This book describes naval warfare during the opening phase of the
Hundred Years War, a vital period in the development of the early
Royal Navy, in which Edward III's government struggled to harness
English naval power in a dramatic battle for supremacy with their
French and Spanish adversaries. It shows how the escalating demands
of Edward's astonishing military ambitions led to an intense period
of evolution in the English navy and the growth of a culture of
naval specialism and professionalism. It addresses how this in turn
affected the livelihoods of England's mariners and coastal
communities. The book covers in detail the most important sea
battles of Edward III's reign - Sluys, Winchelsea and La Rochelle -
as well as raids and naval blockades. It highlights the systems by
which ships were brought into service and mariners recruited, and
explores how these were resisted by mariners and coastal
communities. It also tells the story of the range of personalities,
heroes and villains who influenced the development of the navy in
the reign of Edward III. GRAHAM CUSHWAY holds a PhD in Maritime
History from the University of Exeter.
