## Resource

He was one of medieval England’s most formidable warriors. Today we hear how Edward of Woodstock - the Black Prince - earned that reputation, tracing his rise during the Hundred Years’ War and exploring the nature of his command. We also confront the harsher realities of his campaigns, from brutal sieges to civilian suffering. Was he a hero, or something darker? Joining us is Michael Jones, historian and author of "The Black Prince: England's Greatest Medieval Warrior". Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.
