About this product

Product Information

Divided Houses is a tale of contrasting fortunes. In the last decade of his reign, Edward III, a senile, pathetic symbol of England's past conquests, was condemned to see them overrun by the armies of his enemies. When he died, in 1377, he was succeeded by a vulnerable child, who was destined to grow into a neurotic and unstable adult presiding over a divided nation. Meanwhile France entered upon one of the most glittering periods of her medieval history, years of power and ceremony, astonishing artistic creativity and famous warriors making their reputations as far afield as Naples, Hungary and North Africa. Contemporaries in both countries believed that they were living through memorable times: times of great wickedness and great achievement, of collective mediocrity but intense personal heroism, of extremes of wealth and poverty, fortune and failure. At a distance of six centuries, as Johnathan Sumption skilfully and meticulously shows, it is possible to agree with all of these judgements.

A very rewarding read from an extraordinary writer and researcher.
The third in a four series analysis of the 100 years war. Johnathan Sumption, (now Lord Sumption), has created something very special. The input required to produce this body of work is frankly beyond my comprehension, but the results are stunning. Be ready though as this book, like the others is information and detail dense and so a certain amount of commitment is required to get the best out of it.
