A common mistake is to write about Hundred Years' War as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in c790 to the present day.

Anchor the answer to Part one: Conquered and conquerors, use precise evidence, and state whether Hundred Years' War is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
