|
|
$a"The historic 500th instalment of the Men-at-Arms series, Armies of Castile and Aragon depicts the fighting men whose skill and tactical flexibility made Spain into a world power at the dawn of the Renaissance. On the Iberian peninsula and in Italy, the foundations of Spain's military 'Golden Age' were being laid as the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon under the Trastamara dynasty grew in power, ambition and success from 1370 onwards. They were to carve out the world's first globe-spanning empire, which stretched from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean and led to the momentous colonisation of the New World. This remarkable story is illustrated with period paintings and sculpture, photographs, and full-colour plates by a renowned expert on the appearance of medieval fighting men."--Publisher's note |
