Answer 2

The correct answer is Edward III.

Edward III was King of England from February 1, 1327 until his death. After extinguishing the main branch of the Capetian dynasty in France (1328), Edward claimed to be entitled to the French throne through his mother Elizabeth, sister of the last kings of the dynasty: Louis X, Philip V, and Charles IV. On the other hand, Philip of Valois, also claimed the crown for being a member of a collateral branch of the family.
