High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The War of the Whiskers (c. 1152 - 1453) is a jocular term for the long conflict between medieval France and England, referring to the refusal of Louis VII of France to shave his newly acquired taste for a beard (i.e. whiskers) he had grown while fighting during the Crusades. Eleanor of Aquitaine, his wife at the time, demanded that he shave the beard and when he refused she annulled their marriage and married instead Henry II of England. This quarrel holistically lead to a war between the two nations over English territory in France. The final disputes had not been resolved until the end of the Hundred Year's War (1337-1453), thus giving this pseudo war a time span of 301 years.
