Edward, the Black Prince, is one of the legendary figures
of English history. The first son of Edward III and an
outstanding military leader, he is famous for his decisive
victory at the Battle of Poitiers, and he is one of the most
charismatic characters of the Hundred Years' War. This
classic study focuses on his daring campaign against the
French in central and south western France in 1355-7. This
is one of the key texts on the Prince, and it will be
fascinating reading for anyone who is interested in medieval
warfare.
