The Captain of the Wight by Frank Cowper

A fictional story of Edward Woodville, Captain of the Wight. ‘The Captain of the Wight’ is the story of how he came to lead 440 Isle of Wight men to their deaths in Brittany. The first part of the book is fiction, the second part is a set of translated letters which outlined the campaign and the great rousing poem written by an island historian on the whole event, and finally the third part is the original medieval report on which the book is based, to verify the facts.
