Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the captivating history of intrepid English seafarers and merchants as they boldly ventured into the unknown to establish global trade routes, amassing wealth, and profoundly shaping the political landscape. Beginning in the 14th century, when England was still a humble maritime nation, the book follows the rise of the merchant class and the gradual expansion of English sea power through the reigns of various monarchs, from Edward III to Henry VIII. The author chronicles the voyages of famous figures like John Philpot, William Canynge, and the Cabot family, who paved the way for England's dominance on the seas. This book also offers insights into the broader historical context, including the influence of the Norman Conquest and the Wars of the Roses, deftly weaving these events into the narrative of maritime exploration and commercial expansion. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the profound impact these seafaring pioneers had on the growth of the British Empire and the shaping of the world as we know it today.
