One of the primary causes of the Hundred Years' War was that England held Gascony as a fief from the French throne.In the twelfth and thirteenth century,when rule was based on feudal traditions of vassalage and when the territories around Gascony had not yet been absorbed into the French domain,this was fairly unproblematic but by the fourteenth century,with the emergence of the idea of sovereignty and the idea that the French throne ought to be able to exert powers within its "natural borders," English control of Gascony became problematic.
