About this listen

From 1337 to 1453 England repeatedly invaded France on the pretext that her kings had a right to the French throne. Though it was a small, poor country, England for most of those "100 years" won the battles, sacked the towns and castles, and dominated the war.

The protagonists of the Hundred Years War are among the most colorful in European history: Edward III, the Black Prince; Henry V, who was later immortalized by Shakespeare; 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 at last drove the English out.

Desmond Seward's critically acclaimed account of the Hundred Years War brings to life all of the intrigue, beauty, and royal to-the-death-fighting of that legendary century-long conflict.

British Point of View. Informative and well written although (just like the title implies) very one sided in its telling of the conflict.

Overall it's decent political history that heavily and i do mena heavily weighted on the english side. it is however 10 or 15 years behind on the military history and military technology of the period. Especially in regards to the longbow and crossbow and anytime these are mentioned its best to ignore what is being said

Decent enough english history, bad military histor
