| Hundred Years' War (1337-1360) | While France in the early 14th century had become increasingly centralized, the German states of the Holy Roman Empire had become more decentralized. This meant that the Low Countries were now de facto sovereign, with their princes feeling the encroaching power of the French king. In August 1337, the majority of them signed a treaty of alliance with England. In return for their services, Edward III promised to pay them heavy fees. The neighbouring County of Flanders had difficulties of its own. While a French fief, its large cloth making industry was wholly dependent on wool imports from England. This trade had been embargoed by the English government in 1336, and by December the situation had become so grave that the artisans revolted. The Count was forced out, and a new government was formed in Ghent, led by the merchant Jacob van Artevelde. Philip VI was forced to accept Flanders's neutrality. (references) | ||
