what was one cause of the hundred years’ war?\n○ king edward iii claimed the french throne.\n○ king phillip vi claimed the english throne.\n○ king charles vii claimed the english throne.\n○ king henry v claimed the french throne.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
The Hundred Years’ War had multiple causes, one of which was the claim to the French throne. King Edward III of England claimed the French throne based on his maternal lineage (his mother was Isabella, daughter of the French king). King Phillip VI was the French king, not claiming the English throne. King Charles VII was involved later in the war (Joan of Arc's time), and King Henry V's claim came during the war, but the initial claim that helped spark the war was Edward III's. So the correct option is the one about King Edward III claiming the French throne.
Answer:
King Edward III claimed the French throne.
