Hundred year war started in 1337? Wonder when it ended. Nope. No way of figuring that out. And no way of adding 100 to 1337

Did you know that 1337 + 666 = 2003? There was a thread about this... Back in 2003

I've seen different things, but it's right around there Cymoro.

Ex. some historians believe it started in 1336, and went to year XXXX (insert random number that starts with 15)

I find the fact that the year was 1337 interesting, but I knew the Hundred Years War wasn't 100 years long.

I don't remember learning this . Meanie teacher! At least I learned something new today . So for sure it started in 1337 and didn't last 100 years exactly? Odd, but cool but..why is it called the 100 year war? Did they round the number or something? Myabe they just thought it sounded catchy.

I searched a bit in Google ...

http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/froissart1.html
Says 1337-1453 there ... but there's other pages that say 1336-1565 instead


Interesting coincidence, though, but that war happened long, very long before anyone ever thought of coming up with 1337 -> l33t -> leet -> elite ... calling it the "Elite War" would be pretty weird

1337 was also the year that the titles Duke and Dutchess were first used.

And I thought it was generally considered to have lasted 116 years.

I learned about this war before (About 2-3 years ago)

Never knew it started in 1337, and forgot it wasn't 100 years long. I did know it wasn't that long sometime though

I remember that thread, but honestly. coincidence happens when you look for them.

I remember that there was alot of other coincidences in that thread, or maybe it was some other thread.

AOL speak is mainly used by "Cool people" and "Counterstrike players". However there are expections.

If you just noticed the whole 1337 thing with the hundred years war and the 1337 + 666 = 2003 thing, you need to emerge from your rock.
