Mad Dogs and Englishmen - John of Gaunt in Spain

John of Gaunt can be called many things, though usually a military failure is not one of them.....but we normally only here about his deeds in back in England. This is what happens when thousands of Englishmen in metal suits descend on a country far hotter than the wet Lancastrian moors (not to be confused with 'The Moors', as in Muslim inhabitants of the Iberian peninsula).
The text was taken from A Medieval Miscellany, Selected by Judith Herrin.
