The Norman Conquest in the 11th century is one of the best known events in English history, yet the French attempts to invade England three hundred years later are largely ignored and misunderstood. In fact, French invaders landed on English soil more than 20 times in the second half of the 14th century, sometimes accompanied by allies from Castile, Monaco, Genoa, and Denmark. They were part of a carefully thought-out strategy led by the French King Charles V. The forces that landed were well trained soldiers and marine fighters answering to the French monarch. It had taken Charles V and his great admiral Jean de Vienne years to put together the ships, materiel, and skilled mariners that a successful landing required. Whole forests of ancient trees had been felled in the Seine Valley to build the fleet. The invasion was planned after the Battle of Poitiers in 1357, when France was engulfed by multiple crises, of which England was a prime cause: King Jean II was a prisoner in England alongside many of his supporters; there was popular rebellion in Paris; the Regent—future Charles V—was only a teenager; the aftermath of the Black Death had cost France perhaps half its population; the English were demanding huge ransoms and territories from the French; and warrior bandits—routiers—roamed France, supported by the English. In response, the Second French Invasion of England was not a single overwhelming event—like Napoleon’s invasion of Russia—but it resulted in civilian deaths, rape, looting and burning, military casualties, and economic disruption—which caused long-term consequences. This is the Anglo-French conflict that time forgot.

Thomas S.

Detailed review of a little known subject

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 28, 2023

Verified Purchase

This book covers a little known aspect of life in Southern England in the 100 year war period.
I am very pleased with it and I thank the author.

Little known history well told

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

Some of the editing is shocking and inexcusable in some parts of the book . When I saw that Odiham Castle (down the road from me) was stated as being in Berkshire I questioned the veracity of the book. However I was enjoying reading the book as the author writes in a captivating style and explains the events with clarity so I continued. Would highly recommend to anyone with a passion for medieval history.

Worst written history read since 1968

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 24, 2021

Verified Purchase

This author doesn't know the difference between a military raid and an invasion. He disparages the idea of piracy on he coasts. He should read Michael Connors John Hawley: Merchant, Mayor and Privateer; Dr. Appleby's Under the Bloody Flag; Susan Rose's books.
He says very little about the raids on the coast by the French. I had to search the book to count them.
Definitely not recommended
