I would just like a couple of books. I'll take what you think would be most interesting and you would recommend.

OK as stated by BkB

You need only two (thus far) - Trial by Battle and Trial by Fire by Jonathan Sumption

These are a good start, they are large books, ie 600 pages each. However, these give you one small problem they only take the conflict upto 1369. But most people you talk to will haver these books.

I would also suggest

The Hundred years war by Robin Neillands

ISBN 0415261309

This books also talk about The Angevin Empire 1152-1223 and talks about the situation with Aquitaine and its homage.

Alright thanks ShadesWolf and everyone else who contributed. Currently I am reading two books The Feudal Kingdom of England 1042-1216By Frank Barlow and The Hundred Years War By Christopher Allmand. The first one is really indept into England in those years but The Hundred Years War is just like a glimpse into what really happened at the time so thats the whole reason I started this thread cause I knew there would be people who now good books. Thanks again.

I found the novel Sarum to be pretty good, it starts off at the end of the ice age, and traces a few families as they go up to modern times in the area of Salisbury.

Most of the books I have are from an English point of view.
I have a few based on France, but nothing really from a French point of view, or any French books translated/ released in England....

Can anybody help ?
