Inhaltsangabe

The Hundred Years War embraced warfare in all aspects, from the grand set pieces of Crecy and Agincourt to the pillaged lands of the dispossessed population. What makes this book different from previous studies emphasising the great battles is its use of less familiar evidence - such as administrative records, landscape archeology - to gain a truer picture of the realities of medieval warfare. From a general review of battle tactics, the book turns to examine (at points enlisting computer analysis) a number of issues: the composition of the English army, the management of affairs in Aquitaine, the response in England at large to the war and the consequent propaganda and hardship, and the impact of warfare on local communities. Close study of surviving artefacts - weapons, fortifications - also allows realistic assessments of military and naval experiences. Contributors: MATTHEW BENNETT, ANDREW AYTON,ANNE CURRY, MALCOLM VALE, MARK ORMROD, MICHAEL JONES, JOHN KENYON, ROBERT HARDY, IAN FRIELL, BRIAN KEMP.
