Divided Houses: The Hundred Years War, Volume III
Jonathan Sumption
In the last decade of his reign, Edward III was condemned to see his conquests overrun by the armies of his enemies. When he died, in 1377, he was succeeded by a vulnerable child, who grew into an unstable adult presiding over a divided nation. Meanwhile, France entered one of the most glittering periods of her history.
Abstract: In the last decade of his reign Edward III, a senile, pathetic symbol of England's past conquests, was condemned to see them overrun by the armies of his enemies. When he died, in 1377, he was succeeded by a vulnerable child, who was destined to grow into a neurotic and unstable adult presiding over a divided nation.
