This comparison with the battle of Crécy offers valuable insights into greater topics such as chivalry and warfare, which were essential to high politics in fourteenth-century Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince the first edition of this book was published 15 years ago, scholarship and chivalric biography have advanced significantly.
