Un libro unico e speciale sulla guerra dei Cent'anni che, oltre a ripercorrere gli eventi storici che hanno caratterizzato il periodo, presenta inedite illustrazioni a tema e una particolare sezione storica romanzata che rende la lettura sicuramente piacevole ed interessante... Se nel Medioevo spesso papi e monarchi scatenarono conflitti cruenti in nome di Cristo o in difesa della Croce, la guerra dei Cent'anni rappresenta il caso unico di un popolo, quello francese che invoca Dio e si mobilita per liberare la propria terra.
Il miracolo di una contadina analfabeta che ne interpreta il sentimento e rovescia le sorti della guerra si inserisce nella vera storia del generale che le fu accanto per amore.
Battaglie, uniformi, armi, strategie, soprattutto i tanti personaggi che, negli opposti schieramenti, contribuirono a cambiare la storia in un volume in cui scoprirete come e perché la Francia divenne monarchia nazionale e l'Inghilterra assurse a potenza sui mari, abbandonando ogni ambizione espansionistica sul continente. A unique and special book about the famous Hundred Years War which, in addition to retracing the historical events that characterized the period, presents unpublished illustrations and a particular fictional historical section that makes reading certainly enjoyable and interesting... If in the Middle Ages popes and monarchs often unleashed bloody conflicts in the name of Christ or in defense of the Cross, the Hundred Years War represents the unique case of a people, the French one who invoked God and mobilized to free their land.
The miracle of an illiterate peasant woman who interprets her sentiment and reverses the fate of the war is part of the true story of the general who was next to her out of love.
Battles, uniforms, weapons, strategies, especially the many characters who, on the opposite sides, helped to change history in a volume in which you will discover how and why France became a national monarchy and England rose to power over the seas, abandoning all expansionist ambition on the continent.
