The Hundred Years War actually lasted 116 years.
Why it is true
The conflict between England and France began in 1337 and ended in 1453, totalling 116 years. The name is a later convention and does not reflect the exact duration. The period was not one of continuous fighting, but included long intervals of peace and truces.
