Correct answer: English and French monarchs increased their powers with new methods of warfare.
Explanation: The Hundred Years' War (1337–1453) encouraged monarchs to raise and finance professional armies, develop artillery and infantry tactics (longbows, cannons, dismounted men‑at‑arms), and build central administrations to collect taxes—weakening feudal levies and local baronial power and strengthening royal authority. The other choices are incorrect: the war did not drive the rediscovery of classical texts (that’s more tied to the Italian Renaissance and events like the fall of Constantinople), the papacy did not successfully restore peace, and knights were often outmatched by infantry and new weapons rather than repeatedly defeating common foot soldiers.
