A young and ambitious Cardinal attempts to bring peace to England and France, but the war in the south of France and his lack of diplomatic acumen make it very difficult.

The French campaigns of the summer of 1352 are going poorly. So poorly in fact, that King Jean is beginning to panic, and Charles de Blois switches sides.
Neither King Jean nor King Edward can control their subordinates, and fighting continues around Gascony. Charles de Blois returns to look for money to pay his ransom. We delve a little deeper into the story of the English ninjas that seized the fortress at Guines, and the reactions of both kings, as the truce collapses once again.
The French Government analyzes the situation, and determines that, one of the reasons for its defeats, is that knighthood and chivalry were on the decline. The solution: return to the past, when chivalry ruled the battle field by creating the Order of the Star. We explore the life of Geoffroi de Charny, and some of his philosophy and ideas.

Please donate here: www.boarstooth.net/new-events/2020/deed-of-alms
Sir Jean de Beaumanoir, Breton captain of Josselin challenges Brambrocc, captain of the town of Ploërmel to a joust, and Brambrocc counters with an offer of a battle of 30 against 30.
One of the great chivalric deeds of arms will unfold.
King Jean names a new Constable, Charles of Spain, who moves on Angoulême. In Brittany, neither side achieves much, and around Calais, after some very mitigated early successes, the English army suffers a defeat.
King Philippe is dead, and we quickly review his reign, including the purchase of the Dauhpiné. His son, Jean, ascends to the throne and to a somewhat of a rocky start.
In this episode, the French and English ambassadors hash out an agreement that would extend the Truce of Calais to August 1351. However, some hostile actions continue, culminating with the naval Battle of Winchelsea.

The Truce of Calais is still in place, but occupying Calais, Brittany and Gascony is becoming extremely costly for King Edward. Meanwhile, the War of Breton Succession devolves into a chaotic mess of raids and extortion, and fighting continues in Gascony - and all of this fighting is completely out of both King's control.
In this episode, we look at how medieval scholars dealt with the Great Mortality, and then at the economic upheaval left in the wake of the plague.

It is the period of the Great Mortality, and people react very badly to it. Anti-semitism is rampant, and religious fanatics wander the land, beating themselves bloody. And, others party like there's no tomorrow (which was statistically the case).

In this episode, the talks with France to resolve the issues of Aquitaine are moving ahead, but they are made more difficult by some dispossessed Scots invading Scotland, intent on retaking what is theirs. King Edward III seizes the opportunity and follows up with an invasion of his own.
