Synopsis

A Note to Readers
This book tells a story of transition: the twilight of the medieval world and the dawn of the modern. Gunpowder artillery was not the only actor in this transformation, but it was a catalyst—reconfiguring battlefields, fortifications, and the very idea of war.
In these pages, you will find both meticulous accounts of sieges and battles, and reflections on their meaning. I have sought to write in a way that welcomes both the scholar and the interested general reader: rigorous in detail, but alive with narrative.
Where medieval sources disagree, I have noted the divergence; where modern historians debate, I have indicated the lines of argument. Inevitably, interpretation is woven through the evidence. I invite you, the reader, to weigh the facts, the chronicles, and the analysis, and to join in the ongoing conversation about how technology reshaped the course of the Hundred Years’ War.
