Why did the English rulers feel they had a right to Normandy and other french lands?
The English rulers believed they had a right to Normandy and other French lands primarily due to historical claims and dynastic ties. William the Conqueror, the Duke of Normandy, became King of England after his successful invasion in 1066, which established a connection between the two regions. Additionally, subsequent English monarchs, such as King John, held territories in France through inheritance and marriage alliances, reinforcing their claims to these lands. This sense of entitlement was further fueled by the feudal system, where land ownership and loyalty were deeply intertwined.
