Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Fencing master Vincentio Saviolo (d. 1598/9), though Italian born and raised, authored the first book on fencing in the English language. He arrived in London from Padua in 1590. John Florio described Saviolo's fencing school being, in 1591, in the little street where the well is...at the sign of the red Lyon." It was described by George Silver as being "within a bow shot" of what was later the Bell Savage or la Belle Sauvage, at this time "Savage's inn, otherwise called the Bell on the Hoop" ( Inns and Taverns of Old London by Henry C. Shelley, 1909), on Ludgate Hill. His particular nemesis among the Masters of Defence of the English school was this George Silver, who wrote his own book to attack Saviolo's systems. "
