Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Dwight Sedgwick, widely known for his biographies of LaFayette, Cortez, Henry of Navarre, and Alfred de Musset, has here chosen for his subject Edward, the Black Prince. Richard Coeur de Lion stepped into the sunlight in "Ivanhoe" and "The Talisman." Shakespeare took Henry the Fifth as the exemplar of English manhood. To the third great martial hero of the royal house of England fate has been less kind. Great literature has passed him by. This could hardly have been from lack of appreciation. In England the name of the Black Prince has always been renowned. Perhaps poets and dramatists could not find in his simple straighforwardness such traits of passion, revenge, or treachery as would befit their tempestuous verse. But his forthright story, in which appear alike the pageantry and inequality of chivalry, the gallant deeds and the deep tragedy of the Hundred Years' War, is gloriously interesting material for biography. Mr. Sedgwick is fortunate in his subject and the Black Prince, after six centuries, fortunate in his biographer. Mr. Sedgwick has gone to the contemporary chroniclers, Froissart, the Herald Chandos, Geoffrey Baker, Cuvelier and others. Where the original sources are in conflict he is skillful in reconciling them. His study of Crécy and Poitiers makes much more clear what happened at those extraordinary and obscure battles. His choice of material preserves the colors, bright and dark, of a transition age, and the flashing figure of the gallant Prince stands out brilliantly. The Black Prince is a typical Englishman, a bulldog for tenacity, the flower of the world's chivalry, in his generosity, his arrogance, and his extravagance, true to his age. Around him are a host of interesting figures: his father, Edward III; his mother, Philippa, who begged for the lives of the burghers of Calais; his wife, the truly fair "Fair Maid of Kent," and her romantic story. His lieutenants, members with him of the newly-founded Order of the Garter, patterned themselves after King Arthur's Knights but served a very practical purpose. There were bright spirits like Geoffrey Chaucer, Froissart, William of Wykeham, John Wyclif, and, from the East, the Black Death, greatest conqueror of all. These are the forty-six years of a strenuous life in a turbulent age in the "April of Patriotism," amid the battles, sieges, plundering of the Hundred Years' War. "With the Black Prince's death died the hope of Englishmen," not soon to be born again. When it was reborn, it was the fulfillment of his life, for Edward the Black Prince, is one of the few martial heroes who have made England England. - Jacket flap.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author has retraced on foot the routes taken by the Black Prince during the French campaigns of 1355-1356, enabling him to provide an entirely new dimension to the events. In 1355 the Black Prince took an army to Bordeaux and embarked on two chevauchées (mounted military expeditions, generally characterised by the devastation of the surrounding towns and countryside), which culminated in hisdecisive victory over King Jean II of France at Poitiers the following year. Using the recorded itineraries as his starting point, the author of this book walked more than 1,300 miles across France, retracing the routes of the armies in search of a greater understanding of the Black Prince's expedition. He followed the 1355 chevauchée from Bordeaux to the Mediterranean and back, and that for 1356 from Aquitaine to the Loire, to the battlefield at Poitiers, and back again to Bordeaux. Drawing on his findings on the ground, a wide range of documentary sources, and the work of local historians, many of whom the author met on his travels, the book provides a unique perspective on the Black Prince's chevauchées of 1355 and 1356 and the battle of Poitiers, one of the greatest English triumphs of the Hundred Years War, demonstrating in particular the impact of the landscape on the campaigns. Peter Hoskins is a former Royal Air Force pilot, now living in France. He combines his interest in exploration of his adopted country with his research into the Hundred Years War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of Medieval military leadership offers a critical comparison of two great rivals of the Hundred Year War. Known to history as The Black Prince, Edward of Woodstock led the English army to victory at the Battle of Poitiers against the French King Jean II. With an illuminating analysis of these fourteenth century commanders, historian Peter Hoskins examines the importance of leadership, strategic vision, and tactical skill in medieval warfare. Paying close attention to their strengths and weaknesses as soldiers, both on campaign and on the battlefield, Hoskins also considers their contrasting characters and backgrounds as well as the military traditions of their time. The Black Prince was one of the most admired generals of his generation: a charismatic leader, decisive commander, and shrewd tactician and strategist. In contrast King Jean was impulsive, driven more by pride than by strategic priorities. When he was put to the ultimate test at Poitiers, Jean lost control of his army. Meanwhile, the Black Prince took the initiative personally to secure victory against the odds. Peter Hoskins analyses the leadership qualities of the prince and the king according to the principles of war enunciated by Sun Tzu and Vegetius as well as the modern principles of war of the United Kingdom armed forces. He gives readers a fascinating insight into the nature of command and the conduct of war in the Middle Ages.
