French victory at Castillon ended the Hundred Years' War apart from English Calais. Within the broader Medieval Kingdoms period, the English, Scottish and Welsh polities were reshaped by conquest, parliamentary development, dynastic conflict, plague and long wars with France. This event is placed at 1453 in the chronology so it can be read alongside the political, military, social and cultural changes around it. The loss weakened Henry VI's regime and intensified political conflict at home.
