Summary

Get this fascinating biography of the Black Prince and learn how Edward of Woodstock became England’s greatest knight during the Hundred Years’ War!

The Black Prince was born Edward of Woodstock, heir to the English throne. Although being king wasn’t in this prince’s destiny, he made his mark on history by being one of the most feared knights of the Hundred Years’ War. 

The feared Black Prince struck terror into the hearts of French lords on the battlefield and played a pivotal role in one of Europe's most infamous wars: the Hundred Years’ War. 

Born as the heir to the English Throne, the Black Prince was trained from a young age to be king. Edward of Woodstock, the Black Prince, had other ideas. His love for chivalry, knighthood, and combat brought him on campaigns all over Europe. His life story is full of stunning military victories, near brushes with financial ruin, political intrigue, and an insatiable need for glory.

How did he become known as the Black Prince? What caused his stunning victories against the numerically superior French? How did the Black Prince almost get himself into financial ruin? Why was he the scourge of the French? In The Black Prince: Greatest Knight of the Hundred Years War, we explore every detail of the action-packed life of Edward, the Black Prince.

Get your copy of The Black Prince: Greatest Knight of the Hundred Years War to experience his fascinating life and learn about one of the influential characters of Europe’s greatest war.

Fascinating Biography!

Overall enjoyable, narration could be improved slightly. learned a lot about the "Black Prince". I wonder how different history would be if he succeeded his father in becoming king.

Entertaining Historical Biography

Great biography on one of England's greatest military minds! The narration wasn't too fast, although some of the battles could have gone into more detail.

Appalling, just appalling

The gravitas of the present of was such that I listened for less than 5 minutes and am now deleting it. It was when the book said kingdom of England! It was Britain Btw. It’s like calling California, Mexico.
