Sample Book Insights:

#1 The Battle of Sluys was the first in a series of naval engagements that would ultimately lead to the destruction of the French navy and the Battle of Crécy, which would be the first major win for the English. The siege of Tournai dragged on for months, but the city was not captured. In September 1340, both sides ran out of money and agreed to a truce.

#2 The Battle of Sluys was the first in a series of naval engagements that would ultimately lead to the destruction of the French navy and the Battle of Crécy, which would be the first major win for the English. The Truce of Espléchin was in place from 1341 to 1346, but Edward sent an English army to Brittany in 1346, and the French were unable to oppose them.

#3 In 1340, the English and French sides ran out of money and agreed to a truce. In 1350, the French king died and his son, John II, became the new king of France. But it wasn’t until the mid-1350s that the effects of the Black Death had receded sufficiently for both sides to resume the war. Edward III’s son, Edward the Black Prince, invaded French territory in 1356.
