My cookbook, Twelve Months of Monastery Soups (auth is Brother Victor-Antoine d'Avila-Latourrette) says: " In France, the carrots grown in the vicinity of Crecy have the reputation as best and the tastiest in the whole country -- hence the name given to the soup. From France, the soup crossed the Channel into England, where it has become part of the national folklore. According to an old tradition dating back the the 14th century, loyal Britons should eat carrot soup or "potage de Crecy" on the anniversary (August 26, 1346) of the battle of Crecy, a legendary victory of the English over the French in the the Hundred Years' War.

I am just reading about Crecy (1327): Oh dear, the crossbow is found out ! It has a very high impact speed, but this is detracted by its rate of fire. The crossbow is excellent against static targets, but the crossbowmen must be defended because of their slow rate of fire....

A longbow is a type of bow made from a single natural piece of wood that is roughly equal to the height of a person who uses it.

The English used massed longbows to great effect during the Hundred Years' War, against the French, particularly at the start of the war in the battles of Crecy (1346) and Poitiers (1356), and most famously at the Battle of Agincourt (1415). An archers trained in using the longbow is called a longbowman.

At the battle of Crecy, arrows from English longbows penetrated the metal of the armor used by knights. (In Eastern Europe full body armor proved ineffective against Mongol recurve bows.) After that the job of knight as a warrior was replaced by that of a cavalryman. Cavalrymen would carry shields but would no longer carry full body armor.

In England, the position of knight became an honorary rank.

No not because it was because the English had new and approved weapons such as the long bow which was faster to load while the french had longbows which could take a 100 years to load( being sarcastic here)

There are a few reasons.Firstly, they had longbows which could fire up to eighteen arrows a minute.The French had crossbows which could only fir at around 5 arrows a minute.The English had a height advantage as well, which reduced the impact of the french cavalry charge, which made easy prey for the longbowmen.

Yes, Slate Creek is a proper noun.

Nouns refer to people, places, and things. Nouns can be divided into proper nouns and common nouns. Proper nouns are names for specific people, places, events, and things, such as Queen Victoria, Great Britain, Windsor Castle, Excalibur, and the Battle of Crecy, and are capitalized. Common nouns are nouns that refer to types of people, places, and things, such as ruler, throne, estate, crown, and loyalty, and are not capitalized except at the beginning of a sentence. Slate Creek is a proper noun because it refers to a specific person, place, or thing, and thus should be capitalized.

England was the centre of a huge commercial trade in wool, which was exported to many parts of Europe. "Getting on" with foreigners was essential to maintain trade links with places as far away as Afghanistan and China - although these trade routes were by way of intermediaries such as Venetian merchants.

Only where there was rebellion or dispute over land would the English go to war; for a very long period the English kings held lands in France which the French naturally resented, setting the scene for many hundreds of years of conflict and the significant defeats of huge french armies at Poitiers, Crecy and Agincourt.

The Hundred Years War demonstrated the superiority of the yeoman to the knight. The battles of Crecy and Agincourt showed this clearly, as English archers destroyed charging knights with volleys of arrows powerful enough to cut through armor.

In the course of the war, both England and France went through a process of strengthening their central governments, and standing armies appeared in Western Europe for the first time since Roman times. The feudal system required a decentralization of power, so making a stronger central government undermined it.

no

Ignore above

It proved to Europe that armoured knights were not invincible. Up until this point armoured knights on horseback were seen to be the best soldiers in an army and undefeatable by infantry. English victories such as Crecy and Poitiers proved that common men (archers) could defeat mounted knights with the correct planning.

However, as it saw the rise of the English archer it also saw the demise as the French learnt how to defeat the weapon by charging quickly and by not engaging in open warfare.

The Hundred Years War also involved many different directions for warfare. It involved sieges, open battle and chevauee (double check) where the English pillaged the French lands of Brittany.
