A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE HUNDRED YEARS WAR: THE ENGLISH IN FRANCE, 1337-1453

Book ID/图书代码： 00530014B73929

English Summary/英文概要： For over a hundred years England repeatedly invaded France on the pretext that her kings had a right to the French throne. France was a large, unwieldy kingdom, England small and poor, but for the most part she dominated the war, sacking towns and castles, winning battles, including such glorious victories as Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt. France was devastated by crop burning, raiding, looting and murder. Ordinary soldiers made fortunes from ransom and plunder. Great houses were built with the spoils, some of which still adorn England today. The author argues that the ‘uneasy relationship’ between French and English may well have its origin in the Hundred Years War.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一百多年来英国多次以国王有权维护国王宝座为借口，而入侵法国。法国曾是一个地缘辽阔、未经开化的王国,英格兰弱小而贫瘠,但在大多数情况下女王以战为主,洗劫城镇和城堡,赢得战争，这其中就包括克雷西战役、普瓦捷战役和阿让库尔战役。法国的麦田遭到焚烧,平民遭到劫杀。普通士兵从赎金和掠夺中获得财富。大房子的建造便是战利品的结果,其中一些仍然点缀在今天的英格兰土地上。作者认为,法英之间的“历史宿愿”很可能起源于百年战争。.(Sandy)
