Lancastrian War (1415–1453)
The Lancastrian War (1415–1453) was a phase of the Hundred Years' War between England and France, marked by the conflict over the French crown. It began with King Henry V of England asserting his claim to the French throne, leading to notable battles like Agincourt in 1415, where English forces achieved a decisive victory. However, the war saw fluctuating fortunes, including France’s resurgence under leaders like Joan of Arc. Ultimately, the conflict ended in 1453 with the loss of English territories in France, solidifying French control and weakening English influence on the continent.
