Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[Todd Kaeser]

Just read Ewart Oakeshott's "A Knight in Battle" - while most medieval books that review battles stick to the common, Oakeshott describes 4 very different knight battles - Arsuf (1191), Lincoln (1217), Mauron (1352), and Marignano (1515).

This is an excellent read - especially for those who like to know what happened w/o a too deep scholarly feel to it. Oakeshott has a series of books on the knight - a good way to get to know the basics.

Includes:
A knight and his armor
A knight and his horse
A knight and his castle
A knight and his weapons
Dark Age Warrior
The archaeology of weapons
The Sword in the age of Chivalry.

I'm also a big fan of Charles Oman - The Art of War in the Middle Ages - very good read.
