Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This captivating account chronicles the lives of the seven English kings named Edward, and the era of profound change and development under their rule. The first Edward, Eleanor's son and husband, epitomizes the transition from medieval chivalry to early modernity. His reign saw the emergence of modern systems of law, Parliament, and warfare. Eleanor, his beloved companion, left an enduring legacy through the Eleanor Crosses erected to mark her final journey.

The Black Prince's heroics at Crà cy and Poitiers contrast with his tragic demise; Edward IV's usurpation of the throne highlights the fragility of royal power.
