Answer 1

The Hundred Years' War began with King Edward III's claim to the French throne, was marked by Henry V's successes with the longbow, and featured Joan of Arc's key military leadership for France.

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the statements regarding the Hundred Years' War, these are correct:

• It began when King Edward III of England invaded France because he claimed he had a legitimate claim to the throne.
• Henry V of England utilized new weapons like the longbow to defeat the French at several battles and was eventually named heir to the French throne as a result of his victories.
• Joan of Arc led the French military to win numerous battles, including putting an end to the Siege of Orleans.
