The Hundred Years' War is a bloody chapter of England and France's history punctuated with many wars opposing them and during which England, first, attempted to claim France's throne, then to keep their French holdings and finally, after loosing most of them, to retake these holdings. This period saw the use of cannons for the first time in European and Mediterranean history and the decline of the medievalistic usage of cavalry. Notable figures during this period include Jeanne d'Arc, Bertrand du Guesclin, John Talbot, Edward the Black Prince, Henry IV the victor of Agincourt, and many more.
