ISBN:  1841196789 9781841196787 Alternate title:  Hundred Years War Edition:  Rev. ed. Description:  296 p. : ill., maps ; 20 cm. Notes:  Rev. ed. of: The Hundred Years War. 1978. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. [275]-282) and index. Summary:  "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. 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. Desmond Seward's account traces the changes that led to France's final victory and brings to life all the intrigue and colour of the last chivalric combats as they gave way to a more brutal modern warfare."--From publisher.
