Edward prince of Wales & Aquitaine known as the Black Prince is one of the legendary figures of English history victor of three great battles & a model of chivalry & courtesy. Behind this image which many of his contemporaries accepted & eagerly believed in it is difficult to get at the realities of his character & of the life that he led. Most of his biographers have based their work on the splendid vision of chivalry conjured up by Froissart but the present book deliberately shuns this approach to see what can be found in official records particularly from the princes household & those who campaigned with the prince. Special attention has been paid not only to the confusing & confused accounts of the great battles but also to the princes early years his close companions who contributed so greatly to his successes & to his government of Aquitaine an obscure but very important part of his career. A number of minor but persistent errors in early histories deriving from Froissart are corrected. A concluding chapter examines how the legend of the Black Prince (and his curious nickname) came into being. By separating the image & the reality a clearer picture of the prince emerges.
