Meh
This was mostly unnecessary, not that funny, pro-monarchy for the most part and tad bit sexist.
🤷🏾‍♀️
This does cover the French Armagnac-Burgundian Civil War that dominated the 100 years war in France much like the war of the roses dominated England at this same time period.
A surprising amount of histories of this time period skipped this war while covering the 100 years war, and its annoying.

SewingandCaring I feel like I should defend his honour on the sexism accusation here and I'm a proud raging feminist. For a decade(?) on international woman's day David Mitchell went on social media finding all the men who asked "When is international men's day?" and told them the date with a link to a women's shelter charity telling them to pay the idiot tax (the man's day is a cancer awareness day), he retired from it recently and I don't blame him because 24 hours marathons on Musk's twitter must be dreadful.
