The House of Capet did not end. It never ended. It still exists today. What happened is that the direct line ended, but the Valois are still Capetians, they are just a cadet branch. They are called Valois because of Charles de Valois, who was a son of King Philippe III. Louis XVI was sent to the guillotine under the name of citizen Louis Capet, even though he was a Bourbon (which claim came from Louis IX, saint Louis). The main claimants to the French throne are still Capetians, because House Capet could always find a male successor to the throne. It's like the Lancasters and the Yorks in England. Both were cadet branches of House Plantagenet. However, House Plantagenet died with Richard III, because Henry VII's claim to the throne derived from his mother Margaret of Beaufort, a great-grand-daughter of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, third son of King Edward III. And so a new dynasty began in England, the Tudors.

Do not know any English sources for Joan of arc. The french sources are suspect. Using language that wasn't used at the time. Including calling her french. Alsace and Lorraine were independent at the time,so not french.
But sir we have some military strategists who can… Listen we have been doing the same mistake for about 90 yezrs now sending cavalry into archer for no reason so listening to a 15 years old who claimed to hear voices and who doesn’t have a single drop of blood that comes from the nobility in her veins doesn’t seem that bad to me.
@@Trebor74 Jeanne of Arc lived at Domrémy which was in the duchy of Barrois. The particularism of the Barrois is that it was split in two parts with the Meuse river between the moving Barrois under the king of france authority and the unmoving Barrois under the holy roman emperor authority. Domrémy was also split between the two Barrois. For Alsace and Lorraine, they were part of the HRE but were de facto united with the Barrois after Isabelle of Lorraine and Renee of Anjou's (Charles 7's brother in law) marriage. so Alsace and Lorraine were not indeed french (at least not territorialy but more culturally) but Jeanne as peasant from the moving Barrois was french (territorially and culturally).
Its not very well known today that after centuries of continuous English rule by the 15th century the people of Gascony considered themselves to be English not French and those on the outside of Gascony referred to Gascons as "the English". Which is why Gascon held out under English rule for so long even after the rest of English France had collapsed. When Charles took Bordeaux in 1451 it was largely due to the incompetence and cowardice of the mayor Gadifer Shorthose. Many Gascons fought with the English armies as militia during this campaign and subsequently many loyal English Gascons were massacred by the French. The Gascons sent a message to England to ask for help which is why Talbot was sent with an army to relieve Gascony. The Gascons viewed Talbot as a liberator not a conqueror
Gascons never were under 'english rule' (english come from 'anglo-saxon', isn't it?). The anglo-saxons were more of a tribe of disorganized plunderers. It was easy for them to attack and raid peaceful celtic villages of GB but they were not up to par with their continental (franks and normands) opponents. Actually, it's the opposite: The english people were under 'Angevin rule' (angevin come from Angers, in Anjou, in France.) 100 years war is a succession/civil war between Plantagenet and Valois dynasties. Both were legitimate in their request, that's why the war lasted 116 years: no one wanted to stop, no one wanted to give up their motherland: all western France for Angevin empire and all eastern France for Capetians Valois. Eventually, each began to 'predate' the territory of the other. However, they were cousins. The Plantagenet people/army was angevine, with ramification of everywhere from Normandy until Gascogne (because of weddings, legacies, alliances etc). Fun fact: absolutely no english ever participated to this Franco-French war. The Anglo-Saxons hated the angevin rulers, the Plantagenets. They had lost their supremacy over GB because of William of Normandy in 1066. They were not going to help his Plantagenet successors... to succeed even more. On the other hand, the Valois cleverly called the Plantagenet and their warriors (yet all born in France regions!) "Les Anglois", to motivate all populations to mobilize against them, implying that they were foreigners/outsiders who were trying to invade the country!
For the Gascony itself by the early 15th century, only Bordeaux and Bayonne (and their neighborhood) remained in the Plantagenet/Lancaster hands until Henry 5 restarted the war so besides those cities, it's weird to think the gascons thought themselves as english. The Plantagenet/Lancaster's rule lasted so long because for those cities (especially Bordeaux) their business was mostly with england because they were granted special privileges and didn't want to lose them by being directly ruled by the kings of france (like all the lands outside the royal domain). For the siege of Bordeaux in 1451, Bordeaux and Dunois's delegation made an agreement that the city will surender after 11 days if Henry 6 didn't send troops to relieve the siege but the agreement was extended for 6 more days. What really doomed Bordeaux was the battle of Male Jornade one year before the siege in 1450 when between 2500 and 5000 soldiers were killed, which depleted Bordeaux's manpower in 1451. Talbot came back at Bordeaux only one year after the siege in October 1452 and only because the treaty granted to Bordeaux after the siege was not respected with a new tax.
Ironically though battle at Crecy was won by England in long term it proved to be a win for France because high number of nobles died in it it allowed french King gain more power which eventually turned into absolutism and highly centralized power.
The video gets the main things right but there are some small mistrakes i'd like to point out: 1) Charles the bad had been scheming against the French way earlier then the capture of John II. Siding with the English multiple times even allegedly allying the Dauphin in a scheme to overthrow John leading to his arrest at Rouen in 1356. When the Paris riots started he escaped imprisonment at Amiens and allied Etienne Marcel, the leader of the Paris rebels. When the Jacquerie started though he switched sides and helped the dauphin suppress the rebellion. 2) In 1368 because of the high taxes raised upon the local nobles in Gascogne it was them, not the Prince who appealed to the French parliament. It was basically a ploy since if they appealed to the parliament of Paris they would signal that they still recognized the French king as overlord of Gascogne and force Charles V to actually intervene on their behalf. 3) While Chinon was briefly taken by Burgundian supporters, in the 1420s it was firmly in the hands of the Dauphinists. The Dauphin didn't take it back with Breton help nor did the English attack Orleans in response. Chinon was just a safe place over the Loire river where the Dauphin held court. The English attacked Orleans because it was a dauphinist stronghold and it held a very important bridge over the Loire river allowing them to plan operations deep in Dauphinist territory. 4) The duke of Burgundy did not give Burgundy back to the French crown nor did he "free" Flanders. At the 1435 treaty of Arras the Burgundians broke their alliance with the English and recognized Charles VII as the king of France in exchange for exception from homage. Meaning they became de facto independent. Burgundy would only come back to the french crown after Charles the bolds death in 1477 and Flanders would stay in the Burgundian/Habsburg family till 1795. Thats about it, good video otherwise
Yes, thank you for your clarifications and extensive stories. We did not talk about Charles II the Evil in detail. We didn't even describe his most famous act, the murder of Marshals Conflan and Clermont, for which he received his nickname. But it is impossible to talk about Jacqueria without mentioning Charles II of Navarre. Similarly, we did not detail the conflict between the Black Prince and the aristocracy of Aquitaine. Though there were tax issues, personal grievances, Edward's failure to comply with financial obligations, and some other trifles. In 1328, Chinon was in the hands of the English Breton feudal lords, who had previously been pro-French (if we define the Dauphinists as pro-French), and were recruited by Arthur de Richemont. And the English campaign against Dauphin Charles stalled at Orleans, which blocked the road to the south. Despite the fact that the Duchy of Burgundy was at the peak of its power at this time, and in fact a state within a state, we must take into account the formal status, where the Duke of Burgundy brought omage to the French king. Philip III of Valois had only one choice: the Englishman Henry Lancaster or the Frenchman Charles of Valois. At first he supported the former, but later he sided with Charles.
@@History_Mapped_Out There's a small mistake at 8:55 as Jean the good was released in 1360 but came back to england in january 1364 (not 1362) because his second son Louis of Anjou who was prisoner since 1361 escaped in late 1363 so Jean chose to not tarnish his honor and became prisoner again.
To be more accurate, it wasn't only the high taxes which made many nobles switch sides but also because the mercenaries who came back from castile after Najera were not paid by Pedro or Edward so they plundered southern france to have money but many of these lands were owned by Edward 3 and Woodstock who were not able to protect their own lands but still tax them heavily. For the local nobles who switched sides, most of them were not from gascony irself (the duchy held by Edward 3 in 1337) but from the lands acquired with Brétigny like the armagnac, rouergue, limousin, périgord or agenais with all of them being reconquered between 1369 and 1370. The coastal lands like the poitou, saintonge or the guyenne (besides bordeaux and bayonne) will take more time to take back between 1372 and 1375 mainly because they had economic interests to stay under Edward's rule.
@@randomuser-xc2wr Louis 8 (aka the heir to the throne of france) wasn't crown king of england because there was no archbishop to anointing him and was just a contested king of england just like Henry 6 will be a contested king of france 200 years later. He didn't left england because of his father's death in 1217 (Philippe 2 aka Louis 8's father will die in 1223) but because with John's death, most of the revolted barons who supported Louis and were against John chose Henry 3 as a new king instead of Louis because the former was a child which means a regency while the latter was a grown man from the continent. In the end, Louis lost at Lincoln, Dover and Sandwich and was forced to sign the treaty of Lambeth which means he had to give up the claim from england but was granted money as compensation while the crown never left the plantagenet dynasty.

@@FranceIsPropertyofEngland that's not true at all? The average was lower because a lot of children died, but once you survived past childhood, people could easily live till 70-80
@@FranceIsPropertyofEngland This is blatantly false, The only reason of why the life expectancy is 30 is because of infant mortality. This is a statistical bias. If you count only people who managed to reach adulthood, it was around 50-60 to 70-80 for nobles with high standards of living
One mistake at the start, Edward 3 didn't really consider war with France until France backed Scotland in their current war with England. That was truly the trigger point for 100-year wars. England only brought the claim up again when France backed Scotland. (France was also threatening Gascony as well). Gascony was important to England not because it could attack France (they held come coastal cities in Flanders as well not mentioned in video) but because it brought significant tax revenue (via tariffs on wine) to the English crown.
Also Gascony is the ancestral home of a lot of the English Aristocracy. Way back whenever Eleanor of Aquitaine became Queen she brought her entire court. The english ties were strong. And the entire Aquitaine always had a fierce independent streak to it. Not as fierce as Scotland but unlike Scotland the Aquitaine is a very wealthy region

Charles the Bad also claimed the Duchy of Burgundy as the most senior heir according to male-preference primogeniture. As the male line had died out in 1361 and his maternal grandmother's line was the most senior one.
In reality, Charles of Navarre had the second best claim if you push aside the salic law. Charles was born in 1332 while the contested succession happened in 1328 so his claim was nonexistant if the Valois dynasty was seen as illegitimate. In 1328 when Charles 4 died, the succession was between three candidates -Edward 3 who was Isabelle's son and Charles 4's nephew -Philippe 6 who was Charles 4's nephew -Philippe of Burgundy who was Philippe 5's grandson and Charles 4's nephew. If Philippe 6 was seen as illegitimate because he wasn't a direct Philippe 4's descendant and the salic law was illegal, then the best claim was Philippe of Burgundy who was a descendant from Charles 4's older brother while Edward 3 was a descendant from Charles's younger sister. For the king of Navarre Henri 4 and because of the salic law, his claim came from his paternal side as he was the 10th generation descendant of Louis 9 and the eldest of any male line remaining.
This is how you measure the greatness and the prestige of two nations. Centuries of wars, which then resulted in rivalry for the control of the colonies... Joan of Arc, Richelieu, Louis XIV, Napoleon, Admiral De Grasse, Napoleon, De Gaulle, Churchill, Henry VIII, Bloody Mary, Cromwell, the Plantagenetus, Richard Lionheart... How fascinating the history of these two ladies is!
Edward III was not only French through is mother (a royal princess of France, daughter of Philipe the fair, great grand daughter of Saint Louis) but also through his father line, as he was a Plantagenet. And all his grandparents were French. He was actually completely French and viewed himself as such.
Even the title is wrong. The real title is The 100 years war : a franco-french dispute. Or: Western vs Eastern France. Or: Plantagenet dynasty vs Valois dynasty in a pinch. In brief it was a civil/succession war between angry cousins. All protagonists come from France regions, being culturally, ethnically, linguistically french hybrids. No english/anglo saxons involved in there: Anglo-saxons hated the Plantagenets (angevine rulers of England), who were successors of William of Normandy, so they certainly weren't going to help them against the Valois.
No 1. Normands are french. They are from Normandie. (Maybe you're confusing them with the Scandinavians "northmen"; like many Anglo-Saxons). 2. Plantagenets were from Anjou/Angers (center west France) and Aquitaine (south west of France). So it's definitively, a french civil war, literaly east against west. But the east was Sovereign and the west, considered as Vassals. It was tense. Afterwards, I don't necessarily expect the English to know that. It’s not their history after all. But, such oversights and approximations on an international video, it's not serious.
Sigh. I am going to tap out after just 1 minute. Edward III never contested the throne after the senior capetian branch died out, because if his dynastic argument was true and the throne could be passed through a female, then he was *not* the candidate, but the king of Navarre, son of the daughter of Louis X. *Everybody* knew that, and that's the reason he went back to England and *did not* prepare for war with France at all. It was only years later (like 9 years later, actually, no less...) that he intervened in the nightmare that was the nearly perpetual conflict of the French Crown with the Flemish cities, in which England had a great interest because of the massive wool trade that England's revenue depended so much. It was *then* and not before that Edward III used his supposed claim to the French throne as a leverage to seek better terms again and again against the French crown. The problem with war, as it usually is, is that this slowly took roots in the English public and royal conscience and ended up becoming a cause in itself (specially after the admittedly stunning English military victories in the next years). For the love of god, if you are going to do *another* video (there are whole series about this in other channels) about the 100 years war, at the very least read Lord Sumption. It's not even a particularly heavy or academic work and it's very easy to get into. You could just have said what I just said in the previous paragraph in two sentences, but instead, you just preferred to say things that are not true and thus invalidate any trust I could have in the rest of the video.
Charles of Navarre was born in 1332 so he wasn't there for the succession of 1328. Without the salic law, the heir was Philippe of Burgundy (Philippe 5's grandson) who was born in 1323.
@@robert-surcouf Very true, thanks for the correction, as others, I was thinking of the first true moment England actually contests the succession (as a side supporting argument for their Flanders intervnetion). In any case, yeah, Edward III never made a serious attempt to contest the Valois succession in the first time (as, even when it was not Charles the Bad, England non-salic argument still did not put Edward Plantagenet in the forefront of the succession then), and even later it was half assed at best, that was more the heart of my point.
@@cathakjordi The medieval succession are always complicated when there's no clear rule but i always with a patriarcal society in the middle ages, the safest way to prevent any conflict was the salic law which was easy to understand. The only thing that i don't know is that if in 1337, Philippe 6 was forced to abdicate because the cognatic succession was applied retrospectively (but with male monarch only), who will be the new king between Philippe of burgundy and Charles of Navarre with the former being born first and Philippe 5's grandson by his first daughter (Philippe 4's second son) while the latter was born second but was Louis 10's grandson (Philippe 4's first son). In the case Philippe of burgundy became the new king, it gave another problem because both him and his son died prematurely in 1346 and 1361 and once again, there will be another conflictual succession between Charles of Navarre and Louis of Flanders (born in 1330 so two years before Charles and Philippe 5's grandson by his second daughter).
@@robert-surcouf Indeed. You are again right in all points, but I think you forget the cause of my comment in the first place, and that was the affirmation of the video that Edward III was contesting the succession as soon as the capetian main branch males died out, and I am saying that is not only not true then, but not true later. The origin of the intervention of Edward III in France is helping out his Flemish allies and protect the English wool trade (and in a second place reinforce his hold on the duchy of Gascony that had been regularly been diminished more and more through legal means by the French crown during the last decades), never claiming the throne of France, that was just a flimsy side argument to legimitize (very tenously) his intervention in French-Flemish affairs, and only much later the succession argument took a life of its own as a reason for the conflicts. It was for the most part of the war just a legal bargaining tool to trade in the peace negotation table. It could be argued that only in the very late Lancastrian phase this was truly pursued, and then only as a target of opportunity. Even after the amazing victory of Poitiers, with the French king captured, the most that the English dared to argue for real is the recovery of all the old Angevin possessions, but never went for the French crown for real.
@@cathakjordi I indeed digress and you're right in your first paragraph (for Henry 5 reasons to restart the start, it's not completely clear if he saw an opportunity of easy conquest because of the armagnac-burgundian civil war, if he wants to shut down the opposition in england against his dynasty with a foreign war or if he really thinking the valois dynasty was illegitimate for the throne unlike him). For the second paragraph, i disagree because France was in a complete disarray until 1364. The first treaty of London was signed in 1358 by Jean the good because his son had to deal with Charles of Navarre, Etienne Marcel and the general estates and it gave Edward 3 all the old Aquitaine from the 12th century, 4 millions gold for Jean's ransom and Edward didn't give up his claim for the throne. This treaty create another turmoil in france with the defestration of 3 marshals of france and the great jacqueries but ended with Etienne marcel's murder, the jacqueries being squashed and Charles of Navarre's popularity decreased which lead the future Charles 5 to become officially regent and nullified the first treaty signed by Jean. Jean who was scared to lost the power signed the second treaty of London in 1359 wich was the same as the first treaty plus Normandy, Maine, Touraine, Anjou and Britanny while ransom deadline will be sooner. Soon after, Charles and the general estates refused the second treaty which means for Edward 3 a declaration of war and he made a new chevauchee to take Reims and became king but Charles chose to use guerilla warfare by avoiding pitch battles and the chevauchee ended as a failure with Edward 3 being unable to take Reims or Paris ( a thousand died in the black monday). The chevauchee ended with the treaty of Brétigny which gave Edward the old aquitaine and a 4 millions gold ransom but he had to give up the claim for the throne and all the other lands from the second treaty of london. The only reason why Edward chevauchee failed in 1359-1360 (and all the next ones xill fail too) is because Edward faced for the first time, an opponent who unlike his predecessors didn't care about the honor but want to keep his future crown and kingdom and with anyone against him besides Charles, Edward will likely became king of france in 1360 or could take even more than what he stated in the second treaty of london.

"The capetian dynasty ceased to exist" Literally the first statement and it's already a falsehood. It's the house of Capet that ceased to exist, not the entire family
I do understand that the English nobility got slaughtered at the Battle of Hastings, there was no England it was a Norman conquest of England, these Kings were Normans not English they spoke French, it was like Norman1 vs Norman 2
The French royal dynasty was definitively not Norman. The Capetians and the Valois both hailed from the Ile de France. And you could argue that since the Plantagenets hailed in the male line from the house of Anjou, they were also not Normans. They both were French noble houses though and it is true that up till Henry 4 they both would have spoken French rather then English. The more the war dragged out, the more its leaders tried to frame it as a conflict between peoples rather then a dynastic spat between two very closely linked royal families.
The Normans were not Norman's. 😂😂 Normandy is a generic name like England . It means nothing. Rollo was given a tiny territory around Rouen after having been crushed by the Robertians ( capers) . The Carolingian king was far more afraid of the Robertians than of the poor vikings. 😂😂😂. The dukes extended their rule but it was very common for every french feudal lord. Normandy then was absolutely not Scandinavian.
Plantagenets and their warriors were all born in France (between Britanny/Normandy to Aquitaine/Guyenne) or all of frank and normand ancestry and culture. 100 years war is a 'franco-french' succession dispute in which no English or Anglo Saxon was involved. The Anglo-Saxons weren't going to help the French rulers of England (Plantagenet) anyway.
It became basically an occupation war, which always gets one-sided as the nation is against you. The English overstepped with trying to acquire the French crown. They could have put a puppet on the thrown or something similar to get away with it maybe.
@@tip00former1 It was hypocritical for Henry 5 trying to dismiss the salic law while he was king of england because the lancaster were the senior male line related with Edward 3 (which also denied Edward 3 claim for the throne of france). Even if Charles 7 was judged illegitimate, Henry's marriage with Catherine didn't make him Charles 6's heir because Catherine was Charles 6's youngest daughter (and 2nd youngest child after Charles 7) so : -by salic law/agnatic succession, the heir will be one of Charles 6's nephew (both were prisoner since Azincourt) -by cognatic succession, the heir will Francois, son of Jean 5 of brittany and Jeanne of france who was Charles 6's eldest daughter and Catherine's oldest sister

What make the difference at the start of the 100YW was that england had his own military revolution in the early 1330's with the rise of archery which started in the second scotish independance with battles like Dupplin Moor or Hallidon hill. On the opposite, until the late 1320's and the war of saint sardos or the first scotish independance war, england had the same war tactics as the other kingdoms which made theor own revolution later (France made her own partially in the 1360's with the guerilla warfare and completely in the 1430's with artillery)

When Napoleon said history is just a collection of lies you all agree upon, you French literally took it as the truth and now think history csn just be changed and lied about to suit your imagination.

Sorry but that map in the thumbnail is hilariously incorrect, Wales and England weren't joined until 1536. Why do so many want to erase the presence of the Britons before England's adoption of the term?
Southern Wales was brought under English rule pretty much at the time when most of England was set on fire, after the Norman invasion. By the 14th century all of Wales was under the authority of the English crown. Not sure where you got 1536 from. So you cannot erase a culture that was no longer a sovereign power, plus at this point in history people all over the British Isles would of identified as 'Briton' and not just in Wales.
The status of Wales in those years was indeed quite separate from England. However, its head, the Prince of Wales, was then an English feudal lord - a prince from England. Therefore, it is not surprising that in 1400, Owain Glyndŵr had to raise a Welsh uprising against the English.
@@UkSapyy He refers to 1536 because that is the year Wales was annexed into the Kingdom of England, however Wales was ruled by England long before then

Henry VI should have accepted the treaty of Arras in 1435, he was offered by Charles VII to keep Aquitaine if he renounced his claim to the crown of France.
@seigneurcanardo7030 There were regularly more English troops on certain battlefields because the French constantly got outmaneuvered and betrayed by their own.

Henry VI was indeed an infant in 1422, but not in 1435/1453, and it didnt prevent the English to win at Verneuil or Cravant. (and he was a poor leader, because he was probably as mad as Charles VI). Patay (1429) for instance was an "Azincourt in reverse" when the french knights charge was faster than the English archery. Battles like Beaugé, Blanquefort (or "male jornade"), Beaugency were won by the French (or Scots at Beaugé) despite being outnumbered. La Brossiniere is an exemple of a strong army of looter (after a pillaging expedition to Anjou and Maine) were trashed by a smaller and more organized french battalion. It was winnable for the English with the treaty of Troyes (1420), or at least with an honorable end with the treaty of Arras (1435).
In other words, a substantial part of western France rightfully belonged to these "English" kings, the Plantagenets, as they were actually "French" and still owned their lands and domains in western France even after taking the English throne. So England was ripped off ! I suppose most of these battles -at least in the first part of the 100-year-War- were fought in French language as well ah ah. Eventually, all these male lords of war fought for nothing, winning what they lost, losing what they won over and over again until the continental side conjured up a young female shepherd to make a decisive difference. It sounds like a good fiction tale. Has that war ever really ended though ? Recently, the English have been trying to reconquer the Dordogne county, imposing tea at 11 and bent bananas. "Jeanne ! Au secours !"

The House of Capet did not end. It never ended. It still exists today. What happened is that the direct line ended, but the Valois are still Capetians, they are just a cadet branch. They are called Valois because of Charles de Valois, who was a son of King Philippe III. Louis XVI was sent to the guillotine under the name of citizen Louis Capet, even though he was a Bourbon (which claim came from Louis IX, saint Louis). The main claimants to the French throne are still Capetians, because House Capet could always find a male successor to the throne. It's like the Lancasters and the Yorks in England. Both were cadet branches of House Plantagenet. However, House Plantagenet died with Richard III, because Henry VII's claim to the throne derived from his mother Margaret of Beaufort, a great-grand-daughter of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, third son of King Edward III. And so a new dynasty began in England, the Tudors.

@@Trebor74 Jeanne of Arc lived at Domrémy which was in the duchy of Barrois.
The particularism of the Barrois is that it was split in two parts with the Meuse river between the moving Barrois under the king of france authority and the unmoving Barrois under the holy roman emperor authority.
Domrémy was also split between the two Barrois.
For Alsace and Lorraine, they were part of the HRE but were de facto united with the Barrois after Isabelle of Lorraine and Renee of Anjou's (Charles 7's brother in law) marriage. so Alsace and Lorraine were not indeed french (at least not territorialy but more culturally) but Jeanne as peasant from the moving Barrois was french (territorially and culturally).

Its not very well known today that after centuries of continuous English rule by the 15th century the people of Gascony considered themselves to be English not French and those on the outside of Gascony referred to Gascons as "the English". Which is why Gascon held out under English rule for so long even after the rest of English France had collapsed. When Charles took Bordeaux in 1451 it was largely due to the incompetence and cowardice of the mayor Gadifer Shorthose. Many Gascons fought with the English armies as militia during this campaign and subsequently many loyal English Gascons were massacred by the French. The Gascons sent a message to England to ask for help which is why Talbot was sent with an army to relieve Gascony. The Gascons viewed Talbot as a liberator not a conqueror
Gascons never were under 'english rule' (english come from 'anglo-saxon', isn't it?). The anglo-saxons were more of a tribe of disorganized plunderers. It was easy for them to attack and raid peaceful celtic villages of GB but they were not up to par with their continental (franks and normands) opponents.
Actually, it's the opposite: The english people were under 'Angevin rule' (angevin come from Angers, in Anjou, in France.)
100 years war is a succession/civil war between Plantagenet and Valois dynasties. Both were legitimate in their request, that's why the war lasted 116 years: no one wanted to stop, no one wanted to give up their motherland: all western France for Angevin empire and all eastern France for Capetians Valois. Eventually, each began to 'predate' the territory of the other. However, they were cousins.
The Plantagenet people/army was angevine, with ramification of everywhere from Normandy until Gascogne (because of weddings, legacies, alliances etc).
Fun fact: absolutely no english ever participated to this Franco-French war. The Anglo-Saxons hated the angevin rulers, the Plantagenets. They had lost their supremacy over GB because of William of Normandy in 1066. They were not going to help his Plantagenet successors... to succeed even more.
On the other hand, the Valois cleverly called the Plantagenet and their warriors (yet all born in France regions!) "Les Anglois", to motivate all populations to mobilize against them, implying that they were foreigners/outsiders who were trying to invade the country!
For the Gascony itself by the early 15th century, only Bordeaux and Bayonne (and their neighborhood) remained in the Plantagenet/Lancaster hands until Henry 5 restarted the war so besides those cities, it's weird to think the gascons thought themselves as english.
The Plantagenet/Lancaster's rule lasted so long because for those cities (especially Bordeaux) their business was mostly with england because they were granted special privileges and didn't want to lose them by being directly ruled by the kings of france (like all the lands outside the royal domain).
For the siege of Bordeaux in 1451, Bordeaux and Dunois's delegation made an agreement that the city will surender after 11 days if Henry 6 didn't send troops to relieve the siege but the agreement was extended for 6 more days.
What really doomed Bordeaux was the battle of Male Jornade one year before the siege in 1450 when between 2500 and 5000 soldiers were killed, which depleted Bordeaux's manpower in 1451.
Talbot came back at Bordeaux only one year after the siege in October 1452 and only because the treaty granted to Bordeaux after the siege was not respected with a new tax.
Ironically though battle at Crecy was won by England in long term it proved to be a win for France because high number of nobles died in it it allowed french King gain more power which eventually turned into absolutism and highly centralized power.

Still need time but yeah that help the french crown to centralise the country.
It's like battle of Bouvines for England. It triggered the Magna Carta and birthed English nationalism.
This channel is amazing, keep up the great work ❤🎉
Thank you for the video😊
The video gets the main things right but there are some small mistrakes i'd like to point out:
1) Charles the bad had been scheming against the French way earlier then the capture of John II. Siding with the English multiple times even allegedly allying the Dauphin in a scheme to overthrow John leading to his arrest at Rouen in 1356. When the Paris riots started he escaped imprisonment at Amiens and allied Etienne Marcel, the leader of the Paris rebels. When the Jacquerie started though he switched sides and helped the dauphin suppress the rebellion.
2) In 1368 because of the high taxes raised upon the local nobles in Gascogne it was them, not the Prince who appealed to the French parliament. It was basically a ploy since if they appealed to the parliament of Paris they would signal that they still recognized the French king as overlord of Gascogne and force Charles V to actually intervene on their behalf.
3) While Chinon was briefly taken by Burgundian supporters, in the 1420s it was firmly in the hands of the Dauphinists. The Dauphin didn't take it back with Breton help nor did the English attack Orleans in response. Chinon was just a safe place over the Loire river where the Dauphin held court. The English attacked Orleans because it was a dauphinist stronghold and it held a very important bridge over the Loire river allowing them to plan operations deep in Dauphinist territory.
4) The duke of Burgundy did not give Burgundy back to the French crown nor did he "free" Flanders. At the 1435 treaty of Arras the Burgundians broke their alliance with the English and recognized Charles VII as the king of France in exchange for exception from homage. Meaning they became de facto independent. Burgundy would only come back to the french crown after Charles the bolds death in 1477 and Flanders would stay in the Burgundian/Habsburg family till 1795.
Thats about it, good video otherwise
Yes, thank you for your clarifications and extensive stories. We did not talk about Charles II the Evil in detail. We didn't even describe his most famous act, the murder of Marshals Conflan and Clermont, for which he received his nickname. But it is impossible to talk about Jacqueria without mentioning Charles II of Navarre. Similarly, we did not detail the conflict between the Black Prince and the aristocracy of Aquitaine. Though there were tax issues, personal grievances, Edward's failure to comply with financial obligations, and some other trifles. In 1328, Chinon was in the hands of the English Breton feudal lords, who had previously been pro-French (if we define the Dauphinists as pro-French), and were recruited by Arthur de Richemont. And the English campaign against Dauphin Charles stalled at Orleans, which blocked the road to the south. Despite the fact that the Duchy of Burgundy was at the peak of its power at this time, and in fact a state within a state, we must take into account the formal status, where the Duke of Burgundy brought omage to the French king. Philip III of Valois had only one choice: the Englishman Henry Lancaster or the Frenchman Charles of Valois. At first he supported the former, but later he sided with Charles.
@@History_Mapped_Out There's a small mistake at 8:55 as Jean the good was released in 1360 but came back to england in january 1364 (not 1362) because his second son Louis of Anjou who was prisoner since 1361 escaped in late 1363 so Jean chose to not tarnish his honor and became prisoner again.
To be more accurate, it wasn't only the high taxes which made many nobles switch sides but also because the mercenaries who came back from castile after Najera were not paid by Pedro or Edward so they plundered southern france to have money but many of these lands were owned by Edward 3 and Woodstock who were not able to protect their own lands but still tax them heavily.
For the local nobles who switched sides, most of them were not from gascony irself (the duchy held by Edward 3 in 1337) but from the lands acquired with Brétigny like the armagnac, rouergue, limousin, périgord or agenais with all of them being reconquered between 1369 and 1370.
The coastal lands like the poitou, saintonge or the guyenne (besides bordeaux and bayonne) will take more time to take back between 1372 and 1375 mainly because they had economic interests to stay under Edward's rule.
@@randomuser-xc2wr Louis 8 (aka the heir to the throne of france) wasn't crown king of england because there was no archbishop to anointing him and was just a contested king of england just like Henry 6 will be a contested king of france 200 years later.
He didn't left england because of his father's death in 1217 (Philippe 2 aka Louis 8's father will die in 1223) but because with John's death, most of the revolted barons who supported Louis and were against John chose Henry 3 as a new king instead of Louis because the former was a child which means a regency while the latter was a grown man from the continent.
In the end, Louis lost at Lincoln, Dover and Sandwich and was forced to sign the treaty of Lambeth which means he had to give up the claim from england but was granted money as compensation while the crown never left the plantagenet dynasty.

I think these videos are great!!
The effort you put into this video is amazing
One mistake at the start, Edward 3 didn't really consider war with France until France backed Scotland in their current war with England. That was truly the trigger point for 100-year wars. England only brought the claim up again when France backed Scotland. (France was also threatening Gascony as well). Gascony was important to England not because it could attack France (they held come coastal cities in Flanders as well not mentioned in video) but because it brought significant tax revenue (via tariffs on wine) to the English crown.
Also Gascony is the ancestral home of a lot of the English Aristocracy. Way back whenever Eleanor of Aquitaine became Queen she brought her entire court. The english ties were strong. And the entire Aquitaine always had a fierce independent streak to it. Not as fierce as Scotland but unlike Scotland the Aquitaine is a very wealthy region

The king of navarre had the best claim. Ironically, one day his descendant, another king of navarre, would become king of france as henri iv
In reality, Charles of Navarre had the second best claim if you push aside the salic law.
Charles was born in 1332 while the contested succession happened in 1328 so his claim was nonexistant if the Valois dynasty was seen as illegitimate.
In 1328 when Charles 4 died, the succession was between three candidates
-Edward 3 who was Isabelle's son and Charles 4's nephew
-Philippe 6 who was Charles 4's nephew
-Philippe of Burgundy who was Philippe 5's grandson and Charles 4's nephew.
If Philippe 6 was seen as illegitimate because he wasn't a direct Philippe 4's descendant and the salic law was illegal, then the best claim was Philippe of Burgundy who was a descendant from Charles 4's older brother while Edward 3 was a descendant from Charles's younger sister.
For the king of Navarre Henri 4 and because of the salic law, his claim came from his paternal side as he was the 10th generation descendant of Louis 9 and the eldest of any male line remaining.

Edward III was not only French through is mother (a royal princess of France, daughter of Philipe the fair, great grand daughter of Saint Louis) but also through his father line, as he was a Plantagenet. And all his grandparents were French. He was actually completely French and viewed himself as such.
Even the title is wrong. The real title is The 100 years war : a franco-french dispute. Or: Western vs Eastern France. Or: Plantagenet dynasty vs Valois dynasty in a pinch. In brief it was a civil/succession war between angry cousins. All protagonists come from France regions, being culturally, ethnically, linguistically french hybrids. No english/anglo saxons involved in there: Anglo-saxons hated the Plantagenets (angevine rulers of England), who were successors of William of Normandy, so they certainly weren't going to help them against the Valois.
So it was Normans vs French
No 1. Normands are french. They are from Normandie. (Maybe you're confusing them with the Scandinavians "northmen"; like many Anglo-Saxons).
2. Plantagenets were from Anjou/Angers (center west France) and Aquitaine (south west of France).
So it's definitively, a french civil war, literaly east against west. But the east was Sovereign and the west, considered as Vassals. It was tense.
Afterwards, I don't necessarily expect the English to know that. It’s not their history after all. But, such oversights and approximations on an international video, it's not serious.
Sigh. I am going to tap out after just 1 minute. Edward III never contested the throne after the senior capetian branch died out, because if his dynastic argument was true and the throne could be passed through a female, then he was *not* the candidate, but the king of Navarre, son of the daughter of Louis X. *Everybody* knew that, and that's the reason he went back to England and *did not* prepare for war with France at all. It was only years later (like 9 years later, actually, no less...) that he intervened in the nightmare that was the nearly perpetual conflict of the French Crown with the Flemish cities, in which England had a great interest because of the massive wool trade that England's revenue depended so much. It was *then* and not before that Edward III used his supposed claim to the French throne as a leverage to seek better terms again and again against the French crown. The problem with war, as it usually is, is that this slowly took roots in the English public and royal conscience and ended up becoming a cause in itself (specially after the admittedly stunning English military victories in the next years).
For the love of god, if you are going to do *another* video (there are whole series about this in other channels) about the 100 years war, at the very least read Lord Sumption. It's not even a particularly heavy or academic work and it's very easy to get into. You could just have said what I just said in the previous paragraph in two sentences, but instead, you just preferred to say things that are not true and thus invalidate any trust I could have in the rest of the video.
Charles of Navarre was born in 1332 so he wasn't there for the succession of 1328.
Without the salic law, the heir was Philippe of Burgundy (Philippe 5's grandson) who was born in 1323.
@@robert-surcouf Very true, thanks for the correction, as others, I was thinking of the first true moment England actually contests the succession (as a side supporting argument for their Flanders intervnetion). In any case, yeah, Edward III never made a serious attempt to contest the Valois succession in the first time (as, even when it was not Charles the Bad, England non-salic argument still did not put Edward Plantagenet in the forefront of the succession then), and even later it was half assed at best, that was more the heart of my point.
@@cathakjordi The medieval succession are always complicated when there's no clear rule but i always with a patriarcal society in the middle ages, the safest way to prevent any conflict was the salic law which was easy to understand.
The only thing that i don't know is that if in 1337, Philippe 6 was forced to abdicate because the cognatic succession was applied retrospectively (but with male monarch only), who will be the new king between Philippe of burgundy and Charles of Navarre with the former being born first and Philippe 5's grandson by his first daughter (Philippe 4's second son) while the latter was born second but was Louis 10's grandson (Philippe 4's first son).
In the case Philippe of burgundy became the new king, it gave another problem because both him and his son died prematurely in 1346 and 1361 and once again, there will be another conflictual succession between Charles of Navarre and Louis of Flanders (born in 1330 so two years before Charles and Philippe 5's grandson by his second daughter).
@@robert-surcouf Indeed. You are again right in all points, but I think you forget the cause of my comment in the first place, and that was the affirmation of the video that Edward III was contesting the succession as soon as the capetian main branch males died out, and I am saying that is not only not true then, but not true later. The origin of the intervention of Edward III in France is helping out his Flemish allies and protect the English wool trade (and in a second place reinforce his hold on the duchy of Gascony that had been regularly been diminished more and more through legal means by the French crown during the last decades), never claiming the throne of France, that was just a flimsy side argument to legimitize (very tenously) his intervention in French-Flemish affairs, and only much later the succession argument took a life of its own as a reason for the conflicts. It was for the most part of the war just a legal bargaining tool to trade in the peace negotation table. It could be argued that only in the very late Lancastrian phase this was truly pursued, and then only as a target of opportunity.
Even after the amazing victory of Poitiers, with the French king captured, the most that the English dared to argue for real is the recovery of all the old Angevin possessions, but never went for the French crown for real.
@@cathakjordi I indeed digress and you're right in your first paragraph (for Henry 5 reasons to restart the start, it's not completely clear if he saw an opportunity of easy conquest because of the armagnac-burgundian civil war, if he wants to shut down the opposition in england against his dynasty with a foreign war or if he really thinking the valois dynasty was illegitimate for the throne unlike him).
For the second paragraph, i disagree because France was in a complete disarray until 1364.
The first treaty of London was signed in 1358 by Jean the good because his son had to deal with Charles of Navarre, Etienne Marcel and the general estates and it gave Edward 3 all the old Aquitaine from the 12th century, 4 millions gold for Jean's ransom and Edward didn't give up his claim for the throne.
This treaty create another turmoil in france with the defestration of 3 marshals of france and the great jacqueries but ended with Etienne marcel's murder, the jacqueries being squashed and Charles of Navarre's popularity decreased which lead the future Charles 5 to become officially regent and nullified the first treaty signed by Jean.
Jean who was scared to lost the power signed the second treaty of London in 1359 wich was the same as the first treaty plus Normandy, Maine, Touraine, Anjou and Britanny while ransom deadline will be sooner.
Soon after, Charles and the general estates refused the second treaty which means for Edward 3 a declaration of war and he made a new chevauchee to take Reims and became king but Charles chose to use guerilla warfare by avoiding pitch battles and the chevauchee ended as a failure with Edward 3 being unable to take Reims or Paris ( a thousand died in the black monday).
The chevauchee ended with the treaty of Brétigny which gave Edward the old aquitaine and a 4 millions gold ransom but he had to give up the claim for the throne and all the other lands from the second treaty of london.
The only reason why Edward chevauchee failed in 1359-1360 (and all the next ones xill fail too) is because Edward faced for the first time, an opponent who unlike his predecessors didn't care about the honor but want to keep his future crown and kingdom and with anyone against him besides Charles, Edward will likely became king of france in 1360 or could take even more than what he stated in the second treaty of london.

I do understand that the English nobility got slaughtered at the Battle of Hastings, there was no England it was a Norman conquest of England, these Kings were Normans not English they spoke French, it was like Norman1 vs Norman 2
During the Edwardian and Castilian faze of the war I agree, but during the Lancastrian faze all English nobility spoke English as their first language
The French royal dynasty was definitively not Norman. The Capetians and the Valois both hailed from the Ile de France. And you could argue that since the Plantagenets hailed in the male line from the house of Anjou, they were also not Normans. They both were French noble houses though and it is true that up till Henry 4 they both would have spoken French rather then English. The more the war dragged out, the more its leaders tried to frame it as a conflict between peoples rather then a dynastic spat between two very closely linked royal families.
The Normans were not Norman's. 😂😂 Normandy is a generic name like England . It means nothing. Rollo was given a tiny territory around Rouen after having been crushed by the Robertians ( capers) . The Carolingian king was far more afraid of the Robertians than of the poor vikings. 😂😂😂. The dukes extended their rule but it was very common for every french feudal lord. Normandy then was absolutely not Scandinavian.

Apparently this war cost france 1,700,000 lives
Imagine France lose the Hundred years War and ruled by a English Monarch.
It would be a French monarch really, the ruling class of England was culturally French
Plantagenets and their warriors were all born in France (between Britanny/Normandy to Aquitaine/Guyenne) or all of frank and normand ancestry and culture. 100 years war is a 'franco-french' succession dispute in which no English or Anglo Saxon was involved. The Anglo-Saxons weren't going to help the French rulers of England (Plantagenet) anyway.
really not happy with the amount of ai-generated images used in a historical video. seems misinformative and lazy
Keep in mind that these people are our ancestors
England was ruled by French political establishments throughout its history. The Angevin Empire ruled England from France.
Why paris is in river
because it was built around w river
Even in civil war and with burgundy and britanny against the rest of france the english still cant beat the french 😂
It became basically an occupation war, which always gets one-sided as the nation is against you. The English overstepped with trying to acquire the French crown. They could have put a puppet on the thrown or something similar to get away with it maybe.
@@tip00former1 It was hypocritical for Henry 5 trying to dismiss the salic law while he was king of england because the lancaster were the senior male line related with Edward 3 (which also denied Edward 3 claim for the throne of france).
Even if Charles 7 was judged illegitimate, Henry's marriage with Catherine didn't make him Charles 6's heir because Catherine was Charles 6's youngest daughter (and 2nd youngest child after Charles 7) so :
-by salic law/agnatic succession, the heir will be one of Charles 6's nephew (both were prisoner since Azincourt)
-by cognatic succession, the heir will Francois, son of Jean 5 of brittany and Jeanne of france who was Charles 6's eldest daughter and Catherine's oldest sister
The English also had their own civil war and invasion by the Scots. The French people in England were just better at the beginning of the war than the French people in France were.
@@paulraines9635 England's civil war started in 1455 while the 100YW ended in 1453 so both are unrelated (unlike france's civil war which started in 1407 and ended in 1435, meaning that between 1415 and 1435, england had many allies in france)
There was always tension at the english/scotish border but england indeed suffered two defeats at Piperdean in 1436 and Sark in 1448.
What make the difference at the start of the 100YW was that england had his own military revolution in the early 1330's with the rise of archery which started in the second scotish independance with battles like Dupplin Moor or Hallidon hill.
On the opposite, until the late 1320's and the war of saint sardos or the first scotish independance war, england had the same war tactics as the other kingdoms which made theor own revolution later (France made her own partially in the 1360's with the guerilla warfare and completely in the 1430's with artillery)
@@robert-surcouf Are you totally insane? The Wars of the Roses and the end of the 100YW are directly linked. My God. I get sick of the constant French lies and French bias. It's exhausting seeing the millions of comments just all packed with extreme levels of French cope. When Napoleon said history is just a collection of lies you all agree upon, you French literally took it as the truth and now think history csn just be changed and lied about to suit your imagination.
The English civil war started because the Duke of York wanted to carry on the legacy of Henry V and focus all their resources on fighting in France. Meanwhile Henry VI's court were taking advantage of his mental illness to enrich themselves, they believed thier postion in France was secure and didn't need to put as much effort into fighting France. Basically the Lancasters got lazy and thought the war was over and the Yorkists knew work still had to be done and it broke England down into civil war. It's not like the 100YW magically ended on one day and the civil war magically started on another...the two are over lapped.
Who stole whose idea? There's a Ukrainian UA-cam channel "Історія на карті" and they posted the same video in Ukrainian 8 days ago
Sorry but that map in the thumbnail is hilariously incorrect, Wales and England weren't joined until 1536. Why do so many want to erase the presence of the Britons before England's adoption of the term?
Southern Wales was brought under English rule pretty much at the time when most of England was set on fire, after the Norman invasion. By the 14th century all of Wales was under the authority of the English crown. Not sure where you got 1536 from. So you cannot erase a culture that was no longer a sovereign power, plus at this point in history people all over the British Isles would of identified as 'Briton' and not just in Wales.
The status of Wales in those years was indeed quite separate from England. However, its head, the Prince of Wales, was then an English feudal lord - a prince from England. Therefore, it is not surprising that in 1400, Owain Glyndŵr had to raise a Welsh uprising against the English.
EU4 has it wrong???
Wales was conquered by Edward I, it was a principality under English suzerainty, hence why there were wars of rebellion in Wales!
@@UkSapyy He refers to 1536 because that is the year Wales was annexed into the Kingdom of England, however Wales was ruled by England long before then
In the same period 1340 to 1453 .. Turks destroyed Byzantium empire and captured Constantinople
Imagine england has conquered all of france before starting its empire

the capetian dynsty didnt stop to exist. Just another branch of it took the crown
Th black prince goes so fucking hard as a name
France has a male only succession, so realistically the English had no claim

So the 100 years war is literally england owning parts of france😪
The English took advantage of the fact that France was in a civil war to attack it.
It's literally totally the opposite : French people who ruled England, trying to not lose their motherland in France (all western France!)
The French outnumered England 2 to 1 and still lost 70% of the battles. Brits loved to fight so much they fought themselves when they ran out of french targets
well no, England wasn't outnumbered especially with large lands on the continent (Aquitaine) before the war and with a strong ally (Burgundy). England won less than 40% of the battle, you just learned about english victories, I bet you never heard about Saint Omer, Pontvallain, Gerberoy, Blanquefort, La Brossiniere or Cocherel for instance
@seigneurcanardo7030 France has always outnumbered England. Legit a fact. And nah if u span the entire century long conflict England won the most battles. The English kings just couldn't raise kids to succeed the occupation
@@miketime4290 the Plantagenet wouldnt have had any problem to rule the kingdom of France. Edward III was the grandson of the king Philippe IV le Bel, the son of Isabelle de France and nephew of three King of France Philippe V, Charles IV and Louis X. There were regularly more english troops on the battlefield (Saint Omer, Pontvallain, Castillon, Formigny, Beaugé, Patay, or Cocherel to name a few), and the Valois, at the end, won more battles despite having a mad king (Charles VI) for 42 years. Henry VI should have accepted the treaty of Arras in 1435, he was offered by Charles VII to keep Aquitaine if he renounced his claim to the crown of France.
@seigneurcanardo7030 There were regularly more English troops on certain battlefields because the French constantly got outmaneuvered and betrayed by their own. English started losing because the French got canons first. The mad king worked in France's favor because the nobles were able to raise multiple armies. Henry VI was literally a manchild he should have taken aquitaine and Normandy and sold back the other lands to maintain those two duchies
@@miketime4290 Not at all, the first canons came at Formigny (1450), and were barely used. Artillery was used for the first time at Castillon when it was almost over for the English (and when a bigger army, led by Talbot, strangely charged Jean Bureau's cannons).
Henry VI was indeed an infant in 1422, but not in 1435/1453, and it didnt prevent the English to win at Verneuil or Cravant. (and he was a poor leader, because he was probably as mad as Charles VI).
Patay (1429) for instance was an "Azincourt in reverse" when the french knights charge was faster than the English archery. Battles like Beaugé, Blanquefort (or "male jornade"), Beaugency were won by the French (or Scots at Beaugé) despite being outnumbered.
La Brossiniere is an exemple of a strong army of looter (after a pillaging expedition to Anjou and Maine) were trashed by a smaller and more organized french battalion.
It was winnable for the English with the treaty of Troyes (1420), or at least with an honorable end with the treaty of Arras (1435).
Bro the bratange was inispedence until 1532
Game of reality
du Guesclin cleaned up hard
In other words, a substantial part of western France rightfully belonged to these "English" kings, the Plantagenets, as they were actually "French" and still owned their lands and domains in western France even after taking the English throne. So England was ripped off !
I suppose most of these battles -at least in the first part of the 100-year-War- were fought in French language as well ah ah.
Eventually, all these male lords of war fought for nothing, winning what they lost, losing what they won over and over again until the continental side conjured up a young female shepherd to make a decisive difference. It sounds like a good fiction tale.
Has that war ever really ended though ? Recently, the English have been trying to reconquer the Dordogne county, imposing tea at 11 and bent bananas. "Jeanne ! Au secours !"
good video should use less ai art though

Not really no
Please, I beg you, look up the pronunciations of these French towns and cities. You don't have to get them 100% accurate, but you will feel very embarrassed once you learn how 'Reims' is pronounced... (clue: it kind of rhymes with 'France')
I am French from bordeaux, we have many british people living here. I side with the British people because here we don't like Parisians and its totalitarian regime, we want to re-join the united kingdom because King Charles is our real king.
