Why did the French refute his legitimate claim to the throne of France?
>>18358922He had no aura.
>>18358923He was pretty aurasome
>>18358925If he had aura he would've been King of France.
>>18358922body odor
>>183589221. Precedent was already established for passing over the female line2. They didn't want the king of England ruling over them. Simple as that.
>>18358932The French have a reputation for malodorousness that the English do not.
>>18358922He didn't actually want to be King of France, he just wanted an excuse to wage war.
>>18359140and that's a good thing
>>18359140He had a valid claim, even if it upset the French noblemen, and they were worried that English economic management (that was having such obviously positive effects in Flanders and other areas controlled by the English kings) would threaten their position in society. That's all it was, desperate attempts by a few butthurt frogeaters to secure their own privilege and wealth. Nothing more.
>>18360405So they were racist patriarchal classit luddite chuds?
>>18360420No need for the meaningless buzzwords. They were wealthy and influential men who didn't want to lose their wealth or influence. That's a story you'll find basically everywhere in history.
>>18360425You don't want to the name the problem
>>18360435No, you're retarded.
>>18360405>He had a valid claim, even if it upset the French noblemenYes, but others had stronger claims. I think the point Anon was making, and I agree with him, is that Edward III himself didn't really want to be king. The claim to the throne was a bargaining chip for him. What he ultimately carried about was his rights in Aquitaine.
