The First Hundred Years' War (French: Première Guerre de Cent Ans; 1159–1259) was a series of conflicts and disputes during the High Middle Ages in which the House of Capet, rulers of the Kingdom of France, fought the House of Plantagenet (also known as the House of Anjou or the Angevins), rulers of the Kingdom of England. The conflict emerged over the fiefs in France held by the Angevins, which at their peak covered around half of the territory of the French realm. The struggle between the two dynasties resulted in the gradual conquest of these fiefs by the Capetians and their annexation to the French crown lands, as well as subsequent attempts by the House of Plantagenet to retake what they believed to be their rightful ancestral claims in western France.
While not a widely used term, "First Hundred Years’ War" is the designation most often applied to this period, referring retrospectively to the Anglo-French conflicts preceding the later, more widely recognized Hundred Years' War (1337–1453). These conflicts are often seen as a precursor to the later war, involving many of the same belligerents and dynasties. Like the later Hundred Years' War, this conflict was not a single war, but rather a historiographicalperiodisation to encompass dynastically related conflicts revolving around the dispute over the Angevin Empire.
