Philip the Good and the Burgundian Break with England (1435)
In 1435, Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, decisively ended the longstanding Anglo-Burgundian alliance that had significantly shaped the course of the Hundred Years’ War. This rupture became explicit when Philip launched an assault on the English-held city of Calais, marking a dramatic reversal of his previous alliance commitments.
