Philip VI of France and Edward III of England were involved in a conflict over territorial claims and the French crown. Edward III asserted his right to the French throne through his mother, Isabella, who was the daughter of Philip IV of France. This claim was a significant factor leading to the outbreak of the Hundred Years' War in 1337, as Edward sought to establish his legitimacy as king of France against Philip VI's reign. The dispute centered on issues of feudal rights and succession, ultimately escalating into a prolonged military conflict.
