About this listen

This is a book about how medieval weapons were used, according to medieval people who used them. It discusses the use of eight weapons or weapon combinations from the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, selected with an eye toward their iconic status in popular culture, as well as five different combative contexts. The aim of this book is to familiarize the listener with the use of medieval weaponry in a general way. It is not a how-to book on martial arts, but the listener will come away with a fresh appreciation for the sophistication of medieval fencing and a reasonably accurate picture of what medieval fighting looked like on the personal level.

I was looking for a book about the use of weapons in war - especially related to formation use. This book has very little to say about the use of weapons in war, and is largely focused on formal individual combat such as that practiced by HEMArtists. It achieves its goal admirably. But personally I would have preferred the title and description to be a little more qualified.

A book about individual combat.
