16、the textile industry(纺织业)raised the social position of the bourgeois class（资产阶级）.,1.2.3 Hundred Years War(13371453),Saint Joan of Arc,百年战争(Hundred Years War)是指英国和法国，以及后来加入的勃艮第，于1337年-1453年间的战争，是世界最长的战争，断断续续进行了长达116年，百年战争中，发展出不少新战术和武器。12世纪中，英国金雀花王朝在法国占有广阔领地，1213世纪，法国国王逐渐夺回部分被英王占领的土地。14世纪初，英国仍占据法国南部阿基

17、坦地区，成为法国政治统一的最大障碍。双方还争夺富庶的佛兰德地区。佛兰德毛纺业主要依赖英国的原料，英国则从羊毛贸易中获取巨利。1328年，法国占领佛兰德，英王爱德华三世（13271377在位）下令禁止羊毛出口。佛兰德因失去原料来源，转而支持英国的百年战争中战场上的法军反法政策。战争的导火线主要是王位继承问题。1328年，查理四世去世，法国卡佩王朝绝嗣，支裔瓦卢瓦王朝的腓力六世继位，英王爱德华三世以法王查理四世外甥的资格，与腓力六世争夺王位，触发战争。,1337年11月英王爱德华三世率军进攻法国，战争开始。1340年，英法两国发生海战，法军战败。英国控制了英吉利海峡。1346 年8月，双方在克雷西

18、会战，英军大捷，乘胜进入诺曼底。1347年攻占法国的加来。1356年9 月，普瓦提埃之战，法军大败，法王约翰二世（13501364在位）及众臣被俘，英借此向法国索取巨额赎金。1360年法国王子查理被迫签订屈辱的布勒塔尼和约，把加来及法国西南部大片领土割让给英国。1364年，王子查理继位，称查理五世（1364 1380在位），为了夺回失地，改编军队，整顿税制，紧张备战。1369年起连续发动攻势，几乎收复全部失地，1396年双方缔结二十年停战协定。,1415年8月，英王亨利五世（14131422在位）趁查理六世（13801422在位）即位后法国统治阶级发生内讧之机，领兵进攻法国，10月占领法国北部

19、。1420年，双方签订特鲁瓦条约，条约规定法国王太子的王位继承权转归英王亨利五世。亨利五世与查理六世之女结婚。这项条约实际上将法国分为由亨利五世、勃艮第公爵和法国王太子查理分别统辖的三个部分。1422年法王查理六世与英王亨利五世先后去世，英方宣布由未满周岁的亨利六世（14221461，14701471在位）兼领法国国王。1428年10月，英军围攻通往法国南方的要塞奥尔良城，形势危急。法国人民组成抗英游击队，袭击敌人。1429年，法国女民族英雄贞德率军击退英军，解奥尔良城之围。此后，法国人民抗英运动继续高涨，英军节节败退。1429年7月，王子查理在兰斯加冕，称查理七世。1435年勃艮第公爵臣服于

20、法王。1453年10月，驻波尔多英军投降，除加来外，法国领土全部收复。至此，百年战争以法国的胜利而结束。,Richard III,Lancaster Rose,York Rose,Henry Tudor,1.2.4 The War of the Roses(14551485),A war for the throne between the House of York and the House of Lancaster.It reduced the power of nobility and helped to increase the power of the new rising bou

21、rgeois class.The House of Lancaster won and their leader Henry Tudor became King Henry VII and started the rule of the House of Tudor(1485-1603).,玫瑰战争（Wars of the Roses），或称蔷薇战争，通常指英国兰开斯特王朝（House of Lancaster）和约克王朝(House of York)的支持者之间为了英格兰王位的断续内战。两个家族都是金雀花王朝(Plantagenet)皇族的分支，是英王爱德华三世的后裔。玫瑰战争不是当时所用的

22、名字，它来源于两个皇族所选的家徽，兰开斯特的红玫瑰和约克的白玫瑰。,蔷薇战争（又称玫瑰战争；英语：；1455年1485年）是兰开斯特家族和约克家族的支持者为了英格兰王位而发生断续的内战。两大家族都是金雀花王朝王室的分支，为英王爱德华三世的后裔。“玫瑰战争”一名并未使用于当时，而是在16世纪，莎士比亚在历史剧亨利六世中以两朵玫瑰被拔标志战争的开始后才成为普遍用语。此名称源于两个家族所选的家徽，兰开斯特的红蔷薇和约克的白蔷薇。该战争大部分由马上骑士和他们的封建随从组成的军队所进行。兰开斯特家族的支持者主要在国家的北部和西部，而约克家族的支持者主要在南部和东部。实际上，几乎没有贵族在战争期间被消灭。

23、例如，在战争未爆发前1425到1449年间，有25个家族灭绝消失，在战争爆发的1450 到 1474年间，只有24个家族灭绝消失。然而，雄心勃勃公然叫阵的贵族们在战争初期都战死了，接近战争后期，越来越少的贵族准备以他们的生命和头衔，在不确定的战争中冒险，是贵族封建力量的削弱的主要原因之一，导致了都铎王朝统治下中央集权君主专制的发展。最终以亨利七世与约克的伊丽莎白联姻结束了战争，也结束了法国金雀花王朝在英格兰的统治，开启了新的威尔士人都铎王朝的统治。也标记着在英格兰中世纪时期的结束并走向新的文艺复兴时代。为了纪念英格兰以玫瑰为国花，并把皇室徽章改为红白玫瑰。,Transition to the
