      You skip one big event between Poitiers and Bretigny with Edward 3 chevauchee in 1359-1360.
      Edward 3 tried to force the two treaty of London in 1358 and 1359 which will give him a massive ransom and all the land of the old Plantagenet empire but the future Charles 5 and the general estates refused them so Edward start another chevauchee hoping another big battle.
      The Valois refused this battle and close all the cities on their way starting an attrition war.
      Because of the Winchelsea raid, Edward tried to besieged Paris but failed and started to made war crime because the lack of supplies and success in the countryside.
      Finally, Edward stated the siege of Chartres but the Plantagenet suffer a tempest and lose 1000 men and will be seen as a divine punishment for their behaviour called the black monday.
      Edward will be forced to withdraw his chevauchee and finally sign the treaty of Bretigny wich will be far less advantageous than the treaty of London because he had to give up his claim to the french throne, give up the Normandy, Anjou and Maine and only take the Aquitaine and the ransom for Jean 2 will be 3 millions gold instead of 4.

      It also part of the reason the English call the French ‘The Old Enemy’. We have fought for so long and so often that it became a way of life. Glad we are more or less friends politically speaking these days. But the old rivalry is still seen alive mostly in sporting contests. Both parties enjoy getting a victory over the other.

      Something that also adds to this, is the fact that in this war, while spanning an enormous amount of time and land, there were lengthy peaceful intervals inbetween periods of very intense warfare, and certain areas could go years without any sign of a war going on, and then be raided and sieged out of the blue. It was a far less 'cut and dry' affair than we often think of as typical of armed conflicts.

    Funny how Fance and England ended up in opposite positions at the end of the Hundred Year's war. In the 1330s, France was plagued by civil war, a weak monarchy, very strong and powerful nobles, and generally weak and divided. This gave a more centralized, stronger, and powerful English monarchy an opportunity to gather their forces and invade, cultimating in Agincourt in 1415. By the end of the war, it was England that had the weak monarch, had a civil war brewing, a series of battle hardened nobles who won glory in France with enough titles and land to challenge the king, plus they were broke from the oh I don't know, half a dozen invasions of France they had done. But France became a more centralized monarchy, with a standing army, the nobility was subbordinate to the crown, and the experiences of over a century of war made them extremely determined. The main difference is the French never made claims to the English crown, and they never tried to invade England during the War of the Roses. They were too exhausted in both willpower and resources to mount such a campaign. That being said, other than the 1640s, the 1450s was probably the best opportunity in France's history to invade and take over England. They had no real navy, a divided nation, and were weak and humiliated by war. I'm very happy that England (UK now) and France are buddies and they put aside all those centuries of war.

      There's a fair amount wrong with this such as the new class of men who took over the minor royal houses such as York and Lancaster were from trading Magnets and Oxford dons to put it in a really simplistic rubbish modern way. This ofc has something to do with the flower of england being spent in france and the meritocracy from what was then parliament which was expanded and used to transform england into a war economy such as with williams blackbook. Its something that doesnt get told much, how England's foreign policy remained in the hands of local elites who put in place what would be the agricultural revolution along with intellectual capacity for moderating power through again, sorry the the modern simplicity, commercial links with the rest of the british isles,scandinavia, Germany, ottomans (far east) and to russia as was seen in elizabeths reign. And no relations aren't good at all. Whitehall ignores france whilst quai d'orsay plays with toy soldiers. Five eyes, aukus, transpacific partnerships, nuclear subs and ofc brexit. And ofc the English were very much on the back foot against the french.

      The French won a bunch of battles too. They had to in order to win. I think the English doing better at the start had a lot to do with being allied with the Burgundians. The French doing better towards the end and ultimately winning had a lot to do with the Burgundians switching sides. Burgundy was a large kingdom in those days, reaching up all the way from Burgundy in current day France to a large slice of Germany and all the way into current Belgium and the Netherlands. It wasn't the myth, propagated by the typically skewed historical education found in the anglo-sphere, of the plucky English besting the French at Agincourt, Crecy and Poiters. I find it sadly amusing how few people in the anglo-sphere have even heard of Patay, for example, where the longbowmen were finally destroyed by the French.

But I do agree with you that Richard would’ve turned out a different person if his father didn’t die when he was so young. But Richard didn’t have what it took to be a successful king in my view.
      The Plantagenet dynasty would’ve been fine if Richard didn’t alienate half of the mobility and have the Lords Appellants killed years later out of spite. He didn’t learn the dangers of having favorites from Edward II reign.
      The dynasty would’ve collapsed if Henry IV wasn’t such a strong figure,. Although he was a tad too merciful at times. He faced constant civil unrest and turmoil. From the Welsh, the Scottish, the Percys etc. Henry V wouldn’t have had the success in France he had if it wasn’t for the stability his father’s tumultuous reign eventually brought. Because he would’ve been stuck at home dealing with the issues his father dealt with. It would be a different story.

      @@giants2k8 The salic law was already used in 1316 when Philippe 5 take the crown instead of Louis 10 daughter and since then, it will be impossible for women to inherit the crown.
      Even if you don't count the agnatic succession, then the new king after Charles 4 death in 1328 will be any of Charles 4, Philippe 5 or Louis 10 grandson before Edward who's only Philippe 4 grandson.
      It means in 1328, the real king will be Philippe of Burgundy (Philippe 5 grandson) and when the war strated in 1337, there was also 2 Louis 10 grandson (Charles of Navarre and his younger brother) so once again, with or without the salic law (agnatic or cognatic succession), Edward 3 never had a legitimate claim (either it will be in 1328 or 1337).
      Illness indeed weakened Edward Woodstock but Charles 5 was also ill all his life and proved to be a great ruler despite that unlike Edward so his illness will stopped him to fight but not to rule.
      Edward 3 was taken advantage of in his later years but i coul say the same about Philippe 6 and Edward 3 start to lose the war in 1359-1360 when his chevauches miserably failed and forced him to made the treaty of Bretigny instead of the treaty of London in 1358.
      Richard 2 was made king at 10 and had no one to guide him but he was indeed a bad king (like Henry 3 with worse luck) who could be decent if he doesn't had bad odds since the start.
      If we talk again about the salic being invalid, then Henry 4 was a usurper and he indirectly made his grandfather claim nullified but he was good enough to deal with the rebellion he created.
      Henry 5 first and foremost succeed between 1415 and 1422 because France had a civil war since 1407 and a mad king (just like the war of the roses) but it indeed helped him that Henry 4 was a strong figure.
      However, it's because he restart the war in 1415 that his dynasty will collapse in 1471 and his greed will doomed his son and grandson.

      Even if it's not perfect, i think it's the most unbiased video about the 100 years war by an anglo-saxon channel history.
      99% of this anglo-saxon channel will never talk about the 1356-1415 era because it doesn't fit with the narrative "french were dumb and losers and english wins everything until Jeanne of Arc" so KG was more honest than most.
      My only fair complain is that KG don't talk enough about the civil war between armagnacs and burgundians, Charles 6 madness and how it leads to the war of the roses and they should talk more about the battle of Montiel in 1369 that end the castillan civil war instead of the battle of Najera who don't have real impact and was lost because Henri of Trastamare (and it will showed du guesclin dark side when he helped Trastamare to "murdered" Pierre the cruel)

I made it to work just in time to get into the shelters as a tornado warning was going off. It hit about 5 miles east of us. Then I had to turn around and get back home to get my chainsaws as I was a volunteer fire fighter and my department was tasked to aid other departments that were hit. That afternoon another department (cold springs) I believe had one of their engines lifted up and dropped I to lake neely Henry. The chief of the department was in the truck at the time. He survived, but was slightly injured. He had to swim to shore.
