 THE HUNDRED YEARS WAR 531 EXERCISES AND READINGS Chronological Table. List the events narrated in the above chapter in three parallel columns. Devote the middle column to events in which both France and Eng- land were concerned, one of the side columns to events in which Eng- land alone was concerned, and the other side column to French history. Arrange the list of events in each column in chronological order, and so that events which occurred simultaneously may be opposite one another in their respective columns. This chronological table may be preserved and, as the succeeding chapters are read, other columns may be added to cover their history during the later Middle Ages. Edward III and Flanders.
