Description

A highly illustrated study of the medieval Italian Battle of Castruñaro, the greatest victory of the famous English mercenary captain Sir John Hawkwood. The Battle of Castruñaro, fought on March 11, 1387, between the Veronese and Padovans, is one of the most famous medieval conflicts in Italy among the English-speaking world. This is largely due to the successes of the well-known English mercenary captain, Sir John Hawkwood. Leading the army of the Padovans, he led them to an impressive victory. This study questions the traditional version of the battle, placing it on the other side of the Anza River, and shows that Hawkwood was not merely a student of the previous commander, the Black Prince – he was an exceptionally talented and clever general in his own right. Using specially commissioned color illustrations, this exciting book shows how Hawkwood exploited his foresight, as well as the training, skills, and discipline of his highly experienced mercenaries, to defeat his opponents at Castruñaro.
