The art of Renaissance warfare

'The Art of Renaissance Warfare' tells the story of the knight during the 15th and 16th 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 Crécy, Poitiers and Agincourt, he emerged triumphant, his armour lighter and more effective, and his military skills indispensable.
