The war fought between England and France from 1337 to 1453 is known as the Hundred Years' War. This long conflict was characterized by a series of battles and political machinations over territorial claims and the English monarchy's right to the French throne. The war saw significant battles, including those at Crécy, Poitiers, and Agincourt. It was marked by the emergence of national identities in both England and France and notable figures such as Joan of Arc, who played a crucial role in lifting the siege of Orléans. The war ultimately resulted in the end of English territorial ambitions in France, consolidating the French monarchy's power.
