He ordered his uncle to be beheaded; he usurped his father's throne; he started a war which lasted for more than a hundred years and taxed his people more than any other previous king. Yet for centuries Edward III was celebrated as the most brilliant king England had ever had and three hundred years after his death it was said that his kingship was perhaps the greatest that the world had ever known. In this first full study of the man's character and life Ian Mortimer shows how Edward personally provided the impetus for much of the drama of his fifty-year reign. Under him the feudal kingdom of England became a highly organised nation and experienced its longest period of domestic peace in the middle ages. Nineteenth century historians saw in Edward the opportunity to decry a warmonger and painted him as a self-seeking rapacious tax-gathering conqueror. Yet as this book shows beneath the strong warrior king was a compassionate conscientious and often merciful man - resolute yet devoted to his wife friends and family. He emerges as a strikingly modern figure to whom many will be able to relate - the father of both the English nation and the English people.
