Hundred Years War

The Hundred Years' War was a conflict between France and England, lasting 116 years from 1337 to 1453. It was fought primarily over claims by the English kings to the French throne and was punctuated by several brief and two lengthy periods of peace before it finally ended in the expulsion of the English from France, with the exception of the Calais Pale. Thus, the war was in fact a series of conflicts and is commonly divided into three or four phases: the Edwardian War (1337-1360), the Caroline War (1369-1389), the Lancastrian War (1415-1429), and the slow decline of English fortunes after the appearance of Joan of Arc, (1412-1431). The term "Hundred Years' War" was a later historical term invented by historians to describe the series of events.

The protracted conflict between England and France from 1337 to 1453. Edward III began the war in earnest when he assumed the title ‘king of France’ in 1337. The war was fought in stops and starts, with numerous truces and false instances of peace, during which there were many battles fought. The tactics of chevauchée and siege warfare were used
with great effect. Early English victories at Crècy , Poitiers and Agincourt were gradually reversed until the last English holding
on the continent, (except for Calais), fell in 1453.

The war between England and France that lasted from the middle of the 14th century to the middle of the 15th century concerning the accession to the French throne and various holdings in France that had been under the control of the English crown. The techniques of warfare used, siege war, the chevauchée , and occasional set-piece battles were well recorded by Froissart and Engerrand de Monstrelet, two invaluable sources for study of the high middle ages.
