Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the arms and equipment of the Anglo-Saxon invaders and their Frankish counterparts from the 5th through 10th centuries. Drawing upon references in Anglo-Saxon and continental literature, as well as the extensive archaeological record, the author meticulously reconstructs the weaponry used during this dynamic period when Europe's feudal systems were taking shape. The book sheds light on the tactics employed by early medieval armies, encompassing the evolution of weapons from those used by the Germanic tribes described by Tacitus to the sophisticated armor and weaponry of the Carolingian era. It explores the social significance of weapons, particularly the sword, which was a symbol of rank and prestige, as well as a formidable tool of war. This in-depth study offers a comprehensive understanding of the martial culture of the Anglo-Saxons and Franks, illuminating their military prowess and the pivotal role of weaponry in shaping the course of history.
