THE AGE OF CHIVAL

Lilianeand Fred Funcken

17.95

The three volumes of the Age of Chivalry illustrate

in detail armour, weapons and warfare tactics

from the eighth century to the end of the Renais¬

sance. And the lively text, recounting stories about

events and personalities of the period, brings alive

this fascinating era of military history.

Part 1 covers helmets and mail, tournaments

and heraldic bearings, and bows and crossbows

from the eighth to the fifteenth century. Part 2

continues with the same period describing castles,

artillery and siege tactics, and the development of

armour, and then moves on to the Renaissance

period, describing the infantry and cavalry of the

European countries, including thefearsome Swiss

mercenaries, and the troops of the various Slav

and Oriental countries such as Turkish janissaries

and Samurai warriors. Part 3 continues with the

Renaissance, covering arms, horses and tourna¬

ments, the development and decline of armour in

the sixteenth century and artillery and tactics.

This unique and beautifully illustrated series

provides an invaluable source of reference on

military subjects for the eighth to sixteenth

centuries, and will appeal to everyone interested in

that period of history.
