Description: A landmark biography of the charismatic king beloved of fourteenth-century England
Review Quotes: "Part of the problem is that Edward III's respect for the conventional images of kingship has obscured his personality, making him seem like a cardboard cut out. Perhaps the greatest merit of Mark Ormrod's magnificent new biography, is that it penetrates behind this image.....Ormrod is at his best in describing the personality of the King, and his impact on English political society."--Jonathan Sumpton, Literary Review--Jonathan Sumpton "Literary Review" (10/1/2011 12:00:00 AM)
