100 years war
The Hundred Years' War was a protracted armed conflict that actually lasted 116 years (1337-1453) between the kings of France and England. This war was feudal roots, since its purpose was simply to settle who would control the vast possessions of the English monarchs in French territories since 1154, due to the ascent to the English throne of Henry Plantagenet, Count of Anjou and married Eleanor of Aquitaine. Had international implications. Finally, after countless avatars, ended with the British withdrawal from French soil.
The end of the war and the victory of France
The reforms and improvements made by Carlos VII paid off: French pressure slowly began to push back the enemy and was laying siege and retaking, step by step, all British possessions on French soil. Without the Burgundian support, the British had to deliver Normandy in 1450 and the precious Aquitaine in 1453.
