Furthermore, as most of the fighting took place in the summer months, as armour tended to rust quickly in the rain, and WD40 hadn't been invented. you can cut that total of 83 years by quite a bit.
Why did England want to rule France in the Hundred Years War?
In 1066, William, Duke of Normandy invaded England, and took the English crown - so he had control over both England and parts of France.

This old tension was the background for the 100 years war - and why England felt that it had a right to rule France.

What are three causes of the Hundred Years War?
One cause of the 30 yrs war was Frederick I of Bohemia closing down most of the Protestant churches and not letting them build anymore in the Protestant lands. Another cause which marked the beginning of it was the defenestration of Prague. Some Protestants entered Frederick I's castle and defenestrated (threw them out a window) that was 70 (more or less) high. They survive because the Catholics say angels caught them but the Protestants say they landed in some soft manuer. Another example that I am not so sure on was the Catholic Reformation and Council of Trent brought about a desire to take back the Catholic lands from the Protestants. Not for sure about last cause. There are more causes also.

Is the duchy of bohemia a real political entity?
No, the Duchy of Bohemia does not exist. The land has been absorbed within the Czech Republic. Not only does the Duchy not exist as a Political Entity , the current claiman of the Duchy Title ha no connection to Bohemia either, not having any ancestors from within the land and knowing the line of descent claimed emded in 1611. Even had that line- The Rosenbergs, Rozmberks- survived, it would be difficult to make a claim to the throne as that line was not of Blood Royal. As the current claimant does noy legally have Fons Honorum, no titles within that area are legal or genuine and verifiable as claimed.
