Wow! The intro was history from the conqueror to Richard lionheart in England and late Carolingian to Capetian beginnings in France. Fun.
Ch 1 drew together the Auld Alliance, William Wallace at falkirk, English supremacy over Scotland (Stone of Scone) and Matins of Bruges/Battle of the Goldspurs as well as Longshanks/Phillipe Augustus gaining a solid focal point for me in history. Loving it so far!

While I’ve been eager to read this book since before it was published (a brand new history of the HYW just as I planned to tackle the period?) I was intimidated by its size (~600 pages) and figured it would be either solidly academic and incredibly dense (much like I assume about sumptions work only his is 5 volumes) or very military heavy. I’m pleased to say I’m really cruising along- a page turner if you will
