152. THE BLACK PRINCE
Michael Jones ( 2018 )
In 1346, at the age of 16, he helped defeat the French at Crécy; ten years later he captured the King of France at Poitiers. Michael Jones illuminates the dramatic story of ‘the Black Prince’, the eldest son and heir of Edward III of England. Using the Prince’s own letters, he paints a memorable portrait of warfare and society in the tumultuous fourteenth century.
