The focus of Richard Barber’s book is on the next triumphant decade, when Edward’s skilled seamen defeated a superior French fleet at Sluys, his trained longbowmen trounced the French at Crécy, and the king crowned his triumph by capturing Calais after a siege which reduced its population to eating rats. The port remained the sole slice of France in English hands until “Bloody Mary” carelessly lost it two centuries later.
