Warriors of
Christendom by John Matthews, Bob Stewart and James Field
This volume tells in exciting detail the story of four great warlords
from the early medieval era. They waged their wars, first with the
Barbarian tribes of Europe and later with the might of Islam in bitter
struggles in Spain and for the Holy Land, to establish the political and
military dominance of Christianity throughout Europe and the Middle East.
These were violent and treacherous times, but the personalities of
these four great figures of the period were also influenced by the
chivalrous traditions that were beginning to characterise medieval
culture.
The lives, legends and legacies of Charlemagne, El Cid, Richard
Lionheart and Barbarossa are brought together in this book.

The Picts and Their
Symbols by W A Cummings
The Picts, the most powerful nation in northern Britain for some 500
years, mysteriously disappeared from contemporary records in the 9th
century. All that remains of the language they spoke are a few fragments
in the names of places or people. Their most enduring memorial is a
unique system of symbols, carved on stone monuments, engraved on objects
of silver and bronze and scratched on the walls of caves - symbols whose
interpretation has been as elusive as that of the Egyptian hieroglyphs
before the discovery of the Rosetta Stone.
Well illustrated with photographs, drawings and maps, this important
book will be required reading for anyone interested in the Picts and
fascinated by the perennial mysteries of the Dark Ages.

Richard II and the Revolutions of 1399 by Michael Bennett
This is the first full length study of the last years of Richard
II's reign and the circumstances of his overthrow by Henry of Bolingbroke.
It reviews Richard's early experiences, from his accession, aged only 10,
through the troubled politics of the 1380s, placing new emphasis on his
own insecurities and the vexed issue of the succession. It offers a
detailed examination of Richard's attempts to reassert his royal authority
in the 1390s, including his so-called 'tyranny' from 1397 until 1399, and
sets them in the context of his personal experiences.
Covering an episode which has stirred the imagination since
Shakespeare first put Richard II on the stage, this book will be enjoyed
by anyone fascinated by the personalities and high political drama of the
Middle Ages.
Book serial number S22834. Price £20.00.

Battles in Britain
1066-1746 by Glen Lyndon Dodds
For 250 years Britain has not suffered serious land warfare within
its national boundaries. The Battle of Britain was the remarkable and
celebrated air defence of the realm from the airborne threat posed by
Hitler's Luftwaffe; to study Battles in Britain the historian has to work
back from the middle of the 18th century.
From that point there is plenty of material, as this book makes
plain. The author commences his coverage with 1066, that date which is
etched into the acquisitive mind of every British student, and deals at
length with nine conflicts as well as featuring a further 19 engagements
of varied significance.
The joy of historical study is the encounter with circumstances and
events which are almost beyond the comprehension of the modern mind. In
this absorbing review of 28 battles the reader will gain fresh insights
into a Britain racked by war, unrest and tyranny, centuries in which
feudal might and political ambition were manifest in rampaging armies
capable of fine military strategy alongside primitive brutality.
Book serial number Osprey BA2. Price £20.00.

Knights at Tournament
by Christopher Gravett & Angus McBride
Like all warrior classes throughout history medieval knights engaged
in military games, partly in preparation for war and partly for pure
sport. From their often brutal origins in the 10th century to the gaudy
pageantry and eventual decline at the end of the medieval period,
tournaments were the centre of the knightly life. The image of the
armoured and surcoated knight on his charger remains the epitome of the
chivalric ideal.

German Medieval Armies
1000-1300 by Christopher Gravett and Graham Turner
In medieval Germany, violence was accepted far more than in other
kingdoms. Kings were recognised as guardians of order, but this had its
limitations. Lords expected to use force to secure their rights or win an
argument when peaceful methods were not sufficient. This fine text by
Christopher Gravett examines the organisation and campaigns of the German
medieval armies from 1000 to 1300, in a volume containing numerous
photographs and illustrations, including eight full page colour plates by
Graham Turner.

Dungeon, Fire and Sword: The Knights Templar in the
Crusades by John J Robinson
Over the past thousand years, the bloodiest game of
king-of-the-castle has been for supremacy on the Temple Mount in
Jerusalem, the site of the ancient Temple of Solomon. This book recounts
the stirring saga of the Knights Templar, the Christian warrior-monks who
occupied the sacred Mount in the aftermath of the butchery of the First
Crusade. Recruited to a life of poverty, chastity and obedience intended
to lead only to martyrdom on the battlefield, they were totally dedicated
to the pious paradox that the wholesale slaughter of non-believers would
earn the gratitude of the Prince of Peace.
The Templars amassed great wealth, which they used to finance their
two hundred years of war against Muslims on the desert, in the mountains,
and up the broad sweep of the Nile valley. The Templars reward for those
two centuries of military martyrdom was to be arrested by the pope and
king, tortured by the Inquisition, and finally decreed out of existence.
But their legend and legacy just would not die.
In telling the incredible story of the Knights Templar, the author's
clear explanation of the cultural and religious differences among the
Templars' enemies and friends in the Middle East gives fresh understanding
of the people who populate this restless region. Here are the Sunnis and
the Shiites, the Kurds and Armenians, the Arabs and Turks, who figure so
prominently in today's headlines. The similarity of their antagonisms
today and those of eight hundred years ago are often so striking as to be
eerie. Dungeon, Fire and Sword is a brilliant work of narrative history
that can be read as an adventure story, a morality play, or a lesson in
the politics of warfare.

Hastings 1066
Back
to Top
The most famous
battle in English history, Hastings was the culmination of one of the
medieval world's most daring military expeditions - and a truly decisive
battle. It marked the end of Anglo-Saxon England, winning the land hungry
Normans a new kingdom, and ensuring that Britain's destiny lay in Western Europe
rather than with Scandinavia. The author, Chris Gravett, of the Royal
Armouries at the Tower of London, has written several titles in the Osprey
Men-at -arms series.
