About 1356 by Bernard Cornwell
Set against the lead-up to the Battle of Poitiers in 1356, Bernard Cornwell’s historical novel follows Thomas of Hookton, a veteran of Crécy who leads a mercenary company of bowmen and men-at-arms. As the English and French prepare for another confrontation, Thomas is given an urgent task connected to La Malice, a sword believed to carry the power to guarantee victory.
With others also pursuing the sword and private agendas bringing French, Scottish and English opponents into the conflict, the story converges on the battle near Poitiers. Readers interested in medieval warfare, the English-French conflict, and historical fiction centered on a documented battle will find those subjects at the heart of 1356.
