Castagnaro 1387: Hawkwood’s Great Victory de Kelly DeVries

Castagnaro 1387: Hawkwood’s Great Victory: Campaign, cartea 337

Autor Kelly DeVries, Niccolò Capponi Ilustrat de Graham Turner
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 iul 2019
The battle of Castagnaro, fought on 11 March 1387 between the Veronese and the Paduans, is one of the most famous Italian medieval conflicts in the English-speaking world. This is thanks in no small part to the exploits of the renowned English mercenary (or condottiero) captain, Sir John Hawkwood. Commanding the Paduan army, he led them to a stunning victory.This new study challenges the conventional story of the battle, relocating it to the other side of the Adige River, and showing that Hawkwood was no mere disciple of his previous commander, the Black Prince-he was a highly talented and intelligent general in his own right. Using specially commissioned full-colour artwork, this fascinating book shows how Hawkwood used his own acumen, and the training, skills, and discipline of his very experienced condottieri, to defeat his opponents at Castagnaro.
