Poitiers 1356: The Capture of a King
David Nicolle
Opsrey's examination of the Battle of Poitiers, which was fought between
France and England in 1356. When Edward the Black Prince marched out of
Gascony in August 1356, his plan was to carry out a large-scale
destructive raid into the territory of the French King, John II. On 18
September, however, he was cornered south of Poitiers by a larger French
army, and was left with little option but to fight. The ensuing battle
proved an unmitigated disaster for the French. Their army was butchered
and the King himself captured. In this volume, Dr David Nicolle details a
campaign that enhanced the reputation of the Black Prince and led King
John to catastrophe.
