While the land battles of Agincourt and Crécy dominate the popular imagination, the Hundred Years' War was equally defined by its chaotic maritime campaigns. This episode explores the Battle of Sluys in 1340, where the English fleet under King Edward III dismantled the French naval power before the war even truly began. We examine how the English longbowmen, typically associated with infantry tactics on dry land, were adapted for ship-to-ship combat on the foggy waters of Flanders. The discussion covers the strategic importance of controlling the Channel, the logistical nightmares of medieval supply lines, and the brutal reality of boarding actions where archers rained arrows down onto crowded decks. We also look at the aftermath of Sluys, which secured English trade routes and allowed Edward to fund his continental campaigns, shifting the balance of power in Western Europe for decades. #BattleOfSluys #HundredYearsWar #EdwardIII #EnglishLongbow #MedievalNavalWarfare #Flanders #FrenchNavy #1340 #ShipCombat #MaritimeHistory #Agincourt #Crécy #TudorNavy #ChannelControl #MedievalLogistics #BoardingActions #EuropeanHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
