Divided Houses is a tale of contrasting fortunes. In the last
decade of his reign Edward III, a senile, pathetic symbol of
England's past conquests, was condemned to see them overrun by the
armies of his enemies. When he died, in 1377, he was succeeded by a
vulnerable child, who was destined to grow into a neurotic and
unstable adult presiding over a divided nation. Meanwhile France
entered upon one of the most glittering periods of her medieval
history, years of power and ceremony, astonishing artistic
creativity and famous warriors making their reputations as far
afield as Naples, Hungary and North Africa. Contemporaries in both
countries believed that they were living through memorable times:
times of great wickedness and great achievement, of collective
mediocrity but intense personal heroism, of extremes of wealth and
poverty, fortune and failure. At a distance of six centuries, as
Jonathan Sumption skilfully and meticulously shows, it is possible
to agree with all of these judgments.
