Aprašymas
1361 is the year that follows the treaty of Bretigny. The treaty gave some concessions to the king of England, Edward the Warrior, granting him lands around Calais in the northeast of France and Aquitaine, a large portion of southern France, to the west near Spain. Edward placed his son, The Black Prince in charge of Aquitaine and a brief period of peace followed. The Young archer Duke, William Burton is now settling into his role as Duke of Devonshire and setting in place the people and structures he will need in the region. He and his brother, Thomas, England's Master Archer, are heavily involved in the development of a mercenary force made up of archers for hire. Men who can wield the powerful Longbow are in great demand on the continent and the local French nobles will pay dearly. Will Burton's ascendency to the position of Duke of Devonshire was rare for the times, but was also symptomatic of what was coming: the upheaval of medieval structures. Hundreds of years before commoners toppled kings, there is the story of "The Archer Duke." In this sixth volume of the English Archer Series, the Hawking Duke comes to hunt.
