Display.aspx?storyid=1185737>. This picture depicts the battle of Agincourt during The
Hundred Years’ War. The Hundred Years’ War was a series of battles fought between
England and France leading many medieval states into mass destruction. In 1415 the
English king Henry V led his army into France losing most of his men to illness before
meeting the bulk of the French forces near a village called Agincourt. Even though they
were down in numbers they still came out victorious because they had the longbow
against heavily armored cavalry on Charles VI’s armies. This had social impact because
many people died and were very ill. It also had economic impact because they had to pay
for all of the repairs of many medieval states.

This picture depicts the advent of taxation in the High Middle ages in Western Europe.
The taxation created wealthier monarchs. Wealthier monarchs could afford to hire
professional armies and to hire commoners to staff their bureaucracies, which is the
collective organizational structure, procedures, protocols, and set of regulations in place
to manage activity, usually in large
organizations and government.
These were both economic and social changes. This reduced the monarch’s dependence
on the nobility. Also it increased their absolute power.
