Physical Description; 48 pages. Summary; Almost continual warfare raged in Europe during the period 1300-1500. These wars were the furnaces in which many of the modern European nations were forged. Parallel with this emergence of the nations came the development of national armies to protect the newly-won borders and independence, yet throughout this period the old feudal method of raising an army persisted. This fascinating study by Terence Wise explores the organization, weapons and equipment of the armies who fought across Medieval Europe, from the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453)?to the fight against the Moors in Spain, and the French invasion of Italy in 1494. Subjects; Europe. History. Medieval. Military. Warfare & defence. history (discipline).
