A Brief History of the Hundred Years War

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

The Hundred Years’ War was Europe’s longest and most transformative conflict—a century of battles, betrayals, and shifting alliances that pitted England against France for dominance of the continent. From Crécy and Agincourt to the rise of Joan of Arc, it was a struggle where knights fell to longbows, kings were captured on the battlefield, and gunpowder began to reshape the art of war. Beyond the bloodshed, it was a conflict that bankrupted monarchs, fueled revolts, and laid the foundations for modern national identities.

In A Brief History of the Hundred Years’ War, the drama of this epic struggle is told with clarity and balance. Exploring not only the military campaigns but also the political intrigue, economic upheaval, and cultural legacy, this book reveals how the war forged both England’s insular character and France’s centralized monarchy. Essential for readers of medieval history, military strategy, or anyone fascinated by the birth of nations, this is the definitive guide to the war that changed the course of European history.
