Beskrivelse

A major new biography of the Black Prince.

In 1346, at the age of sixteen, he won his spurs at Crécy; nine years later he conducted a brutal raid across Languedoc; in 1356 he captured the king of France at Poitiers; as lord of Aquitaine he ruled a vast swathe of southwestern France. He was Edward of Woodstock, eldest son of Edward III, but better known to posterity as ‘the Black Prince’. Michael Jones tells the remarkable story of a great warrior-prince – and paints an unforgettable portrait of warfare and chivalry in the late Middle Ages.

“Pacy, vivid and extremely readable... its extensive research and questioning approach also make it an important work for specialists to consult.” TLS

“It is not often that a work of medieval history provokes a news story in the Daily Mail.” THE OLDIE

"Jones's historical chapters are measured, reasonable and elegantly written." SUNDAY TIMES on THE KING'S GRAVE

“This book will undoubtedly become the first port of call for anyone interested in the Black Prince for years to come.” ROYAL STUDIES JOURNAL
