Sample Book Insights:

#1 In the mid-fourteenth century, the Channel was a dangerous stretch of water. French ships patrolled the sea, attacking English coastal towns in an attempt to destroy the lucrative wool trade between England and Flanders. In 1340, England and France were three years into a political, dynastic and territorial struggle known as the Hundred Years War.

#2 The Battle of Sluys was a victory for Edward III, as he had prevailed in one of the largest and most crucial naval battles of the Hundred Years War. It was so deeply etched into Edward III’s self-image that it was commemorated on a valuable gold noble.

#3 The Battle of Sluys was a huge victory for the King of England, Edward III, and his wife, Philippa of Hainault, was safely delivered a baby boy named John Plantagenet. 13 years before the birth of John, his grandfather King Edward II was murdered.

#4 The Hundred Years War was between England and France, and it was largely due to the English king’s forceful and ambitious nature. The dispute over Gascony was a fraction of what had once been a Plantagenet domain in France, and it was extremely lucrative and produced the most popular wine in England.
