Ans (ii., part i., 1899) for the best general survey of the war to 1380.  See also LUCE’S La Jeunesse de Bertrand de Guesclin and La France pendant la Guerre de Cent Ans, and (for Brittany) A. DE LA BORDERIE’S Histoire de Bretagne (1899).  The end of Edward III.’s reign is illustrated by S. ARMITAGE SMITH’S John of Gaunt (1904), J. LECHLER’S Wiclif und die Vorgeschichte der Reformation (2 vols., 1873), also translated, not very adequately, Wycliffe and His English Precursors (1878 and 1881), F.D.  MATTHEW’S introduction to Wyclif’s English Works (Early English Text Society), and R.L.  POOLE’S Illustrations of the History of Mediaeval Thought (1884), and Wycliffe (1889).  G.M.  TREVELYAN’s England in the Age of Wycliffe (1899) is interesting but not always very scholarly.

Some account of the general foreign history of the period can be found in LAVISSE and RAMBAUD’S Histoire generale (tomes ii. and iii.), LOSERTH’S Geschichte des spaeteren Mittelalters (good bibliographies), and, briefly, in my Papacy and Empire (up to 1273), and LODGE’S Close of the Middle Ages (after 1273).  For French history of the period LAVISSE’S Histoire de France (iii., pt. i., 1137-1226, by A. LUCHAIRE; iii., pt. ii., 1226-1328, by C.V.  LANGLOIS, and iv., pt. i., 1328-1422, by A. COVILLE) cover the whole of the period.  More detailed works are, PETIT-DUTAILLIS’S Louis VIII., E. BERGER’S Blanche de Castile, WALLON’S Louis IX., BOUTARIC’S Saint Louis et Alfonse de Poitiers, C.V.  LANGLOIS’S Philippe le Hardi, BOUTARIC’S France sous Philippe le Bel, LEHUGEUR’S Philippe le Long, PETIT’S Charles de Valois, FOURNIER’S Royaume d’Arles et de Vienne, L. DELISLE’S Hist. de Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte, and (for the south) the new edition of DE VIC and VAISSETE’s Hist. generale de Languedoc.  Much recent work has been done by French scholars towards the reconstruction of the external history of England during the whole of our period.  For the Low Countries, PIRENNE’S Hist. de Belgique, ii., ASHLEY’S James and Philip van Artevelde, and VANDER KINDERE’S Le Siecle des Arteveldt.  PAULI is good for the relations of England and Germany.

Maps illustrating the period are to be found in POOLE’S Oxford Historical Atlas, LONGNON’S Atlas historique de la France, and SPRUNER-MENKE’S Historischer Hand-Atlas; special maps of Edward I.’s Scottish expeditions in GOUGH’S Itinerary of Edward I., of Edward III.’s and the Black Prince’s campaigns in THOMPSON’S Chronicon Galfridi le Baker, and KERVYN’S Froissart, of John of Gaunt’s in ARMITAGE-SMITH’s John of Gaunt, and of Wales in the thirteenth century in Owens College Historical Essays.  VIDAL DE LA BLACHE’S Tableau de la Geographie de la France (LAVISSE, Hist. de France, i., pt. i.) is instructive for the physical features of the campaigns of the Hundred Years’ War.
