Hundred Years War

Joan of Arc was only 19 years old when she was sentenced to die. Though she lived a short life, it was a remarkable one: She was highly devout and took comfort in her faith, and helped to turn the tide for France against the British during the Hundred Years’ War. Her heroic deeds and unshakeable devotion to her cause have become legendary, but underneath the myths and stories is still a vulnerable teenage girl.

After a brutal military victory, Henry V and his men found themselves in an alarming position—and his solution was truly barbaric.

Charles VII, born to the mad king, managed to end to the Hundred Years' War—yet few people know this victorious monarch’s dark history.
