{"product_id":"lewis-tom-medieval-military-combat-9781612008875","title":"Medieval Military Combat","description":"A concise and entertaining explanation of how other accounts, and popular culture such as films, have misrepresented medieval warfare.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWe don't know how medieval soldiers fought. Did they just walk forward in their armor smashing each other with their maces and poleaxes for hours on end, as depicted on film and in programs such as Game of Thrones?\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThey could not have done so. It is impossible to fight in such a manner for more than several minutes as exhaustion becomes a preventative factor.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIndeed, we know more of how the Roman and Greek armies fought than we do of the 1300 to 1550 period.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSo how did medieval soldiers in the War of the Roses, and in the infantry sections of battles such as Agincourt and Towton, carry out their grim work?\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMedieval Military Combat shows, for the first time, the techniques of such battles. It also breaks new ground in establishing medieval battle numbers as highly exaggerated, and that we need to look again at the accounts of actions such as the famous Battle of Towton, which this work uses as a basic for its overall study.","brand":"Casemate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53620399604054,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781612008875_1.jpg?v=1778606387","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/lewis-tom-medieval-military-combat-9781612008875","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
