Description
The Hundred Years War: Trial by battle by Jonathan Sumption This is the first volume in a series that explores one of the most significant conflicts in European history. Beginning with the funeral of Charles IV of France in 1328, it follows the Hundred Years War up to the surrender of Calais in 1347. The early years of this long and violent endeavour are marked by both humiliation and triumph for those involved. The campaigns of Sluys, Crecy and Calais played a significant role in shaping the reputation of Edward III as a war leader and that of his subjects as skilled warriors. These events are examined in detail, providing insight into the military tactics and strategies employed during this period. Through its account of these early years of the Hundred Years War, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between England, France and other European powers at the time.
