HS 470 - Seminar: The Hundred Years War

(3.00 cr.)

Prerequisite: One HS 100-level course, one HS 300-level course. The Hundred Years War did more to disrupt the politics, economy, and society of continental Western Europe, thus bringing an end to the Middle Ages, than did any other event. This course follows the chronology of the war by highlighting its origin; military conflicts; effect on society, economy, ecclesiastic affairs, and politics; and conclusion. It focuses on the major players-France, England, Burgundy, the southern Low Countries-with frequent visits to the conflict's spread into the Holy Roman Empire, Italy, the Iberian Peninsula, and even into the Middle East. Written or electronic permission of the instructor. IM
