Episode description
Hey, so do any of you remember the 100 Years War? The one in France? That occurred over 3 DISTINCT PERIODS? We do! And we're back, except this time we meet up with a different Jeanne (familiar?) who is at the beginning of the war this time!
Jeanne de Clisson (another Jeanne!) doesn't hear angels calling to her but she does wind up a wealthy widow! In Part 1 we chart Jeanne's rise to the rich widow status and how she got there. And we learn how she got caught up in the beginning of an epic-ly long death match between England and France!
