  1. Western Civ.Unit 5 PP 4 The 100 Years War (1337-1453) & The Babylonian Captivity of the Papacy

  2. Background and catalyst • French King Charles IV dies in 1328 • The only heir is the Son of Charles IV’s sister Isabella and Edward II King of England the 14 year old Edward III • The Barons of France sought to exclude Edward and chose Phillip VI Valois as King of France • In 1337 Phillip VI confiscated Gascony claiming Edward had not fulfilled his feudal obligations • Edward III now 23 years old claimed his right as King of France and war begins

  3. The Course of the War to 1419 • France loses most major battles (why?) • 3x the population • much wealthier nation • Disunity(some supported Edward III) • Provincial concerns • English military superiority(longbow, leadership, discipline)

  4. English Victory? • The Battle of Crecy 1346: • The longbow defeats the French Crossbow • The Battle of Agincourt 1415 • English led by Henry V (r. 1413-1422) • He defeated larger French force • By 1419 he is at the gates of Paris and signs the Treaty of Troyes with the French King Charles VI • Disinherited the Dauphin (Charles VII) • Henry V made the new heir to the French throne • Henry marries the French King’s daughter • Is it over?

  5. Joan of Arc (1412-1431) • 17 year old peasant girl from Domremy • She heard voices telling her to ask the Dauphin for an army to expel the English • Led the French forces to victory at the Battle of Orleans in 1429 • A few months later the Dauphin (now Charles VII) was crowned King of France in Rheims • The only English territory remaining was Calais • In 1430 Joan was captured by the Burgundians and sold to the English • Charles could have helped but chose not to • She was burned as a heretic (in 1920 she was made a saint)

  6. Costs and Consequences • Both Nations saw: Population decline, disruption of trade and agriculture, peasant uprisings, blurring of class distinction in warfare • Questioning of the Church • In England: 5 mil. Pounds sterling, breakdown of local order, parliament increased power, civil war (the War of the Roses) • In France: Nationalism, devotion to king, increased Kings power

  7. The Babylonian Captivity of the Church The Schism Early Protestants

  8. The catalyst • War between England and France (1294) • The Kings of both countries Edward I (England) and Phillip IV the fair (Fr) decided to pay for the war by taxing the church • Pope Boniface VIII calls this “an assault on the Church” • Phillip kept Church revenue in France • Edward denied clergy protection of law in England • Boniface backed down • Significance? Victory of State over Church

  9. Phillip picks a fight • Phillip arrested a French Bishop to assert his control over the French Church • Called the Pope a heretic • Boniface issues 2 Papal Bulls • Ascultafili”…God has placed popes above Kings • Followed by “Unum Sanctum” • Phillip arrests the Pope who is beaten badly and died shortly after his release • Phillip pressured the new Pope Clement V to settle at Avignon in 1309 • Babylonian Captivity of the Papacy (lasts until 1377)

  10. The Great Schism (1378-1417) • Gregory XI returns to Rome in 1378 and dies • The people of Rome demand an Italian Pope • The Cardinals elect Urban VI(arrogant tactless) • Result: Cardinals elect another “Anti-Pope” Clement VII who returns the to Avignon and began the Great Schism • The Council of Pisa elects a new Pope Alexander V who rules from Pisa) Now 3 Popes • Resolution: Council of Constanceelects Martin V in 1417 to end schism • No resolution on any other issue (heresy corruption)

  11. Early Protests • John Wycliffe (d.1384) • Leader of the “Lollards” in England • Oxford theologian • Supremacy of scripture • Royal power over Pope • Poverty of clergy • 1st Engl. Translation of Bible

  12. Early protests • Jan Huss • Many of the same ideas as Wycliffe • Also a bohemian nationalist • Burned at the stake to begin the Council of Constance
