Publisher's Synopsis
Over six million British holidaymakers visit France every year, and each time while visiting cathedrals, small towns, ancient fortresses and spotting signs to battlefields - they will be reminded of links between England and France over six hundred years ago when the crown of England had a claim to French territory. It erupted in a series of battles lasting as long as a century and known as 'The Hundred Years War'.This unique book will act both as a guide to the most important sites of the areas rich in relics and reminders of the medieval English invasions, and will also explain the background history to the conflict and its playing out. Illustrated with maps and battle plans and photographs, it gives full descriptions of the major places of interest that can be seen today.
