Description
The Italian Wars Volume 3 - Francis I and the Battle of Pavia 1525 by Massimo Predonzani and Vincenzo Alberici In February 1525, two powerful armies clashed under the walls of Pavia. The young King Francis I of France led a massive army against the Emperor Charles Vth, who was determined to claim the Duchy of Milan. The battle that ensued would prove decisive in the Italian Wars, marking a turning point in military history. The French army suffered heavy losses, with their elite Black Legion and Heavy Cavalry units destroyed by the disciplined Spanish arquebusiers. Francis I himself became a prisoner of war, along with many of his nobles. This third volume of The Italian Wars series examines the events leading up to Pavia, from the Peace of Noyon in 1516 to the fateful day of battle. The authors meticulously reconstruct the phases of the battle and examine the heraldry of both armies, using original images and historical sources to recreate the colors and devices used.
