Samenvatting
Sir Charles Oman brings medieval warfare to life in this epic work of military history. He traces the evolution of weaponry, strategy and tactics from the end of the Roman legions to the final battlefield dominance of the armored knight. Many conflicts are discussed in depth, including those of the Byzantine Empire, the Viking invasions, the Crusades, the Hundred Years War, and the English wars against the Scottish. Additional chapters cover advances in siege warfare and defenses, and the varied recruitment and organization methods of different armies. This ebook edition includes an active table of contents, reflowable text, over 30 campaign maps and battle diagrams, and all of Oman’s extensive footnotes.
