Opis

This book describes the organization and illustrates the equipment of the armies that shaped the remarkably varied and colourful history of medieval Poland. It traces them from the birth of the Christian kingdom in the 10th century through the ‘Northern Crusades’ and the wars against the Teutonic Knights to the extraordinary 15th-century expansion under the Jagiello kings. The text is illustrated with an unusually rich collection of memorial sculptures, early paintings, and has full colour reconstruction by the respected medieval specialist Gerry Embleton, 48 pp.
