Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Sorenti. Today's episode is part one of our recent live event with historian and broadcaster Dan Jones on war, plague and lionhearts. The Hundred Years' War was an age-defining conflict. The violent struggle between England and France spanned over a century and permanently transformed the art of European warfare itself.

In his Essex Dogs trilogy, historian and author Dan Jones retells the battles and bloodshed through the eyes of the Essex Dogs, a fictional platoon. Now, as the series reaches its climax, Dan joined historian and broadcaster Alice Loxton at Smith Square Hall to discuss. War, plague, and the third and final installment of the trilogy, Lionhearts.
