The Hundred Years' War
Not only did the people in Europe during the 1300s have to deal with epidemic disease, but they also had to deal with war. England and France battled with each other on French soil for just over a century.
When the last Capetian king died without a successor, England’s Edward III, as grandson of Philip IV, claimed the right to the French throne.
The war that Edward III launched for that throne continued on and off from 1337 to 1453. It became known as the Hundred Years’ War. Victory had gone between the two countries.Finally, between 1421 and 1453, the French rallied and drove the English out of France entirely, except for the port city of Calais.
The Hundred Years’ War brought a change in the style of warfare in Europe. At this time some combatants were still operating under medieval ideals of chivalry. They looked with contempt on the common foot soldiers and archers who fought alongside them. This contempt would change as the longbow changed warfare.
