In this, the fourth episode of the Hundred Years War series we explore the Battle of Crécy, 26 August, 1346. Having narrowly escaped the French army at Blanchetaque, King Edward III heads his army towards Crecy. There will ensue an iconic battle that resulted in victory for the English in the first decade of the Hundred Years’ War against the French. In his unique storytelling style, Kevin Hicks describes the lead up to the Battle of Crecy and examines how a small but disciplined English force fighting on foot overwhelmed the French army. #BattleofCrecy #battle #Crecy #HundredYearsWar #1346 #medieval #100yearswar #medievalwarfare #middleages If you’ve missed any of the Hundred Years War series, click here for the playlist:    • Hundred Years War Series   If you’d like the channel, you can support us through PATREON at https://www.patreon.com/thehistorysquad OTHER LINKS: Website: https://historysquad.ca/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/historysquad Twitter: https://twitter.com/history_hicks Map credit: Rowan Technology http://www.rowan.nyc/history Click to view their interactive map of the Battle of Crécy https://dpk7oh0ytcd5o.cloudfront.net/data/Widgets/Widget_878.wdgt/content.html Thanks to Perry Minatures for expediting delivery of our models: https://www.perry-miniatures.com/
