Of course when they were done with the Muslim “threat”,they got right back into it with each other. (example: The very religious-based Hundred Year War)
Why would you say the Hundred Years' War was "very religious-based"? Seems like it was fundamentally a pretty political one rooted in historical sovereignty claims to me.
There was absolutely no religious basis for the Hundred Years war. They were fought for entirely political reasons, i.e. the entirely specious English claim to the French Throne and the Angevin attempt to increase their French empire. The amazing thing is not that the English eventually lost, but that it took almost 100 years for them to do so. The people of Angevin France despised the English for the most part as being absentee tenant landlords who only took of the fruit of the land without materially contributing to the betterment of the people.
