The "no photo" pictures don't actually tell us who the authors are, alas. (One reason I personally prefer the text links.)
You might check out Mark Ormrod's biography Edward III. Make sure you get this one and not one of Ormrod's earlier books about Edward III, which are less comprehensive.
I haven't heard of that one but I will most certainly check it out! Thanks
Hi Frank,This may hold some useful text for you - I've not read it (yet):
by J. E. M. BenhamAlso this which comes from the excellent New Oxford History of England:
by Michael PrestwichHope this helps.
I want to read that book by Desmond Seward and his other one Brief History of wars of the roses. Heard he's got one coming on Richard III.
Ian Mortimer's book on Edward III should be worth a scan.

His biograhy of Roger Mortimer is not bad either
