Acknowledgements

Much of this was written during a very happy year spent at the University of St Andrews, my thanks to all who made it so.

This has been a collaborative effort. Thanks to Kate for the illustrations and to Alec Green who drew the maps and talked me through some of the logistics of the battle and helped me clarify several issues. Andrew Midgely provided many of the photographs and Tweed told me what warmers want from history (usually more than they should have). Kris Towson helped a great deal with some technical issues and occasional supplies of very decent beer. April and Sally helped me drink it and more besides - for that and all the rest I thank them.

Chris Given-Wilson leant me a copy of his forthcoming book with Françoise Beriac on the prisoners taken at Poitiers for which I’m very thankful.

References have been kept to a minimum and readers are directed to the bibliography if they wish to examine the events of 1355–60 and of the Hundred Years War in more detail. My debt to those authors is clear.
