Hastings 1066: The Fall of Saxon England
ISBN: 9781841761336 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Osprey's Campaign title for the Battle of Hastings, which was fought on 14th October 1066 between Duke William of Normandy and Harold Godwinson, king of England, and whichirrevocably changed the course of English history. William's victory ensured his accession to the English throne. Hastings was also decisive in another way: the horrendous casualties suffered by the English nobility both there and at the two earlier battles of Fulford and Stamford Bridge resulted in there being very few men influential enough to lead an English resistance once William had been crowned. William would survive...

Norman Knight Ad 950-1204
ISBN: 9781855322875 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Throughout the 11th and 12th centuries the Norman knight was possibly the most feared warrior in Western Europe. He was descended originally from the Vikings who had settled in Northern France under their leader Rollo in or around 911 at the behest of Charles the Simple and throughout the following centuries they remembered and built on their warlike reputation. This book shows how their military prowess was renowned throughout the known world and resulted in Normans conquering Sicily in 1060 and England in 1066, as well as participating in many important battles in Italy and playing a major...

German Medieval Armies 1300-1500
ISBN: 9780850456141 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The German rulers were forceful and powerful men, and, surrounded by potential enemies, circumstances dictated the necessity of rule by strength based on military capacity. In the later 15th Century, three houses rose above the others; the families of Wittelsbach, Luxemburg and the powerful Austrian Hapsburgs. The struggles of these and other houses, and of the knights and towns, were to be a feature of German history throughout the Middle Ages. This title details the dress, weapons, heraldry and insignia of these prolific forces, as well as various battles, such as the Battle of Goellheim of...

Normański rycerz 950-1204
ISBN: 9788378896197 / Polski / Miękka / 2018 / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. Przez cały XI i XII wiek normańscy rycerze byli najprawdopodobniej najbardziej budzącymi grozę wojownikami w Europie Zachodniej. Zapewne byli oni spadkobiercami wikingów, którzy pierwotnie osiedlili się w północnej Francji ze swym wodzem Rollonem ok. 911 roku na żądanie Karola III Prostaka, kultywując przez następne stulecia swoją wojowniczą reputację. Niniejsza praca przybliża ich umiejętności wojskowe, sławne w całym ówcześnie znanym świecie, które umożliwiły im podbój Sycylii w 1060 i Anglii w 1066 roku, jak również wzięcie udziału w wielu ważnych bitwach...

Bosworth 1485: Last Charge of the Plantagenets
ISBN: 9781855328631 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The battle of Bosworth effectively put an end to the dynastic struggle known as the Wars of the Roses (1455-1485). Guiding the reader from the campaign's origins to its aftermath, and covering the commanders and forces of King Richard III and Henry Tudor, this is a complete treatment of one of the most important events in English history. Shakespeare was to immortalize the battle and Richard's death in Richard III, and the life and reign of the last Plantagenet have sparked centuries of debate. Christopher Gravett cuts through myth and propaganda as he clearly details the course of this...

Norman Stone Castles (2): Europe 950-1204
ISBN: 9781841766034 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Following the creation of the Duchy of Normandy, the Normans were soon introduced to the castle and they built them in large numbers. In the mid-11th century, other Norman adventurers began carving out dominions for themselves in Southern Italy: some crossed to Sicily in 1061 and by 1091 had conquered the whole island. As in Normandy, they were keen to assimilate new ideas, including architectural styles, resulting in some striking buildings. This title, a companion to Fortress 13: Norman Stone Castles (1) The British Isles 1066-1216, provides a detailed guide to the castles built in...

English Medieval Knight 1200 1300
ISBN: 9781841761442 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The 13th century was a time of change for knights in England. They were faced with rising costs and increasing demands on their time for local government because of their very status in society, until knighthood itself was sometimes avoided. This period saw as well the development of the tournament from the wild team events of the early years of the century to the single jousts with blunt lance. Campaign life in the 13th century also embraced several theatres of war including the baronial revolt against King John, the Barons' Wars of Simon de Montfort (also known as the Second Barons' War,...

Medieval Siege Warfare
ISBN: 9780850459470 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. During the Middle Ages siege warfare played a vital role in military strategy. Sieges were far more numerous than pitched battles, ranging from small-scale affairs against palisaded earthworks to full-scale assaults on vast strongholds. Needless to say, the art of siege warfare assumed a unique importance to both invader and defender alike. In this title Christopher Gravett explores the different aspects of medieval siege warfare, from chivalrous formalities to 'surprise and treachery', in a text backed by numerous illustrations including 12 full page colour plates by Richard and Christa...

Norman Stone Castles: The British Isles 1066-1216
ISBN: 9781841766027 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Descended from the Viking raiders who settled in Northern France under the leadership of Rollo in around 911, the Normans were amongst the most feared warriors of their time. Their territorial ambitions culminated in Duke William 1's conquest of England in 1066, but although victory at Hastings left the English crown in William's hands, Norman sovereignty remained far from established on the island. In order to consolidate his position, the new king built a series of fortifications across the country - this book covers all these developments from the early days of William I through to the...

German Medieval Armies 1000 1300
ISBN: 9781855326576 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In medieval Germany violence was accepted far more than in other kingdoms. Kings were recognised as guardians of order, but this had its limitations. Lords expected to use force to secure their rights or win an argument when peaceful methods were not sufficient. Christopher Gravett does a fine job of examining the organisation and campaigns of German medieval armies from 1000-1300, in a volume containing plenty of photographs and illustrations, including eight full page colour plates by Graham Turner.

Tudor Knight
ISBN: 9781841769707 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Osprey's study of the knight during the Tudor period (1485-1603). The Tudor knight was the first line of defence employed by monarchs from Henry VIII to Elizabeth I, the last of a long tradition of knighthood dating back to the 11th century. Knighthood during the Tudor era saw reforms in recruitment, appearance, and most radically in training and equipment. This book details those changes, profiling the knight's appearance and dress, life on campaign, and experience of battle in France, Scotland and Ireland. It also explores the concept of chivalry, as sensationally enacted by Henry VIII and...

English Medieval Knight 1400-1500
ISBN: 9781841761466 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The 15th century was a time of change for knighthood. Knights no longer fought for their lords in return for land, since the feudal summons had long before given way to a system of contracts. Moreover, many knights now preferred the role of landowner, man-about-town or parliamentary representative. However, this was also the age of the knight in plate armour, of the battle of Agincourt and the conquests of Henry V, and of the Wars of the Roses, the bloody internecine struggle that tore medieval England apart. In this title Christopher Gravett describes the life of a 15th century knight, his...

Knights at Tournament
ISBN: 9780850458367 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Like all warrior classes throughout history medieval knights engaged in military games, partly in preparation for war and partly for pure sport. From their often brutal origins in the 10th century to the gaudy pageantry and eventual decline of the 15th and 16th centuries, tournaments were the centre of the knightly life. The image of the armoured and surcoated knight on his caparisoned charger remains the epitome of the chivalric ideal. Christopher Gravett explores the history of the tournament from its chaotic beginnings to its more formal, 'civilised' incarnation, describing the various...

Towton 1461: England's bloodiest battle
ISBN: 9781841765136 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. On a bitterly cold Palm Sunday, 29 March 1461, the army of King Edward IV met that of his Lancastrian enemies on a snow-covered battlefield south of the village of Towton in Yorkshire. The struggle lasted all day in the longest and bloodiest battle of the Wars of the Roses (1455-1485). With the arrival of Yorkist reinforcements under the Duke of Norfolk, the Lancastrian line eventually broke and their troops fled, many being caught and slaughtered in the death trap known as 'Bloody Meadow'. Christopher Gravett examines the campaign that marked the resurgence of the Yorkist cause and...

Tewkesbury 1471: The last Yorkist victory
ISBN: 9781841765143 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this book Christopher Gravett details the climactic events of 1471 and the battle that virtually extinguished the Lancastrian cause. After the crushing Yorkist victory at Towton in 1461, King Edward IV appeared to have triumphed in England's bloody Wars of the Roses (1455-1485). The Lancastrian King Henry VI was even a prisoner in the Tower of London. By 1470, however, Edward's erstwhile ally the Earl of Warwick - The 'Kingmaker' - had joined the Lancastrians and a final reckoning was inevitable. Warwick perished at Barnet in April 1471, and on 4 May Edward confronted his enemies,...

The Castles of Edward I in Wales 1277-1307
ISBN: 9781846030277 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In 1277 Edward I gathered a huge army and marched into Wales to subdue the rebel Welsh princes who continued to raid and pillage English controlled areas of Wales, and even England itself.

This title takes a detailed look at the design, development and principles of defense of the Edwardian Welsh castles, documenting daily life within their walls and the historical events...
