Jonathan Sumption writes medieval history and legal or political commentary, best known for his multi-volume history of the Hundred Years War. Beginning with Trial by Battle, the series follows the conflict through diplomacy, dynastic claims, campaigns, finance and the political structures of France and England. Later volumes continue across the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries on a scale closer to archival narrative than popular overview. Sumption's prose is detailed, analytical and expansive, with politics and logistics as important as battles. His work fits medieval history, Hundred Years War studies, European political history and military history. Read more Less
