Hundred Years' War

1337–1453 · 14th century

The Hundred Years' War was a series of conflicts between the kings of England and France from 1337 to 1453, caused by disputes over Gascony and English claims to the French crown. English victories at Crécy, Poitiers and Agincourt were reversed after Joan of Arc's intervention in 1429. The war ended with the French victory at Castillon and the loss of Gascony to England.
