Summary "Life of Edward the Black Prince" by Louise Creighton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life and achievements of Edward, the Black Prince, focusing on his significant role during the Hundred Years' War between England and France, particularly emphasizing his character, campaigns, and the socio-political context of the time. Readers can expect a detailed examination of his early life, military exploits, and impact on English history. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces Edward III's reign and the sociopolitical turmoil surrounding Edward the Black Prince's birth and early years. The opening details the conditions leading up to Edward III's rise to power amidst the manipulations of his mother and her lover, Mortimer, along with the ongoing Scottish conflict. Furthermore, it sets the stage for Edward's education under an esteemed tutor, outlining the values and skills he acquired in the chivalric tradition. This provides the groundwork for understanding his later military endeavors and character development, positioning him within the broader historical tapestry of an England eager for glory on the battlefield.
