About This Item
United Kingdom: Greenhill Books/Lionel Leventhal, 2006. New book, 256 pages. The Art of Renaissance Warfare tells the story of the knight from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries - from the great victories of Edward III and the Black Prince to the fall of Richard III on Bosworth Field. During this period, new technology on the battlefield posed deadly challenges for the mounted warrior; but they also stimulated change, and the knight moved with the times. Having survived the longbow devastation at Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt, he emerged triumphant, his armor lighter and more effective, and his military skills indispensable. This was the great age of the orders of chivalry and the freemasonry of arms that bound together comrades and adversaries in a tight international military caste. Such men as Bertrand du Guesclin and Sir John Chandos loom large in the pages of this book - bold leaders and brave warriors, imbued with these traditions of chivalry and knighthood. How their heroic endeavors and the knightly code of conduct could be reconciled with the indiscriminate carnage of the chevauchee and the depradations of the free companies is one of the principal themes of this book.. Hard Cover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
