Why did the battle of Agincourt start?
The Battle of Agincourt was the final battle in the 1415 invasion of France by Henry V. He was fighting to claim the throne of France from King Charles the Mad and also to avenge the men that died in the Siege of Soissons.
The invasion began with the lengthy siege of Harfluer in which much of Henry's army fell sick with dystentry and died. The 12,000 strong army was halved in size and Henry decided to march this small force of just over 6000 men from Harfluer to Calais but after being unable to cross the Somme they had to travel in land and they were caught by a French army (numbers range between 15,000-30,000) near the castle of Agincourt.
The battle was fought on St Crispin's day in atrocious conditions. The English eventually won when their archers defeated the numerous French attacks
For more information in a fictional sense I can recommend Bernard Cornwell's 'Agincourt' but bear in mind that this is a work of fiction based on true events.

What was the result of the hundred year war?
The Hundred Years War inflicted untold misery on France. Farmlands were laid waste, the population was decimated by war, famine, and the Black Death (see http://www.answers.com/topic/plague), and marauders terrorized the countryside. Civil wars (see http://www.answers.com/topic/jacquerie; http://www.answers.com/topic/cabochiens; http://www.answers.com/topic/armagnacs-and-burgundians) and local wars (see http://www.answers.com/topic/breton-war-of-succession) increased the destruction and the social disintegration. Yet the successor of Charles VII, http://www.answers.com/topic/louis-xi-of-france, benefited from these evils. The virtual destruction of the feudal nobility enabled him to unite France more solidly under the royal authority and to promote and ally with the middle class. From the ruins of the war an entirely new France emerged. For England, the results of the war were equally decisive; it ceased to be a continental power and increasingly sought expansion as a naval power.
How had the Hundred years of war affect France?
France had several disadvantages. They included: 1. Their army, consisting mostly of Knights and infantry, was no match for the devastating longbow of the British army 2. France was not particularly well organised at the time 3. Britain was wealthier (I think - I'm not sure though. Please correct me if wrong)
What did Saint Joan of Arc do?
Answer
Joan of Arc, also Jeanne d'Arc (1412 to 30 May 1431) is a national heroine of France and a saint of the Roman Catholic Church. She believed she had visions from God that told her to recover her homeland from English domination late in the Hundred Years' War. The uncrowned King Charles VII sent her to the siege at Orleans as part of a relief mission. He did this because of all of Joan's honesty. Initially treated as a figurehead by veteran commanders, she gained prominence when she lifted the siege in only nine days. Several more swift victories led to Charles VII's coronation at Rheims, which settled the disputed succession to the throne.
The renewed French confidence outlasted her own brief career. Court intrigues slowed further offensive action. She was wounded during an unsuccessful attempt to recover Paris and fell prisoner at a battle outside Compeigne the following spring. A politically motivated trial convicted her of heresy. The English regent John, duke of Bedford had her burnt at the stake in Rouen. The ENGLISH saw her as an agent of the devil and that is why she was burnt. She had been the heroine of her country at the age of seventeen. She died at just nineteen. Some twenty-four years later, Pope Callixtus III reopened the case and a new finding overturned the original conviction. Her piety to the end impressed the retrial court. Pope Benedict XV canonized her on 16 May 1920.
Joan of Arc has remained an important figure in the collective imagination of Western culture. From Napoleon to the present, French politicians of all leanings have invoked her memory. Major writers and composers who created works about her include Shakespeare, Voltaire, Schiller, Verdi, Tchaikovsky, Twain, Shaw, and Brecht. Depictions of her continue in film, television, and song.
Joan of arc was also known as "the Maid of Orleans," she was a 15th century Catholic saint, and national heroine of France. A peasant girl born in Eastern France, Joan led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years' War, claiming divine guidance, and was indirectly responsible for the coronation of King Charles VII.
