The Battle of Poitiers, fought on 19 September 1356 during the Hundred Years’ War, was one of England’s most dramatic medieval victories. In this episode, we explore how a smaller English force led by Edward, the Black Prince, defeated a much larger French army, captured King John II of France, and exposed deep cracks in medieval warfare, chivalry, and royal power.
