The Struggle for the French Crown and the Rise of English Power

The video covers the Hundred Years' War, starting with the succession crisis in France after the death of three kings without heirs. Edward III of England claimed the French throne, leading to conflicts with Philip VI. The war saw significant battles like Crecy and Poitiers, and was interrupted by the Black Death. Hostilities resumed with the Black Prince's victories, but internal strife weakened both nations. Henry V's campaign included the Battle of Agincourt, but Joan of Arc's influence turned the tide for France. The war ended with France united and England retaining only Calais, setting the stage for the War of the Roses.
