England became more important to my family during the Hundred Years War.  As feudal holders to the French throne, the Normans owed fealty to the French king.  But we held the kingship of England in our own right, and we held closer claim to the throne than the new French king.  We claimed it, the king disputed the claim, and a war broke out that would last a hundred years.  That war changed us all forever.
