Includes the transition from the Roman to Medieval Warfare and the development of Cavalry, the Byzantine Army and its development, the Crusades, the Visigoths, the Lombards, the Franks, the Anglo-Saxons, Charlemagne, the Vikings and Magyars, their weaponry, arms and armour. With detailed descriptions of particular battles such as Adrianople, Louvain, Hastings and Lewis.
