Product Description

"A great account of one man's highly unusual war.'"
- British Army Review
Synopsis
This story of the knight in the Middle Ages explores the effect of new technologies with highly illustrated, and with 16 pages of colour plates. "The Art of Renaissance Warfare" tells the story of the knight during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries - from the fall of Constantinople in 1453 to the outbreak of the Thirty Years War in 1618. The period was a time of transition and innovation: a time, perhaps, when both military technology and military thinking were moving forward in accomplishment and backwards in morality. It was also a period that has provided fertile ground for the identification of a 'military revolution'. New technology on the battlefield posed deadly challenges for the mounted warrior, but it also stimulated change, and the knight moved with the times. Having survived the longbow devastation at Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt, he emerged triumphant, his armour lighter and more effective, and his military skills honed.
