Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar ohne Anstreichungen / a good and clean copy without markings. - Although the term ‘Hundred Years War’ was not coined until the 1860s, the Anglo-French conflicts of the later middle ages have long been of interest to historians. The principal issue remains Edward Ill’s assumption of the title ‘King of France’ in 1340. Did he seriously intend to become king, or did he act simply to create a useful bargaining counter in the long-running struggle over the feudal status of English royal lands in France? Equally difficult to establish are the motives of his successors in preserving the claim to the throne of France - a claim which was not finally abandoned until 1801-2. This book explores the trends in historical opinion from the time of the wars to the present day. It shows how the wars of Edward III can only be understood by looking at Anglo-French relations in previous centuries, and explains why a lasting settlement to the territorial issues had already proved impossible before Edward laid claim to the French throne. It provides a straightforward narrative of English involvement in France, placing the well known military events in their diplomatic context. By focusing on the treaties of 1259, 1360 and 1420, it suggests that there was not one ‘hundred year war’ but rather three separate yet linked conflicts, all with significant implications for the European scene as a whole. In conclusion, Dr Curry suggests that the nature of Anglo-French hostility in the later middle ages set the two nations on a collision course for several centuries to come. / Contents Preface Maps English lands in France before 1337 English lands by the Treaty of Bretigny, 1360 The extent of English control of France in the fifteenth century The European context Genealogical Tables The French succession from 1180 to 1350 French kings from 1350 to 1483 English kings from 1327 to 1483 Introduction 1 The Hundred Years War and Historians Contemporary chroniclers The sixteenth century The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries The nineteenth century The twentieth century 2 Origins and Objectives: Anglo-French Conflict in the Fourteenth Century Feudal origins Dynastic origins 1340-1369 1369-1399 3 New Wars or Old?
