In this episode, we explore how King Edward III of England initiated the Hundred Years' War by leveraging a dubious claim to the French throne, and examine the catastrophic consequences of his refusal to accept a political loss. We discuss the complexities of medieval succession law, the diplomatic failures that led to prolonged conflict, and the lasting impact of this extended war on both England and France.
