War and peace in the 14th century: the lion, the unicorn and the lily

Join Paul Dryburgh, collections specialist in medieval records at The National Archives, as he explores English military success and failure between 1277 to 1453 when the crown pursued expansion and dynastic claims across the British Isles and into the Kingdom of France.

But the ever-present threat of conflict between the competing powers, climate crises and epidemic catastrophes, also ensured attention could not slip away from peace making.

Join us for our three-part series, The story of a century: 14th century. Power, plague and warfare.
