Opis

This text is a survey that re-creates the vigour of the turbulent epoch stretching from 1152 to 1453. The Hundred Years War was the longest war in European history, a war which brought fundamental change in two medieval socities, and ushered in the Renaissance. The story of the conflict, its causes, battles, political struggles and consequences are told with colour and detail. This revised edition brings the scholarship on the conflict up to date and adds a new postscript examining the armies of the era.
