The speakers at the 2018 Helion conference offer a variety of
insights into the depth and direction of research into the Thirty
Years' War, with particular reference to the war's effect on the
British Isles, the careers of the officers from its shores who
participated in the conflict, and the 'trickle-down' effect of the
war into the military thinking and technology of those isles.
Keynote speaker Professor Steve Murdoch examines the changes in
understanding of British military participation in the Thirty
Years' War from a once unsophisticated and dismissive approach to a
more enriched and interesting field of study. Keith Dowen examines
the work of Catholic Irish colonel Gerat Barry, which has been
largely overlooked. Michal Paradowski looks into the careers of
three officers from the British Isles who fought abroad - Arthur
Aston Jr, James Butler and Scotsman James Murray. Arran Johnston
considers the importance of General Alexander Leslie and his
officer corps, and the importance of their overseas service in the
Thirty Years' War as the basis for the effectiveness of the
Scottish army in the Bishops' Wars. Prof. Martyn Bennett explores
the process of appointment of the rival command structures in 1642,
at the start of the English Civil Wars. David Flintham considers
the foreign, especially Dutch, influence on English fortification
during the period, the methods employed and those who practised
them. Stephen Ede-Borrett examines contemporary vexillology, and
how much the Thirty Years' War influenced the military flags used
by the English Armies from 1639 to 1651.
