Inhaltsangabe

It was not called the Hundred Years War at first, of course, but still it was a grand canvas on which the chroniclers could paint their accounts of classic set battles such as CrTcy and Agincourt in vivid colors and images of heroism by their aristocratic audiences. These dozen essays, from a November 1991 conference of professional historians and lay enthusiasts at Oxford, look at more mundane aspects of the conflict that England and France dragged out between 1339 and 1453. Among them are the composition of the English army, the response to the war in England, the management of affairs in Aquitaine and the Gascon reaction, propaganda and finances, and the impact of warfare on local communities.
