Description:The Hundred Years War began when Edward III of England could no longer stifle his burning ambition to become King of France. Haunted by the example of his weak, ineffective father who had met such a barbarous death at the hands of his mother Queen Isabella and her paramour Roger Mortimer, Edward shook off the dominance of this unholy pair when he was eighteen and became the most renowned knight in Christendom. Together with his eldest son, the famous Black Prince, Edward brought France to the point of complete surrender. At Crecy and at Poitiers the flower of the French nobility were slain and the King of France himself fell prisoner to the English. But just when it seemed that the crown of France was within his grasp Edward let slip his golden opportunity. He began to age prematurely, to gorge himself at table and to listen to the bad advice of his scheming mistress Alice Perrers. The Lion's teeth were drawn and the Lily of France bloomed again.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
