Strengthening the Monarchy

Chapter 13 iii Strengthening the Monarchy
2
Between 1337 and 1453, England and France fought
a series of wars called the Hundred Years
War. It began when Edward III of
England laid claim to the French crown.
3
Henry V of England took Crecy and won at
Agincourt in 1346 with the new terror weapon, the
longbow! Oh, yeah, and the cannon
thingie.
4
Henry VI lost much of this land due to the
unexpected influence of the heavy plow in
England. (story time)
Mr. Baker
With the plow, people had more free time, and...
You
5
The French were demoralized and beaten, but a
young woman named Joan of Arc helped Frances
Charles VII turn the war around in
1429. She believed that she was chosen
by God.
6
She told the king that God spoke to her and
called upon her to save France. With Charles
support, she inspired victory at the siege of
Orleans.
One of the mostest kick buttest movies ever!!
7
Joan of Arc met with unexpected resistance,
though (movie to soon follow.)
8
At the end of the campaign inspired by Joan, only
the port city of Calais was still held by the
English.
9
Effects of the 100 Years War 1. French unity
to repel the English. 2. Social conflict in
England. Nobles bitter over lost land.
3. Helped end feudalism. 4.
Formation of national armies. 5. New styles
of warfare (castles and knights out, infantry in.)
10
But maintaining these new, professional, standing
armies was expensive! The kings turned to the
new middle classes for tax revenue.
Hes hot!!
That darn king!
11
In France, Louis XI, son of Charles VII,
strengthened the bureaucracy, kept the nobles
under court control, and promoted trade and
agriculture.
More central authority!
12
His primary goal was to unify France into one
cooperative country. (Other countries still not
united Germany, Italy, Russia)
Im a unificator, not a divider-upper!
13
Although war isnt good for anyone, the Hundred
Years War allowed accelerated social and
political development in Western Europe.
14
Englands Royal authority eroded during the 100
Years War and a struggle over control of the
crown between nobles led to the War of the Roses.
15
This ended with a victory by Henry Tudor (Henry
VII) as the first Tudor king of England. He
killed all challengers, avoided foreign wars,
and strengthened the monarchy.
16
Henry VII (Henry Tudor) was one of the reasons
that England became stronger than other parts
of the world.
I kill because I care.
17
Spain regained control of their country by
fighting the reconquista (reconquest) and
expelling all Muslims.
All Muslims OUT!!
18
This reconquista was ruthlessly efficient. It
led to the Spanish Inquisition in which Jews and
Moors (African Muslims) could convert to
Christianity or be killed.
19
Many were tortured, excommunicated, and killed to
create an atmosphere of fear (almost like Stalin
did.)
20
Could anyone have expected this from the
Inquisition?
21
In 1469, Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of
Castile were married to unify the nobles of Spain
under one crown.
