Barker tells the dramatic story of the thirty years when England ruled France at the point of a sword. Henry V's second invasion of France in 1417 launched a campaign that would place the crown of France on an English head. The appearance of a visionary peasant girl, Joan of Arc, was able to halt the English advance, but not for long.
