    Study Notes

    Hundred Years' War

    • Spanning from 1337 to 1453
    • Dispute over Gascony and French succession
    • English initially held advantages due to the longbow at the Battle of Crécy
    • Henry V renewed conflict after a 20-year truce (1396)
    • French victory at Agincourt, aided by an alliance with Burgundy (Treaty of Troyes)
    • Joan of Arc played a key role in some of the French victories but she was burnt at the stake by the English.
    • Ultimately ended with a French victory with canon assistance.
    • Led to the growth of England's political institutions due to financial strain involved with the war, under Edward III.

    Decline of the Church

    • Conflict started with Philip's desire to tax French clergy, opposed by Pope Boniface VIII.
    • The Unam Sanctam, the strongest papal statement on spiritual authority.
    • Boniface's imprisonment and death was a source of conflict.
    • Later, to resolve other disputes, Philip pressured the College of Cardinals to elect a French pope, leading to the Avignon Papacy (lasting about 70 years)
    • This period of Avignon's papacy saw significant corruption and decay.
    • Finally, in 1377, Pope Gregory XI returned to Rome.
    • After his death, the College of Cardinals elected an Italian, triggering resentment from French cardinals and a succession of popes.
    • A council resolved the conflict, electing a new Pope Martin V, ending the Great Schism.

    Renaissance Nobles

    • Castiglione's The Book of the Courtier described three essential characteristics for Renaissance nobles:
      • Good character, grace, and talent, combined with a noble birth.
      • Military and bodily expertise and classical education.
      • Impressing and creating a good impression on others.
    • Italian city-states like Milan, Venice, Florence, the Papal States, and the Kingdom of Naples were prominent during the Renaissance.
    • Urbino, led by Duke Federigo, became an important patron of the arts.
