"The Hundred Years War: A Tale of Courage, Conflict, and Captivity" In the year 1346, the Battle of Crecy marked the beginning of a long and brutal conflict known as the Hundred Years War. As depicted in an ancient manuscript, French chivalry charged valiantly against English bowmen who stood their ground with unwavering determination. Fast forward to 1415, and another pivotal moment unfolded on the fields of Agincourt. With battle imminent, soldiers prepared for what would become a defining clash. An engraving captures this very scene - English archers poised with their bows ready to unleash deadly arrows upon their foes. The White Tower of London stands tall in a manuscript from Charles d Orleans' poems. He was captured at Agincourt and endured captivity in England for twenty-five years until his release in 1440. This tower witnessed countless tales of triumphs and tragedies throughout this protracted war. One such tragedy was the death of Joan of Arc - a courageous young woman who defied societal norms by donning armor before Orleans. In Jules Eugene Lenepveu's painting from 1886-1890, her indomitable spirit shines through as she fights fearlessly for her country. Amidst these battles and sieges emerged moments that would forever be etched into history. St Crispin's Day became synonymous with bravery as immortalized in an engraving depicting soldiers rallying together under Henry V's leadership during the Battle of Agincourt. Crossbows played a significant role during this era, as illustrated in an image showing English and Welsh archers using them against attacking French armies. Their precision proved vital time after time throughout this lengthy conflict. From Caen to Orleans, towns were ravaged by warfare as seen in Jean Froissart's miniature from Grandes Chroniques de France capturing The Battle Of Caen in 1346. It serves as a reminder of the devastation endured by both sides.
