German Medieval Armies 1000–1300 by Christopher Gravett

In medieval Germany violence was accepted far more than in other kingdoms. Kings were recognised as guardians of order, but this had its limitations. Lords expected to use force to secure their rights or win an argument when peaceful methods were not sufficient. Christopher Gravett does a fine job of examining the organisation and campaigns of German medieval armies from 1000-1300, in a volume containing plenty of photographs and illustrations, including eight full page colour plates by Graham Turner.

Christopher Gravett is a former Senior Curator at the Royal Armouries and a recognised authority on the arms, armour and warfare of the medieval world. He has worked as an advisor for numerous TV and film productions. His previous Osprey titles include Warrior 1: Norman Knight 950-1204 AD and Campaign 13: Hastings 1066.

Graham Turner has been a freelance artist since 1984; specialising in historical and military subjects, particularly of the medieval period, and has illustrated many Osprey titles including Campaign 44 Pavia 1525, Warrior 20 The British Redcoat (2) 1793-1815, and Men-at-Arms 320 Armies of the Caliphates 862-1098. He lives with his wife and two children in Buckinghamshire.
