The ascent of the Plantagenets to the English throne in 1154 led to
the beginning of a new historical phase in the British Isles, which
was marked by numerous wars that were fought between the Kingdom of
England and the 'Celtic nations' of Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
During the rule of the Norman kings, the English armies had not
completed the conquest of Wales and had established only some
footholds in Ireland; Scotland was still independent and was ready
to contest the Plantagenets' possession of northern England. As a
result of this situation, the two centuries between the rise of the
new dynasty and the beginning of the Hundred Years' War were
characterized by a series of wars that ravaged feudal England.
Gabriele Esposito covers all these conflicts, following the
campaigns of Richard the Lionheart as well as those of his younger
brother who was defeated on the continent at the large Battle of
Bouvines; the conquest of Wales is analysed in detail, as well as
the First Scottish War of Independence that saw William Wallace
playing a prominent role. The organization and equipment of all the
troop types taken into account is described in full detail and
lavishly illustrated with colour images of reenactors, bringing
these forces to life.
