Review: Edward III: The Perfect King

Edward III: The Perfect King Edward III: The Perfect King by Ian Mortimer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is extremely well-researched (even calculating how many people likely had King Edward's blood over the ages), although at times it seemed strikingly apologist for him. For example, to dismiss his accusations of rape because someone 700 years ago questioned his servants and no one spilled the beans seems a bit rash.

Still, a fascinating read.
