Sorry it took so long to get back to you, somehow I forgot about this thread. Bushman's book about the 14th century was titled "Through a Distant Mirror". I really didn't care for it, spent too much time on the French. It also seemed to make the point that the 1300s made no difference and could have not taken place and our history would still be the same.
She also wrote a book, forgot it's name, about the beginning of WWI, thought that was much better. However, in all cases, the girl does seem to do her homework.
If your interested in that era, may I suggest "The Three Edwards" by Thomas Costigan. Or maybe the first two volumes in Churchill's "A History of the English Speaking People". "Kingdom's of Europe", by Gurney is also a good over view of all of Europe.

Stay healthy,
Andy
