For those wanting some background information on this period, it might be an idea to share some recommended titles:
Prestwich, Michael The Three Edwards: War and state in England 1272 - 1377" Routledge 1980 (and later reprints)
Covers a slightly longer timespan than the Mod but excellent on the political intrigues and the warfare of the period.
Prestwich, Michael "Armies and Warfare in the Middle Ages. The English experience" Yale UP 1996 / 1999
(Only just got this but looks the business.)
Jones, Terry "Medieval Lives" BBC 2004.
The book of the TV series, and despite Jones knock-about style, is based on some serious scholarship as the bibliography shows. Jones punctures all manner of myths and stereotypes along the way as he looks at 8 key members of the medieval community. Look for the description of the minstrel Roger Le Pettour's masterpiece and how much Henry II rewarded him for it. Lots of colour illustrations too.
