Apostrophe
Judging by Google, British sources appear to favor the apostrophe (notably the BBC), and since this is a British and French history article, local usage seems best. Definitely needs that redirect from Hundred Years War, though! JamesDay 08:51, 20 Oct 2003 (UTC)
When it says "sold Knollys (Canolles) and Cavely," does "sold" mean sell by ransom? If so, please edit the article because this was not obvious to me at all. If you don't want to change it, just contact me and I'll do it myself. Kent Wang 05:04, 8 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Where it says "Charles, like the English, was not bound by..chivalry" should this not read "unlike"?
Chandos

The article nammed "Chandos and Du Guesclin, we all have our heroes !" indicates that he was killed at Morthemer but don't say anything about chateau Lussac.
Origin
The wording "a French noble faction" suggest that there were a pro-Edward faction also. I changed this since I don't think Edward had any supporters in France in 1328Fornadan 23:21, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
The Englich claim to the French throne
I find this really more annoying than helpful. It is basically a list of English kings and queens up til when they dropped the claim. it could have been cut down to one or two sentences like "the English kept up their claim on the French throne until..."HHornblower 05:09, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
well this has been sort of fixed now...but now it points to says: England continued to make claims on the French throne for years afterwards until the Act of Union in 1801.
When you click on the "act of union" link there is no mention of france, or one signed in 1801.
Gascony vs Aquitaine
Anonymous user 65.94.146.141 just changed all references of Gascony to Aquitaine -- it may very well be correct, im not an expert on this, however my sources for the history of the period mention Gascony and not Aquitaine. Can anyone confirm this is a correct edit? Stbalbach 05:21, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- My sources consitently use Gascony too. Not quite sure why, but it may be because of presicion,since the old duchy of Aquitaine consisted of several regions, but Gascony was the only remaining in 1337. IMO, it would be best to use Gascony for geographical locations, since this seems to be what modern historians use Fornadan 11:49, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Looking at the timeline link (external links), Gascony and Aquitaine are used interchangeably depending on the context. For now Ive changed it back to Gascony. Stbalbach 05:32, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Major battles
Why do some dates of major battles appear after the year, and some before the year in the List? Can this be standardized, please, it would look so much more organized. Dieter Simon 23:42, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
