Italian Medieval Armies 1300-1500 (Men-at-Arms)

,
'Italian Medieval Armies' is a detailed look at the endemic and savage warfare of late medieval Italy. Here the political scene was dominated by fierce mercenary generals, while the battlefield was ruled by the condottiere mercenaries. Indeed, while early medieval Italian armies were populated largely by patriotic citizens fighting for their homes and families, those of this period were known for their cruel and flamboyant mercenaries from Central Europe and England.



Towards the close of his book Nicolle looks at 8 important battles and campaigns of this era to give a summary of Italian battle tactics and leadership. All throughout the book are black-and-white photos of suits of armor, castles, and contemporary artwork that help flesh out some of these events and those that lived them. Gerry Embleton's color plates in this book are among his betters; they are pretty much on par with his great artwork in the 'Armies of Medieval Burgundy' title.



Shortly, this is a nice men-at-arms title and a good companion to the recently published 'Condottiere 1300-1500'.
