During the second half of the fourteenth century, it underwent a particularly dramatic period in its history: the House of Leuven wason the point of disappearance, the duchy was coveted by Philip the Bold of Burgundy, who was already dreaming of extending the \"Burgundian Empire\" and, by a network of alliances, Brabant was drawn into the Hundred Years' War. Theauthor reviews the successive conflicts which troubled the duchy between 1356 and 1406; the different authorities which influenced the course of military operations (the duchess and the duke, their officers, and the Estates of Brabant); describes the combatants, in particular the nobility and the urban militias; considers the practical aspects of warfare; and analyses the military obligations and contracts which bound the men at arms to the duke. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSERGIO BOFFA is currently researching in the department of Maps and Plans, Bibliotheque Royale de Belgique, Brussels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sergio Boffa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1843830612\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843830610\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.52h x 6.46w x 1.19d","brand":"Sergio Boffa","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077584515327,"sku":"9781843830610","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b26e19a8-bed9-41ab-82c3-7089492b5843.jpg?v=1685470733","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/warfare-in-medieval-brabant-1356-1406-sergio-boffa-9781843830610","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
