A German language account of the 'pre-battle' of Waterloo around the Belle-Alliance Inn. The eminent Napoleonic historian Peter Hofschroer notes that the author of this 1903 work, Julius von Pflugk-Harttung, was "probably the most prolific Waterloo historian to have lived" and that this work is one of his two most useful books: "probably the most exhaustively researched examination of the events leading up to the Battle of Waterloo written. After the Battle of Waterloo, at around 21:00, Prince Blucher and the Duke of Wellington met close to the inn signifying the end of the fighting. Blucher,...

L'Esercito dei regni di Napoli e di Sicilia, dopo la Restaurazione del 1815 cambia la propria denominazione in esercito delle Due Sicilie, spesso citato nei testi come Real Esercito o Esercito napoletano o, impropriamente, Esercito borbonico. Correttamente il nuovo nome venne formalizzato solo nel 1816 con la Legge fondamentale del Regno delle Due Sicilie. Ferdinando, fino ad allora III di Sicilia e IV di Napoli, istitui una nuova entita statuale, il Regno delle Due Sicilie, ed assunse il titolo di Re del Regno delle Due Sicilie.

Tra i primi provvedimenti adottati da Ferdinando II salito al trono l'8 novembre 1830 a soli venti anni, ci fu quello della ristrutturazione dell'Esercito che negli ultimi tempi aveva subito un processo involutivo veramente preoccupante.
