, to decide. The guilt, or otherwise, of Joan of Arc, will depend on a particular point of view: the same might be argued with the regicide of King Charles I of Britain. I am sure there are other cases. Putting someone to death, not least a young woman, by burning them to death in the town square sends out a very obvious message of intolerance & power over the rebellious population. Quite what anyone might do to deserve such a terrible fate....... but of course this was how justice operated and was seen to be in those times, and stayed much the same for centuries.

Who were the main opponents in the hundred years war?
It began in May 1337 until, October 1453. The Hundred Years War was a term coined in 1860's France to gather the series of battles in the mid 1300's to mid 1400's over territory in France and secession to the French throne. This period actually enlisted 116 year time frame in European history.
Both France and England had the advantage of allies. England had a better navy. France had Joan of Arc, who led the French to victory over the English.
The French suffered the most because the battles were fought on French soil. The plague or " Black Death" in France was largely a result of the war.

Why did the hundred years war happen?
This one is easy, the 100 year War started because the French wanted to retake the land that the English had in mainland Europe. The last straw for the French was when England claimed its king, King of France.
Why did England loose in the hundred years war?
The main problems were financial, but you also have to blame poor leadership towards the end of the war.
Although England had been close to bankruptcy for several years Henry V was always able to raise a sizeable army at short notice, often using loans from wealthy citizens, like Cardinal Beaufort. When he passed away his brother, the Duke of Bedford, became regent of France as Henry V's son, Henry VI, was only an infant. He proved to be a very capable leader in his own right, leading his forces to victory at Verneuil (a victory that could have rivalled Agincourt).
Unfortunately he passed away due to illness. 2 Years later Henry VI was declared 'of age'. Henry VI was a very timid king and had no stomach for war (nothing like his father, it has to be said). Henry VI then started trying to appease the French Dauphin in the hopes of a lasting peace, the Dauphin had no desire for peace and used Henry VI's timid pacifism to his advantage and negotiated rings around him to get favourable peace terms and even then only agreed to short term peace.
He used the period to raise and train what was, some agree, the first professional national army since the fall of Rome. Whilst the English used this time rest and try to ease the burden on the almost empty treasury.
Inevitably the peace ended with the French in a far more favourable position and as such they bagan a campaign that would throw the English back over the channel.
This caused a crisis for the English who fought desperatley to hold on to Normandy, but although they had great military leaders like Talbot, Faucemburg (excuse the spelling) and Edmund Beufort (the Cardinal's nephew), they lacked a true political leader. The likes of Henry V or the Duke of Bedford, who could have found a way to raise funds for an army. As such the French succeeded in throwing the English across the channel.
Believe it or not this is the short version :)
