FRENCH ARMIES OF THE HUNDRED YEARS WAR 1337-1453


MEN-AT-ARMS

•    An unrivalled source of information on the organisation, uniforms and equipment

of the world’s military forces, past and present.

•    The series covers subjects as diverse as the Imperial Roman army and its enemies; the paratroopers and tank crews of our own day; and hundreds of other subjects between, over the whole world and morę than 5,000 years of history,

•    The popular 48-page format includes concise text packed with specific information, some 40 photographs, maps and diagrams, and eight full-colour plates of uniformed figures.


For Englishmen and Welshmen the Hundred Years War represents an important chapter in their ‘national myths’ - names such as Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt summon up an enduring image of victories gained by fearless knights and sturdy bowmen, set to the verbal musie of Shakespeare’s thrilling words. The reader is less likely to be informed about the impressive French recovery which saw English armies driven out of France by the mid-15th century, under the leadership of such remarkable figures as Bertrand du Guesclin and Joan of Arc. This fascinating analysis of the organisation, appearance and tactics of French armies covers a period marked by important changes.
