Radio War Nerd EP177 — Joan of Arc: The Hundred Years War (Part III)

Guest: Annibale Recorded: April 16, 2019 This is part 3 of our series on The Hundred Years War with popular RWN guest "Annibale" (RWN's Italy & "Years Of Lead" series, EP 131, 134, 135, 136, 139). Last episode, we finished off with the English victory at Agincourt and the aftermath in the 1420s, when France was all but defeated, divided & destroyed. This episode, Annibale introduces us to one of the most remarkable figures in history, military or otherwise: Joan of Arc, a teenaged provincial girl who managed—in an incredibly unlikely & short period at the end of the 1420s—to turn the in France's favor, before she was captured, tried and burned at the stake by England's allies.
