Description: A Brief History of the Hundred Years War by Desmond Seward Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description For over 100 years, England repeatedly invaded France on the pretext that her kings had a right to the French throne. Sewards account traces the changes that led to Frances final victory and brings to life all the intrigue of the last chivalric combats as they gave way modern warfare. Publisher Description For over a hundred years England repeatedly invaded France on the pretext that her kings had a right to the French throne. France was a large, unwieldy kingdom, England was small and poor, but for the most part she dominated the war, sacking towns and castles and winning battles - including such glorious victories as Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt, but then the English run of success began to fail, and in four short years she lost Normandy and finally her last stronghold in Guyenne. The protagonists of the Hundred Year War are among the most colourful in European history: for the English, Edward III, the Black Prince and Henry V, later immortalized by Shakespeare; for the French, the splendid but inept John II, who died a prisoner in London, Charles V, who very nearly overcame England and the enigmatic Charles VII, who did at last drive the English out. Author Biography Desmond Seward was born in Paris and educated at Ampleforth and St Catharines College, Cambridge. He is the author of many books, including The Monks of War, The Hundred Years War, The Wars of the Roses, and The Last White Rose.
