”…well-written, well-told, and well-illustrated. It’s another marvelous volume in the From Retinue to Regiment series. Well done, indeed.“– “Historical Miniatures Gaming Society”

Jonathan Davies is a former scholar of Sidney Sussex College Cambridge, where he studied history, before becoming a teacher. He has spent the last forty years primarily teaching medieval and Tudor history, as well as leading a medieval/Tudor reenactment group. He has written extensively on a wide range of historical subjects, both civilian and military, including a book on the navy in the reign of Henry VIII. He has extensive first-hand experience in handling weapons, from slings to swords, pikes to trebuchets, and bronze cannons to crossbows. His latest project involved the design and casting of an octagonal bronze cannon barrel fitted with a matching field carriage for his reenactment group. He has written about, conducted workshops, and lectured on understanding the past through practical experience. He followed the route of the First Crusade in an ancient ex-ambulance and most recently completed a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela on foot. He brings a lifetime of practical and academic experience to the subject, providing new insights into a topic which has often been little regarded.
