Description
The "Burgundian Wars" are generally considered to be the campaigns of the last Burgundian duke against the Confederates. This duke, Charles the Bold, was defeated in several battles and died near Nancy in early 1477. This event and the resulting dispute over the Burgundian inheritance are of immense historical significance, for they mark the beginning of the Franco-German "hereditary enmity".
This book presents the Burgundian Wars from the campaigns against Liège, the siege of Neuss, the battles in the Sundgau and Lorraine to the battles against the Confederates.
The role of the Swiss allies is acknowledged, as is the importance of the French and English crowns in this conflict.
The authors highlight what the driving forces behind the war against Charles the Bold were and what factors led to his downfall. In doing so, they present hitherto little-known details about the death of the Burgundian duke.
The armies of the Burgundians and their opponents are portrayed in detail in terms of their composition, equipment, tactics, etc.
The book is illustrated, among other things, with pictures of international re-enactment groups. It contains an extensive bibliography.
