Sir Charles Oman's England and the Hundred Years' War (1327-1485) by Charles William Oman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The Hundred Years' War was a series of conflicts waged from 1337 to 1453 by the House of Plantagenet, rulers of the Kingdom of England, against the House of Valois, rulers of the Kingdom of France, over the succession of the French throne. Each side drew many allies into the war. It was one of the most notable conflicts of the Middle Ages, in which five generations of kings from two rival dynasties fought for the throne of the largest kingdom in Western Europe. The war marked both the height of chivalry and its subsequent decline, and the development of strong national identities in both countries. This work by Oman that formed part of the Oxford Manuals of English History Series is both succinct and scholarly. | Sir Charles Oman's England and the Hundred Years' War (1327-1485) by Charles William Oman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
