Hello surprise surprise I bet you didn't expect to hear from us so very soon again. Well here is a little

blast from the 2014 past. We would like to offer this show as a long form audio clue to our next show

and this is one of my favorite 30-second summaries that we have ever done on with the show.

Welcome to the history tricks where any resemblance to a boring old history lesson is purely coincidental.

And here's your 30-second summary. This time it's a summary of the 100-years war fought for 116 years

between France and England. Stand your side. Stand your side. Stop taking my stuff. It's

my stuff. It was mine long before it was yours. Quit it. You quit. How sure is it to press?

You're not the God to me. I am. I'm telling. There's like, get out of my room. No.

The end. Hello and welcome to the show. Today we're going to talk about Joan of Arc, the native

Orléans, one of the patrons in France. She's credited with turning the tide in the 100-years war

saving France from English domination. One of the really neat things about Joan of Arc is

all the information of her life is still exists. So we know a lot more about her life as a child

and her life up to her death than we know about Ann Bolin because there are records. Not only do

we have lots of records, we have lots of thorough records because part of her trial was in fact

a background check. Between then and now there have been so much corroboration of the information

that we can pretty much rely on it. So in lieu, note the use of print words of a

impressive. Unlew of a placed in history here is a more serious whirlwind background on the

100-years war than the one you just heard. This war trickily lasted 116 years so don't let that

trivia question stomp you. The year was 1337. There were some parts of France that England had

controlled for 400 years. Others came by marriage with Eleanor of Aquatain so you have powerful

noblemen of England who were technically also under the jurisdiction of the king of France.

One of these happened to be the king of England. Can you see why we might be a little bit in conflict
