Kelly DeVries employs evidence from first-hand accounts -- a major feature of this study -- to examine the role of the infantry, and the...

ISBN: 9780754625537 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 534 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. War was epidemic in the late Middle Ages. It affected every land and all peoples from Scotland and Scandinavia in the north to the southern Mediterranean Sea coastlines of Morocco, North Africa, Egypt, and the Middle East in the south, from Ireland and Spain in the west to Russia and Turkey in the east. Nowhere was peaceful for any significant amount of time. The period also saw significant changes in military theory and practice which altered the ways in which campaigns were conducted, battles fought, and sieges laid; and changes in the leadership, recruitment, training, supply and financing...

The Artillery of the Dukes of Burgundy, 1363-1477
ISBN: 9781843831624 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The four Valois Dukes of Burgundy created, in little more than a century, a fabulously wealthy and independent state. Their centralised control and chancellery have bequeathed to us a vast treasure trove of documents, including accounts and inventories of the Masters of the artillery under the later Dukes. Although many of these were extracted and transcribed in the late 19th century, modern historians have largely ignored their unprecedented insights into 15th century guns and their use. When Charles the Bold, the last Valois Duke, took on the combined Swiss confederate forces in 1476 he...

The articles in this volume explore the way in which military developments helped to sculpt, out of very strange and diverse components, our familiar Europe. The period studied covers the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the rise of the Carolingian Empire and its eventual collapse, leaving a vacuum in the heart of Europe into which flowed new forces: the Vikings from outside and the great lords from within.

Journal of Medieval Military History: Volume XIV
ISBN: 9781783271306 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume has a special focus on the topic of proxy actors and irregular forces in medieval warfare. John France and Jochen G. Schenk offer broad overviews: France addresses the military role of non-noble combatants and the significance of differences between medieval and modern ideas of the -legitimacy- of war-fighters, while Schenk applies a concept originating in political science - Mary Kaldor's idea of -New Wars- - to the conflicts of the Middle Ages, showing that in some ways, what is old is new again. Alex Mallett likewise ties the past to the present, comparing Muslim responses to...
