Hi everyone,

In this episode, we explore the development of chivalry, its values and core concept, and view bits of the history of the Hundred Year's War through its lens.

As always, please leave glowing reviews on iTunes, Google Play and wherever else you listen to this.

This is part 2 of the food series. We look at cooking, some recipes and then discussion in the crowd.

Hi everyone!

So, no episode on chivalry yet, so instead I'll give you part 1 of my talk on the matter of food in the first half of the 14th century.

Here's a link to the Prezi that I used, if you want to follow along.

Enjoy!

In this episode, the French army will chase the English army along the Oise River, and will finally face off at La Capelle.

As discussed in the episode, click here to find the map to the area around La Capelle. It actually looks pretty close to what the lay of the land was almost 700 years ago.

In this episode, the French army pushes into Gascony in a big way, laying siege to the Castle at Penne, dominating the roads and waterways, and taking the towns of Blaye and Bourg. In the Channel, the French fleet begins a new season of plundering and raiding, but the English Government blocks them.

As I mentioned in the episode, here are some interesting sites showing photographs of the Castle at Penne. Or what's left of it...

While the English are struggling to gather money and soldiers, the French lead devastating maritime operations, and then prepare to deal Gascony a final blow.

Please note: I have a cough and you may find that it shows... apologies.

Edward III wishes to fight on four fronts - Scotland, Gascony, the Low Countries and at sea, but can't do it all. He can barely do any of these things. Through bad planning and corruption, Edward brings his army to the Low Countries, poorer than he expected.
