| 內容簡介： |
Author of the best-selling AGINCOURT, Juliet Barker now tells
the equally remarkable, but largely forgotten, story of the
dramatic years when England ruled France at the point of a sword.
Henry V''s second invasion of France in 1417 launched a campaign
that would put the crown of France on an English head. Only the
miraculous appearance of a visionary peasant girl - Joan of Arc -
would halt the English advance. Yet despite her victories, her
influence was short-lived: Henry VI had his coronation in Paris six
months after her death and his kingdom endured for another twenty
years. When he came of age he was not the leader his father had
been. It was the dauphin, whom Joan had crowned Charles VII, who
would finally drive the English out of France. Supremely evocative
and brilliantly told, this is narrative history at its most
colourful and compelling - the true story of those who fought for
an English kingdom of France.
