Castillon Bastard Sword
|
The Hundred Years' War was a conflict between France and England, lasting 116 years from 1337 to 1453. It was fought primarily over claims by the English kings to the French throne and was punctuated by several brief and two lengthy periods of peace before it finally ended in the expulsion of the English from France, with the exception of the Calais Pale.
The war had its origin in disputes over lands held in fief by the English crown, the aid given by the French to the Scots in their wars against England and French interference with the profitable wool trade between the English and Flemish cities. The war began when Edward III of England claimed his right to the French throne through his mother Isabella, daughter of the French King Philip IV. We have chosen two sword types, one French, one English, that saw service during this period . Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®. Includes leather scabbard.
