With what English king did Philip V's relations deteriorate?
Henry II
Richard I
Edward II
John
Answer
The strained relationship between Philip V and Edward II stemmed from Edward's perceived favoritism towards his courtiers, particularly Piers Gaveston, which irked the French king. This favoritism led to a decline in Anglo-French relations and ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the Despenser War in 1321, further exacerbating tensions between the two rulers.
