A fresh introduction to the political history of late medieval France duing the turbulent period of the Hundred Years' War, taking into account the social, economic and religious contexts. Graeme Small considers not just the monarchy but also prelates, noble networks and the emerging municipalities in this new analysis.

'A very good book which deals with its subject in a clear, thorough, well-organized, and distinctive manner.' - Jonathan Boulton, University of Notre Dame, USA
