  The Hundred Years War has been very hard on France as a whole. Many generations have no idea what it means to live in peace. All they know is that they have to carry weapons at all times to protect themselves and their families.

  Because the loyalties of their French neighbors change each day, they have to stay vigilant. The French royals make promises that they do not intend to keep. They do this all for the sake of their own greed, trying to maneuver their way to become the ruling family of France.

  While the commoners, out of survival or greed, change their loyalties towards the different French Royal families because of what they are promised, one thing that most of the French have in common is their hatred for the English; the English have taken everything from them. Their land has been pillaged, and their families have been ravaged. Though they hate and fight the English, they do it half heartedly because they have been told that the English have the most powerful army in the whole world. It is because of this belief that they have lost sight of their own individual strength; they have forgotten how their country began, their royal history and the greatness that their wonderful country once showed to the entire world.

  Throughout the many years of the Hundred Years War, on a daily basis, thousands of French common patriots pray for someone to be sent to help free them from the English.
