    Why Did The War Begin?: - Simon Jenkins: A Short History of England

    The Hundred Years' War began due to disputes over territory and conflicting claims to the French throne. Specifically, England claimed ownership over the Duchy of Guyenne, which was a fief of France, and from 1337 the English kings also claimed the French crown. This was due to the English kings being the closest relatives to the last direct Capetian king of France. When that king died without an heir in 1328, the English laid claim to the throne but the French crown went to Philip VI of Valois instead under Salic law. Tensions and conflicts over these issues led the English and French monarchs to declare war in 1337, marking the start of the Hundred Years' War.

    3. Why did the war begin?

    The name the Hundred Years’ War has been used by historians since
    the beginning of the nineteenth century to describe the long conflict that
    pitted the kings and kingdoms of France and England against each other
    from 1337 to 1453.
    Two factors lay at the origin of the conflict: firstly, the status of the
    duchy of Guyenne (or Aquitaine)-though it belonged to the kings of
    England, it remained a fief of the French crown, and the kings of
    England wanted independent possession; secondly, as the closest
    relatives of the last direct Capetian king (Charles IV, who had died in
    1328), the kings of England from 1337 claimed the crown of France.
    When in 1328 Charles of France had died without issue, Edward’s
    mother Isabella had claimed her brother’s throne for her son against the
    rival claim of Charle’s cousin, Philip VI of Valois, who ascended it. The
    succession thus pitted a sister’s claim against that of a male cousin.
    Under French Salic law a female could not inherit the throne. England
    disagreed and, with Edward’s assumption of full power in 1330, the
    matter went to dispute. Years of tortuous diplomacy led to French
    support for Scottish raids over the English border and for pirate attacks
    on England’s wool and wine trade with the continent. In 1337 the two
    monarchs, Edward and Philip, declared themselves at war, and in 1340
    hostilities commenced with a naval battle at Sluys. England under
    Edward’s personal command defeated the French for control of the
    Channel and thus won freedom to transport an army to France. Some 200
    French ships were abandoned as their crews dived overboard to escape a
    hail of English arrows. The sea was so filled with blood it was said the
    fish spoke French. Thus began what was later dubbed the Hundred Years
    War.
