Description
In 1337, Edward III of England declared war on France, intent on laying claim to the French throne. While English forces won several important victories early on, the war was prolonged by a series of truces. When the war finally came to an end in 1453, long after Edward’s death, England and France were significantly changed by the war, particularly by the domestic issues triggered by years of warfare.
