CE 1337 - The Hundred Years' War with France begins.
The Hundred Years' War between England and France began in 1337 and lasted for 116 years until 1453.
The conflict was a series of battles between the two countries over English claims to the French throne, which had been held for centuries by the French monarchy.
The war began when King Edward III of England declared himself the rightful ruler of France, claiming that his mother was the daughter of the French king.
The French King Philip VI rejected Edward's claim and declared him an enemy, and the two countries went to war.
During the Hundred Years' War, the English and French fought battles on land and on sea, with each side making gains and losses.
In 1346, the English army, led by Edward III, won its most famous victory at the Battle of Crécy.
In 1415, the French army led by Joan of Arc managed to reclaim much of the lost French territories.
