In this, the fourth episode of the Hundred Years War series we explore the Battle of Crécy, 26 August, 1346. Having narrowly escaped the French army at Blanchetaque, King Edward III heads his army towards Crecy. There will ensue an iconic battle that resulted in victory for the English in the first decade of the Hundred Years’ War against the French.
In his unique storytelling style, Kevin Hicks describes the lead up to the Battle of Crecy and examines how a small but disciplined English force fighting on foot overwhelmed the French army. #BattleofCrecy #battle #Crecy #HundredYearsWar #1346 #medieval #100yearswar #medievalwarfare #middleages
