The Breton War of Succession and Its Broader Impact
- The dispute over Brittany became part of the larger Anglo-French struggle in the Hundred Years’ War (1337–1453).
- Philip VI of France supported Charles of Blois, while Edward III of England backed John of Montfort.
- This war lasted until 1365, shaping the political landscape of Brittany for decades.
John of Montfort’s decisive early moves in 1341 gave him a fighting chance in the succession war, but the conflict would be long and brutal, ultimately deciding whether Brittany remained under French influence or aligned with England.
