Evidence for the identity and careers of soldiers (usually
neglected by scholars in favour of tactics or hardware) in two
campaigns of the Hundred Years War. Little is known about the
soldiers who fought in the Hundred Years War, though much about
tactics and weapons. Adrian Bell's book redresses the balance: he
explores the 'military community' through focusing on the records
of the two royal expeditions led by Richard Fitzalan, earl of
Arundel, in 1387 and 1388, where the extensive surviving evidence
makes it possible to identify those who served on these
expeditions, and to follow their careers. These campaigns are not
only interesting for the wealth and concentration of materials
surviving on military organisation, but also because of the
political background against which the expeditions were undertaken,
which included the attack upon the favourites of the King in
Parliament by the Lords Appellant and the possible temporary
deposition of Richard II. Advances made in historical computing
techniques have made possible for the first time such detailed
analysisof the personnel of a royal army. ADRIAN R. BELL lectures
in history at the University of Reading.
