Multiple men were in line for both of the crown titles, which led to several conflicts breaking out. There was also a Salic Law passed in France that stated that the throne could not be passed to a woman. The Hundred Years War was significant to history because it marked a period of major instability in medieval Europe which allowed for future conflicts to happen.
