German Medieval Armies 1000–1300

A history of the early medieval German Armies from the fragmentation of Charlemagne's Frankish Empire to the rise of the German, or Holy Roman Empire. This text looks in detail at the period of the Saxon wars and the Crusades including the rise of the Teutonic Knights.

Description

In medieval Germany, violence was accepted far more than in other kingdoms. Kings were recognised as guardians of order, but this had its limitations. Lords expected to use force to secure their rights or win an argument when peaceful methods were not sufficient.

German Medieval Armies 1000–1300 by Christopher Gravett does a fine job of examining the organisation and campaigns of German medieval armies from 1000 to 1300. This volume contains plenty of photographs and illustrations, including eight full-page colour plates by Graham Turner.
