Philip the Bold: The Dukes Of Burgundy
His achievement remains monumental. There are no comparable, modern, in-depth studies of these four larger-than-life players on the late medieval European stage, in English or in any other language. They are, besides, eminently readable. --Times Literary SupplementRichard Vaughan describes vividly the character of Philip, the splendours of the Burgundian court and Philip's only failure, the crusade of Nicopolis in 1396. [...] A scholarly study based on unusually wide sources and constitutes a good and refreshing story. --Historical AssociationOn series: A major achievement in European historiography. --English Historical Review
