Historical books about PO
Posted: Tue 26 Apr 2016 19:01
Hi,
not sure whether this is in the right part of the forum but I am looking for recommendations on historical books about the PO, pretty much interested in any aspect as long as it is non-fictional rather than fictional. Any good reads that somebody can recommend?
I have also recently done some random reading on general French history and came across Helen Castor's book on Joan of Arc. I thought it was a very good read 2 things stood out for me, firstly Joan doesn't appear until well into the book, in fact at some point, I had forgotten that I was reading a book about her as she appeared so late. However, this really made me get a much better impression on what extraordinary impact she must have had. The 2nd one was the importance and role of other women such as Yolande, Duchess of Anjou during this period which I had not realised before. Has anybody read any of her other books and can recommend them?
