		The work "is not a focused examination of the battle itself, or an attempt to consider and resolve..." several controversial aspects of the battle as related in many earlier works on the topic.

		For belligerent use, the ships were fitted out with "castles" or high platforms from which, at the Battle of Sluys in 1340, longbowmen, wielding England's decisive weapon, dispatched a storm of arrows that won the first important victory of the war.
		No one dared tell the outcome of the battle to the King of France until his jester was thrust forward and said, "Oh, the cowardly English, the cowardly English!" and on being asked why, replied, "They did not jump overboard like our brave Frenchmen." The King evidently got the point.
		France's allies, the Castilians, had a professional navy of true warships, that is to say, galleys propelled by oarsmen, which 30 years after Sluys reversed the result and annihilated the English in the two-day Battle of La Rochelle.
