Description

On 26 August 1346, an outnumbered English army under King Edward III won a decisive victory over the French on the fields around the Forest of Crécy and changed the course of the Hundred Years War. In this groundbreaking study, author Michael Livingston draws on fresh research to show how nearly everything that has been written about this battle, one of the most famous in history, may be wrong. Crécy is a story of past and present, wherein a new history of the engagement unfolds through the use of archived manuscripts, satellite technologies and traditional fieldwork, revealing what was arguably the battle's greatest secret: the location of the fields where so many thousands died.
