For medieval France, the XIV and XV centuries. became a time of great change. In 1328, the main line of the Capetian dynasty was interrupted. This circumstance led to the Hundred Years War, in which the English kings tried to prove their right to the French throne. Disastrous defeats at the battles of Crécy and Poitiers shook the French kingdom to its foundations. Under Bertrand du Guesclin, a respite followed, but under the warlike King Henry V, France had to endure even more devastating attacks, and its disintegration lasted until 1429. The book tells how the French managed to regain strength, which happened partly thanks to the young seer Jeanne d'Arc, and how they ended this war as the largest European military power. Detailed color illustrations reconstructing the appearance of a French warrior make it possible to get acquainted with various types of weapons of the army of Medieval France. The book is addressed to a wide range of readers who are fond of the history of Europe and military costume.
