Before the start of the war, it had been almost unthinkable that a vassal lord would ever break away from his liege lord, unless he had extremely good grounds to claim that his liege lord wasn't upholding his part of the deal. But in the Hundred Years' War two very great and powerful vassals broke their bonds with the French king and betrayed their 'sacred' vows for no other reason than political expediency and self-interest: the King of England who held his vast French possessions as a vassal to the French King; and the Duke of Burgundy who sided with the English in order to become independent from the King and to become a sovereign ruler of his own lands.
Another factor was the capture of the French King John II by the English. This made it clear to his vassals that a liege lord was as vulnerable as anyone else. Moreover, his voluntary return to English captivity after his son had escaped there, was a heavy blow to his prestige as a liege lord. All the King's vassals in France now had to more or less fend for themselves, which also made them less inclined to see themselves as mere vassals.
