Anglo-French War of 1202-14

Years: 1202 - 1214

The Anglo-French War is a war between the Kingdom of France and the Kingdom of England.

The war is mainly fought in Normandy, where John, King of England fights King Philip II of France for domination.

The end of the war comes at the decisive Battle of Bouvines, where Philip defeats England and its allies.

This conflict is an episode in a longer conflict between France and England over the possessions of the English monarchy in France, which starts with Henry II of England's accession to the English throne in 1154 and his conflict with Louis VII of France, and ends with the decisive victory of Louis IX of France over Henry III of England at the Battle of Taillebourg in 1242.

“Let us study things that are no more. It is necessary to know them, if only to avoid them. The counterfeits of the past assume false names, and gladly call themselves the future. Let us inform ourselves of the trap. Let us be on our guard. The past has a visage, superstition, and a mask, hypocrisy. Let us denounce the visage and let us tear off the mask."

― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables (1862)
