Hundred Years War

A strength of 5000, with casualties and losses of about 100

During the 100 Years' War, Joan of Arc was a huge morale booster for the French troops. With the French on the verge of falling to the English, she traveled with the French soldiers, giving them something to fight for in a sense. She did not actually fight, however.

She gave the French a persona to look up to and to, if only superficially, unite them.

Joan of Arc led and inspired the French soldiers to raise the Siege of Orleans (May, 1429) and to defeat the English troops in the Battle of Patay. It was her courage and natural skill in making swift, decisive tactical decisions that led to the defeat of the English, who up to that time were defeating the French and were in a position to control all of what is now modern France.

Joan changed all that. She advised French military commanders like the Duc D'ALencon, who were often indecisive and hesitant to engage English forces. Joan was at the front of her troops in these engagements but carried her famous banner rather than using her sword. She would exhort her troops to

boldly engage the English and not to be afraid.

Joan's military successes led to the coronation of King Charles VII at Rheims in

July, 1429, which eventually led to the expulsion of the English from France and

ending the Hundred Years War. Joan's so-called "persona" was in no way

"superficial" but very decisive. This is a proven historical fact and has nothing to

do with religion, although Joan did claim to have divine guidance to lead the

French army to victory and lead the dauphin, the French crown prince, to Rheims

to be crowned king of France.

Joan's sister (Catherine) is believed to have died in childbirth. Her death must have been after mid-1429 because there's a quote from Joan (related by an eyewitness) dated from about August 1429 mentioning a desire to return home and see her sister again.

The film "The Messenger" invented a purely fictitious English attack on Joan's village during which Catherine is killed and then posthumously raped by an English soldier when Joan was a young child. This never happened. The only two attacks on Joan's village were the following: a minor assault in 1425 (by a Burgundian army led by Henri d'Orly) during which some livestock were stolen and then later returned; and a more serious attack in July of 1428 (by another Burgundian army led by Antoine de Vergy) during which the crops were burned and some of the buildings were damaged. There was no loss of life since the villagers had fled to the nearby city of Neufchatel before the troops arrived. Joan's family and some of the other villagers spent that time at an inn run by a widow nicknamed "la Rousse". Catherine was not killed during that attack, the army which launched the attack was not English, nor did the incident occur during Joan's childhood - she would have been around sixteen in 1428.

Having read a number of books and many magazine and encyclopedia articles about the Maid, I have never heard this argued. Suicide is incompatible with Catholic Values and She never attempted such a thing. She did escape from a tower prison or prison tower by jumping but survived the leap this was escape, not suicide attempt./ I have never heard this argued , nor has it been used in any of the various filmic and other dramatic adaptations, many of which are distorted. according to Schiller- who also wrote William Tell ( not the song, though) He had Joan killed off in battle and her love interest a Male Knight finds her ,in one case dying, other version already lifeless but intact, it is arguable it is easier to simulate battle death on the stage than burning at the stake, which of course, poses fire hazards. But this suicide attempt thing is new to me and I am famiiar with fact-and fiction on the Maid.

In political terms, there was a shift of power away from the great landowners and towards the towns. The craftsmen, merchants, administrators and professional men became more wealthy and powerful. From Henry II on, law gradually moved under the influence of the king.. People in dispute with the nobility could now have their cases heard in the king's courts, which were impartial, rather than by the baronial courts which were not. When towns and cities learned that walled structures would protect their town, it was no longer easy for a knight on horseback to terrorize and plunder. The invention and steady improvement of the English longbow whose arrows could penetrate chain-mail. The steady development of artillery started to make castles decorative rather than useful. The monarchs of that age had realized that the establishment and improvement of a Parliament made up of commoners gave them valuable support in their continuing power struggles with the nobles, and also made it easier to collect taxes.

In Virginia, nothing much happened until Grant launched his Overland campaign in May 1864. After that, there was almost-continuous fighting until Lee's surrender. Battles included The Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Coldharbour, Petersburg and Appomattox.

In Tennessee/Georgia, there was Chickamauga and Chattanooga, followed by Sherman's pursuit of Joe Johnston via Kennesaw Mountain to Atlanta. There were no major battles after that, except Bentonville, the Confederates' last throw.

There were also some minor battles West of the Mississippi.

Louis XIV or 'The Sun King' is noted for both his abnormally long reign in France along with the consolidation of various aspects of the French political, military and social system. He worked very hard to centralize a relatively disorganized French state through sheer personal will and skilled administration.

The seven year war started when the british stole 2 ships from the french and refused to give it back. so later then they declaired war.

After the Hundred Years War in Europe, Kings and other national leaders started to depend on standing armies or even mercenary troops rather than depending

on their nobility (aristocracy) to provide armed troops to protect their nation or wage war.

Also, after the Hundred Years War, soldiers with either long bows, cross bows, or

eventually gun powder weapons became more effective in open field battles than medieval knights with lances or swords on horseback. In sieges, cannons became

the preferred weapon as opposed to ancient siege machines (battering rams,

covered siege towers, and such).

This is a highly subjective question. However, she is one of the most revered Saints in both the Roman Catholic and Anglican Churches. She is also one of France's National Heroes. And she helped liberate France from the English. And the French even today would likely say that she was good. At the same time she was reviled by the English and Burgundians because she was beating them soundly, they even executed her for Heresy (she was later found innocent and declared a Martyr.) But even today many Britons would be hard pressed to declare that she was "bad".

Not school as we know it. Royalty received an education, and occasionally wealthier families could hire tutors for their male children. However, formal schools weren't created, and girls and peasant children did not receive an education. Joan of Arc herself was not educated.

"The Union" means the North when writing about the Civil War. The South is the Confederacy or the Confederates, sometimes the rebels. The union is what was left of the United States after the southern states seceded.

The cost of the hundred year war was that, that the forest and pastures were destroyed and the long wars also affected the country's economy apart from that a lot of human resource or manpower was wasted because many people died .

Bigger. Better. Faster. More. However, an electrical signal is still the same as it was then. A round still comes out of a gun barrel in the same way. A warship still floats because of its buoyancy And a warplane still flies on the same aerodynamic principle. Technology has advanced since World War 1, and military technology has advanced with it, but the basic technology has not changed.

The Hundred Years War did not cause the fall of feudalism. Feudalism continued to exist as a governing force. It weakened feudalism as an effective military technique.

The English Longbow could fire a penetrating arrow into a suit of armor and through a shirt of chain mail.

The basic unit of the feudal system had been the manor house. The serfs worked so the manor could support one knight in shining armor on horseback. The lord of the manor also paid taxes to support the next higher up level.

The serfs, the manor house, and the taxes remained. The knight became useless.

There are actually a lot of things that are not results of the thirty years war, like the invention of computers.

Why don't you use your textbook instead of cheating with the internet?

Essentially yes. It is land holdings granted by a greater feudal lord to a lesser one, who in exchange takes up certain duties and responsibilities. Possible requirements could be military service, garrison duty in the lord's castle, attendance of court to give advice and council to the lord, or hospitality to the lord. Over time these obligations were sometimes converted to cash payments instead of service, knows as scutage. A fief was inheritable, so the relationship could be passed between generations.

A fief might be as small as a single manor, which would be held by a knight. Larger fiefs would be held by greater nobles, and might be subdivided among their own vassals, creating chains of feudal obligations.
