Arms and Armour of the English Civil Wars. Cet article n’est pas disponible.Arms and Armour of the English Civil Wars

The English Civil Wars tore families and friendships apart, setting father against son and brother against brother. Raging across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, the conflict was the greatest political upheaval in the British Isles in six hundred years, and led directly to the execution of King Charles I in 1649. Keith Dowen tells the absorbing story of the arms and armour of the civil wars, and demonstrates how emerging weaponry contributed to some of the most well-known battles in British history. The book forms part of a series of introductions to aspects of the Royal Armouries' collection of arms and armour. Written by specialists in the field, they are packed full of fascinating information and stunning photography. Royal Armouries is the national museum of arms and armour, with sites at Leeds, the Tower of London and Fort Nelson, Hampshire.

Keith Dowen is assistant curator at the Royal Armouries Museum and author of Arms and Armour of the English Civil Wars. He has presented and published widely on late medieval and early modern arms and armor and on British military history.
