Question
How does evidence shape Hundred Years' War?
Answer
Narrative sequence: answer How does evidence shape Hundred Years' War by focusing on Part one: Conquered and conquerors. Use the chronology of AC Britain: Migration, empires and the people: c790 to the present day, select named evidence connected to Study the birth of English identity, including the Hundred Years' War and its impact on England's future development, and order events accurately, show movement from one development to the next, and avoid jumping chronology. End by answering the command word directly.
Explanation
This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. Begin with the relevant period from Paper 2 Section A: Thematic studies, then anchor the answer in Part one: Conquered and conquerors. The evidence should connect to Study the birth of English identity, including the Hundred Years' War and its impact on England's future development and be explained through cause, consequence, change, continuity, significance or interpretation as appropriate. A strong final judgement shows why the selected evidence is more convincing than a vague or unsupported claim.
Common mistake
Avoid confusing Hundred Years' War
A common mistake is to write about Hundred Years' War as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in c790 to the present day.
Anchor the answer to Part one: Conquered and conquerors, use precise evidence, and state whether Hundred Years' War is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
