The Arrow That Killed a King — How One Shot Started the Hundred Years' War

Описание: In 1346, a single arrow struck down a king—and changed European history forever.

At the Battle of Crécy, English longbowmen faced the armored might of medieval Europe. Among those who charged into the storm of arrows was John of Bohemia, a blind king who rode into battle knowing death awaited him.

That moment became a symbol of the collapse of knightly warfare and the rise of a new military age. It also intensified a brutal conflict between England and France that would last more than a century—the Hundred Years' War.
