A Little Macabre Ditty“A sickly season,” the merchant
said,“The town I left was filled with dead,and everywhere these queer red fliescrawled upon the corpses’ eyes,eating them away.”
“Fair make you sick,” the merchant said,“They crawled upon the wine and bread.Pale priests with oil and books,bulging eyes and crazy looks,dropping like the flies.”

A Little Macabre Ditty“I had to laugh,” the merchant
said,“The doctors purged, and dosed, and bled;“And proved through solemn disputation“The cause lay in some constellation.“Then they began to die.”“First they sneezed,” the merchant said,“And then they turned the brightest red,Begged for water, then fell back.With bulging eyes and face turned black,they waited for the flies.”

A Little Macabre Ditty“I came away,” the merchant
said,“You can’t do business with the dead.“So I’ve come here to ply my trade.“You’ll find this to be a fine brocade…”And then he sneezed……….!

The War ItselfShort raids
A few major battles
Weapons made the difference
What is more important: weapons or numbers?

French AdvantageFar richer and more populous
At one point, the French fielded an army of over 50,000 at most, Britain mustered only 32,000.

British AdvantageWeapons Technologies.
Britain’s most successful strategies: Avoid pitched battles. Engage in quick, profitable raids
Steal what you can.Destroy everything else.Capture enemy knights to hold for ransom.

prosperous peasants from Burgundy

Joan of ArcHad visions of divine revelation.
Her “voices” told her to go to the king and assist him in driving out the English.
Because of her “unnatural dress” and claim to divine guidance, she was condemned and burned as a heretic in 1432.
She instantly became a symbol of French resistance.
