The author of this ambitious study puts forward three hypotheses to present what he calls ‘a new theory of medieval battle’. First, he argues that the men-at-arms – what we would best understand as ‘knights’ – were rotated on the front line as they could only engage their opponents for a few minutes at a time without becoming exhausted; second, that battles were far less deadly that might be imagined; and third that the overall numbers involved were far fewer than is generally thought. * Toy Soldier Collector & Historical Figures 21/06/2021 *
