A.) The Character of the War
Already the name of the event commonly known as the Hundred Years' War (in French : Guerre de Cent Ans ) is problematic, for it lasted 116 years and rather comprises of a series of wars. The core is the conflict between the Plantagenet and the Valois Dynasties, rather than - as historical literature usually states - between England and France. In 1337, it began as a conflict between Edward III., as Duke of Aquitaine, and the King of France; only in 1340 did Edward III., at the request of the burghers of the Flemish city of Gent, permit himself to be proclaimed King of France, a claim upheld throughout most of the war. The Plantagenet vassals in Aquitaine, and in other areas the Plantagenet dynasty temporarily held in France, were often loyal to his cause and feature, in contemporary sources as well as in modern historical literature, as "English". In this context it may be pointed out, that Edward III., as a descendant of the Norman conquerors of England, spoke French.
The war freqently was interrupted by periods of truce, the longest from 1347-1355 and from 1396 (the marriage of King Richard II. and French princess Isabel) to 1413. These periods of truce were violated occasionally.

    Hundred Years' War
    The Hundred Years' War was an intermittent struggle between England and France in the 14th-15th century over a series of disputes, including the question of the legitimate succession to the French crown. The struggle involved several generations of English and French claimants to the crown and actually occupied a period of more than 100 years. By convention it is said to have started in 1337 and ended in 1453, but there had been periodic fighting over the question of English fiefs in France going back to the 12th century. Medieval legalities were such that one king could be the vassal of another king if the first had inherited titles outside his own kingdom. Such was the case with the English kings since William I, who, as the duke of Normandy, had conquered England in 1066. Marriage alliances and wars had altered the nature of the English titles in France, but, at the death of the French king Charles IV in 1328, Edward III of England was also duke of Guyenne (part of Aquitaine in southwestern France) and count of Ponthieu (on the English Channel). Furthermore, because his mother was Charles IV's sister and because Charles IV had no sons, Edward III considered himself a legitimate claimant to the French throne. The other major claimant was the Count of Valois, a grandson of Philip III of France through a younger branch of the family. A French assembly called to settle the question chose the Valois claimant as Philip VI. Edward III appeared to accept the decision, but when Philip VI, afraid of another king's power in his realm, maneuvered to confiscate Guyenne in 1337, Edward III renewed his claim to the French throne and brought an army to Flanders.

Halidon Hill, Battle of : 1333. Edward III’s battle against David Bruce, where his forces, outnumbered, dismounted and held the top of the hill, flanked by archers hidden in bramble and marsh. As the Scots, following their French advisors and experience, charged up the hill, they were destroyed both by the archers and the dismounted English infantry . In this single battle, Edward was able to destroy the bulk of the Scots army and secure for himself both his northern border an the title ‘king of Scotland’, which enabled him to turn his attention to France. It is often called the first battle in the Hundred Years War .

    Research Interests
    I am principally principally interested in political thought, propaganda and public discourse in late medieval France and England. I have written articles on the polemical texts of the Hundred Years War, Sir John Fortescue's use of French sources, the Salic Law, French queenship, Edward III's claim to the French throne and the end of the Hundred Years War. I am currently completing a study of Joan of Arc and with an edition of perhaps the most important French polemical text of the war, Pour ce que plusieurs (1464), together with a previously unknown English reponse to it composed by a Tudor customs official.

    The Effects of the Hundred Years War
    by Rit Nosotro
    Comparative Essay Analyze how the Hundred Years War effected the establishment of strong central monarchies in France and England. The Hundred Years War began in 1337 and lasted until 1453. The fighting, however, was not continual. Instead it was a cycle of battles, peace treaties, and breaches of these peace treaties. At the start of the war in 1337, though serfdom was still in practice, England had already been largely successful in establishing a capable, central monarchy. The monarch, however, was kept in check by the English parliament that had been born during the thirteenth century. It was also limited by its territories in France because the size of the kingdom made it difficult to maintain. France, on the contrary, was somewhat in disarray. States within the country proved divisive because people depended more upon their local ruler than the king. Feudalism was still a strong force and caused the people's allegiance to reside with their particular lord. In addition, the country's fighting techniques were outdated. Because of the development of new weapons, the feudal traditions of knights and chivalry became largely ineffective in war, and this greatly contributed to the initial defeats of the French. But the Hundred Years War brought a change to these things. In England, the Hundred Years War solidified the central monarchy that was already in place and brought about a further decline in feudalistic practices, but it also saw a rise in the importance and power of parliament. France, on the other hand, greatly reduced feudalism within the country and returned more power to the monarch. The same war brought about two different results.

    Pre-requisites
    A pass in at least two history modules from HST200 - HST299.
    Module Summary
    This module will examine the origins, course and impact of the Hundred Years War through extensive use of primary sources in translation (governmental records and literature) and material evidence such as heraldry, stained glass and funerary monuments. It will consider how the conflict encouraged the development of various institutions of the nation state and a sense of national identity in England and France. As well as taking place in a period of transition that witnessed the restructuring of political society and government, the Hundred Years War was a decidedly medieval conflict providing an excellent range of sources to analyse questions regarding chivalry and kingship. Some of these will be studied through the careers of people such as the Black Prince, Philip the Good of Burgundy, Henry V and Joan of Arc.
    Teaching
    This module will be taught through one lecture and one seminar per week, as follows:

    The End of Europe's Middle Ages Hundred Years' War The Hundred Years' War was part of a rivalry between England and France that dated from the Norman conquest of England. It was actually several lengthy campaigns interrupted by periods of peace and truve. All the fighting took place on French soil, placing a heavy burden on the French population. Even when a truce was in effect, mercenary bands pillaged the countryside. The outbreak of the Hundred Years' War can be attributed to several factors. One source of friction between the French and English was the Duchy of Gascony, where both nations claimed control. Gascony enjoyed a profitable trade relationship with England, doing a brisk business in Bordeaux wine and fine English cloth. The conflicting claims led to an inconclusive war between 1294 and 1303 and again led to conflicts in the Hundred Years' War. A second source of friction also had a commercial foundation. Despite a long-standing claim by French monarchy to supreme authority over the Flemish, Flanders had established a strong trading alliance with the English in the wool trade. Since Flanders was the chief market for English wool and export taxes on wool comprised a large part of the English royal revenues, the English king took a great interest in Flemish affairs and resented French interference. Another incentive for war developed when, in 1328, King

    Economy: Glossary Black Death
    The combination of bubonic and pneumonic plagues that entered Europe along Eastern trade routes, sweeping across Europe between 1347-1350. Spread by rats carrying infected fleas, the Plague eliminated between one-fourth and one-third of the population in its first wave. Subsequent outbreaks, which continued into the seventeenth century were far less severe. The Black Death had profound effects on all aspects of medieval life and deeply affected the psychological outlook of Europeans. Ciompi Rebellion
    The Ciompi Rebellion in Florence in 1378 was an attempt by day-labourers and shop owners, mostly in the textile trades, and others of the popolo minuto to achieve a political voice. The goal of the uprising was to address inequalities rather than a complete upheaval of the constitution and the new regime was successful for three years. Three new guilds were created and the committee of priors was adjusted. Although the popolo grasso eventually regained power in 1381, Florentine politics would continue to be influenced by the idea of popular uprisings. English Peasants' Revolt
    The Peasants' Revolt of 1381 in England was a full-scale rebellion that occurred in reaction to the corruption of the regency government that followed the death of Edward III. The government's ineffectiveness in curbing the more extreme excesses of the merchants and nobles against the peasants during the Black Death also contributed to the revolt. The rebels called on the young king, Richard II, to take control of the government and protect the lower classes from the nobility and from the selfish rule of the regency. Some aristocrats were murdered and there was widespread destruction of property, particularly that belonging to the nobility. When a mob marched on London, King Richard courageously went into its midst in order to hear the people's complaints. One of the rebel leaders, Wat Tyler, tried to kill the king, but was himself slain. Shortly thereafter, the rebels dispersed and the nobles joined the other propertied classes in brutal retaliation against the rebels.
