'Compulsively readable' (History), this is the first volume in a
series that details the long and violent endeavour of the English
to dismember Europe's strongest state, a succession of wars that is
one of the seminal chapters in European history. Beginning with the
funeral of Charles IV of France in 1328, it follows the Hundred
Years War up to the surrender of Calais in 1347. It traces the
early humiliations and triumphs of Edward III: the campaigns of
Sluys, Crecy and Calais, which first made his name as a war leader
and the reputation of his subjects as the most brutally effective
warriors of their time. Trial by Battle is an account of the events
of a pivotal period in both French and British history, from
Wolfson History Prize-winning author and historian Jonathan
Sumption. "A new and immensely impressive history of the war."
(Daily Telegraph).
