Exercises on the Hundred Years' War

(FGV-SP) The Hundred Years' War (1337 - 1453), between the French and the English, had the following main consequences:

a) the consolidation of monarchical power in France and the almost complete expulsion of the English from French territory;

b) the consolidation of monarchical power in England and the almost complete expulsion of the French from English territory;

c) the incorporation of part of the French territory by England and the consequent weakening of the royal power in France;

d) the incorporation of part of the English territory by France and the consequent weakening of the royal power in England;

e) the alliance between French and Flemish and the end of English hegemony over European trade.

(ACAFE) Among the causes of the decay of feudalism, it is correct to mention:
I. the Commercial and Urban Renaissance;

II. the emergence of a new social class:the bourgeoisie;

III. the Hundred Years' War, involving France and England;

IV. the union of the king and the landlords, aiming at political centralization.

The correct alternatives are:

1. I and IV
2. I, II and III
3. I and II
4. II, III and IV
5. II and III

The beginning of the Hundred Years' War occurred as a result of succession differences in relation to the French throne, after the death of Philip the Handsome. Philip of Valois, French nobleman and nephew of Philip the Fair, claimed the throne as did Edward III, King of England and grandson of Philip himself. However, the great French feudal lords chose Felipe de Valois, based on:

1. Custom Law , which followed the custom of always placing a French king on the throne.
2. Exhortation , by Charlemagne, so that no Englishman would be king of the French Empire.
3. Salic Law , according to which the throne of France could not be occupied or transmitted by maternal line.
4. Law of Chivalry , according to which only French knights could assume the throne of France.
5. Suntuary law , through which kings should follow a strict code of posture, wearing luxurious clothes, a habit not practiced by Edward III.

One of the reasons that contributed to Edward III claiming the French throne after the death of Charles IV and that would start the Hundred Years' War was the need to occupy a rich region of commerce and manufactures on the European continent. What region was this?

1. Flanders.
2. Hamburg.
3. Champagnat.
4. Genoa.
5. Lisbon.

Letter A. The War made it possible for the formation of the French national monarchy and for the succession disputes in continental regions belonging to France to no longer be the target of English kings.

Letter B . The political centralization of the late Middle Ages is due more to an imposition by the kings than to a union, mainly due to the fact that part of the power of the feudal lords was withdrawn.

Letter C . The Salic Law was used at that time to prevent the accession of Edward III to the throne. In this sense, only male heirs could assume the throne of France, which was not the case for Edward III, grandson of Philip the Fair, on his maternal side.

Letter A . Flanders was of great interest to England, which sold the wool produced on the island to fabric-producing factories in the Flemish region.
