The people who fought and died at Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt had no idea that they were living in the era of the Hundred Years' War. This war was invented by historians, for contemporaries it was a series of endless conflicts between the French Capetians and the English Plantagenets. The French coat of arms has lilies, the English coat of arms has a leopard. Of course, it all started because of a woman.

In this war, reckless love, jealousy, courage, miracles and betrayal were closely intertwined. In her book, the famous Russian medievalist Natalia Ivanovna Basovskaya unfolds before the reader a three-hundred-year panorama of battles and diplomatic intrigues, recreates the images of the main characters Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard the Lionheart, Charles the Wise and Joan of Arc.
