Synopsis

The fascinating history of Renaissance warfare is explored by Stephen Turnbull in his new book. A period of transition and innovation, the Renaissance saw many forms of change, not least in the morality and efficiency of warfare. The medieval knight moved and developed with the times - armour became less cumbersome, and military skills more honed. The reader can observe the evolution of the knight from his days as the embodiment of chivalry in the Middle-Ages, to the advent of gunpowder, and his altogether more ruthless and efficient incarnation, all via intriguing accounts of over two centuries' warfare.
