Military affairs occupied a very significant place during Henry VIII's reign, with English armies seeing action against two main enemies: the French and the Scots, of which France was undoubtedly viewed as the principal foe. Henry nursed grandiose ambitions to be acclaimed as the arbiter of European politics, and whilst intervention in European affairs did not necessarily dictate a policy of hostility towards France; England was invariably to be found in league with her enemies in time of war. This absorbing text by Paul Cornish deals with the history, uniforms and equipment of King Henry VIII's army.
Each book in the Osprey Men-At-Arms series provides a detailed account of the military uniforms, insignia, background and organisation of a single army, regiment, group or period. Military uniforms are shown in full colour artwork. These books describe in detail the armies, regiments and units that fought in all of history’s most significant military engagements. Featuring full colour illustrations of men of all ranks equipped for all conditions of warfare, together with black and white photographs of contemporary artefacts, illustrations and events, books in the Osprey Men-at-Arms series are a valuable reference tool for model makers, war gamers, re-enactors and military history enthusiasts.
