"The Hundred Years War: A Centennial Struggle for Supremacy" In the year 1415, amidst the sprawling fields of Agincourt, France, a historic battle was about to unfold. The clash between the French and English forces would forever be etched in history books. As the sun rose on that fateful day, archers stood resolute at the forefront while cavalry amassed behind them. This conflict was not an isolated event but rather part of a larger struggle known as the Hundred Years War. Angevin kings held territories in both France and Britain, fueling tensions that escalated into this prolonged conflict. One key element that defined this war was the prowess of English longbowmen. Their deadly accuracy and range proved decisive time and again throughout this century-long confrontation. Such skill played a pivotal role in securing victory for England during battles like Agincourt. The White Tower of London witnessed many tales from this tumultuous era; it served as a prison for Charles d'Orleans after his capture at Agincourt until his release twenty-five years later in 1440. Territorial settlements were attempted through treaties such as Bretigny in 1360, yet these agreements often failed to bring lasting peace or stability to either side. Joan of Arc emerged as one of the most iconic figures during this period. Her sacred banner carried into Orleans became a symbol of hope for France's salvation against English domination. Unfortunately, her heroic journey ended tragically when she was burned at the stake in 1431. Throughout these turbulent times, maps displayed shifting boundaries between England and France - reflecting territorial gains or losses by each power over centuries past. The Battle of Agincourt marked not only an important turning point but also inspired literary works like Shakespeare's St Crispin's Day speech which immortalized Henry V's rallying cry before battle.
