This is the fourth volume of a five-volume study on the history of the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453). Although this protracted conflict is primarily associated with the kingdoms of France and England, it was in fact a pan-European conflict. The author takes this far-reaching dimension into account with his detailed account.
This book tells the story of the destruction of France by the madness of its king and the greed and violence of his family. In the early fifteenth century, France had gone from being the strongest and most populous nation state of medieval Europe to suffering a complete internal collapse and a partial conquest by a foreign power. It had never happened before in the country's history - and it would not happen again until 1940. Into the void left by this domestic catastrophe, strode one of the most remarkable rulers of the age, Henry V of England, the victor of Agincourt, who conquered much of northern France before dying at the age of thirty-six, just two months before he would have become King of France.
