Fields of Glory

1346, France. King Edward III is restless. Despite earlier victories the French crown remains intact. Determined to bring France under his own rule, Edward has devised a new plan of attack - one which he believes will finally bring the French army to its knees: a final, cataclysmic battle. . . Berenger Fripper, Vintener of a pox-ridden mob of sixteen who make up the Vintaine of Sir John de Sully, storms the beaches of Normandy to bring victory to their king. But the French are nowhere to be seen. . . And so Berenger leads his Vintaine through France and onward to battle - the Battle of Crécy - one which will both bond and break his men and be a decisive turning point in the Hundred Years' War.
