In medieval and Renaissance Europe, mercenaries - professional
soldiers who fought for money or other rewards - played violent,
colourful, international roles in warfare, but they have received
relatively little scholarly attention. In this book a large number
of brief impressionistic vignettes portray their activities in
Western Europe over a period of nearly 900 years, from the
Merovingian mercenaries of 752 through the Thirty Years' War, which
ended in 1648. Intended as an introduction to the subject and
drawing heavily on contemporary first-person accounts, this book
creates a vivid but balanced mosaic of the many thousands of
mercenaries who were hired to fight for various employers.
