Patrick WymanHOST
We often think of the European Middle Ages as a period defined by its wars.
Patrick WymanHOST
The Crusades, the conflicts between England and Scotland half-remembered in Braveheart, the Spanish Reconquista, and not least, the Hundred Years' War.
Patrick WymanHOST
The Middle Ages were indeed a violent time, though not on the scale of the early modern era that followed, with its increasingly vast armies and decades of devastating war.
Patrick WymanHOST
The Thirty Years' War was orders of magnitude more terrible than its longer medieval predecessor, not that the latter was exactly good for anyone living through it.
Patrick WymanHOST
To understand why Towton 16 and so many others died in the frigid spring of 1461, we need to go back in time.
Patrick WymanHOST
Not just to the beginning of the Wars of the Roses six years earlier, in 1455, but even further, to the first half of the 14th century.
Patrick WymanHOST
When the Hundred Years' War between England and France actually began, or for that matter ended, is a fascinating question.
Patrick WymanHOST
The generally acknowledged start date is 1337, when Edward III of England declared his right to claim the French crown.
Eleanor JanegaHOST
And also the interests of her husband, John IV, the Duke of Brabant.
Eleanor JanegaHOST
And so she's sort of looking at what's going on with the Hundred Years' War and saying, OK, well, I suppose I'll go to England.
Eleanor JanegaHOST
Right.
Eleanor JanegaHOST
Because we need to play our cards as best we can.
Dan JonesHOST
He's made a pretty impressive peace treaty with the coming power on the continent, Spain.
Dan JonesHOST
He's bared his teeth at the King of France, Charles VIII, effectively putting the Hundred Years' War finally to bed, and he extracted a healthy annual income in the form of a French pension.
Dan JonesHOST
But despite all these achievements, 1495 has been a proper stinker, and the strain on Henry is beginning to show.
Dan JonesHOST
At the start of the year, he discovered evidence of treason that went right to the heart of his court, and he was forced to order the trial and execution of his household chamberlain and longtime conciliary, Sir William Stanley.
Lindsay HolidayHOST
They were also cousins, and the duchess's father had deposed the queen's grandfather.
Lindsay HolidayHOST
In 1392, King Charles was marching with his army to yet another battle in the Hundred Years' War with England.
Lindsay HolidayHOST
He had a sudden psychotic break and killed several of his own men with a sword, then fell into a coma.
Lindsay HolidayHOST
The king's mental health deteriorated quickly.

Lindsay HolidayHOST
She also gave her husband sage advice and interceded in diplomacy.
Lindsay HolidayHOST
The couple traveled to Calais to attend the wedding of Isabella of Valois and King Richard II of England, a union which ensured a ceasefire in the Hundred Years' War.
Lindsay HolidayHOST
At the lavish celebration, Joan made the acquaintance of the English king's cousin, Henry Bolingbroke.
Diarmaid MacCullochGUEST
And so they've always exaggerated their importance.
Diarmaid MacCullochGUEST
What they would know is, of course, they've been sort of kicked out of Europe in the 15th century by comprehensively losing the Hundred Years' War, which meant that a lot of their trade would go not to France, the obvious nearest trading partner, but to Northern Europe.
Diarmaid MacCullochGUEST
And that would mean the low countries, but it would also mean the great ports of the Hanseatic League, which ran from northern Germany through, in fact, to Riga.
Diarmaid MacCullochGUEST
Riga was a Hanseatic port, the Hansa, the great traders of northern Europe.
AshleyHOST
As a teenager, she claimed to have seen visions of saints and angels guiding her with divine messages.
AshleyHOST
Her clairvoyance helped shape military strategy, and spiritual leadership during the Hundred Years War, and her visions were often vivid and symbolic, which is just a general hallmark of clairvoyance.
AshleyHOST
If you've ever heard the term crystal or indigo children, these children are often also clairvoyant.
AshleyHOST
Most children naturally actually exhibit clairvoyance before society and their parents and the world conditions them out of it.

and, you know, we've had our differences with France over the last 400 or 500 years.
Mike ParryHOST
You know, the Hundred Years' War was between France and England, a very complicated relationship over the years.
Mike ParryHOST
Going back, you know, back to the Middle Ages, some of the kings of England only spoke French and lived in France and all this kind of stuff, you know.
Mike ParryHOST
So the unison between the two countries has always been close, occasionally been at war, but what a bonding that was last night and...
