In 1356, the Black Prince’s chevauchée left a trail of ash across France, but it was the Battle of Poitiers that truly shattered the French military hierarchy. This episode explores the capture of King John II by the Gascon knight Jean de Clisson and the broader crisis of chivalric identity when a king becomes a prisoner. We examine how the ransom demands for monarchs reshaped feudal economics, turning kings into commodities and forcing England to negotiate from a position of precarious strength. The conversation details the tactical blunders at Poitiers, the role of the English longbow in breaking heavy cavalry charges, and the political fallout that led to the Treaty of Brétigny. Listeners will discover the human cost behind the romanticized image of medieval knighthood, where honor was often measured in gold florins rather than battlefield glory. We also look at the subsequent Jacquerie peasant revolt in France, a brutal response to the nobility’s failure to protect the realm. By tracing the aftermath of this single day in September, we uncover how the Hundred Years’ War evolved from a dynastic dispute into a total war of attrition that redefined sovereignty in late medieval Europe. #BattleOfPoitiers #JeanDeClisson #KingJohnII #BlackPrince #Chevauchee #MedievalKnights #HundredYearsWar #TreatyOfBreteigny #Gascony #FeudalRansom #Jacquerie #EnglishLongbow #Chivalry #14thCentury #FrenchMonarchy #EdwardIII #MedievalEconomics #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
