The long series of campaigns between England and France from 1337 to 1453, known collectively as the Hundred years War (although it actually spanned 120 years), all took place in France. 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.
The Crecy War Sword named for the crushing victory by the English in 1346 features an unsharpened carbon steel blade, steel pommel and guard and a wood grip with leather wrap. Includes a matching leather scabbard with steel accents. Overall Length: 45 1/2'' Blade:36'' Weight: 2 lb 4 oz Retail Price: $189.95
