The acclaimed Penguin Monarchs series: short, fresh, expert
accounts of England's rulers - now in paperback Edward III ruled
England for fifty years. He was a paragon of kingship in the eyes
of his contemporaries, the perfect king in those of later
generations. Venerated as the victor of Sluys and Crecy and the
founder of the Order of the Garter, he was regarded with awe even
by his enemies. But he lived too long, and was ultimately condemned
to see thirty years of conquests reversed in less than five. In
this gripping new account of Edward III's rise and fall, Jonathan
Sumption introduces us to a feted king who ended his life a heroic
failure. Jonathan Sumption is a former history fellow of Magdalen
College Oxford. He is the author of Pilgrimage and The Albigensian
Crusade, as well as the first four volumes in his celebrated
history of the Hundred Years War, Trial by Battle, Trial by Fire,
Divided Houses and Cursed Kings. He was awarded the 2009 Wolfson
History Prize for Divided Houses.
