As the kings of England and the kings of France fought for possession of the crown of France, The Hundred Years’ War would become the longest and the bloodiest conflict in medieval history, replacing the feudal order with an order of nations and propelling France and England into the modern age. Appearing amidst the splendour of the medieval world, cultural historian Dr Nina Ramirez takes viewers on a journey through 116 years of riotous, plague-ridden warfare, exploring how, as the effects of warfare reverberated in every aspect of artistic, cultural and religious life, The Hundred Years’ War would give birth to two distinctive national identities representing the final divorce between France and England – effects of which can still be seen in rivalries today.
In this last episode, Henry V has claimed the crown of France for his heirs, but to secure it the English must conquer all of France. Potent French resistance comes in the most unlikely form - an illiterate young peasant girl, Joan of Arc. Dr Janina Ramirez explores the longest and bloodiest divorce in history.
