The Black Death! England has won the war with France but the disease which rampages through the land takes both rich and poor, warrior and worker. John Hawkwood and his two companions spend the winter in the north. It is in the spring that he begins to mould his company into a fighting force, and he serves the Baron Mortimer on the Welsh Border. There his men learn to fight as one and John Hawkwood begins the change from archer to man at arms. When the King and the Black Prince commission him to fight for them, first in an action against the Castilian pirates and then on a chevauchée through Gascony, he learns the skill of leadership.

A knight is born. Great story about the adventures of John Hawkwood becoming Sir John. Situated during the 100 years war between England and France. Reminds me a lot of David Gilman Master of War series, but that is mainly because this is situated in the same period. It would be great to see John Hawkwood and Thomas Blackstone fighting the French together!
