Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. The book has plans of five small battles after Agincourt, and some useful information about the well organized army that Henry V created and its slow decline in France. Nobles went back to England to meddle in the minority of Henry VI, and didn't come back. Thus the Army was mostly professional, non-aristocratic soldiers, and the Norman aristocracy that held to the English interest. Eight plates, and sound text. A useful visual supplement to Jonathan Sumpton's grander history, or the Chronicles of Monstrelet. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

This book details the English army that Henry V led back into France in 1417 to conquer Normandy and again take the war to the French. In 1422 Henry died, and was succeeded by the nine-month-old Henry VI: by 1429 English fortunes were in decline, but more than 20 years of warfare would pass before the English were driven from France. This period of the war is often ignored in preference to the battles of Crécy, Poitiers and Agincourt but in fact is the decisive phase of the conflict. This title examines the army that fought these campaigns in detail looking at its composition, organisation, equipment and weaponry. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
