Produktbeschreibung
When two kings disagreed, the outcome was war. King Edward III of England and King Philip VI of France dragged allies from across Europe into their fight for the throne of France. The Hundred Years War shattered economies and lives, creating heroes and villains whilst shaping the identity of both nations. It was a war so desperate that the English pawned the crown jewels while the French virtually bankrupted themselves to pay a king's ransom. Featuring revolts, murders, famines, crusades, royal intrigues and much more, Dan Moorhouse goes beyond the big battles to tell the tale of these tumultuous times. In 'On This Day in the Hundred Years War' historian Dan Moorhouse uses contemporary evidence to bring to life the events of the period. Famous battles and personalities feature alongside revolts, assassinations, plots, everyday life plus even the Crown Jewels of England being handed over to moneylenders. By utilising this format of an event linked to each day of the year an interesting overview of the period is provided. Being bitesized in nature makes it readily accessible while still offering a different perspective for the more knowledgeable reader.
