King for 50 years (1327-77), Edward III - like Elizabeth and Victoria after him - embodied the values of his age. He re-made England and forged a nation out of war.
Dr Ian Mortimer is the author of the bestselling Time Traveller's Guide to Elizabethan England and Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England, eight other books and many peer-reviewed articles on English history between the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and was awarded the Alexander Prize (2004) for his work on the social history of medicine in seventeenth-century England. In June 2011, the University of Exeter awarded him a higher doctorate (D.Litt.) by examination, on the strength of his historical work. He also writes historical fiction, published under his middle names (James Forrester). He lives with his wife and three children on the edge of Dartmoor, in Devon.

An excellent biography; entertaining as well as informative
*Daily Telegraph*
A fascinating portrait. At times, the reader seems almost able to
reach across time and touch this man
*The Economist*
In producing this fine biography, Mortimer has succeeded
magnificently, and has gone a long, long way towards restoring
Edward III to his proper place as one of the great makers of this
nation
*Daily Mail*
Ian Mortimer...has virtually single-handedly put medieval history
back in the hands of ordinary readers, combining scrupulous
research with a wonderfully iconoclastic approach to
storytelling
