The above is an excellent history of what was happening in France during the Hundred Years War with England. The English themselves thought they had a claim to the French throne. King Edward III of England's mother, Isabella of France, was

the daughter of a French king, I forget which  one. When Isabella's brothers all died out,  the French noblemen, rather than

have an English king, chose a Valois nobleman  to be king of France and Charles VII, who Joan of Arc got crowned at

Rheims, was a Valois descendent of the king chosen by the French nobles in the previous century (1300's), and this

ticked off the English who felt that they had a better right to the French throne. It was a big mess.
