Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the life of fifteenth-century soldier, John Fastolf. Often unjustly remembered as the coward of Shakespeare's Henry VI, in fact he was a prominent commander in the Hundred Years War. Despite his success on the battlefield, Fastolf also endured a period of disgrace after the disastrous Battle of Patay. The author argues that much of the bad press Fastolf received was due to the influence of his enemies at court; this book seeks to rehabilitate his character and provide a more balanced perspective on his life and career. Drawing on Fastolf's own letters and other historical records, the author reconstructs the complex and fascinating life of this controversial figure. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
