so-soThere were two major parts of the book. Urban covered the history of mercenaries in medieval Europe, focusing on specific groups (like the Teutonic Knights) or events (like the Battle of Crecy). I found the historical examination to be informative.
The other major focus of the book was how mercenaries were viewed through literature. I felt the book was less focused and jumped around alot in these chapters.
Decent book, but could be stronger.
Next up for reading.

This book.
My morning reading. #coffeeandbooks
How many times in history did this happen? According to to the author, beginning with Reformation, libraries were decimated by varying religious groups, with the intention of burning “controversial texts.” There are lists of these books.available today.“ Femina” was the category that destroyed female texts were cataloged under. I am reading the into- so much to digest on every page!
