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.

German Medieval Armies
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
As the previous reviewer stated, this book pays little attention to the gear and fighting styles of the period. It instead focuses on the organization and composition of the German army, and then on the various major campaigns and battles of this period. This is valuable information nonetheless, and the quality of the plates and plate commentary make up for the otherwise lacking in the weapon-and-armor department.
