Joan of Arc: Warrior Maid (TRIH ep 632, part 1)
1420 · Resource
Hosts Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook explore the turning point of the Hundred Years' War centred on Joan of Arc. They set the political and military background: English successes under Edward III and Henry V (notably Agincourt), the internecine Burgundian–Armagnac civil war in France, the assassination of John the Fearless and the Treaty of Troyes that seemed to hand France to the House of Lancaster.
