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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSome of the topics covered in part 1 of this book include: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Edwardian War (1337-1360)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Question of Succession\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStriking the First Blow\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDeath of a Different Ilk\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Black Prince's Raid\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Treaty of Brétigny\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Caroline War (1369-1389)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCharles the Wise\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Death of John Chandos\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA French Victory\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Great Chevauchée\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTwo Boy Kings\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMadness and Deposition\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Lancastrian War (1415-1453)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBesieging Harfleur\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Battle of Agincourt\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Baby King\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eJoan and the Siege\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Last Battles\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more!\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSome of the topics covered in part 2 of this book include: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Unending War\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Whispered Prophecy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe First Vision\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Doubt of Baudricourt\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Prediction of Defeat\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn Audience with the King\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Road to Orléans\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eArrival at Orléans\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFlying the White Banner\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Sign Provided\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Battle of Patay\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBeans for the Apocalypse\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe French King Crowned\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Siege of Paris\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePeace\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCapture\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCaptive\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Saint Tried for Heresy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Burning of Jeanne d'Arc\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more!\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo if you want to learn more about the Hundred Years' War, scroll up and click the \"add to cart\" button!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 226\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 22, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42710418784319,"sku":"9781647481339","price":32.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/02ea6bb663301d2d0fb2c099c9afabba.webp?v=1765054843","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.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-joan-of-ar-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
