Description
The medieval Italian Wars were a complex and multifaceted series of conflicts that shaped the course of European history. This book explores the various armies and navies that fought for control of Italy between the 12th and 14th centuries, including the great powers of medieval Europe, the Lombard League, and the great trading empires of Genoa, Pisa, and Venice. The armies of medieval Europe clashed in Italy, leading to the development of new tactics and the creation of more organized and equipped forces. The use of mercenary forces became increasingly common, and the Italian urban militias became better organized. On the seas, the great naval powers of Genoa, Pisa, and Venice vied for control, creating great trading empires that brought the treasures of the east into feudal Europe. The conflicts in Italy had a profound impact on the development of military organization and tactics, and this book provides a detailed and illustrated look at the armies and navies that fought in these wars.
