A longbowman's account of the battle of Crecy. Crude and simplistic in parts this is also a perfect way to teach about how divided things really were and how this was a turning point for England and in warfare.

Densely illustrated and holding nothing back, it's an interesting read, could be useful for educators, be prepared with a decent bibliography for afterwards, the only thing this is really lacking!
