One of the most charismatic and enigmatic personalities of the High Middle Ages, Edward the "Black Prince" commanded an English division at the battle of Crecyat just16 years old. But despite his battlefield exploits, romantic reputation, and popularity among the people, Edward has become notorious as a proponent of "scorched earth" campaigns, or chevauchee.
