CASTLE UNDER SIEGE –
100 Years' War
1337/1453 - BATTLESET
The Hundred Years War was a long conflict
which, at various stages, involved the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of
France. It began, for hereditary reasons, in 1337 and was fought on French
territory. It marked a decisive turning point in military strategy and tactics.
During the Hundred Years War the Heavy French cavalry was the queen of the
battlefield. However, since the early stages of the war, the French army was
defeated by the English Troops, well trained in the use of longbows and
infantry, in the battle of Crecy, Poitiers and, in 1415, Azincourt. However,
from 1429, thanks to the leadership of Joan of Arc during the siege of Orleans,
the French troops found once again determination. The Hundred Years War ended
in 1453 with the almost complete control of the Country by the Kingdom of
France.
