I am really enjoying "Bloody Crowns" by @michaellivingston.com . Super dense, as he's covering an incredibly dense era, but gripping and easy to follow. I also can't get the phrase "wet gap" out of my head. Absolutely recommend it to anyone with even a passing interest in medieval history.

The 100 years war presented as a '200 years' war, and a key period in the formation of the French nation, in this pod on the book by @michaellivingston.com. Not the 'boys' own adventure' approach to Agincourt. #FRhistory podcasts.apple.com/za/podcast/2...

It is thrilling and humbling to read a review of your work that gets it so well that you kick yourself for not coming up with some of the sentences yourself.

The Millennia Books version of #200YearsWar is in my hands. It’s stunning.

And so is the original @headofzeus.bsky.social version, and the upcoming Basic Books version, #BloodyCrowns … get them all!

“The author’s training as both scholar and storyteller shapes his execution effectively. His command of archival material—royal letters, treaties, chronicles, and the practical minutiae of campaigns—anchors the narrative, while his instinct for structure keeps it readable.”

“at the end of this long lovely book, I keep coming back to how compelling I find Livingston’s revision of how we think about big sweeping demarcations of time.”

I worry a lot about alienating academics when I do popular work. Seeing this review from such accomplished scholars … I’m speechless.

NEW POST: In Bloody Crowns, @michaellivingston.com argues that the "Hundred Years War" is really a two hundred years, and was started by the French, fought in what today we call France, and won by people who got to define what France would be.
