Documenting Warfare
Insights from English and French writers on one of the most significant
armed conflicts of the Middle AgesDocumentary sources for the Hundred Years War are many and
varied, yet given the number that exist, comparatively few have been published, and even
fewer translated. The contributors to this volume, celebrating the work of Professor Anne
Curry, provide a wide selection of these sources, edited and translated, and accompanied
with detailed analysis and commentaries, by experts in the field. They include contracts,
inventories, letters of grace, depositions and wills, and shed new light across a range of
themes, from recruitment, violence, ransoms and peace, to gunpowder, shipping, dress, and
stray horses. An introductory essay gives a wider perspective on the sources for the Hundred
Years War, taking a comparative view from both sides of the Channel.Chapter 8 is available
