Review title: An interesting overview
Product review: Like many historical accounts, this is rather dry reading. It does provide a rather concise history of the time period. There was considerable dispute over control of various segments of the French countryside. Events were compounded by disputes between Henry II's sons. Individuals wanted power, and often entered into outside alliances (always hazardous). To quote an old expression, "a house divided cannot stand" and, in the case of the English monarchy, the French king reaped the crop resulting from the seeds of turmoil among Henry II's family. The main problem with reading the history of a particular king is that it is taking a part of history out of context. To understand the full situation, it is necessary to read both the preceeding history, and the history that followed. Events during this period did lay the groundwork for later events.
