Ok doing some reading on the Hundred Years war recently and a battle I had heard much about, but did not know much about, came to the forefront and I read it over more. Seems here that this was part of the turning point in the war which really helped the English get off the ground. With their victory at Sluys, they were able to negate the overall effect the French navy had on the war, as well as prevent any type of counter invasion of England.
So what I'm wondering, would the English have been able to keep their base in Calais, let alone supply it. And would the French actually attempt an invasion of England in the 1340's or would they be more interested in just driving the English from the continent?
