What year was the hundred year war?

Answer 1

The Hundred Years' War was a series of separate conflicts fought primarily between the House of Valois and the House of Plantagenet lasting from 1337-1453.

After the last of the Capetian line of French kings perished, the throne of France was vacant. The House of Valois from France claimed the throne while the House of Plantagenet from England claimed to be the rulers of both France and England. At the time, marriages between two nobles from different countries were common. They were intended to provide peace between the two nations, and because of this, some Plantagenets did have roots tracing back to previous French kings.

Throughout the Edwardian War (1337-1360), the Caroline War (1369-1389), and the Lancastrian War (1415-1429), English forces continued to control the war. The French were pushed back and lost more land to English claim.

It was not until Joan of Arc emerged, that the English began to retreat. Joan convinced the Dauphin of France to send her to the Siege of Orléans. There, she raised the morale of the French troops and attacked the English, forcing them to lift the siege and retreat. The French were heavily inspired by Joan's bravery and began to push back against English forces. They recaptured important points from the English and were able to halt English invasions.

Later, news circulated about Joan's capture and execution. Nonetheless, French forces continued to reclaim lost territory. The Battle of Castillon in 1453 is considered to be the last battle of the Hundred Years' War. There, the English conceded victory to the French.

Despite early English advantages, the Dauphin was coronated as King Charles VII of France and the House of Valois was able to retain its claim to the French throne.
The Hundred Years' War was a generational struggle from 1337 to 1453 between two royal dynasties, the Plantagenets of England and the Valois of France, for the throne of France.
