Winner of the Society for Military History Distinguished Book Award
2017 This casebook is the most extensive collection of documents
ever assembled for the study of one of the famous battles in
history. Here we see the Battle of Crecy across the cultural
landscape of Europe - through chronicles and letters, through poems
and prophecies, through sermons and laments - enabling us to
understand the events of 26 August 1346 like never before. Together
with other experts, the editors have gathered, edited, and
translated over 80 fourteenth-century sources concerning this
fascinating and important conflict - sources from Bohemia to
France, from Italy to Wales - many here printed or translated for
the first time. Original essays provide historical context and
literary background to help interpret the battle in light of this
new material. Among the discoveries: despite its fame, the location
of the battle has been misidentified for centuries, and the actions
of the men on both sides of the bloodied field have been completely
misunderstood. This unparalleled accumulation of material means
that the Battle of Crecy will never be seen in the same way again.
