Download The De Re Militari of Vegetius Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Vegetius' late Roman text became a well-known and highly respected 'classic' in the Middle Ages, transformed by its readers into the authority on the waging of war. Christopher Allmand analyses the medieval afterlife of the De Re Militari, tracing the growing interest in the text from the Carolingian world to the late Middle Ages, suggesting how the written word may have influenced the development of military practice in that period. While emphasising that success depended on a commander's ability to outwit the enemy with a carefully selected, well-trained and disciplined army, the De Re Militari inspired other unexpected developments, such as that of the 'national' army, and helped create a context in which the role of the soldier assumed greater social and political importance. Allmand explores the significance of the text and the changes it brought for those who accepted the implications of its central messages.

Download De RE MILITARI by VEGETIUS Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
De Re Militari by Vegetius is the famous strategy book written in times of the Roman Empire. It explains how they organized their armies, battles, sieges, and war strategies. This is the complete official edition and it contains the 4th part (how to perform sieges, city defenses, and naval warfare) which is not included in commonly available basic editions. De Re Militari is essential to understand European strategy and war due to the fact that, besides describing the military might of Rome in practical terms, it was also used by generals and rulers in the next centuries and the Middle Ages to organize European armies, conduct sieges, reinforce castles, train soldiers, and conquer enemy nations. So much so that generals would be judged and measured in warfare skills by their knowledge and understanding of Vegetius.

Download Aspects of War in the Late Middle Ages Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This Variorum collection of articles is intended to illustrate that conflict in the late Middle Ages was not only about soldiers and fighting (about the makers and the making of war), important as these were. Just as it remains in our own day, war was a subject which attracted writers (commentators, moralists and social critics among them), some of whom glorified war, while others did not. For the historian the written word is important evidence of how war, and those taking part in it, might be regarded by the wider society. One question was supremely important: what was the standing among their contemporaries of those who fought society’s wars? How was war seen on the moral scale of the time? The last two sections deal with a particular war, the ‘occupation’ of northern France by the English between 1420 and 1450. The men who conquered the duchy, and then served to keep it under English control for those years, had to be rewarded with lands, titles, administrative and military responsibilities, even (for the clergy) ecclesiastical benefices. For these, war spelt ‘opportunity’, whose advantages they would be reluctant to surrender. The final irony lies in the fact that Frenchmen, returning to claim their ancestral rights once the English had been driven out, frequently found it difficult to unravel both the legal and the practical consequences of a war which had caused a considerable upheaval in Norman society over a period of a single generation. (CS 1106).
