Medieval Warrior. Weapons of the Time of Charlemagne and the Crusades

The book is dedicated to the history of the medieval warrior from the beginning of the barbarian invasions in Europe to the last Crusades.

Based on documentary evidence of the era, the author traces the development of the military system from fragmented groups of barbarians in the 5th and 6th centuries to the well-organized army of the 12th and 13th centuries.

While examining the way of life, traditions, and code of conduct of the medieval warrior in detail, the author pays special attention to the evolution of his combat weaponry.
