The Hundred Years' War, between England and France, lasted from 1337 AD to 1453 AD. This war began when the last Capetian king died without leaving a successor, and English King Edward III claimed the French throne. Although France tended to lose the battles, such as the Battle of Agincourt as portrayed in Shakespeare's Henry V, the French were able to win the war, which ended with the fall of the city of Bordeaux to French forces, leaving England with only the city of Calais in France. Even though the war is called the Hundred Years' War, it actually did not last that long. There were several brief times of peace, some brought on by the bubonic plague.
