This book details the English army that Henry V led back into France in 1417 to conquer Normandy and again take the war to the French. In 1422 Henry died, and was succeeded by the nine-month-old Henry VI: by 1429 English fortunes were in decline, but more than 20 years of warfare would pass before the English were driven from France. This period of the war is often ignored in preference to the battles of Crécy, Poitiers and Agincourt but in fact is the decisive phase of the conflict. This title examines the army that fought these campaigns in detail looking at its composition, organisation, equipment and weaponry.

Henry V and the Conquest of France 1416–53

Teenagers Ben and Emma share many things with their ancestors, including twins’ communication skills and a curse that has blighted the family for 200 years. And this summer, it seems the curse will exact its final revenge – the destitute Catchpoles will have to sell their beloved Cornish home, Penrose. A fall down an abandoned cliff-top mineshaft brings Ben and Emma face to face with the ghosts of their ancestral twins. They time slip back to the 19th century and are forced by ruthless smugglers to help bring a cargo ashore, which, they discover, contains something far more valuable than merely brandy barrels. At the critical moment, soldiers ambush the smugglers, whose leader, convinced that the Catchpoles betrayed them, curses the family. Ben and Emma come back to the present day and into a media frenzy. They have to contend with a muckraking journalist, a vengeful family descended from the smugglers, an armed robber and parents who don’t understand. The Catchpoles will have to pull together if they are to have any hope of clearing their family’s name and saving Penrose – and reconciling with the family that once cursed their name. The Catchpole Curse is a fast-paced time-slip fantasy that will be enjoyed by children aged 11-14 years. Set in the idyllic Cornish countryside, this book mixes the surreal with the modern day to take the reader on a unique adventure through the Catchpoles’ family history and turbulent present day struggles.
