Title: More about the nobles than the actual armies.
Product review: Although this volume purports to cover the armies of these two key battles, only two of the colour plates feature actual soldiers. The rest depict various nobles and lords, including Edward III and Jean II, even though their armor is not at all indicative of what the rest of the armies were wearing. Worse still, these nobles are shown in fancy types of armor, like crested helms, that even the text admits they would not have been wearing on the battlefield. The text does include some interesting details on command and control and supply logistics, but as a reference on the actual field armies it is thin.
