King Edward III's reign was marked by a number of significant events and issues. Some of the most notable include:

The Hundred Years' War: King Edward III claimed the French throne through his mother Isabella of France, and he led England in the Hundred Years' War against France, which lasted from 1337 to 1453. He won several notable victories, including the Battle of Crécy and the Battle of Poitiers.

The Black Death: The Black Death, a devastating plague, swept through Europe during Edward III's reign, killing millions of people and causing widespread economic and social disruption.

The Peasants' Revolt: In 1381, a massive revolt broke out among the lower classes in England, known as the Peasants' Revolt. The rebellion was sparked by a number of factors, including the high taxes imposed to support the war with France, and the poor economic conditions caused by the Black Death.

The Order of the Garter: King Edward III founded the Order of the Garter, one of the most prestigious chivalric orders in Europe. The order was established to promote chivalry and to serve as a focus for national pride and unity.

The economic growth: King Edward III's reign saw significant economic growth and prosperity, particularly in the wool trade. This economic growth led to the development of new towns and the growth of existing ones, and also resulted in the rise of a new class of wealthy merchants and tradesmen.

King's claim to the French Throne: King Edward III's claim to the French Throne, which was based on his mother's ancestry, was a major source of tension between England and France throughout his reign and contributed to the outbreak of the Hundred Years' War.
