Yet the story of the Hundred Years' War contains all of these things, and it is a story that is entirely true. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe story of this war is made fascinating by its setting, but it is made inspiring by its characters. Here is a blind king who rides to war for the opportunity to strike one last blow with his sword; here is a young prince, dressed all in black, who leads his father's men to victory; here are boy kings and fierce queens, prisoners who believe in honor, hailstorms that stop entire campaigns, and the wonderful story of a young peasant girl who changed the course of history forever. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Hundred Years' War changed language, national identity, weaponry, and even the way that people think about war. It is part of the greater narrative of human history and gives a snapshot of how human nature can behave when pressed by the extremity of such a conflict-sometimes with unspeakable honor and courage and other times with cowardice, selfishness, and arrogance. There are many lessons to be learned from this war. Its tale is a cautionary one, but it is also a tale of adventure, battle, hope, and divine intervention. It's the tale of a war unlike any other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSome of the topics covered in part 1 of this book include: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Edwardian War (1337-1360)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Question of Succession\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStriking the First Blow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeath of a Different Ilk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Black Prince's Raid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Treaty of Brétigny\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Caroline War (1369-1389)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharles the Wise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Death of John Chandos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA French Victory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Great Chevauchée\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Boy Kings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMadness and Deposition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Lancastrian War (1415-1453)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBesieging Harfleur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Battle of Agincourt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Baby King\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoan and the Siege\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Last Battles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSome of the topics covered in part 2 of this book include: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Unending War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Whispered Prophecy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe First Vision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Doubt of Baudricourt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Prediction of Defeat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Audience with the King\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Road to Orléans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrival at Orléans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlying the White Banner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Sign Provided\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Battle of Patay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeans for the Apocalypse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe French King Crowned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Siege of Paris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Saint Tried for Heresy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Burning of Jeanne d'Arc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSo if you want to learn more about the Hundred Years' War, scroll up and click the \"add to cart\" button!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 226\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 18, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42128229564551,"sku":"9781090802231","price":20.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/1e15c562c750a5b789dd6ae6d49ab8dd.webp?v=1732593831","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-hundred-years-war-a-captivating-guide-to-one-of-the-most-notable-conflicts-of-the-middle-ages-and-in-european-history-and-the-life-of-jo-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
