Description
Simple and interesting, about the most complex medieval intrigues.
People who fought and died at Crecy, Poitiers, and Agincourt didn’t realize they were living in the Age of the Hundred Years’ War. Historians invented this war; for contemporaries, it was a continuous chain of endless conflicts between the French Capetians and the English Plantagenets. On the French coat of arms—lilies; on the English—leopards. Of course, it all began because of a woman.
In this war, reckless love, jealousy, betrayal, courage, miracles, and betrayal are tightly intertwined. The well-known Russian medieval scholar Natalia Ivanovna Basovskaya unfolds a three-hundred-year panorama of battles and diplomatic intrigues before the reader, reconstructing the images of the main characters—Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard the Lionheart, Charles the Wise, and Joan of Arc.
