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 is a hand and a half sword, named for the crushing victory by the English in 1346. The sword comes with a steel pommel and guard, with a wood and leather grip. The Crecy War-sword has a well-tempered high carbon steel blade.  Also includes a leather scabbard with metal throat and chape.
