| Summary: | The outstanding feature of the diplomacy of western Europe, at the end of the thirteenth, and throughout the fourteenth century, was the conflict between France and England. This conflict revolved about the English possessions in France. In the eleventh and twelfth centuries, these had been very extensive comprising Normandy, Maine, Anjou, Poitou, Saintonge and Aquitaine. All of this, except Aquitaine, had been lost to the French crown at the beginning of the thirteenth century, when Philip Augustus of France had confiscated them from King John of England. |
