English and French monarchs increased their power as knights became less useful.
The war accelerated the decline of feudal cavalry—infantry armed with longbows, pikes and later gunpowder artillery proved decisive—forcing rulers to raise and pay professional armies and taxes. That shift strengthened centralized monarchies and weakened the traditional military and political dominance of knightly nobles.
