The Alexandria-Caen Sister Cities Committee invites you to a lecture:

THE FRENCH PERSPECTIVE ON THE HUNDRED YEARS WAR

Shakespeare's Henry V depicts the Battle of Agincourt (1415) during the Hundred Years War (1337-1453) as a heroic English victory against improbable odds. However, the battle made little difference and the war should actually be read as the story of Joan of Arc's resistance, a settled civil war and how the French state emerged from the challenge of foreign invasion stronger and more unified than ever before.
