Description

On a Monday afternoon in October 1338, French and Genoese galleys swept into Southampton Water. By the following morning, much of the town was ash.

 

For nearly seven centuries, historians have told the same story: a town that panicked and fled, a defeat without a fight. They were wrong.

 

Drawing on evidence previous historians ignored or misread, it rebuilds the story from the ground up. Revealing a fierce, bloody struggle against a professional invasion force of thousands, and a young king desperate to blame someone for his own failures.

 

Vivid, combative, and written with the pleasure of a scholar who has spent six years hunting down the truth, this is history as it should be, not the tidy legend, but the messy, fascinating reality.
