Osprey Campaign #94 Orleans 1429 Medieval Warfare GC

Description: In 1415, King Henry V of England invaded France and won an overwhelming victory at the battle of Agincourt. Following his victory, the English conquered a large part of northern France, and by 1429 were besieging the city of Orleans. In this darkest hour, France's fortunes were transformed by the inspirational leadership of a young woman, Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc). Within four months the French had broken the siege and won a great victory at the battle of Patay over the previously invincible English. This book examines the crucial campaign which marked the turning point of the Hundred Years War.Features include: Full color artwork 3-dimensional "bird's-eye view" maps Maps and illustrations Copyright 2001 Osprey Publishing. 96 pages, softcover.
