Description
Siege warfare played a crucial role in medieval military strategy. During this period, sieges outnumbered pitched battles, ranging from small-scale affairs to full-scale assaults on strongholds. This book explores the various aspects of medieval siege warfare, including formalities and unconventional tactics. The text is accompanied by numerous illustrations, including 12 full-page colour plates by Richard and Christa Hook. These images provide a visual representation of the subject matter, enhancing the reader's understanding of medieval siege warfare. By examining both the invader's and defender's perspectives, this book offers a comprehensive look at the art of medieval siege warfare.
