Description

Discover the legendary life of one of France's greatest military leaders with The Song of Bertrand du Guesclin. Published by Boydell Press, this volume provides the first English translation of Cuvelier's epic poem. It tells the remarkable story of a man who rose from humble beginnings as the son of a minor Breton noble to become the Constable of France. As a primary architect of the recovery of France during the Hundred Years War, Bertrand du Guesclin's achievements are as significant as those of Joan of Arc. This book follows his rise through the ranks in the 1360s and 1370s, leading campaigns from Brittany to Castile. Readers of medieval history and European literature will find a detailed account of his journey to the supreme military position that outranked even the princes of the blood royal. This translation makes a vital piece of French historical literature accessible to English-speaking readers interested in the Middle Ages.
