The Hundred Years War, a 116 year war struggle from 1337 to 1453 was a war that raged between the most powerful European empires of their time, France and England. The rulers of the Kingdom of England and Kingdom of France got in a war over the secession to the French throne. The French king did not leave a son to rule, so the English king declared he should be king of both lands because women were not fit to rule. The war was fought mostly in French land and played an immense role on shaping both kingdoms and the world in multiple ways. The Hundred Year’s Was significant because it developed national pride, revolutionized warfare, and destroyed the French and British economy.

The Hundred Year War was a conflict between England and France from 1337 to 1453. It was coined by historians the “Hundred Year War’ due to the lengthy span of time it lasted, despite it actually lasting 116 years. The war was held in series of small conflicts. During this war, over 3.5 million soldiers lost their lives, making it one of the most brutal conflicts in history. Through the course of this event, both countries were significantly affected and the war also had many other consequences, both positive and negative.

The war lasted for such a long period of time because there were many different battles over different pieces of land. The war began in 1337 when the French raided some coastal English towns. The war would progress over time in three different phases called the Edwardian Era, the Caroline War and the Lancastrain War each part of the war being led by different leaders. The war began in favor of the English however the tide of the battle changed after 1360. The French took the upper hand in the war during the final years of the war, but the numbers of casualties on both sides were very

The first underlying and precipitating cause of the Hundred Years’ War was that England and France were too closely proximate emergent territorial powers. Another cause of the Hundred Years’ War was that Edward III of England was a vassal of Philip the Fair of France, and therefore held several sizeable French territories as fiefs. Also one of the underlying and precipitating causes of the Hundred Years’ was the quarrel between

For more than a hundred years, the Kingdom of England and the House of Valois of France found themselves locked in war for the French throne. The hundred and sixteen year series of battles took place from 1337 to 1453, with historians often separating it into three phases: the Edwardian Era (1337- 1360), the Caroline War (1369- 1389), and the Lancastrian War (1415- 1453). Despite English success that lasted the majority of the conflict, and was revived by Henry V, the war resulted a French victory but high casualty losses on both sides. Beyond this, the war was not only limited to the two belligerents, but also involved Scotland, Spain, and the Low Countries, such as Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg (Villalon). The French victory and resurgence are mostly accredited to the arrival of Joan of Arc and, subsequently, the unity of the French after her execution by the English. Despite this, the question of the significance of Joan of Arc in the context of ending the Hundred

The next major battle that occurred during the Hundred Year War was the Battle of Poitiers. The Battle of Poitiers was a battle that occurred after a six year break from war, warfare broke out again as Edward III’s son, Edward the Black Prince had attacked France in 1356. The French had a line of defense, however Edward was able to break through the defenses and attacked the French head on. The current king of France was King John II. Edward the Black Prince was able to cause a disastrous battle in France and the result of the battle was that Edward the Black Prince was able to capture King John II (Jean II) as well as almost 2,000 aristocracy members of France. Edward the Black Prince wanted a ransom. France was at a loss without their king and did not know what to do so they signed the Treaty of Bretigny in 1360 that states that they would cede a large amount of northern territory and the shoreline to England. In exchange for this deal, Edward the Black Prince was required to give up his claim to the throne. After the loss of the two great generals of England, Edward III and Edward the Black Prince, the French regained control of most parts of France and in 1389 the two sides signed a true as well as extended the treaty in 1396 for 28 years. In 1964, The Battle of Auray was the battle where the English forces under John Chandos besieged Auray and the leader of the French army, Bertrand du Guesclin, was captured. During this time, the French King known as King Jean II died

The Hundred Year War was a war between the French and English in the 13th and 14th century. The war was a conflict over land, titles and rights between both the French and English. This involved several generations of French and English who have claimed a period of more than a hundred years(Hundred Years’ War, pars.1). This was said to last form around 1337 to 1453 by the House of Plantagenet. It was accompanied by some significant battles and people during this time period of the Hundred Year War. The origins of the Hundred Years War included Joan of Arc Liberates the Orleans, The Battle of Agincourt and Philip VI.

In the war of 1346 the English battled the French. The English were led by King Edward III. They took out the much larger French army.(2) The purpose was to claim France. They succeeded and held it for over 200 years.

In 1397, Charles the 6th of France and Richard the 2nd of England agreed to a 30 year truce. The English were still in France, the French still wanted them out, and bands of brigands were rampaging all over the countryside. Civil war was brewing in both England and France. Despite the truce, small French forces managed to land in Scotland, England, and Wales to raid and pillage.

The Thirty Years' War was a conflict fought between the years 1618 and 1648, mainly in the Holy Roman Empire but also involving most of the other European countries.

The Battle of Agincourt occurred in the middle Ages, on October 25, 1415. This battle is one of the most memorable and strategically fought battles between England and France. The Battle of Agincourt involved England and France near Agincourt. The Battle of Agincourt happened during the “Hundred Years War”. The hundred year War began in 1337 and ended in 1453. The hundred years war actually lasted 116 years. The Hundred Years war included England, France and later Burgundy. Sometimes England won the battles and sometimes France won (Keegan 79).

England was experiencing arising conflict in its country in large part from religious conflict between different types of Protestants and factors including financial problems Charles I experienced as King. England was a Protestant country and when Charles I started implementing changes to the church, many got upset and fears he was turning the nation to Catholicism. Charles I also didn't spend his money wisely, just like his father, and found himself in the need to find more money in different ways. With Charles looking for money, he upset many people. England’s civil war in 1642 arose in large part due to differences in religious attitudes, the authority of the King and the lack of money he had for England.

There were many wars during this time, the first one being the War of St. Albans in 1459 where Richards yorkish army defeats Henry’s lancastrian army. Again in 1459 The Battle of the Ludford Bridge takes place and this time Henry wins and the yorkish run away.
