1356 is the fourth novel in The Grail Quest series by Bernard Cornwell, first published in 2012. It is set in 1356, nearly a decade after the original trilogy, and culminates with the Battle of Poitiers. Intertwined in the plot is the quest to find la Malice, a fabled sword of Saint Peter and Christian relic which may turn the tide of the long war for France.
