by various

1-962012

Theme: The Power of Wealth: Mercenaries in the Middle Ages. Includes:

Introduction

The Source: The Chronicles of Jean Froissart - Warfare and Chivalry in the Hundred Years War. Examination of the work that proved to be a treasure trove of information for military history.

Monarchs and Mercenaries: The Use of Soldiers for Hire by English Kings in the High Middle Ages. The struggle between the centralizing tendencies of English kings and the resistance by the nobility played-out in council chambers and battlefields. One factor in the monarch's favor -- the employment of mercenaries.

The Catalan Company in the East: Defeating Byzantium, the Ottomans, and the Franks. The late medieval era witnessed a dramatic rise in the use of mercenary soldiers. The decline of the Western European feudal system and the Byzantine themata military system of themata as effective mechanisms for efficiently creating armies led to a rise in 'Free Companies' (mercenaries). Probably the most successful and adventurous of all was the Great Catalan Company.
