You may remember I suggested you read “The Black Prince’s Expedition” and you replied saying you would. Hope you found a copy and enjoyed the fantastic research by the late HJ Hewitt. Now that I’ve read your Azincourt I still think that the Black Princes’ exploits out perform Henry V. Don’t forget his 1355/6 expedition was 12 months in France and led a similarly trapped starving army to victory against overwhelming odds at Poitiers AND at the same time captured the French King and his son hundreds of miles from safety at Bordeaux. Not to mention winning his spurs earlier at Crecy! I am sure Hewitt will have whetted your appetite to write about the Languedoc campaign culminating at Poitiers. I hope you do because I would certainly like to read your version. Who knows perhaps Melisande’s grandfather could make an appearance!
