Detailed explanation-1: -The Hundred Years’ War was a long struggle between England and France over succession to the French throne. It lasted from 1337 to 1453, so it might more accurately be called the “116 Years’ War.” The war starts off with several stunning successes on Britain’s part, and the English forces dominate France for decades.
Detailed explanation-2: -Edward III, byname Edward of Windsor, (born November 13, 1312, Windsor, Berkshire, England-died June 21, 1377, Sheen, Surrey), king of England from 1327 to 1377, who led England into the Hundred Years’ War with France.
Detailed explanation-3: -Chaucer did serve in the Hundred Years’ War. While there, he spent time trying to familiarize himself with the works of Italian poets Dante and Petrarch. Sadly, while traveling, Chaucer had little time to devote to writing. In 1359, Chaucer was called to join Edward III in the early stages of the invasion of France.
Detailed explanation-4: -Abstract. The first three pilgrim portraits of Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales summarize English fighting capabilities during the Hundred Years’ War, the conflict between England and France and allied powers that dragged on from 1337 to 1453.
