The Crusade of 1383, known as that of the Bishop of Norwich, is a historical account of the events surrounding the failed crusade led by Henry le Despenser, the Bishop of Norwich, in 1383. Written by George M. Wrong and published in 1892, the book provides a detailed analysis of the political and religious climate in England at the time, as well as the factors that led to the outbreak of the crusade. The book begins by setting the stage for the crusade, describing the tensions between England and France, as well as the growing power of the church and the influence of the papacy. It then delves into the life and career of Henry le Despenser, exploring his motivations for leading the crusade and the support he received from various factions in England. The bulk of the book is dedicated to the events of the crusade itself, including the recruitment of soldiers, the journey to France, and the battles that took place. Wrong provides vivid descriptions of the fighting, as well as the political maneuvering that took place among the various factions involved. In the end, the crusade was a failure, and Wrong explores the reasons why. He examines the role of the English government in supporting the crusade, as well as the impact of the Black Death and other factors that contributed to its downfall. Overall, The Crusade of 1383, known as that of the Bishop of Norwich, is a comprehensive and engaging account of a little-known event in English history. It provides valuable insights into the political and religious climate of the time, as well as the motivations and actions of the key players involved.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
