Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Sorenti. The death of Edward I in 1307 marked the beginning of a period of intense turmoil and change in England. The 14th century ushered in the beginning of the bloody Hundred Years' War in France, an epic conflict with Scotland that would last into the 16th century, famine in Northern Europe and the Black Death.
