    Haven't read them all yet!!

    (or likely to!!!)

    Added a few more including some Pen and sword reprints etc.

    To avoid double posting have added another dozen or so books, including many recent ones and some on the welsh marches.

    and one on english navy in this period.

    Updated O/P with some more titles, additional information etc.
    added a few titles about castles and town fortifications.

    Currently reading Peter Reid's "By Fire and Sword. The rise and fall of English supremacy 1314 - 1485" - a very readable overview of the subject.
    also recommend recently read: Ian Mortimer's "1415: Henry V's year of glory" especially for his thorough coverage of the vast amount of detailed planning that went into an invasion of France.
