Krátky popis
A new and radically original account of the longest military
conflict in European history, which challenges the conventional
periodisation of the ‘Hundred Years War’ to consider a much longer
period of Anglo-French conflict. Michael Livingston argues that the
English lens through which the war has been viewed has led
historians to define it in terms of English interests (most
famously, the claim of the English Plantagenet king Edward III to
be the rightful king of France), and that the events collectively
labelled the ‘Hundred Years War’ are best seen as a sequence of
steps in France’s struggle to define itself as a nation. For much
of the period, France’s primary rival was indeed England.But it was
by no means the only combatant. Burgundy stood in its way, too, as
did Brittany, Flanders, Navarre and other rival powers. Viewing
France as the primary engine driving the war leads Livingston to
consider a much longer timespan, starting with the Anglo-French
‘Pirate War’ of 1292 (which swiftly escalated into a fight over
England’s feudal possessions in Gascony) and ending with the
marriage of Charles VIII of France to Anne of Brittany by which
Brittany was subsumed into the French realm.
