3.0 out of 5 stars Accessible introduction to life of a great king., January 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Life and Times of Henry V (Kings and Queens of England) (Hardcover)

A well illustrated general introduction to the life of a great medieval king and his campaigns in Wales and northern France. Examines the battle of Agincourt -- including material on the nature of combined arms warfare in the high middle ages -- and the events leading to the Treaty of Troyes. The author is careful to place dynastic struggles in context and his inclusion of a detailed family tree for the house of Plantagenet is a welcome addition.
