The conflict was a large-scale SuccessionCrisis, which came about after the death of the last French Capetian king, Charles IV the Fair. Originally Edward III grudgingly accepted the succession of Philippe VI of Valois, paying homage to him in 1329 and 1331 as feudal overlord for Aquitaine (Guyenne), England's main source of salt and Bordeaux wine. ([[UsefulNotes/NationalDrinks The English have always loved their claret]].) However, when Philippe confiscated Guyenne in 1337, Edward reacted by claiming the French throne for himself (by descent through the female line he was more closely related to Charles IV than Philippe VI was[[/note By his own logic the actual heir would have been Philip Burgundy and Louis of Flanders, grandsons of Charles IV's elder brother Philip V]] ) and adding the arms of the Kingdom of France to those of England. (This claim and its heraldic manifestation were not renounced until the treaty of Amiens in 1802, a decade after [[UsefulNotes/TheFrenchRevolution France ceased being a kingdom]]). Because in the early phase of the war the duchy of Guyenne was the main bone of contention, some historians say that it actually began in 1294, when Philippe IV the Fair of France confiscated the duchy for the first time (he had to give it back to Edward I in 1297), leading to an uneasy peace, during which the English burned and razed a newly erected French fortress in 1323.

The Hundred Years War (in French, ''La Guerre de Cent Ans'') was a 116-year period of conflict (of which 79 were active periods of war) between UsefulNotes/TheHouseOfPlantagenet who ruled UsefulNotes/{{England}}, UsefulNotes/{{Ireland}}, UsefulNotes/{{Wales}} and a significant chunk of French territory, and UsefulNotes/{{France}}'s [[UsefulNotes/LEtatCestMoi House of Valois]], who owned what was the remainder of the lands. Traditionally set between 1337 and 1453, although the peace was really acknowledged only with the Treaty of Picquigny (1475), in which Louis XI bought off the [[UsefulNotes/WarsOfTheRoses Yorkist king]] Edward IV to abstain from his plans to renew the war in France.
