This unique book was out of print for many years and has now been reprinted in response to many reader inquiries. Few other books illustrate life in the late Middle Ages as realistically and lively as this one. Warriors who defined the 15th century - mercenaries and foot soldiers - are the focus of this book. Readers will also discover the lives of soldiers' wives and camp followers as well as information about food, travelling and medicine of this era. Many brilliant colour illustrations and well-founded texts make this book into an exciting time travel through all the aspects of life in the 15th century.
