First published in 1898, and following on from Volume 1, this
second volume charts the history of medieval warfare from 1278 to
1485. Written by Sir Charles Oman, one of the great medievalists of
his time, this book remains for students and general readers one of
the best accounts of military art in the Middle Ages. Many of the
chapters have been re-written in view of new research. This edition
is based on Methuen's 1978 revised and enlarged edition, which
includes new chapters on the Swiss Confederacy, the Tartars, the
Ottoman Turks, The Italian Condottieri, the English campaigns in
France in the 15th century, the Wars of the Roses, and the early
employment of artillery.
First published in 1898, this history of medieval warfare, written
by one of the great medievalists of his time, Sir Charles Oman,
remains for students and general readers one of the best accounts
of military art in the Middle Ages. The book begins with the
significant battle of Adrianople in 378 A.D. (the most fearful
defeat suffered by a Roman army since Cannae in 216 B.C.) and
Marignano (1515 A.D.), the last of the triumphs of the medieval
horseman. It was extensively revised and edited by John H. Beeler
in 1953 to incorporate many new facts uncovered since the late
nineteenth century. This edition is based on Methuen's 1978 revised
and enlarged edition, which includes new chapters and the author's
original preface.
