The [[king]]s of the House of Valois were descended from [[Charles of Valois]] who was the third son of [[Philip III of France]]. They claimed the [[Salic law]] put them ahead of [[Edward III of England]] to rule France. Edward III of England thought he had gotten the right to the French [[crown]] through his mother. The two countries fought the [[Hundred Years' War]] because of that disagreement. {{history-stub}} [[Category:Hundred Years' War]] [[Category:House of Valois| ]] [[Category:1520s disestablishments]] [[Category:1320s establishments in Europe]] [[Category:14th century in France]] [[Category:15th century in France]] [[Category:16th century in France]] [[Category:1500s in Europe]] [[Category:1510s in Europe]] [[Category:1520s in Europe]]
