"Hungary and the fall of Eastern Europe 1000-1568" von Nicolle,

Men-at-Arms 195
Author: David Nicolle
Illustrator: Angus McBride

Although not widely studied in the West, the medieval history of south-eastern Europe is both fascinating and complex.
The Kingdom of Hungary was a vast realm, at least the size of France, that endured throughout the Middle Ages whilst the
Byzantine Empire was even more extensive and enduring. The Serbians won themselves a brief but extensive local empire in
the 14th century; while the Bulgarians established an effective and cultured state. Other players in the confusing
Balkan scene included the Albanians; Wallachians; Moldavians; Transylvanians; Croatians and many others. How did they
organise their armies and fight their wars; and why did they ultimately fail? This title answers these questions ably
supported by numerous illustrations and eight colour plates.
