Primary sources for the Hundred Years War present the realities of
the medieval experience of warfare in England and in France. War's
impact on two societies, England and France, in the late middle
ages is fully explored through the evidence and commentary
presented here, showing how they reacted to the conflict between
them. The Hundred Years War forms the framework for the chosen
documents, all from the fourteenth and fifteenth century; extracts
show how men thought about war and how they faced up to these ideas
in practice; the problems of manpower; and the effects of the
military needs of the day on society. The importance of economic
motives for going to war is considered, together with the changing
methods used in fighting the war. Finally, the attempts at
peace-making are illustrated, showing how wardid not necessarily
end suddenly since its effects -social, economic and political -
were felt for many years after it was officially over. New
introduction, updated bibliography; originally published 1973.
CHRISTOPHER ALLMANDis Professor of Medieval History at the
