The MeG Podcast Season 4 Episode 1 - The Hundred Year War, Part2

 


In this episode of The MeG Podcast the team continue their look at one of the iconic periods of warfare in the Ancients/medieval period, The Hundred Years War.

The podcast covering first part of the war can be found at https://themegpodcast.podbean.com/e/the-meg-podcast-season-3-episode-7-the-hundred-year-war-part-1/ and this episode carries on from that until the war's end.

As ever, the team have come up with some army lists for some of the participants. This time they are from lists other than the English and French, although they contain troops from both nations.

  1. Another interesting discussion. Thank you. I listened while I was pondering my army choice for Skulls. I would like to add to the list of books, the 5 volume series by Jonathan Sumption which covers the war in depth. I have the first 4 and they are excellent reads and the 5th (and I think final) book called "Triumph and Illusion" only came out in hardback at the end of last month.
