Publisher's Summary

Get this fascinating biography of the French King Philip VI and learn how his fierce rivalry with King Edward of England started the grueling Hundred Years’ War!

King Philip VI was the first French King of the famous House Valois, and he inherited France at the height of its power. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t remain that way for long.

His fierce rivalry with King Edward of England destabilized the region, threw France into turmoil, and launched one of Europe's most infamous wars: The Hundred Years’ War.

Originally born into minor nobility, Philip was never considered to one day be king. The life journey of Philip VI, the first king of House Valois, is a truly fascinating story filled with unsuspecting inheritance, fierce rivalry, political intrigue, and an insatiable need for victory on the battlefield.

How did he inherit the Kingdom of France? What caused his bitter hatred of the English King Edward III? How did Philip manage as France’s geopolitical position deteriorated to a critical state of weakness? In King Philip VI: A French King’s Rivalry That Would Ignite the Hundred Years’ War, we explore every detail of the tumultuous life of Philip VI, King of France.

Get your copy of King Philip VI: A French King’s Rivalry That Would Ignite the Hundred Years’ War to experience his fascinating life, and learn about one of the influential characters of the Hundred Years’ War!
