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. Christopher Gravett does a fine job of examining the organisation and campaigns of German medieval armies from 1000-1300, in a volume containing plenty of photographs and illustrations, including eight full page colour plates by Graham Turner.
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.
