The History of England

111 Poitiers 1356

1356 saw one of the greatest exchange of arms of the war. Early in the year, the Duke of Lancaster attacked into Normandy and with lightening marches ran rings round the French King. Then in the south the Black Prince attacked into the Poitou, seeking to link up with Lancaster on a march towards Paris. The campaign would end of the field of Poitiers as once again an English army faced a much bigger French opponent.<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheHistoryOfEngland?a=1hsXxPOi9ec:rc01fYYIBAQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheHistoryOfEngland?a=1hsXxPOi9ec:rc01fYYIBAQ:63t7Ie-LG7Y"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheHistoryOfEngland?a=1hsXxPOi9ec:rc01fYYIBAQ:qj6IDK7rITs"> Hosted on Acast.

This my retelling of the story of England, which is a regular, chronological podcast, starting from the end of Roman Britain. There are as many of the great events I can squeeze in, of course, but I also try to keep an eye on how people lived, their language, what was important to them, the forces that shaped their lives and destinies, that sort of thing.
