5.0 out of 5 stars In Days of Old..., 3 Jan 2003
By A Customer
A facsinating trawl through the greatest English Plantaganet Kings history..Easy to follow, despite some complex politics, due to the clear and concise writing...Also good is the inclusion is the the Chronicles of the Kings written at the time...
Lashings of blood-letting, murders, treachery, conquests etc etc..A part inspiration behind a lot of Tolkeins Lord of the Rings...

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book, 13 Mar 2003
By Mr A S Clarke (Romford, Essex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book is full of information on all aspects of the plantagenet dynasty from the magna carta to the black death. It features articles on topics ranging from everyday life, the kings life and other events of national importance. The pages are split in two, with the articles on the right, and the text of the chroniclers on the the left. The articles tend to focus on events mentioned in the chronicles, which makes the book easier to digest and very interesting. This book could go into more detail at places, but all in all a handy and interesting book for anyone studying, or with an interest in the age of chivalry.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very useful resource , 2 Mar 2009
This handy book gives near one unique access to historical chronicles, written by contemporaries, of the most important events in the reign of Kings Henry III- Edward III. Most of these sources are very difficult to get hold of, because of price, or other factors.

As well as being a useful source of info, they give an interesting insight into the mindset of the chroniclers, and the ideas which influenced them. A warning though, most are written with an aggresevely anti-scottish, and anti- french bias. Whilst at the same time portaying the Kings (in particular Edward 1st and 3rd) as virtual saints.
Though i suppose, in some ways this was inevitable, as it was almost the medieval english version of political correctness.

As well as the chronicles themselves, there are also essays written on the relevant subjects and periods written by the editors. These are great, as they give further detail and meaning to the hostory itself, as well as a rather more modern and fairer perspective of certain events.
