A campaign across 1346 France

Set in France in 1346, Michael Jecks’s opening Vintaine novel places a small fighting unit within Edward III’s campaign to claim the French crown. Berenger Fripper, vintener of Sir John de Sully’s Vintaine, lands in Normandy with sixteen men, but the expected French forces are absent. Their advance through France leads toward the Battle of Crécy, connecting the experiences of this compact group with a larger royal campaign. The book’s historical frame and military premise keep the focus on the movement of a unit through a major conflict, while the title introduces a series centered on the Vintaine.

Good fit for readers who enjoy
