we answered a question from Laura in this one.
we're back! well, the English had their fun and won some big victories and even took a ton of French land in the Treaty of Bretigny but then everything went pear-shaped for the English. they backed the wrong sides in proxy wars, pissed off the French nobles who sided with them, and lost a series of battles when the war resumed. Then both Edwards died and the hits just kept on coming.
attached are two maps. the first shows the land the English took in the Treaty of Bretigny in 1360 and the second shows how the French reclaimed that land by the mid-1370s
