Edward III

Anyone know of some good titles about Edward III?

I found one by Jean Plaidy but it also had her pseudonym Victoria Holt on the cover, so I kinda thought it might be historical romance, which I don't want.

Edit to add... I tried searching on this site but it won't pick up the III part.

Thanks!

Has anyone read Maurice Druon's "Lily and the Lion" or Arthur Conan Doyle's "Sir Nigel" and do they apply perspective for Edward III?

Ironically I'm reading a bio of Edward at the moment.

There are a couple of novels around about his mistress Alice Perrers where he features, but I don't know if there's much where Edward III himself is seen the central character - Plaidy aside.

There's a list of fiction (including the Perrers novels) and non-fiction relating to Edward III at the World of Royalty website here- scroll down to find Edward III

There's also a list of fiction at Amazon
Edward III, his Knights and Ladies

The Luminarium website has a reasonably comprehensive bio with additional links to follow up:
