Description
The Hundred Years War: Trial by Battle by Jonathan Sumption In the late 14th century, England and France were locked in a bitter struggle that would last for a century. As the fortunes of the two nations ebbed and flowed, their people lived through times of great achievement and great wickedness. This was a period of intense personal heroism, extremes of wealth and poverty, and collective mediocrity. Yet, despite the challenges, both countries experienced a glittering period of medieval history, marked by power, ceremony, and artistic creativity. From a modern perspective, it is possible to agree with the judgments of contemporaries in both countries. Jonathan Sumption's meticulously researched book provides a nuanced and balanced account of this pivotal period in European history. By examining the experiences of both England and France, Sumption sheds light on the complexities and contradictions of medieval society. Through a detailed analysis of the Hundred Years War, Sumption offers a compelling and insightful exploration of one of the most significant conflicts of the Middle Ages.
