321: Hundred Years' War: A Storm of Swords (Part 4)

In this podcast episode, we explore the later stages of the Hundred Years' War, particularly the aftermath of the Battle of Poitiers. Although the English initially celebrated victories and secured a favorable treaty, this fragile peace quickly fell apart due to internal strife in France, peasant revolts, and the influence of powerful figures like Charles the Bad. The discussion highlights the decline of English power in France, marked by the downfall of notable leaders such as the Black Prince and Edward III. Ultimately, the episode concludes with a stalemate and a tenuous peace, setting the stage for the next chapter of the war.
