Before the reader, perhaps the best book about the centenary war is a large -scale military clash of the two monarchies of the mature Middle Ages - France and England. The centennial war is an unusually complex and multi -layered event: starting with the claims to the French throne of two relatives of the last king of France, Philip Valois and Edward Plantagenet, the centenary war gradually reborn into the national clash of the two peoples, it was no coincidence that it was with this war that the origin of national self -awareness is associated with this war. . After the first and inexplicable, as it seemed then, the defeats of the French chivalry in the fields of the battle of the Crossia and Poitiers, the tactics and strategy of the war changed: knightly valors gave way to the desire to achieve the final result - victory over the enemy at all costs. At the last stage of the Hundred Years War, the first permanent army arose in France. J. Favier sets out the development of hostilities in detail, gives colorful and vivid descriptions of large and small battles, and explores the role of the evolution of weapons.
The war had a huge impact not only on the field of military art and was not limited to battlefields. J. Favier managed to brilliantly show how the nobles, the clergy, the townspeople and the peasants perceived this war, felt its approach, what role they played in it. The author inscribed the history of war in the wide canvas of the political, economic, social and cultural life of medieval Europe. Among other things, some chapters of the book are devoted to the life and death of people in this era, an epidemic of the black plague, the crisis of the lordic structure, the reform of the church, etc. For a wide range of readers
