Articoli correlati a Weapons and Warfare in Late Medieval Europe
Using innovative new reconstruction and archeological techniques, this is a fresh look at the weapons and tactics that changed the face of warfare—an ideal sourcebook for reenactors, war gamers, and military enthusiasts
The sword, the staff weapon, the bow and crossbow, and gunpowder artillery were the weapons of the late middle ages. This book examines each weapon system in detail, covering its history and use with examples from the battlefields of Europe. It explores how the technology of the day transformed the tactics and the organization of the four main military powers in Europe—the Swiss, the Burgundians, the French, and English. The author uses contemporary documents with the latest archeological research, reconstructions, and his own experiences as a military reenactor to explore what it was like to fight with these weapons on the front line. He also explores how the shared experience of war, by the end of the period, led to the development of tactics that were very similar across Europe. This new look at a key period in weaponry and tactical development will fascinate any military enthusiast.
