The Hundred Years War was sparked by a dispute over the succession of the French throne. The French king, Charles IV, died without a direct heir in 1328, leading to a power struggle between the French royal family and the English monarchy. The English king, Edward III, claimed the French crown as his own, triggering a long and brutal conflict that lasted from 1337 to 1453.
