Consequences of the War
The Economics of Failure
In England, many barons had
become rich as their power
increased at local level and the
king became weaker and poorer.

In France, the opposite was true as


the monarchy's position was
strengthened because of the success
of the war while that of the nobility
and the Estates General weakened.
The Church

The Great Schism of 1378 in the


Catholic Church ultimately saw
three popes all in office at the
same time.
New Weapons

Gunpowder weapons were first


used at the Battle of Crécy in 1346.

Аn oft-neglected weapon
developed over the period of the
war was diplomacy.
The Birth of Nations & National Heroes

Henry V Joan of Arc
