V. 100 Years WarV. 100 Years WarV. 100 Years WarV. 100 Years War
The fourteenth and fifteenth centuries were a time of great upheaval for medieval France. In 1328 the Capetian line came to an end. This was the trigger for the Hundred Years War as successive English kings attempted to uphold their claim to the French throne. A devastating assault was to follow, under the warrior-king Henry V, and the French disintegration continued until 1429. After that date the French began a recovery, partly triggered by the young visionary Joan of Arc, that would end with them as the major European military power.
