This meticulously researched account reveals the French invasions led by King Charles V and Admiral Jean de Vienne, often overshadowed by the Norman Conquest.

This is a must-read for enthusiasts of military history, medieval warfare, and those seeking a fresh perspective on the Hundred Years' War.
