Explain the origins of the Hundred Years' War

What will be an ideal response?


The origins of the Hundred Years' War lay in the feudal histories of France and England. Larger and more protracted than any medieval conflict, the Hundred Years' War was the result of the long-standing English claim to continental lands held by the Norman rulers of England, whose ancestors were vassals of the French king. French efforts to wrest these feudal territories from English hands ignited decades of hostility and chronic resentment between the two burgeoning nation-states. But the immediate cause of the war was the English claim to the French throne, occasioned by the death of Charles, the last of the male heirs in a long line of French kings.
