Edward III is usually either lionized or denigrated, but Ormrod seeks (and I would say succeeds) to show him as fully human. At times amusing, but always readable, the biography is cradle-to-grave, not just the fighting. I have a greater appreciation for how much we have in common with medieval people, and how complex their lives were. Highly recommended!
