For over a hundred years England repeatedly invaded France on the pretext that her kings had a right to the French throne.

France was a large, unwieldy kingdom; England was small and poor, but for most of those hundred years she won the battles, sacked the towns and castles, and dominated the war.

It lasted from 1337 when Edward III formally claimed the throne of France, to 1453 when [with Normandy lost after an English occupation of 30 years] the last stronghold in Guyenne, which had been English for three centuries, finally fell.

The debacle took only four years, and England - accustomed to such glorious victories as Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt - could scarcely believe her defeat.
