Holding power for over 50 years starting in 1327, Edward III was one of England's most influential kings and one who shaped the course of English history. Revered as one of the country's most illustrious leaders for centuries, he was also a usurper and a warmonger who ordered his uncle beheaded. A brutal man, to be sure, but also a brilliant one.

Noted historian Ian Mortimer offers us the first comprehensive look at the life of Edward III. The Perfect King was often the instigator of his own drama but also overthrew tyrannous guardians as a teenager and ushered in a period of chivalric ideals. Mortimer traces how Edward's reforms made feudal England a thriving, sophisticated country and one of Europe's major military powers. Ideal for anyone fascinated by medieval history, this book provides new insight into Edward III's lasting influence on the justice system, artistic traditions, language, and architecture of the country.

As always the historical detail was on point. Mortimer writes about history with such enthusiasm his love of the topic is evident. The narration was great. Loved it and would recommend.

Ian Mortimer never disappoints.

Great book from start to finish, lots of detail and story. You can really see where Game of Thrones gets a lot of its material from.

5 stars simple as that

Biographies like these often stray off into tangential areas for the sake of context and padding out the narrative and end up losing it in the process. Not so here as Mortimer keeps you laser focused on Edward. It’s a different format than his Time Traveler series but manages the same trick of transporting you there to the King’s side. Outstanding.

Another brilliant work from Mortimer.

A brilliant look into the life, trials, military prowess and family of King Edward III. Ian Mortimer’s analyzation of the demise of Edward II, the calculated titular appointments and building allies had not been seen in England. Mortimer brought Edward III to life in this long narrative. Great for long trips. I will buy the book for my Library.

The author did a wonderful job explaining some of the misconceptions about the King that weren’t true.

Good Read!

Like Marc Morris’ life of Edward I, this biography seeks to understand how a king was shaped by the times in which he lived as well as how he shaped those times.

Refreshingly free of modern snark and condescension, Ian Mortimer challenges conventional wisdom, gives his considered take on the lingering controversies of Edward’s reign, and comes very near presenting a palpable portrait of the man. So it’s strange that, for all the attention to Edward’s times, Mortimer fails to explain the Avignon papacy. We’re told popes reside there, but never how they got there. (Hence only four story stars.)

Alex Wyndham proves to be the perfect narrator for the perfect king.

A Great Bio with an Odd Omission
