Question

A CAUSE of the Hundred Years' War was the __________.



conflict between French kings and the papacy



Viking invasions of Western Europe



rivalry between French and English kings



struggle between Catholics and Protestants

Answer 1

There were 3 main causes:

Firstly, the feudal relationship between the English and French kings. Kings of England were Duke of Aquitaine in their own right, and owned other lands in France as well.However, they were technically vassals of the King of France for these lands, and disliked this partially subordinate position. For their part, French kings were suspicious that English kings would attempt to consolidate their French lands as a hereditary, independent part of their English dominions.

Secondly,growing English commercial domination of the rich French controlled province of Flanders.The burghers and weavers of Flemish towns and cities relied on English wool (England's chief export) as raw material for their textile industry. This gave England an important influence over Flemish economic policy, and the French kings didn't like this.

Finally,France had a long standing alliance with Scotland (the Auld Alliance), and rendered assistance and support to the Scots in their more or less continuous border warfare with England.

This all came to head in 1337. Phillip Vi of France declared all English owned lands south of the river Loire confiscated. Edward III of England responded by declaring himself the rightful king of France (he had a strong hereditary claim through his grandmother, which had been overlooked when Phillip VI was declared king in 1328), and invaded;the Hundred Years War was underway.

Answer 5

The immediate causes of the Hundred Years War were the dissatisfaction of Edward III of England with the nonfulfillment by Philip VI of France of his pledges to restore a part of Guienne taken by Charles IV; the English attempts to control Flanders, an important market for English wool and a source of cloth; and Philip's support of Scotland against England.
