Passage: Another factor in the revolt of 1381 was the conduct of the war with France. In 1337 Edward III of England had pressed his claims to the French throne, beginning a long-running conflict that became known as the Hundred Years' War. Edward had initial successes, but his campaigns were not decisive. Charles V of France became more active in the conflict after 1369, taking advantage of his country's greater economic strength to commence cross-Channel raids on England. By the 1370s, England's armies on the continent were under huge military and financial pressure; the garrisons in Calais and Brest alone, for example, were costing £36,000 a year to maintain, while military expeditions could consume £50,000 in only six months. Edward died in 1377, leaving the throne to his grandson, Richard II, then only ten years old.

How many years before Edward III of England had pressed for the French throne until his death? How many years before the revolt of 1381 did Charles V of France become more active in the conflict? How many years before the revolt of 1381 did Edward die? How many years passed between 1337 and Edward's death in 1377? How many years passed between Charles V of France becoming more active in the conflict and the death of Edward? How many years passed between Edward III pressing his claims to the French throne and the revolt of 1381? How many £ was the cost for a year of the garrisons in Calais and Brest and what military expeditions could consume? What year was Edward III of England grandson, Richard II, born?
