What was the familial relationship between Edward III and Philip VI?

Answer 1

Here's the reference to Philip VI. If you can draw the connection between the two, you're better than I am.

Answer 2

They were cousins, related through Edward's mother, Isabella.

Isabella was the daughter of Philip IV. Philip IV was the son of Philip III. Thus, Edward is Philip III's great grandson.

Charles of Valois was the third son of Philip III, and Philip VI was Charles' son, making Philip VI the grandson of Philip III.

Thus, Isabella and Charles were first cousins (shared grandfather), and Edward would be Philip's first cousin, once removed. (Removed is used to note a difference in generations)

Per French Law, the Salic Law meant that the family line through a female could not inherit, thus Edward III was not a valid descendant of Philip III for purposes of inheriting the crown.
