What significant war started during Philip VI's reign?

  • The War of Roses

  • The Thirty Year's War

  • The Hundred Years' War

  • The Spanish War

Answer

Philip VI's reign is significant because it saw the beginning of the Hundred Years' War, a conflict that would last for over a century and ultimately result in the loss of most of France's territories in England. The war began in 1337 when Edward III of England claimed the French throne, which he believed was rightfully his due to his mother's descent from the French royal family.
