The 100 Years War by George W. For Mrs. Waterbury – Gifted Ed January 9, 2008
TIMELINE and Events of the 100 Years War • The Beginning • First Phases of the War (1337-1380) • Famous Battles of the War • Victory Goes to….?
In the Beginning • This war really began in 1328 when the English people wanted Edward III of England to be the new King of France. He had a good claim to the throne through his mother’s side of the family, but the French didn’t want an English King! The crowned Philip VI instead. France in 1328.
The Beginning (cont.) • This war officially began, however, in 1337 when the French King (who was crowned instead of Edward III), Philip VI, took Guienne (a fief) from the English.
What was the 100 Years War? • It was a war between France and England • It was made up of small conflicts covering a period of over 100 years • The war lasted from 1337-1453 • They were fighting over who should trade with Flanders and who should be the King of France!
First Phases of the War (1330-1333) • Edward III was only 15 when he received the throne, and yet he succeeded in avenging his father in 1330. • He won a very important battle against the Scots in 1333 at Halidon Hill.
First Phases of the War (cont.) • In 1338 after the death of his mother’s brother,Philip VI,he proclaimed himself king of France,beginning the Hundred Years war. • French nobles had a choice: who would give them the most power and independence in their land – a French King in Paris, who they helped into power, or a distant Englaih King ruling from London?
Famous Battles of the War • The Battle of Crecy was a major downfall for the French. Edward III defeated King Philip VI of France, leaving 1500 French chivalry dead on the battle field. • The Battle of Orleans was fought in 1428. This is the famous battle where young Joan of Arc (she was only 17) defeated the English, and France was on the verge of collapse! A typical C15th English longbowman. Dreaded by the French in the 100 Years War, the fearsome power of the bow was later turned on fellow Englishmen during the Wars of the Roses.
Victory Goes to….? NOBODY! “I fought for a hundred years for this! “ “AAWW MAN!” “I QUIT!” In 1659 – Louis XIV’s Treaty of the Pyrenees reunited France, making the war all for NOTHING.
