FIFTEENTH CENTURY ENGLAND A COMPREHENSIVE CHRONOLOGY

This is the second volume of a comprehensive chronological history of

fifteenth century England. This four-volume set begins in 1397, a necessary

prelude to the rise of Henry IV, and carries through to 1509 and the

death of Henry VII. The series includes inter-related chronologies of Scotland,

Wales, Ireland, France, Burgundy and Brittany. Volume II covers from 1423

and the beginning of the reign of Henry VI, through to 1449, as the English

lose most of their French empire. In the process, it covers most of the last years

of the final phase of the Hundred Years War, as the English struggle to hold

on to their French conquests, and lays some of the groundwork for start of the

Wars of the Roses. It covers land and naval battles, parliaments and great council

meetings, and the lives and deaths of many hundreds of prominent English,

Welsh, Scottish, Irish, French, Burgundian and Breton persons.
