42 min•2 juli 2013
It's claimed that Edward started the war against Francve for glory and fame. This is deeply wrong. The root cause was French aggression. Philip VI was determined to see the French king supreme in France, the dream of Phlip Augustus. That required the House of Plantagenet defeated and expelled from the continent. After years of provocation, the trigger for war was the confiscation by Philip VI of Edward's lands in Aquitaine- as clear a declaration of war as you like.
