Product Description:Fought on 19 May 1643 between the French army of the Duc d'Enghien and the Spanish army under Francisco de Melo, Rocroi is probably one of the most controversial battles in the long period of conflict between the kingdoms of France and Spain. The numerous sources, be they official accounts, memoirs, or correspondence, most often contradict each other.The principal controversy of this battle, far from being anecdotal, concerns the French right flank, placed under the direct command of Louis II de Bourbon, the Duc d'Enghien. The version generally accepted by historians of French sources affirms that the cavalry of Gassion overthrew and quickly pushed back the first Spanish companies, eventually defeating them. However, Spanish sources, defended by historians beyond the Pyrenees, contend that the cavalry of the Duc d'Albuquerque, opposing that of Gassion and Enghien, broke through the squadrons and two infantry regiments of the French advanced guard on two occasions! Thus, there exist today two battles of Rocroi: the one found in Spanish works and the one found in numerous French works.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. French Armies of the Thirty Years' War presents the development of the French army, one of the first standing armies in Europe, from 1617 to 1648. It shows how Louis XIII and Richelieu made the most of the complex legacy of the Wars of Religion. The three musketeers, Cyrano de Bergerac, Louis XIII, Richelieu, Conde, Turenne, La Rochelle, Rocroi. these few words sum up the literary and historical representations most people can associate with the tumultuous events of the first half of the seventeenth century. French Armies of the Thirty Years' War begins in 1617, the year that Louis XIII really took power by distancing the queen mother and ordering the assassination of Concini and ends in 1648 - five years after the death of Louis XIII - the year of the Westphalia Peace Treaty. This period was mostly dominated by the personality and works of Richelieu, who entered the king's council in April 1624. He gave the king an ambition: 'to procure the ruin of the Huguenot party, humble the pride of the great, reduce all subjects to their duty, and elevate your majesty's name among foreign nations to its rightful reputation'. By his death, on 4 December 1642, this program had been accomplished. The first military action of this period, called the 'Drolerie des Ponts de Ce', was the uprising of the nobility who supported the queen mother against the king in August 1620. In reality, the rebels were roundly defeated by the king's armies, but very few units actually fought. In his memoirs, Richelieu, who was on the queen's side at the time, gives a detailed analysis of this defeat. In particular, he drew from it principles that he was to follow throughout his life, and he realized: 'that which is held only by a precarious authority does not last long; that those who fight against a legitimate power are already half-defeated by their own imagination'. These political beliefs gave Louis XIII and Richelieu a powerful instrument that was to emerge transformed from the Thirty Years' War. The army that Marie de Medici left to Henri IV's heir was small and inexperienced, but the Wars of Religion at the beginning of Louis XIII's reign, combined with Richelieu's actions, gave the French kingdom an increasingly efficient army. Commanded by great captains such as the Duc de Rohan, the Viscomte de Turenne and the Prince of Conde, the army was highly successful, as shown by the long list of French victories, from Isle of Re (1626) to Lens (1648).

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Egypt serves as the ideal starting point for anyone aiming to study the institutions of Alexander the Great's successors. No other Hellenistic kingdom is as fortunate in possessing so many sources, particularly in the military field. The surviving documents provide profound insights into the army, extending even to the individual commanders and their soldiers. It is this army, heir to Macedonian traditions, that is described in detail in The Armies of Ptolemaic Egypt. The organisation of the Ptolemaic army is described in detail over its centuries of existence, comparing theory with empirical data. The evolution of this organisation, reflecting the challenges of the time, becomes clear. One striking aspect of the Ptolemaic army is the modernity of its organisation. It was a far cry from the pyramidal structures described by contemporary tacticians, particularly Asclepiodotus in his 'Tactica'. The situation is surprisingly reminiscent of seventeenth-century Europe. The Armies of Ptolemaic Egypt is enriched by numerous illustrations, mainly based on statuettes, frescoes and painted stelae, revealing the Ptolemaic soldier as he appeared from the third to the first century BCE.
