THE BATTLE OF POITIERS
My latest eBook follows on from my ‘Sluys’ and ‘Crecy’ tracing the progress of the Hundred Years War.
England's armies continue to win battles against the enemy across the channel, yet the French are no nearer to accepting England’s claims.
Edward III's eldest son, Edward of Woodstock, the Black Prince, who fought at Crecy at the age of sixteen and now an experienced and hardened soldier, embarks on another expedition to end the war.
The dramatic campaign climaxes in the great battle of Poitiers, where the French deploy an army three times the size of the Prince’s. But despite the discrepancy, English archers and steady infantry win the day.
The French king is captured and the French nobility slaughtered. France collapses into anarchy.
The legacy of the battle is the Treaty of London of 1358, but will it end the war?
