The Hundred Years War is at an end, with the French surrendering at Poitiers. An examination of the final day explains that a new technology emerged from this war: the long bow (a commercial for the long bow appears shortly after).The Black Plague spreads through Europe, reducing the populace to a stricken amalgamation without doctors. In a related story, another doctor is profiled for his own, shall we say, questionable medical practices.
