"The status of prisoners of war was firmly rooted in the practice of ransoming in the Middle Ages. By the opening stages of the Hundred Years War, ransoming had become widespread among the knightly community, and the crown had already begun to exercise tighter control over the practice of war. The resulting tensions between public and private interests over ransoms and prisoners of war were apparent. Historians have long emphasised the significance of the French and English crowns' interference in the issue of prisoners of war, but this original and stimulating study questions whether they have been too influenced by the state-centred nature of most surviving sources. Based on extensive archival research, this book tests customs, laws and theory against the individual experiences of captors and prisoners during the Hundred Years War, to evoke their world in all its complexity"--

Rond 1372 kwam op het luisterrijke kasteel Santpoort Jan van Brederode ter wereld in de meest gezegende omstandigheden. Een kleine veertig jaar later sneuvelde hij roemloos, als ridderlijke huurling, in de fameuze Slag bij Azincourt. Nobel streven reconstrueert, als een historische detective, de loop van dit bizarre leven tot in verbluffende details.Hoe Jan tot tweemaal toe met een gigantisch Hollands leger de Zuiderzee overstak voor oorlog tegen Friesland. Hoe hij naar Ierland reisde om in een onderaardse grot het helse vagevuur van Sint Patricius te voelen. Zijn jaren in het klooster, waarin hij een sprankelende Middelnederlandse tekst schreef. Zijn pogingen om de gigantische erfenis van zijn echtgenote te verwerven, en hoe hij daarvoor zelfs deze Johanna uit haar eigen klooster ontvoerde... En hoe zijn naam door heel Europa roemrucht zou worden: tot in Parijs, waar men college gaf over zijn geval, en tot aan de Engelse koning Henry V.Frits van Oostrom heeft de geschiedenis van Jan van Brederode, en heel de rijke wereld daaromheen, virtuoos gereconstrueerd en vervat in een meeslepend verhaal.

This volume, the first of a two-volume set, is the work of fourteen European and American scholars and focuses on the wider aspects of the Hundred Years. These essays range far afield from the traditional heartlands of Hundred Years War studies to investigate the influence of the conflict on Italy, the Low Countries, and Spain and on such topics as urban history, and the actualities of weapon use on the battlefield. A number of the essays in this collection seek to re-examine old but thorny questions long associated with the conflict, including the real immediate impact of gunpowder technology on siege warfare during the fourteenth century and the "purposeful" strategy of Henry V in staging and bringing about the battle of Agincourt in 1415. With contributions by L.J. Andrew Villalon, María Teresa Ferrer i Mallol, Donald J. Kagay, Clara Estow, William P. Caferro, Sergio Boffa, Peter Michael Konieczny, Paul Solon, Manuel Sánchez Martínez, James E. Gilbert, Jane Marie Pinzino, Clifford J. Rogers, Kelly DeVries, and John Clement. Winner of the 2014 Verbruggen Prize of De Re Militari (the Society for the Study of Medieval Military History) given annually for the best book on medieval military history.
